It's been a week since Wendy had gotten the news of the Queen's death. According to what the guard said, the Queen was killed right in the opposing kingdom's throne room. Wendy almost had a mental break down. She knew Chelia would have to become Queen. That also meant they would be going to war. Wendy knew that Chelia would freak out if she heard she had to lead an army to defend the kingdom. It also wouldn't help knowing her mother died in enemy lines. Wendy decided to keep this a secret from Chelia. She just couldn't be the one to tell her. She didn't want Chelia to cry or be scared.

Wendy had done everything she could to keep Chelia from knowing the truth. Mainly by keeping them in her room. If a guard knocked, Wendy would answer it. However today would be a special day. Today would be Chelia's end of the deal they had made last week. Chelia has bet that if Wendy won arm wrestling, she would be able to get revenge. Wendy would have Chelia all to herself down in the dungeon.

Don't worry, it's nothing lewd

It was early morning and as usual, Wendy was up before Chelia. Wendy had always been a morning person. Chelia was hugging her pillow and mumbling in her sleep.

Chelia: "Mm.... W...Wendy.... b...blueberry..."

Wendy walked over to the bed and gently shook Chelia's arm.

Wendy: "Miss Chelia, it's morning"

Chelia sat up and yawned.

Chelia: "Thanks for waking me up. I'm still exhausted and dizzy"

Wendy: "I told you, you shouldn't have had all of that beer"

Last night, they'd gone out to the tavern they went to last week. Chelia may or may not have gotten drunk. Wendy actually had to carry her back to the castle. Chelia said a few..... lewd things... when she was drunk. But Wendy knew she didn't mean anything she said. At least she hoped that was the case.

Chelia: "I know, I know. I just couldn't help it, it was so good"

Wendy: "I think you have a drinking problem"

Chelia: "From now on, you have permission to do whatever's necessary to keep me from drinking too much"

Wendy: "Are you sure? I may have to use the sleep spell"

Chelia: "I know. But you have permission to do it"

Wendy: "Yes, Miss Chelia"

Chelia sat up and pulled Wendy into a hug.

Chelia: "Seriously, drop the "Miss". You don't have to be so formal with me"

Wendy: "Would you prefer strawberry?"

Chelia ended the hug.

Chelia: "No!"

Wendy laughed slightly.

Wendy: "Then it's 'Miss Chelia'"

Chelia: "Should I call you 'Miss Wendy' then?"

Wendy blushed a bright red and started poking her index fingers together.

Wendy: "I...I-I....uh...."

Chelia picked Wendy up and body slammed her into the bed.

Wendy: "WAAAAAAAA"

The two of them looked at each other and started laughing.

Wendy: "Just Wendy"

Chelia: "Nah, I'll stick with blueberry"

Wendy: "Okay, Strawberry"

Chelia sat up.

Chelia: "I already said no strawberry!"

Wendy: "Actually, today is the day I'm allowed to get revenge on you"

Chelia: "O-Oh... right, that"😅

Chelia quickly covered herself in blankets and pretended to be asleep again.

Wendy: "You just woke up, so I know you're not asleep"

Chelia: "Snoring noise, snoring noise"

Wendy: "Desperate times call for desperate measures"

Wendy leaned close to Chelia's head and nibbled on Chelia's earlobe with her lips.

Chelia: "EEEEEK"

Chelia quickly shot up and covered her ear.

Wendy: "Look who decided to wake up"

Chelia: "No fair! You know my ears are sensitive"

Wendy: "And you know my neck is sensitive, but that hasn't stopped you from tickling it"

Chelia: "Fair enough"

Chelia laid back and looked at the ceiling

Chelia: "I wonder when Mother will get home. Even though I barely talk to her, I miss her"

Wendy's face went slightly pale. She knew the Queen would never come home.

Chelia: "What's wrong?"

Wendy: "N-Nothing, just a small stomach ache"

Wendy looked down at Chelia.

Wendy: "Anyways, I've already told the guards about our deal, and they've cleared the dungeon out, just for us"

Chelia: "Please have mercy"

Wendy: "I seem to recall begging for mercy when you've tickled me. However you never showed any. So no mercy for you today"

Chelia: "I never should've made that bet"

Wendy: "Actually, I'll let you off the hook on one condition"

Chelia: "What?"

Wendy blushed really hard.

Wendy: "K-Kiss me"

Chelia's face was now the color of a burning coal. D-Did Wendy just ask her to kiss her?!

Chelia: "I-I don't think I heard you right"

Wendy: "Kiss me"

Chelia: "W-Why...?"

Wendy: "S-So you can practice...."😣

Chelia: "Why would I need to practice kissing?"

Wendy: "D-Do you want out of the revenge session or not?"

Chelia: "F-Fine...."

Chelia and Wendy leaned close and closed their eyes. They got close enough to where they could almost feel each other's faces. Suddenly, the bedroom door swung open. They quickly backed away and saw a female guard standing at the door.

Female Guard: "Queen Chelia, your presence is required in the war room"

Chelia: "H-Hold on, Queen?"

Wendy's face went pale.

Female Guard: "Yes, you are the Queen"

Chelia's expression showed worry.

Chelia: "What about Mother?"

Female Guard: "Did no one tell you?"

Chelia: "What? Tell me what?!"

The guard hesitated. Chelia turned to Wendy, who was almost having a mental breakdown.

Chelia: "What's going on?!"

Wendy gulped.

Wendy: "M-Miss Chelia... t-t-the... the Queen is dead"

Chelia's face went from worry to multiple emotions. Sadness, fear, anger, and complete shock.

Chelia: "H-How?! F-For how long?!"

Wendy was almost in tears.

Wendy: "A-A week ago"

Chelia bursted out into tears. She then started crying. Wendy didn't know what to do to comfort her. Chelia then looked at Wendy with hatred.

Chelia: "You knew this whole time?!"

Wendy: "I-I...."

Chelia: "ANSWER THE QUESTION!!"

Wendy: "Yes...."

Chelia: "Why didn't you tell me?!"

Wendy: "I-I didn't want you to be sad"

Chelia: "F*ck!!!! Now I have to be Queen!! I-I can't do this!!"

Chelia got up and ran passed the guard. Wendy got up and chased after her. Chelia ran into the throne room and finally collapsed to the ground. Wendy started running to her when Chelia yelled.

Chelia: "STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!"

Wendy: "Miss Chelia... I..."

Chelia: "You lied to me!! You kept my Mother's death a secret from me!! I-I can't trust you anymore!!"

Chelia looked at the ground.

Chelia: "J-Just leave..."

Wendy: "M-Miss—"

Black wind surrounded Chelia, making a small vortex.

Chelia: "I SAID LEAVE!!! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!!!!"

The words stabbed Wendy right in her heart. Those words were the last thing she'd ever want to hear from Chelia. Wendy turned and ran out of the throne room. She ran outside the castle and into the town, not looking where she was going. And just like that, two months of bonding and getting to know the Princess, two months of fun and feeling alive, were over in that second. As she ran, tears dripped down her face. Only one thing was going through her mind.

Wendy: "C-Chelia... I-I'm so sorry...."
