"How long has she been floating in her sleep?" Liam asked,

"This is the first that i have seen her sleeping like this " Michael responded with a smile,

​​

"She did not come to take a bath did she?" Scarlette asked,

"Nope, she didn't, seems like she tricked us just to get to sleep more" Cecile responded,

"Obviously anyways, what should we do wake her?" Scarlette asked,

"We have to or get her down another way" Liam responded,

"I will take her down" Michael said as he grabbed onto her hand and gently pulled her down, they all looked at how peaceful she was.

"Hello, " he shouted and they all jumped and she flung up, startled Octavia came down, then looked at Michael sternly as she folded her cuff and punched him in the stomach.

"You deserved it" Cecile said, smiling as Octavia looked at them irritated.

They smiled nervously "we are sorry" Liam said,

"It's fine, I am your queen, not supposed to sleep in, " she replied with a smile.

"Sleep in if you want, do not worry about other people, " Michael said as she walked towards him and stretched out her hand, he grabbed her hand and she pulled him up.

"Sorry if I hit you too hard, " she said and he patted her on the head.

"It's fine, like she said I deserved it, " he replied.

"Okay, let me take a bath and i will be done in a few, promise i won't go back to sleep" she said,

"Okay, we will wait" Cassius replied and they all left.

"Hmm, I really want to sleep, though, " she said to herself as she pouted then walked into the bathroom.

About little while later when the girl finished, she got into a a white pants and blue top with a high top black boots and went downstairs, the others knew that she never really wears that kind of clothing so when they saw her they were shocked.

"Are you okay?" Liam asked,

"Yes, I am fine, why?" she asked,

"No reason, let's have breakfast, " he responded as the maid served the food.

The first thing Octavia grabbed from the table was the strawberry milk, she drank it like there was no tomorrow, everyone looked at her smiling.

When she finished, she looked for more, but Michael had the other glass.

"Want more?" he asked,

"There is no more" she responded.

"There is one more glass" he said as he showed he the glass.

"Please...." she said as he leaned in towards her and she stare him in the eyes.

"I will give it to you for a kiss, " he whispered in her ear.

"I am not that desperate" she said and he passed his nose on her face and she grabbed onto his hand, then sniffed him, he then looked at her and she leaned in kissing him in front of everyone and they all gasped even Michael was surprised, his eyes were trembling and as she kissed him, the queen collected the glass from his hand as he tasted the strawberry on her lips then she raised up.

"Thank you for the milk, " she said and he laughed.

"Wow, that was, uh... Unexpected" Liam said,

"Sorry about that, " she replied as she drank her milk and Michael laughed.

"You are a smarty pants" he replied and she winked at him.

"So guys where are you with the preparations?" she asked,

"Well, we have secured most part of the kingdom, all we have to do now is evacuate 15,000 people" Cassius responded,

"Damn it, that will take a while, if I had just noticed earlier" she said,

"Honestly, it is fine, we knew something like this would have happened or was possible, but we didn't expect it would be so soon" Cecile replied,

"Yeah, you just focus on your powers you need to make sure that you have your darkness under control, you cannot release it at any cost" Liam said,

"Yeah, I know, well i am done, i am full thanks for the milk, " she replied with milk on her lips, Michael smiled and took his handkerchief then wiped the milk off of her mouth.

"You are welcome, " he replied,

"You two are melodious, anyways, I checked up on some of the council members and some people in the city are leaving, they are going with their families in the other kingdoms, it's making our job a lit easier" Augustus said,

"Okay then we are good to go, i have to do some meditation, so i will help you guys later, just make sure the army is ready and those who don't want to fight, let them leave, i do not want..." she replied with a sigh,

"Hey Octavia you should relax and let us take care of this" Augustus said,

"He is right, just get some fresh air, but do not go anywhere alone, this is like a bloody fox" Scarlette said,

"Okay, I hear all of you and I will not leave, " she replied as she got up.

"Octavia is there anything else that we should know about what is ahead of us?" Michael asked and she crossed her fingers.

'No, there is nothing else, just focus on what you are doing and leave the rest to me" she responded.

"Okay, if you say so, " he said and she sighed, then walked away while he left staring at her.

"She is going to rip your eyes out if you keep staring at her like that" Cecile said tormenting him and he jumped upon hearing that then turned away.

"You like troubling people, don't you Cecile?" he asked,

"Yes, it is my way of having fun, " she responded with a smirk and the others laughed at him.

"You got rejected didn't you?" Cassius asked,

"How do you know?" Michael asked,

"Because I know her very well, " he responded as he tried to hold back himself from laughing.

"You should be patient, she will come around, probably in another life" Liam said smiling and Michael frowned,

"Hey, I am kidding, but you have to be a little ore patient, she is just concerned" Liam said,

"I know Michael" replied.
