Melia decided to start up a conversation with her siblings while eating
So Ryan is they any girl you like ". Melia asked
"Well not really ". Ryan blushed
"Hey what about us you don't care about us " Draco said feigning hurt
"Hey stop that nonsense you fuckboy , and in fact both you and Vanitas are band from talking our a even breathing the same air as a girl" Melia said
"What the why am I being mentioned I didn't do anything"
"Oh don't try to act innocent with do to you know how embarrassing it is walking In my palace and hearing maids talk about my brothers excapedes"
"But you and Maria and Bella are girls so not possible " Draco said
Draco and Vanitas smirked laughing but they suddenly stopped when they heard their sister smirk and chuckle evily they looked at her to see they sister red eyes shinning more and the gold flames burning with anger .
"Do you think this is a joke if so much hear you talked or fucked anybody I swear on father blood in me I will murder you and send you back to your mother"
'She never swears on father name or hers unless she's crazy serious ' Draco thought
"I will change all your maids to men just behave yourself and be serious with your life , why must everything about you two escalate in bad ways"
"You are not our mother" Vanitas said while Draco looked at him like he had grown two heads .
Melia scoffed and put her cutleries down
"You want me to get started on this mother nonsense episode well good for you am not your mother , your mother left you since you were literally a baby to go lover's tour dad and mom wrote to you dearly so I get it you have your loving mother.All of you. In fact the twins were shipped home, so get that in your freaking head and for me I don't have a mother the only person I have is Dad to be truthful it's not my obligation to take of you but I did just to repay him for all his kindness to me over the years " Melia said standing up and leaving the dinning room.
She left and met Jeremy outside the room just about to enter
"Your majesty I was just about to come meet you, why are you out, didn't you eat much"
Jeremy asked
"Let's go Jeremy I have a busy day today"
"Yes ma'am "
Meanwhile in the dining room
"You know the relationship between her and mother isn't good why did you have to bring that up" Ryan said
"Why is she so invested in my private life it's not like am a child why can't I have a sex with who I want" Vanitas said.
"I know we own our private lives but you touched her sour spot , you know she's more like a mother than a sister, she took care of us, all of us" Draco said
Maria and Bella just kept glaring at Vanitas and he noticed
"What " Vanitas asked
"asshole"Maria said
"Pathetic loser" Bella said
The stood up and left the dining
"Did they just say that what the heck" Vanitas said
"Well you deserved it" Ryan said and also walked out
Draco patted his shoulder and left.
"What just happened " Vanitas said and stood up and went after them.
In Melia office
"So Jeremy my schedule for today" Melia asked
"Okay first you have a meeting with count Durville to discuss about the sales of the lands and submit the ledger"Jeremy said
"So did you investigate it "
"Yes I had someone copy the original ledger I suspected he had hid the real one" Jeremy took the ledger and handed it to Melia, she took it and looked through it thoroughly.
"Why do I always have to deal with people like this, the price of the lands has increased and he collects thrice the pays and still according to the money he delivers he only pays only the original price and usurps the rest, seriously just kill him"
"Your majesty I would like if you would speak to him normally before giving judgement and revealing his crime before killing him brutally people are going to think you are a tyrant" Jeremy said
"They already think am a tyrant Jeremy "
"Point taken but please Your Majesty "
"Okay but just this once after this am killing anybody like this am tired of dealing with them it's frustrating"
They was a knock on the door
"Who's that "Jeremy asked
"It's Emily Sir Jeremy"
"You may enter" Jeremy responded
The maid entered and respectfully greeted the Queen and Jeremy
"Sir Jeremy, Count Durville has arrived he his currently in the waiting room and has been served refreshments" Emily said
Melia smirked "You did well as that may be his last meal " Melia laughed evily which sent cold chills down Emily spine , Jeremy saw the poor girls and dismissed her, Emily quickly ran out for her dear life.
"Did you really have to do that" Jeremy said
"What, What did I do "Melia asked confused
"That evil laugh"
"I didn't do any "
"You scared the life out of the poor maid, she was literally trembling"
"I thought she just exicited"
"You really don't understand human feeling whatever let's go"
They went to the waiting room, the Count saw Melia and stood up to greet her
"Your majesty, how have you been I hope you are in good health "The count said
"Ohh I am in good health but am not so sure about some bodies health some time from now" she smirked and her eyes darkened the count felt like his life had just been be sucked away. Jeremy quickly interveaned
"Then please let's have our sits"
The Count nodded immediately Melia has her sat first and Jeremy stood behind her before Count Durville had his sit
"Then let's get started"
"Okay, the price of the lands has remained the same it will only take a few more years until it price increases"
"Oh really so how much do you estimate for the inflation price"Melia said
"well 2 times the current price "
" Woah that much"
"Yes Your Majesty I have made sure to secure good prices"
"Hmm good. Jeremy please would you hand me that ledger"
Jeremy handed her the ledger and she slides the book to the other side were Durville was and he looked through it immediately he knew he was dead.
"Durville I can see you recognize this ledger, very well in fact but why does your statement not correspond with the ledger"
"Yyyy... Your Majesty this clearly isn't mine I was just surprised by how anyone could do this " The count said stammering.
"Okay then if it's not yours you can go" The count ran out escaping for his life
"Tell my red soldiers to go after him" Melia said and Jeremy mind linked their leader.
Those soldiers were cold blooded, Queen Melia named her soldiers based on colour and the top ranking soldiers from the third to first are said accordingly the gold in reference to her burning flames eyes, The black soldier her dark hair and deeds, and the red soldiers were the deadliest they were trained directly under Queen Melia literal cold blooded killers they never left a trace they were efficient, so for her to send them he knew she was pissed.
'well he did do two things she hates stealing her money and lying, and he still didn't ask for mercy and is trying to run away' Jeremy thought
"But Queen you could have killed him here" Jeremy said
"Well I didn't want to stain my Castle, what's next on my schedule"
Jeremy told and they used the rest of the day to attend to her schedule finally it was 5pm
"Jeremy what's next" Melia asked
"nothing for now but you have an auction to attend by 9pm "
"Okay I think I will rest now and get my dress delivered"
"Yes Queen"
Jeremy dismissed himself and went to get her things ready while she went to rest.
