MY WOMAN💟

The meeting began four days later as scheduled. As it did so, so also did her demons awaken, begun anew, her demons of escape. They chattered incessantly in her head, urging her to begin to plan her sixth escape plan as the meeting was perfect timing for her and a perfect distraction for her captor. En fait, everyone would be busy except her. Two other guests apart from Zoë had arrived two days apart from her. The first, King Thor Oswald of the iron clan as the emperor had introduced him to her hours later had arrived before dawn. It was barely daylight when he came. The second, colonial princess Fairy Rion of the rainbow colony had arrived two days after Zoë had come in a wonderful carriage just two hours before dusk. She had been out in the garden when she did. She had noticed that the lady was a pretty one. When she had returned from the garden, she had met Peter the emperor's butler showing the lady the way to her room. When Peter acknowledged her, the lady had greeted her alongside Peter and called out to her and introduced herself. She had instantly taken a liking to the friendly smiling lady and was happy to make her acquaintance. It was later that she discovered that they shared one thing in common. They both hated Princess Zoë Xing and thought that she was an obnoxious narrow minded psycho bitch. This had happened when Zoë had encountered them having afternoon tea the next day after Fairy's arrival in the flower garden. When Zoë had chanced upon them, she had prevented Fairy from curtsying to Zoë and the bitch had blown her top. She had seemed ready to beat her to a pulp but didn't and she wondered why. She had no idea that Zoë was operating with the emperor's warning in mind. Fairy had been properly amused by it all. Their slight friendship had grown stronger from then on. The two enjoyed each other's company.

Anyways, the meeting which usually lasted a week or more from her previous experiences inspired her to hatch her sixth escape plan. She worked tirelessly, mapping out every single thing, down to the finest details. She wanted nothing to go wrong. She was on the lookout for whom to impersonate. She could not impersonate Princess Zoë, could never try to be her, with her upturned nose and rotten lousy character. She thought long and hard on whom to impersonate and decided to go to the meeting with the emperor. It was the only way. It was there that she was bound to meet people, and note everyone with liberties, to get ideas on what to do. She knew that she would definitely find someone to impersonate, was especially confident about that.

'What do you want to do there?' the emperor had asked her when she had requested to follow him to the meeting in his study room, interrupting his chat with his brother, the third prince.

'It sounds like fun!' she had lied through her teeth. She was going there to scout, to look for someone she could easily impersonate, but he didn't need to know that.

'It is not fun,' the little prince said to her. She turned to him swiftly and only just narrowly controlled her impulse to glare at him. It took all she had to refrain from calling him a big poke nosing nuisance.

'It's really not fun mine,' the emperor had seconded. She nearly sighed hopelessly. What was with the two of them? That was her cup of tea! Was it not? She tried to force a smile and succeeded in doing so.

'I don't care,' she said with a pout. 'It is fun, at least to me,' she finished with a light snap.

'Matters regarding the seven Linamine clans are always discussed in the meeting. It is as boring as using the toilet,' the third prince said.
