69. Working Together.... Reluctantly

Juliette's POV:

Out of all the things that could have happened to me, this just had to happen. Out of all the things in the world that Sebastian could've written in this stupid fucking letter, he just had to ask me to resume his lost while he's gone.

Go fucking figure.

I really fucking hate how much he never fails to remind me that he loves me, especially right now, when I'm pissed at him. He always knows what to say just to put me in another world where I feel like rainbows and unicorns are real and make me feel all fucking giddy inside. Sometimes I hate how he just manages to make me feel like I'm 16 again with just one look in his eyes.

Even in this damned letter, he makes me feel all giddy inside, even when I'm supposed to be mad at him.

But, right now, he left the Kingdom in my hands - with the family's help of course - and I have to respect that and put their needs first above my own. That's what the usual Queen would do, right?

"Hey, what's the hold up?" I hear Corina's voice through the Link, making me groan.

Someone sounds annoyed...

"I'll tell you in a minute. I'm coming." I assure her before closing the Link and looking at the letter again.

Now that I think about it, what pisses me off the most is the fact that he left.

He fucking left......to give me space..

Oh, damn it. Do I stay mad at him or do I appreciate that he thought of how I'd feel when he left?

Fuck it all to the deepest pits of Hades' Realm.

Sighing, I put the letter down and find my credit card soon after. Before I leave, I breathe in the room's scent one more time.....for strength.

Damn. I think I'll be working in here for the month.

I slowly walk down the stairs to witness a tense atmosphere in the kitchen. As soon as I make my presence known, the only people that look at me are the two sisters, and they both look pissed.

If I had to choose who looks more mad, I'd definitely say it's Maria José, because before her gaze softened when she looked at me, she was scowling and giving death glares.

"We ready to go?" I ask uncertainly, and both girls nod before they both speed over to grab both my hands.

Or rather, yank them.

"Yes, let's go now." Corina demanded.

"Certainly right, sister. I can't be anywhere near here right now." Majo added as they pulled me along to Majo's car.

We immediately got in and as soon as Majo was on the road, we had decided to go for breakfast at the cafe. Ten minutes and a Hella long silence later, we arrived at the family cafe and we all stepped out holding hands.

I thought that everything would be kept on the down low, but I quite forget that I'm a Queen, and I'm coming along with the two Princesses. As soon as we walked in, everyone acknowledged us and immediately bowed down before a brunette chef came to our table.

"Good morning, Your Majesties." He said with a respectful smile before bowing quickly.

"Good morning, Bernardo." The ladies both said with smiles towards the chef, and he returned the smile while looking at me.

"It's quite a pleasure to be serving you today, especially you, Queen Juliette." He said with affection in his voice, and my heart almost skipped a beat.
