...26...

I AM NOT A NOBODY💯

When she went back into the library, hurriedly, both of them turned to each other and squealed in delight. Was that their mistress? Oh no! They didn't think that she was -but she was. Xiera dragged Vura to the couch outside the library that they had been lounging on before their lady had come out. She sat and made Xiera to also do so. Then, she looked towards the library, as if to make sure that her lady wasn't there, before she turned back to Vura and began talking.

'I think our Lady has fallen for the Emperor Vura,' she said candidly in a low whisper.

'What do you mean by that? She has always loved the Emperor!' she refuted her claim loudly. Xiera's hands flew quickly to cover her extra loud mouth.

'Can't you be any quieter? We are gossiping you know?' she told her. 'Talk in whispers, undecipherable whispers,' she advised her. 'Will you?' she asked. Vura nodded her a yes as she took her palms off her mouth.

'My Lady has always loved the Emperor Xiera, always. Their love is so warm and wonderful,' she said in a dreamy voice with equally dreamy eyes. 'Oh how I wish that I could experience such.'

'You mean that you love the Emperor also? You mean that you would most likely come between them when you want to do that? Do you even believe so? That's deranged!'

'Would you be any quieter? We are gossiping you know?' she mimed Xiera's panicky voice from earlier. 'Now look who is shouting,' she said with a sneer.

'Oh I didn't mean to, you just took me by surprise,' she apologized.

'Well, of course I love the Emperor. He is a good and lovable man. But not in the way you think I do. He is not the man for me. I am wishing to experience the type of their love with the right man for me,' she elaborated on the subject.

'Oh, I see.'

'Sometimes you are just so dumb and frustrating Xiera.'

'And sometimes you are just so loud and annoying,' Xiera retorted.

'Oh whatever,' was Vura's mocking reply to her. Xiera huffed at the playful gesture. They began to laugh once again when the noise from below came to them once again, disturbing them.

'You do not think that she will be Empress right? She will never be Empress,' Vura said with so much venom in her voice.

'I wish so too, but the Emperor has yet to reject her and their formal engagement. So tell me, how is that not going to be possible?' she grumbled in reply.

'Oh, I just know that she will never be Empress,' Vura said with so much confidence and conviction that for a moment she thought that Mayhap Vura was planning on getting rid of the supercilious Princess. She stared at her pointedly.

'How sure are you about this information Vura?' she said.

'Well, I am as sure as you looking like this after a second,' she boasted. Now that was some assurance.
