Nectar felt her throat run dry as she entered Caitlin's room. Not that she felt guilty about what she'd done, actually she was proud of it but Liam's disapproval was sucking the fun out of it.
" Can you tell me why I'm here now "? Nectar had her hands behind her as she looked around the dark room. Caitlin's teeth were constantly chattering as she held herself tightly.
" My sister believes you attacked, I'm sorry for the bother you're majesty ", Nectar glanced at Axis who was sitting at the edge of the bed. Nectar's voice and face wore as lazy as ever as she glanced at Caitlin, " She's right, I did ".
They all looked at her in shock but Nectar walked towards Caitlin, " Lord Axis must think I'm being unreasonable ". Nectar held up Caitlin's chin and smiled coldly.
She heard Luscious' voice as he came out of the shadows on the other side of the room, " You're taking the words out of my mouth ". Nectar only pulled Caitlin closer to her, " Did you tell them the whole story "?
Caitlin whimpered slightly, glancing at Kancor who was staring idly out the window, " I didn't ". Nectar's smile only widened as she pulled her closer, " Speak louder, I don't think they heard you ".
Nectar let her go and let her explain what happened. Nectar leaned on the wall, hands in her pocket as she thought of what she was going to do today, [ I hope something comes up later ]
" I think you understand the gravity of what she has done ". They all remained quiet and Nectar sighed, suddenly smiling " Don't be like that. She'll be fine ".
Luscious suddenly blocked her path, his expression serious and angry " What motif did you have "? Nectar frowned as well, refusing to be looked down upon though he was two and a half heads taller than her.
" I don't understand you're question Prince Luscious ", Luscious only smirked, " You must have a reason though, everyone does ". Nectar sighed, rubbing her neck " She tried to attack me and hurt my people. That's all the reason I need ".
Luscious glanced at Liam who seemed dazed and he had his hand damaged, " He seems fine to me ". Nectar shrugged with a smile, " I have this strange habit of paying people who hurt my people by a hundred fold ".
Luscious raised an eyebrow, obviously skeptical [ She has to be bluffing ] " You sound like you could kill someone ". Nectar laughed playfully, shaking her hands " Look at these dainty things, you think too highly of me ".
The room was silent and Axis sighed as he got up " I understand your anger on this better, but if you could let her off ". Nectar pouted slightly, looking over at Liam " Do I really have to "?
They didn't understand what she meant but Liam shrugged, examining his hand " I think it's alright ". Nectar pouted slightly then turned to Caitlin, " Apologize ". The room fell silent and Nectar suddenly frowned " Is that too much to ask "?
There was only silence, I mean though she was the empress, she had no connections and was dumb to think they'd give her an apology. Nectar didn't say anything as she dusted her shirt and Caitlin started screaming her, arms glowing.
Axis and Bonsi tried to hold her down while Kancor had a lazy smile on his lips as he watched the whole thing. " You should really stop Qidu ", Nectar laughed, kicking imaginary dirt " I've changed my mind, I want an apology and I want you to lick my boots. It could use a shine ".
She wasn't delusional, she was a mad woman and a tyrant. The serious yet laid back expression on her face only made Fay feel bad for Caitlin. Axis didn't know what to do, he loved his sister and would happily lick her feet if she wanted but Nectar didn't want that [ I should have made her apologize ]
" This won't do much good for you're reputation you're majesty, you said it yourself. Those pretty hands aren't meant for killing ", Nectar only laughed at Luscious' comment, clenching her fists " I have many enemies, a few more won't change anything ".
Luscious frowned [ Many enemies? ] but Nectar waved her hands and Caitlin's hands grabbed at her own neck " But who said anything about using my hands ". Liam sighed as he walked towards Caitlin, " I think that's enough Qidu ".
Nectar shook her head, her expression dead serious " I'll stop when I have an apology from my lovely Princess Caitlin ", Caitlin looked at Nectar and realized that this woman was actually going to kill her if she didn't apologize and her life was definitely worth more than that.
" I'm sorry, I apologize for my foolish and impulsive actions ", Nectar suddenly smiled and the pain in her arms disappeared significantly as she regained her composure.
Nectar pulled Liam closer, " You just have to make that out to General Soul here and we'll leave ". Caitlin blinked a few times and bowed her head, " Please do forgive me General for any inconvenience I have caused you ".
Nectar nodded in satisfaction and waved her hands, the blue needles coming out of her skin instantly " I'm sorry as well princess, I tend to lose my temper sometimes ".
They all twitched [ You lost you're mind, not just you're temper ] Then Archie burst in with Lucy hot on his heels, " What's going on, I heard screaming "? Nectar smiled, the shards floating in a circle around her " You're aunt and I had a disagreement but we made up already ".
Archie nodded, looking at Caitlin " Really, she apologized? Aunty Caity never apologizes. How'd you do it ". Nectar only smiled, " Well, it was either that or I kill her but you're aunt is so smart ". Archie seemed surprised but Nectar quickly added, " That doesn't mean you do it too ".
Archie seemed disappointed but nodded in agreement, " That's good, you were making so much noise too. I couldn't get any sleep ". Nectar laughed lightly and scooped him up, " I'm sorry, it's my fault. Let's get you back to bed ".
With that, Nectar walked out happily as if she hadn't made enemies with two nations while nearly killing someone and yet it had been stopped by an apology.
