I can't believe how popular the story is getting and we haven't even gotten to the romance bit (which will start next chapter) yet. Thanks to everyone, including my silent readers, who have read this so far! I'll be doing a double update just because I want too. And plus I believe it's time we get to the uh romance bits anyway cx The next update will be when either I update My Delicate Darling or publish Untouchable :)
Healing Fire
11/ Deliberation
Thirty minutes passed and the King began wrapping up his assessment. None of the reborn generals appeared tired, they chatted quietly, and oddly enough, Jupiter joined them. How in the world was the guardian dealing with any of this? Was she even afraid she'd lose him? That he would die for Fate's own cruel humor? Perplexed Venus stood up. She had stayed here long enough. Fortunately, the King saw that and approached her. Kunzite followed him. His worries disappeared and something else conflicted in his eyes.
Venus wasn't sure what it was.
"Venus, I know you are…upset with the current situation," Endymion said. "However, the Queen has brought it to my attention that you should work with a general even so."
For Aphrodite's sake, why does Fate do this to me? Venus narrowed her eyes, "And what do I suppose Her Majesty mean?" Annoyance laced her tone.
"Everything. From Small Lady's scheduling to the issues of foreign policy, the Queen and I believe you should relieve yourself and share your duties with a general."
Venus frowned, "And I'm assuming Lord Kunzite will be my new partner?" She was not liking where this was going. She was not ready!
He nodded, "You are both the leaders of your respective groups," was the only thing he said. "Seeing as Kunzite is keener on being at your side today, he will observe your agendas."
Of course, he would Venus didn't reply to the King. Couldn't she at least had some time to think this through? Everything was happening too fast for her liking. Venus may have closed off her heart and clammed up her emotions, but she still wasn't prepared to be this close to him.
"It was a careful consideration on our part, Venus."
Venus snorted, "I see…"
Ha, now they're "forced" to work together xD I think Neo Queen Serenity did it on purpose to help a sister out lol Welp, wonder what will happen now. Hopeful nothing decides to ruin things later down the road...
