Chapter Hundred and Twenty-three
ARTHUR'S POV
The economy looked great. The income was great. The farmers and their crops were the newest things in town. The exportation range was ninety-five percent to the importation range which was five. It gave me a large amount of joy because within me I knew it meant that I was doing a great job for my people. To anyone else it might look like a boring spreadsheet with numbers written all over it, everyone hated numbers, but at the time it was continuing a legacy. My father's legacy. He might not have been the greatest father life could have offered me but he was a good teacher of the thiaboutg to life. He would promise to take fishing and beat the shit out of me if I let a single fish get back into the water. Someone from Andrew's family where their father lets his children paint his face for the sake of fun during Easter. My father hated all those kinds of celebration and all things that makes him

ARTHUR'S POVI decided it wouldn't hurt anyone if I had a few shots of scotch. And I did. Maybe two shot glasses more than I had planned. If I was being honest, I was never a reckless drinker. I was always so careful of the amount of alcohol that I was tossing into my system, but this situation had me wanting to feel high. I, once a once-in-a-while drinker now had a few, more than a few shots of glasses defining my day. Anxiety was never a feeling to play with, I knew that now. Just as I was about to go for one or two more glasses, I heard a knock on my door. I paused, straightened, then walked as far as I could from the table to avoid any suspicions of me indulging."Who is it?""It's me, can I come in?" Edgar's voice said from the other side of the door. I sighed, already forecasting ev

URSULA'S POVThe fact that Nia had given me a yes was still a cause for celebration. A silent celebration. My mind reminded me. The last thing I wanted was to bring attention to myself. I hated it so much. Nowadays. Before I may have been a strife for attention and glory. I guess Andrew did bring about change. You never know what you are until it dawned on you. My door flung open making me jump. I turned around and saw Andrew come in. He looked at me with a smile on his face and I almost forgot that I was supposed to be angry with him for barging into my room like that. Since our night together I had been avoiding him. Not because I wanted our situation to end but because I was scared and didn't want to give him the wrong overview of what I wanted. I was already overwhelmed."Hi." He said, his smile growing.

URSULA'S POV"Are you going to tell me what you have in mind?" Andrew asked looking at me with his eyes squinted. To be honest, I didn't know if I wanted to tell him what I had in mind. I didn't want him bringing in any suggestions that would ruin the moment, but I guess if you love someone then you will not keep secrets about them."What makes you think I have something on my mind?" I said and he gave me the 'really?' look."I may not have intimately known you for years but I know you and you never speak in undertones unless you have a reason. Come on, tell me." He said, eyes sincere and waiting. How could I not say yes to something so intimate as that?"Okay, well. I have organized this meeting. An underground mee

NIA'S POVI did not know how I felt when I saw Gloria seating at the table beside Ursula but I knew that at that moment all I wanted to do was scratch out her eyes and see if the man was still going to find her as cool as she thought she was. I was still standing there, looking, imagining all the things, terrible things I wanted to do to her face when Elsa grabbed my elbow and dragged me down to seat on the chair gently."We had been waiting for you two for ages. You always do this. How many times am I going to say it like a poem that Arthur does not let anyone eat unless the table is full?" Kelly said, annoyed and impatiently. Without waiting for an answer, dug into her food stylishly, yet hungrily. I guess class had nothing to do with hunger huh?I dug into my food, grudgi

NIA'S POV"I am so sorry." He said, making his way to the spilled ice cream on the staircase. I just watched, annoyed. "I was... I just wanted to make it here before you go to your room again and I won't have to see you until it's breakfast time." He stood over the ice cream and watched for a while, probably confused about what to do at the moment. Was he supposed to pack it with his hands and go trash them outside? Most certainly not. As he bent down, I feared he was about to do just that. I had to speak up and spare him the... Embarrassment."You know there are maids for that right? You don't have to do that. The maids will see it before they go to sleep in the chambers and certainly clean it up." I said and he reluctantly stood up, nodding his head. We stared at each other for a while, nothing to say. There was a lot to say, just that there was no appropriate order in which the words will fly out."Lovely food right?" He said and I resisted the urge to laugh. We never used to talk

NIA'S POVI was not being ridiculous. It was safe to be worried and suspect than to just slide freely with the fact that a woman had never been married. I was known for trusting people easily. Ursula and Gloria exchanged looks before Ursula opens her mouth, then closed it. Then opened it again, and this time words came out."Gloria came up with all the ideas. Like it was all hers.""Wait, I thought that it was you who brought the whole thing up. Wasn't that what you told me in here earlier?" I asked."No, I never said that. I said an idea popped, I never said whose mind it popped into or who had the brilliant idea." Ursula said, eyebrows raised."Can we just start this meeting already? I kinda have an appointment after this." Gloria said and I sighed. Maybe it was best for everyone if I put my suspicions to rest for now and allow us to get this thing over with already so that I could get a much-needed sleep."Okay, well. Let's begin, sorry for the questions, I just... Never mind, proc

NIA'S POVI stood there, staring and wondering what I was supposed to say to Ursula now. I was enjoying myself, well not enjoying anyway but just coping. There had been a perfect reason why I had vanished from the dining table immediately after I was done with food. I did not want to keep looking at Gloria's face and say something I was not supposed to say, and yet they came right into my room and made the milk spill anyway. Gosh! Without even being told by Ursula or having the heavy conversation I knew I was about to have with her, I knew that if I wanted this thing to work then I was going to have to apologize to Gloria anytime I saw her next. Even if I see her sucking face with Silas, it was about me admitting I was wrong and apologizing to her. And I was going to do it, even if it killed me. It took me only three to five seconds to admit it to myself, I was a lot of things but toxic and u

ELSA'S POVI hated today. Even before I opened my eyes, it reminded me of one thing. The ceremony where the man I loved was going to have to choose a woman to be his wife. I had slept by 2 AM and by 4 AM I was up. The moment I got up from my bed there was no going back for me, no extra sleep or a little bit more cuddle from the extra furred duvet. How do some people even sleep when things are extreme in their lives? It's always been a problem for me. I knocked on Nia's door, as soon as I had had my bath and brushed my teeth and of course, gotten dressed up. Nia opened the door, rubbing tiredly on his eyes."Hi. Elsa, it's six O one, what on Earth are you doing all dressed up and ready to start a war on my door." Nia's asked, pausing and taking me in."So, you actually can sl
