"My Queen, do you really think that it is a good decision for you to leave at this time?" asked Nora as she looked at Wura with some worry evident on her face, Nora did not want to be negative, but she did not like what she was told at all.
"After all just earlier today you voice Olamide at all, so how you do not trust that man Olamide at all, so you leaving all of a sudden, that worries me honestly my Queen" said Nora as she frowned and Wura looked at her.
"I know Nora, and I was thinking the exact same way, but Mero changed my mind" said Wura as she brushed her hair.
"He made a good point that what Olamide wants is our land, and that means he will likely not try to create a huge damage, and since there is no way I am going to give into his demands, he either has a choice to accept it or find another way to try to get what he wants" said Wura.
"So what is the point in staying here waiting for him to make a move when I can do something better and more fulfilling with my time?" asked Wura as Nora did see the logic behind her reasoning, but still, she felt a something bad about this, it was not like her to feel unnecessarily worried, which was what made her even more worried now.
There was just something that made her feel uneasy about this whole thing.
"Nora, what is on your mind? What do you think?" asked Wura as she could see the clear look of concern on Nora's face.
"My Queen, I do not know why, but something just makes me feel uneasy about this... I feel like you should not leave, maybe something bad will happen" said Nora as she was not usually negative, but there was just something causing her not to overlook how she was feeling right now.
"I understand your concern Nora, but I have already made up my mind, I want to go, because if I do not go, I will regret it" said Wura as Nora frowned.
"But I get why you are feel worried, but you do not need to worry Nora, I assure you that everything will be fine" said Wura as she smiled and she looked so convinced that Nora did not want to discourage her.
She also agreed that Wura would regret not going, and she felt like Wura needed some sort of break from all the stress she was experiencing here, and she wanted her to feel happy.
"Alright my Queen, if you say so then I believe you" said Nora as she smiled wanting to show Wura her support.
"Thank you Nora" said Wura as she smiled, happy that Nora agreed with her.
"So my Queen, is there anything specific that you would like me to pack for you?" asked Nora as she smiled, ready to prepare everything Wura needed to leave tomorrow.
"*Yawn* Nothing specific Nora, I am not going away on a relaxing break, I am going away on official duty" said Wura as she yawned and continued brushing her hair, it was late, she was tired, and on top of that she needed to wake up early.
"So that means that I should not pack you any dresses?" asked Nora as she looked at Wura who shook her head.
"Absolutely not, now is not the time to be wearing dresses, just pack some of my usual clothes and please pack light, I cannot pack heavy that would just be delaying" said Wura.
"Alright my Queen" said Nora as she nodded and she proceeded to walk to Wura's closet as she started packing some clothes.
"My Queen..." called Nora as Wura had closed her eyes, ready to doze.
"Yes Nora?" asked Wura as she opened her eyes and concluded that her hair was brushed enough so she placed it on the small bedside table beside her bed.
"My Queen, do you think it will be possible for me to go with you?" asked Nora as Wura frowned and Nora was not sure if she had heard her, because Wura looked very sleepy at the moment.
"My Queen I want to go with yo, can I go along with you please?" asked Nora as she still felt worried, and she was sure that she would be able to rest easy if she was with Wura, after all there was nothing wrong with her tagging along.
She was Wura's personal maid, it was her duty to go wherever her lady went and she had nothing against going with her.
"Oh Nora, I am sorry but I do not think that you can come along" replied Wura as she yawned and turned to look at Nora who was frowning.
"And why not my Queen?" asked Nora as she did not get why.
"Well Mero suggests that it is best we travel light, it would be too dangerous for us all to leave" said Wura.
"It is better that you stay here with Elihu and the others" said Wura as Nora frowned, unable to hide her sadness as she turned around to tidy up Wura's closet that she had accidentally made messy while she was packing.
"Oh... alright my Queen, I understand..." said Nora as she nodded, she did not want to behave as if she was ungrateful, Wura said no, and who was she to argue with her?
Wura noticing that her words had caused Nora to feel sad when she had not intended for them to was starting to feel bad, she did not mean to hurt Nora, she realized now that her words sounded harsh, as if she was just giving an order, which she was not.
"I did not mean it that way Nora" said Wura as she walked to Nora and Nora turned around as Wura reached out and held her hand.
"What I meant is that, even though I want to go, I still do not want to leave the camp unprotected and I will be back very soon, so I need you, Zuph, Elihu, Zechariah and Luc to stay here" said Wura.
"I trust you all very much and I would be much more at ease if you are here, that way I will be assured that everything will go on smoothly" said Wura as Mero would be leaving with her, it would be too dangerous for all of them to leave just like that, it was better that they stayed back while she and Mero left.
"So please do not be offended, I did not say what I said to offend you, I said it because I trust you and I do not want you to feel sad, so please forgive me if I offended you" said Wura as she smiled.
"You did not offend me my Queen, I understand and I agree with you" said Nora as she returned the smile, she could not lie that she still would have preferred to go with Wura, even if it was only her that went along.
She was worried, who would take care of her over there, or make sure that she ate well and remembered to sleep early, or help her brush her hair?
"Thank you Nora" said Wura as she smiled, she always appreciated how understanding Nora was, that was one of the many things that she loved so much about her, and that was why she valued their relationship so much.
"You are welcome my Queen, but please promise me that you will take care of yourself and remember to eat" said Nora as Wura laughed, she loved how Nora was always worried for her, it made her feel happy that she cared about her so much, and she also cared the same way for her.
"Oh Nora, you do not have to worry I promise you, besides, with Mero there, I doubt I will be able to forget to eat" said Wura as she chuckled and Nora laughed.
"Alright then my Queen, it is getting late now, and you have to wake up very early tomorrow, so goodnight and have a good rest" said Nora as she smiled and she gave Wura a quick hug.
"Thank you Nora, and goodnight to you too" said Wura as she smiled and Nora smiled before she left, she would return early tomorrow to finish packing and making sure that Wura had everything she needed before she left.
Wura smiled as she yawned, remembering how tired she was at the moment so she walked lazily to her bed and she dropped on her bed and yawned once more.
She needed to get as much rest as possible before tomorrow, she did not want to feel too tired to get up tomorrow.
Wura yawned again and rubbed her eyes before getting comfortable in bed, closing her eyes and finally drifting off into slumber, forgetting everything that had made her worried the entire day.
