One woman
Some days passed by.
Maria spent most of her time with the demigod.
The two had hit it off quite well, too well in fact.
Maria considered the woman her friend- her second friend in this world. She wasn’t sure if the demigod thought of her the same or not though.
Meanwhile-
Missives were sent to the other allied nations about a meeting taking place just tomorrow.
“What do you think the outcome would be of the meeting?” The demigod said, staring out.
They were in the garden.
Just the two of them…. And some guards by the door.
“How would I know?” Maria said, sipping her tea.
Lately, she’d been drinking far too much.
“I had a feeling you would. You’re far too intelligent.”
“No… I’m just reasonable. And I can make the logical assumption of what they would indeed do. However-”
A shrug. “Did Claire set you up for this? Hanging out with me, keeping me company?”
“You’re asking that after all this time?”
