章節 32: Chapter 31 : What the heck's wrong with me ?
Reli felt a bit sad as she kept walking. They were talking about something but she couldn't care less what it was. She'd never actually been able to tell what her mistake was or the reason Eros constantly ignored her.
She bowed her head slightly as she strolled down the green and red marble path that led to her palace. Normally, she'd be excited for this sort of chance encounter but no matter what she did - smile, talk, greet - he'd simply ignore her no matter who was there.
Reli knotted her brows, confused at her actions [ How could I let myself be humiliated by him? ] She began to internally scold herself, disgusted with her weak actions and didn't even notice she'd already passed the couple by
~ ~ ~
Eros had been dragged out by Athena as soon as he left his palace or little paradise. He couldn't really reject her so he'd agreed.
His Athena was a simple girl, she didn't make many request and always listened to his instructions. She simply wanted to stroll around the palace with him and since it wasn't too bright yet, he agreed.
He was actually enjoying himself and paid attention to the stories she told him when he spotted Reli. He frowned ever so slightly, Athena didn't notice. Though they were walking past her palace and on sperate paths, they were only an arms length apart.
[ What would be the odds of bumping into her? ] He didn't really like her per say but he didn't hate her. At first, she seemed cute with her curiosity with him but then she'd start talking about weapons and her family, then she'd complain sometimes; it sounded like nagging in Eros' ears and he was soon barely tolerating her.
Then she'd complained about his other Concubine, Lily and that had been the last straw but what felt worse was her yelling back in his face. She was the only person to ever yell at him and she paid dearly for it.
So Eros completely ignored her treating her worse than a stranger. She was even dumb enough to try and change her personality, doing the things he'd requested her to do a long time ago and that irritated him even more [ A person that can't stay true to themselves is the walking dead ]
But he had to keep her around so she could somehow convince her father to handover the dragon's token. Though he'd been ignoring her for a year, she would be desperate for his attention and happily do as he wished. But if that didn't work...he had his own ways of getting it [ Let's hope it doesn't come to that ]
But Reli didn't even look up at him and walked right past him. He glanced behind him but she really seemed like she didn't notice him. Eros slightly raised an eyebrow as he felt something was wrong. Only one person dared ignore him so blatantly.....His cold empress but then again he might be over thinking it.
So he leisurely enjoyed his walk with Athena, forgetting he'd ever met Reli along the way.
~~~
When Reli was done scolding herself, she'd already reached her palace gates. Wide eyed she looked behind her and saw Eros and Athena in the distance [ He's still ignoring me ]
Though she felt sad, she quickly reprimanded herself and walked into her courtyard [ Who needs him anyways? My brothers will be coming soon! ]
Though the servants were shocked by their mistress's appearance, they'd never seen her so happy before. She was grinning from ear to ear as she walked into the palace.
Reli hummed happily to herself as she stripped off her clothes and wrapped a towel around herself. The bathroom wasn't in the same room with her bedroom but across the hallway.
Still humming, she was a bit surprised by who she saw. The girl in front of her had brownish blonde curls and deep purple eyes. She seemed to be scrutinizing Reli and her ruined makeup " Where were you? You just disappeared after morning court. And why were you crying ".
Reli could only sigh as the girl didn't even let her answer " Don't worry 058, I'm not a kid anymore and I'll be just fine ". But 058 wasn't listening anymore and kept yelling at the door of the bathroom, not letting Reli relax.
After five minutes of yelling, Reli dragged herself out of the bath and walked back into her room, ignoring 058 who was still yelling " You can't ignore me forever. Answer me Reli ".
Reli sighed as she rubbed her temples " Stop nagging me 058, we're the same age. Don't act like my father ". 058 shook her head " Though we're both nineteen, I'm a lot wiser than you ".
Reli sighed again as she surveyed her closet [ How do Nectar and Liam make arguing look so cute? ] Reli was slightly disgusted by the dresses in the closet. They were nothing like her personality.
They were either dresses or skirts, all puffy or too elaborate [ This is what I've being wearing? What the heck is wrong with me? ] She searched to no avail and sighed. 058 had finally stopped ranting and was in the closet " You don't like it "?
Reli shook her head shamefully but 058 had a bright smile on her face as she picked a cream dress with way too many layers " I don't like them either ".
Reli looked up at her best friend and smiled. She knew she was thinking something ridiculous but that mischievousness was infectious and she soon nodded, agreeing with whatever 058 had in mind for the poor dress.
