I DO NOT BELONG TO YOU💔

The sound of shrill screams came from one of the corridors in the Emperor's quarters, something that wasn't supposed to be for the sounds were undignified for royalty or those associated to it. Though the perpetrators knew such, they still could not stop the shrill undignified sounds from leaving their mouths as they went on with whatever they were doing. The perpetrators were none other than the lady's aides, Vura and Xiera who had been instructed by the Emperor to provide a detailed recount on what had actually transpired between their lady and the Draco Princess. It should have been an easy thing to do, without the laughter though. But, somehow, they had turned the report writing into a comedy script as they went. They wrote, suggested, rewrote, read and then finished it all with those shrill laughter that was almost uncalled for in that situation.

'No! Oh no!' Vura protested. 'It should be eighteen times. Our stories must totally align, including small facts as these,' she scolded Xiera.

'But it was fifteen times! I recall it clearly because I counted. I counted it as I watched in anger,' she argued with Vura who shook her head at her as if Xiera knew nothing at all and she really pitied her.

'It is not about who counted warrior Xiera,' she tutored her. 'This is about which is higher. How can I change mine from eighteen to fifteen? How can we go easy on that bitch that did that to our mistress. We ought to hype everything up you know so that they can get as much extra punishment as they can get courtesy of you and I. Think it over,' she told her.

'Now that I think about it,' Xiera began after indeed thinking it over for a few minutes, 'I recall that it was twenty strokes of the whip. I counted, I really counted,' she told Vura with an evil crooked smile.

'Now there, you are getting the hang of it,' she praised her. Xiera laughed loudly at the compliment. 'Come on, let's continue. Who else should go on this list of offenders aside from the main characters?'

'Zoë?' she asked her with a fulfilled look on her face. Vura scrunched her nose at the name.

'Come on Xiera, That is one of the main characters, Hera-Mera, Zoë, Mainkeina and Collins and also Winnie who dared to strip my lady,' she said to her with a grumble.

'Then who are you referring to?' she asked her in puzzlement that sounded just like frustration.

'Like the name of the guards who dared to touch our Lady, who dared to fight against us too? Like the name of the guards who ignored us in the dungeons? Like those?' she told Xiera with a scoff.

'Oh those! I understand now,' she said in enlightenment. 'I remember those guards and their names. There was Wallace, Fribird, Seth, Philip and I think Stones,' she said as Vura quickly tried to put them to paper.

'Who are those? The guards who fought against us?' she asked her looking up from the paper.

'No! They are the ones from the dungeons, the deaflings,' she nicknamed them. That had Vura abandoning her paper and breaking into one of those shrill.

'Oh God! You crack me up. That was absolutely funny!' she said to Xiera who only smiled at her.

'When you are done with that, you can tell me so that I can continue,' she said in sarcasm. Vura really tried hard to stop laughing then and to quickly focus on her.
