After the banquet, Chloe gained a lot.
Popularity, more fans and supportive members.
Chloe retained her faction's members and even gained other members.
The priestess side, which had always been neutral, came to support her.
The aloof general's mer, came to pledge their trust in supporting her to the throne.
Chloe knew something was wrong but to her, the best way to live happily is behaving something isn't wrong when it is clearly wrong.
Every time, the heroine wanted to talk to her in the banquet, she found excuses to get out of where she was.
As for the queen, the woman had always been indefferent to her daughter's roping in members to their fanctions.
Maybe, the queen has other cards that makes sure that, her daughter's don't get the throne too early and easly.
Chloe was lying there in her living room lazily, sometimes watching news which will always get her bored so she will look at her mer husbands.
Her stare felt like needles to them. She scrutinized them up to the point that they couldn't leave or walj away from their seats.
They failed to describe the feeling, it was like a woman passing a place where alot of men were sitting idly.
I assure you, you will even forget your walking style.
Chloe was enjoying the way the mers looked arkwad when her phone beeped with a message.
She looked at the two messages carefully even squinting her eyes.
The first message was a bank statement and that gave her the chills.
Ever since the message that almost took her life, she came to fear every bank statement knowing it wasn't good.
" Hehehe system, why not help me read it." She asked the system inwardly while laughing.
[Why should I be the one reading you a message. It looks like a hot potato. Be brave host, that is your gift to unfold.] And with that it became silent.
Chloe tried calling it again and again but the system didn't even reply.
Chloe looked at the mer closest to her and she smiled ingrately.
Lenox was looking at her weirdly. Not Lenox alone but her other mers.
Chloe smiled adoringly while giving him her phone like presenting a gift.
Lenox eyed the phone before snorting and looking at the other side.
Chloe greeted her teeth inwardly while cussing the grumpy Lenox, but she needed his help so she had to humble herself.
Shamelessly, she crouched down in a kneeling position while massaging his legs, she smiled like a professional sales assistant.
"Lenox darling,(she cringed at the word darling) can you help your beautiful darling baby by reading a message? she has an eye problem." She even blinked her eyes.
Lenox feared her sockets will pop in.
Lenox waverd at her cuteness but when he remembered that even the system refused to read it, his heart hardened.
With a cold NO, he moved to the other sofa before wearing headphones.
Chloe clenched her fist to calm down her anger before looking at the other mers.
They didn't even give her a glance. She stood up went to her bedroom and with a loud bang, they heard the door closed.
The mers looked at each other before Alex spoke.
"Why didn't you read it to her?" He asked Lenox.
"Then why didn't you do it?" He replied back, the headphones were off but Chloe did not know that.
"Why should I? She didn't ask me." He looked at Cassen and Dylan before asking the same question
"I don't want to disappoint my beautiful darling baby with bad news."
" How are you sure is bad news?"
"Because you are stupid, something small like that you find it hard to think." Dylan replied.
"Say that again and I will sell all of your collections." Alex was really mad.
Dylan's reaction became comical, his eyes enlarged and like a cat whose tail was stepped on, he bared his fangs before silently sitting down.
What is wrong with his brain? Not that he is stupid, he just find it hard thinking so he gave up. They always use it to insult him. Alex thought.
"Silence." Nathan commanded.
"Have you found it?" Lenox asked Nathan.
"Without her approval how can I get any role." Nathan replied mockingly.
"Be patient." Cassen said.
"Up to when?" Alex asked. He was anxious at not getting any songs.
Cassen looked at the second floor before he replied mysteriously. " Up to the time she realise the truth, that there is nothing like fiction in this world, it will be soon."
He looked at them and said." The four of you also, you need to come to the truth and don't take everything as dreams. There are no lifetime dreams."
The silence was broken by Chloe's loud wail. They all rushed to her bedroom, opening the door, they found her slumped on the floor looking at her phone lifelessly.
Cassen supported her while asking, "who died?"
"Who is dead, the queen?" Chloe jolted looking happy.
"Are you crazy, we were asking why were you wailing like all of your kidneys stopped functioning."
"It's more than death itself." She replied while pointing at the still glaring message grudgingly.
"That damn woman wants this grandma to attend school, a fucking school?."
" How is that news bad?, I even support her." Lenox said.
" Support who? Support that tyrant in making my life a living hell. Waking up early, reading notes three times so as to remember and your deskmate there just fuckingly brushed past it and they know everything." She glared at him.
"Aren't you stupid then." Alex told her. " Whom are you blaming when you need to work harder than them."
"Say that again? You of all people with your fish brain have the guts of critisizing this grandma?"
"You you you" he just repeated those words because what she said was the truth.
"Yes me. A red haired woman, with big breast and butt, your wife and a princess, an adult who should be called a mother, they want her to study?"
They all looked at her speechlessly, she is starting to become more shameless
"The message you are showing us is a bank statement." Dylan face palmed. Their wife really changed to worse.
Chloe pointed at her phone ( opti-crystal phone), reading the message loudly.
Reading the message which was an acceptance to one of the leading university in the empire.
At first, Chloe thought it was a scam, but looking at the sender who was the queen she knew that that woman was really in for her.
The number saved was the tyrant evil queen.
The queen wanted her to attend music school? That won't happen.
