After they had all cleared up the misunderstandings about the letters they went to their assigned chambers to take a rest, since what they just experienced gave them quite a shock.
The royal children had been very scared when they got to see their fathers again, but it still ended up well as the families reconciled.
*In Shira's Chamber....*
Shira was sitting on her bed while reading a book that Queen Lorena gave her, she didn't really want it but Lorena insisted that she'll give it to her.... so in the end she couldn't do anything and just accepted it.
"This isn't as bad as I thought it would be." Shira muttered to herself while completely getting engrossed with the book.
*The next day....*
One by one all the royals entered the dining room but all of them had the same reaction when they saw Shira who almost fell asleep again on the dining table.
"What happened to her?" Queen Sheena asked one of the maids who was serving the food before her.
"We don't know Your Majesty, when the maids that were assigned to invite the Empress for breakfast they saw her like that, the Empress just told them that she was alright that she only forgot to sleep." The maid answered, while trying her best to not sweat infront of the royals.
*Pfft* they all looked at the person and saw that it was Queen Lorena, "Mother why are you laughing?" Asked her son.
"I-it's nothing, *pfft* ahahahahha!!!" Lorena laughed so loud that people who didn't know who she was would think that she was an uneducated poor lady who had lost her sanity.
"Lorena don't keep us in the dark, tell us, we know that you know something." Victoria pouted as she nudged her ridiculous friend.
The other Queens basically did the same thing which puzzled the Kings since they didn't know that they had become this close, but after remembering Shira's words the other day they weren't that shocked.
"Ok, ok stop pestering me with those looks on your faces." Lorena said while pushing Queen Anastasia's face away from herself.
"*Sigh* son, can you and the kids go and eat beside the lotus pond?" Lorena warmly asked her son who was oblivious to anything his mother just said.
And without hesitation, the little crown prince nodded and as if que the other royal children got out of their parents grip and went away.
Lorena looked towards the curios gaze made by her friends she could only smile. "Well, yesterday when we were about to go to our perspective chambers, I noticed that Shira's servants (referring to Lola and Ryan) were not carrying much, so I thought Shira hadn't bring anything to entertain herself." She said while looking at the person who was trying her best to stay awake.
"I then gave her one of my favorite Novels which was about a romance between a God and a mortal." Lorena noticed that even her husband and the others were secretly listening to her as she looked at their hands that were not moving.
She chuckled but just let them be. "Shira tried to deny it but ofcourse you know how I am, I didn't give up, so I still won in the end and she reluctantly took it from me." She puffed up her chest like she just accomplished something amazing.
"To confirm my suspicions." She turned to look at one of the maids silently ordering her to do something, which in turn the maid nodded and went away.
"Shira forgive me for barging into your room, but I promise I only ordered her to get the book and nothing else." Lorena said innocently while Shira didn't even bat her eye as she just constantly tried not to embarrass herself by falling asleep on the dining table...
After awhile, the maid arrived with a book in her hands, she handed it over to Lorena who had a grin plastered in her face after receiving it.
"I told you that you were gonna like it. You just need to believe me sometimes, look you even read more than half the book already." She said goofily, while Shira gave her a deadpanned look. The book had a circle at the face of the book and a green color would appear in it, indicating how low or how high the percentage of person had finished reading.
"*Sigh* Shira you know you can drink an ενέργεια drink right? You know to keep your energy going..." Lorena said while handing Shira a weird looking bottle with colorful liquid stored inside.
Shira knitted her eyebrows before gulping down the drink in one shot, "Hey! Slow down... it's not like it's gonna disappear." Rowena said while looking at her friend.
In awhile Shira abruptly stood up then ran around the table like she hadn't stood up in years.
"Woohooh!!!" She shouted while she kept running, the servants who saw this were stupefied by the Empress's sudden action.
(٥↼_↼) Was the expression the royals all had after witnessing what just happened.
"Lorena... Did you give her an A-rank ενέργεια drink?" Asked Victoria as she gently lays down Shira onto the bed.
"( ͡°ᴥ ͡° ʋ) hahahaha....." She could only laugh ackwardly because she's embarrassed that she actually made such a simple mistake.
*A few minutes later....*
"My Food!!!" Shira suddenly woke up and shouted causing the people there to stumble and fall unto the floor. They all looked at her as if she was crazy, while pulling out a face that look like....(눈‸눈) this.
"What???" She asked them as if nothing just happened awhile ago. Shira looked at them with indifference as her face gradually returned to how she usually look like
