A Ridiculous Rumour!

Xavier smiles faintly and his growing happiness instantly brought a bright smile in his face. It felt like an eternity of sadness since he has been so desolate. These last few hours were the worst of his bad days. 

Xavier's breath starts getting restless as he never thought Maya went to the Cold Prison for him! He was so busy in self-blaming and even forgot to ask about her health.

He looks around and finds Maya walking towards the Royal barn.

'She must be furious...'

He is about to walk towards her but checks the edicts in his robes. He takes out an edict in his hand and lets out a deep breath helplessly. He contemplates seeing Maya's cold face while she walked and mutters "I should be in the Countryside Pavilion in a few hours".

He knows at this point that he is doomed.

Maya suddenly asks "Do you know any other animal which can speak like you?"

Eros tilts its head and stares Maya blankly.
