Chapter 12: Roka's plea
That Night
My Room
Those massive white doors are cluttering up the place, I want to move already. Then me and Roka can do this,
*he-he-he-,
and that. My Imagination starts running away with me.
*Knock knock
I get up. It's Roka.
"Roka, Wha"
I look at her face, it seems serious.
"Please come in."
She does, then sits down at the table facing me, I join her
"It's about Lady Felmina, and what happened today... She's not a bad person really, I'm not sure why she hates me now but-"
"Take your time"
"It must be a misunderstanding, it has to be, something must have happened. Please reconsider going to the marriage interview, I mean I appreciate you standing up for me and all this afternoon and I understand why you rejected it."
"That is..."
"It's about Steph.. or should I say Lilith isn't it?"
I stay Silent.
"Please sleep on it at least"
"I'll consider it since it's you that's asking but, wouldn't you get even a bit jealous if I start seeing someone else. I mean considering that things are going so well between us."
"You're kind of weird you know that, I mean for men who have a high standing, it's considered really strange to only have one wife. My Father had 6 wives and 14 concubines so I mean, if it's lady Felmina, I don't mind, as long as we can clear up this misunderstanding between us, she's really nice. We got along just fine until recently."
"It's getting late princess, you better go, but I promise you I'll think about it."
She leaves. I write a bit then I go to lay down than pass out.
