"If that's it, then I would like to go and have some more fun," she said,

"Yeah, you are done for now" Cecile replied as she walked into the throne room and Michale flung up from his seat.

​​

"What is it?" she asked,

"Everything okay, there your highness?" Cecile asked with a wicked smirk,

"I really do not know what kind of conspiracy this is but whatever the hell it is I suggest you guys stop it, " he responded then rushed out of the throne room and the queen started laughing.

"Just watch the look on his face damn that was really worth it," Octavia said,

"Are you sure it was?" Cecile asked,

"Yeah, don't worry, I won't hurt his feeling, " she responded,

"Not intentionally," Cecile said,

"He does care and I know that better than anyone but I cannot love him the same way" she replied,

"I get it, but why are you doing this? Is it to really get back at him or are you deliberately doing it to torment the kid ?" Cecile asked,

"To torment him, " she responded with a wicked smirk.

"I will go find him before he thinks otherwise," the queen said,

"Okay. I will go check on the preparation of the statue for your parents in the middle of the city" Cecile replied then left.

Octavia went searching for Michael but could not find him in the castle so she went to the garden and there he was looking up at the bright blue sky while laying on the ground.

"Hey," she said as she sat down near him.

"Oh.. hi your highness" he replied,

"Sorry if I went a little too far," she said and he looked at her smiling,

"It's okay, I had fun, to be honest" he replied.

"Oh well, I thought that you were disgusted," she said,

"Never in a million years, " he replied as he placed his head on her shoulder and she stared at him.

"What's wrong?" she asked,

He looked at her with his eyes sparkling.

"I thought I would have a lot more time with you but... It appears that I was completely wrong, " he responded with a frown.

She gasped "he knew all along and I know that, but he never really talked about it," she said to herself then patted him on the head.

"I will be here for a while, relax," she said,

"If you say so, " he replied as she placed her head on his shoulder and they looked at the birds flying in the sky together.

"I have to go to the city to check on the construction, Cecile might be there too, do you want to come with me?" she asked,

"Yeah, I would love to, " he responded.

Both of them got up and went to the carriage, they got in and went straight into the city.

Upon arriving there she saw Cecile was having a little problem with one of the workers so she went to them.

"Everything okay here Cecile?" she asked and a few of the subjects bowed to her.

"He wants a raise of pay when he is not doing a thing, I mean he won't even help the other workers, acting like he is a king," Cecile said as Octavia looked at the young man.

"You want a raise of pay even though you are not doing a damn thing?" the queen asked,

"I deserve it, I have been here executing your plans and you are going to ask me that" he responded and the queen lifted her right brow,

"What if I do not give you a raise of pay? What will you do then? " She asked the guy,

"I will stand for what the councilman said that day about you, " he responded and her eyes glowed dark,

"Oh, so you are on the wrong path too, maybe I should fix that," she said then slapped him to the floor, ''He then looked at her with his mouth bleeding due to the impact of the hit.

He then stood up and looked at her sternly as he pulled his sword and the queen grabbed it out of his hand, then pointed it at his neck even though everyone was staring.

"You are a bully, you take advantage of innocent and you will receive no pay," she said,

"But your highness what about my workers?" he asked,

"There is no need to worry about them =, I will increase their pay and keep an eye on them myself, there is no need for you to stay, get lost: she replied in anger.

"Your highness," he said as he bowed to her, and as he was about to grab her feet Michael saw and kicked him into a cart.

"Don't even think of touching her" Michael said,

"I am sorry your highnesses," he said as he fell on his knees,

"I said leave, I will not repeat myself, " she replied and the guy got up, grabbed his things, and then ran off.

"You guys carry on with your work," she said as they went and sat down by the ice cream shop.

She looked at all of the delicious flavors and she wanted one really bad, Michael saw so he went and brought her a chocolate ripple cone.

"Thank you, Michael," she said,

"Most welcome, " he replied, then gave it to her and she collected it smiling while he gave a strawberry ripple to Cecile.

As Octavia began eating her ice cream, her face started to glow in his eyes since he was falling more and more in love with her every day.

'This is amazing, " she said as she shoved a spoon, fill of ice cream in Michael's mouth and everyone started laughing including the customers.

"You are right, it is really delicious, today has been a lot of fun," Michael said,

"Yeah, it is thanks to you Octavia " Cecile replied,

"Not only me, if I hadn't treated Michael that way, we would have all been moping around," she said then patted him on the shoulder.
