Chương 67: Chapter 66 : I'm so talented.
Nectar kept glancing between Luscious and Axis from the corner of her eye [ I feel like I've seen them before ] but she couldn't remember why. Everything from earlier today was a hazy blur, she remembered the eating competition and getting in a fight but everything else was beyond her.
Since Axis was closer, they welcomed him first. She was a bit surprised by his third eye but she'd seen weirder and she honestly found it interesting. She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't realize Eros had left her behind already.
" Is something wrong your majesty "? Nectar blinked several times, " What "? Axis features calmed some as Nectar stopped staring, " You were lost in thought empress "? Nectar nodded, pointing between her brows " I'm sorry about that, I just find that very fascinating ".
Axis raised an eyebrow, " You don't find me strange "? Nectar tilted her head to the side, confused " Strange can be good my lord ". Axis smiled faintly, " You flatter me, you don't have to spare my feeling your highness ".
Nectar shook her head defiantly, " I'm serious and I've never seen hair that looks as soft and shiny as yours either ". Axis seemed surprised by the odd compliment [ I feel like I've heard that before ] but Nectar curtseyed and walked faster to catch up with Eros.
Axis couldn't help but smile when someone tugged on his sleeve. He looked down at the little boy, " She seems nice father ". Axis nodded, picking Archie up " It'll be good if it stays that way ".
Nectar frowned slightly as she looked at the ships in the harbor. It felt like someone was staring at her but it made her oddly uncomfortable.
Nectar watched as Eros talked with Luscious and sighed [ Shame he ended up dying at the end of the celebration....but that's not my problem ] She was startled when two ears appeared in front of her.
" Is something the matter Princess Lucia "? Lucy smiled lazily, looking up at Nectar " I was just wondering the same thing "? Nectar swallowed back her retort and tried to sound polite, " I'm not sure what you mean Princess ".
Lucy yawned tiredly, " You've been staring at me since you arrived ". Nectar still couldn't understand why this conversation was even happening [ Is she trying to provoke me? Not doing a very good job though ]
Nectar smiled playfully, breathing on Lucy's pointy ears " You're just very eye catching princess ". Lucy backed away immediately, her face as red as a tomato as her ears came down, " That was unfair ".
Nectar shrugged playfully, stepping forward and closing the small distance between them, " You're quite cute Princess Lucia ". Nectar gave her a quick hug, whispering in her ear " And fun to tease as well ".
Luscious was a bit surprised by the exchange. From his own point of view, the two seemed to have become quick friends even hugging each other.
That only peaked his interest more. He'd been observing her the moment he spotted her but she seemed fake to him [ A typical hypocritical royal ] like she was holding herself back.
And now he was certain he'd seen her somewhere. He even thought she was the one from the bar earlier but shouldn't be possible, she had bright glowing red eyes while the empress had azure eyes.
And that tavern was far from the palace, barely within the capital. And she had long snowy white hair but he never saw the one called Red's hair throughout their encounter.
Nectar happily giggled to herself as Lucy turned redder and redder [ She won't be bothering me for a while ] When she felt a gentle tug on her hair, turning around she saw Liam giving her a disapproving glare.
Nectar pouted slightly [ I didn't even start it ] stepping back into character. When Eros suddenly turned to her and held her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze " I'm sorry my empress, I won't be able to escort you back ".
Nectar felt the corners of her mouth twitch as she stifled a victory laugh [ I've never been so happy to be abandoned before ] " Of course your majesty. I'll leave you be now ".
Nectar happily greeted them goodbye and forced her self to walk slowly and not skip for joy. When she passed Axis' ship, she saw a little boy crying.
Tilting her head to the side, she instantly recognized the little boy but from what she could remember, Archie had gotten hurt in an incident [ Who knew peace alliances could be so dangerous ]
She knew that Axis and Luscious were best friends but she'd never heard he open mourned for him. She couldn't blame him though, she heard he'd been cursed years ago and demons weren't fond of emotions. Some said he was cursed by his father but that was hearsay.
[ But since I'm here, why not sniff around a little? ] Nectar turned back around and walked up to Axis. She spoke as sweetly as she could while trying to seem like she was helping out of good will, " Is there a problem Lord Vogs "?
Axis sighed in frustration as he turned to Nectar, he'd told the boy they couldn't go out to see the town today like they'd originally planned and he'd started crying. He told him to stop but his face was as angry looking as always and his tone chilly...not that he meant to and it only made it worse.
" Forgive me your highness, he can be quite spoilt at times ". Nectar waved it off, bending to see Archie eye to eye " What's wrong little guy "? The boy's sobbing reduced as he rubbed his eyes " The bad man won't let me and mother see the new places ".
Axis nearly popped a vein while Nectar held back her laugh and smiled, " Tell you what, how about I show you around. Give you a royal tour ".
Archie's eyes brightened as he nodded. Nectar stood straight, mentally preparing the best roots for Archie when the blonde lady appeared in her face, glaring at her " That won't be necessary, maybe another time your highness ".
Nectar felt confused as she smiled lazily at the woman in front of her [ How do I make enemies without even trying?.....I'm so talented ]
