Nectar groaned as she felt something lift her off the blankets, " Five more minutes Liam ". Nectar had been more than happy when Liam woke up; that meant she could get some sleep.
Liam sighed as he used his powers to put her back down, " Aren't you going to eat "? Nectar cried out dramatically, " Stop talking, go away ". Liam did the complete opposite and tricked the kids into thinking that Nectar had a surprise for them.
Nectar angrily blew her hair out of her face as she dumped out of the carriage, " Your the only one dumb enough to do this ". Liam only nodded and smirked and Nectar clenched her teeth, " You bloody.... ".
Liam pinched her cheek, " Are you really going to cus in front of kids "? Nectar glared at him and swatted his hand away, " I'll deal with you later ". Nectar lost even more of her appetite when she realized they would all be eating lunch together.
" And that includes father ", Nectar smoothed out her hair and drew her blue robe tighter over her body. She let her hair down and now she played with the tip of it, calming herself down.
She looked back at the others, " Whoever finishes first leaves for the carriage first and we stay put. Agreed "? Everyone found themselves nodding while Liam rolled his eyes.
A tent had been set up with a large circular table within. There were a few carriages scattered about, guards and servants of all five countries around. Nectar sighed and squeezed Marco's hand gently.
He looked up at her and smiled, patting the back of her hand, " Don't worry Sister Qidu, it'll be all right ". Nectar smiled and took a deep breath, " I just hope your right ".
The table was still being set so they patiently stood around and talked in groups. Nectar had barely stepped into the tent when Lucy appeared beside her and shook her hand lightly, " Empress Nectar, you're looking nice ".
Nectar laughed and took the tip of her hand, " I could say the same for you Princess Lucia ". Lucy nodded, " It's only because of your help ". They stared at each other for a few seconds and burst out laughing.
" I nearly forgot who I was talking to ", Lucy tilted her head to the side, " Tell me, how did you make this. It'll be our little secret ". Nectar didn't get to answer as something small slammed into her and held on to her leg, " Sister Qidu "! " Nice to see you too Archie ".
Nectar pretended to be surprised as she carried him and touched his ear, " Seems you like it lil prince ". Archie nodded, " Of course, I'm looking for Nichole though ". Since they were close, Nectar could hear Nichole's voice over the mana stone, " That's cheating ".
Nectar laughed, putting him down and watching him run off, [ When did they even start playing ] Lucy was gone as well. Nectar smiled contently at the scene in front of her and mumbled to herself, " Why can't it be like this all the time "?
" It would eventually get boring ", Nectar smiled as she turned and looked at Kancor " Believe me, it's better when compared to many over things ". Kancor tilted his head to the side but Nectar cleared her throat and smiled, " You remind me of a pessimistic friend of mine though ".
Kancor felt an arrow in his heart [ Should I be happy she thinks of me? ] and he wasn't wrong. Nectar giggled to herself, " I'm sorry, he's just a bit negative ". Kancor smiled slightly, " I'm sure it's not that bad ".
Nectar put a finger to her lip and smiled slightly, " He's a good friend of mine " [ She didn't say was ] " Then why be friends with someone so negative? You seem like the complete opposite ". Kancor noticed the slight smile on her lips, something she did when she managed to be happy and sad at the same time.
" Because I understand he's negative cos he's so used to disappointment. And I can relate to that ", Kancor blinked a few times and gulped back his words, " I'm jealous ". Nectar laughed again, " I barely know you ".
Kancor again held his chest and made a hurt face, " Even after the dance we shared ". Nectar didn't know why but she liked Kancor, especially for his sense of humor but he felt oddly familiar.
" Greetings to the empress, the clear sky that protects the dragons domain ", Nectar frowned slightly and turned to the direction of the voice. Nectar looked the woman with curly lavender hair and a large white fur coat up and down and blinked, not understanding why she was being given a smug look " Sorry but who exactly are you "?
