Meeting

"Are you joking with me? Or do you pity me?", Juli inquired.

"No, there is no reason for me to do that." Octa was serious. "Don't you care about the real Livia? Shouldn't you hate?", Juli inquired again.

"I don't know. What are you talking about but I know one thing for sure. I don't have any right to hate you or judge you at all. Hmm... about Livia... If Flavia and Quintus already know about you then I don't need to think about it. They are her friends and family. I'm a mere servant here."

Juli was shocked at Octa's explanation. But she was also familiar aware that nobody cared for her, and Juli didn't care about it either. So, what was the point of crying and all this drama?

Juli rested in the infirmary for a few more hours until it was lunchtime. Quintus sent her a message via his messenger. He told her Prince Eros wanted to meet us again in his quarters.
