Hire More Cooks

Arabella watched as Nadia pinched her hand. She doesn't seem convinced and pinched her cheeks next trying to see if she would feel pain.

Nadia frowned when she felt all of it.

[This dream is too realistic. I should wake up already. Why would the Emperor and Empress be concerned with a territory as small as Safiro? We are just a speck of dust in the vast Empire. I'm hoping for too much just because I got hired.]

Nadia slapped both of her cheeks and they turned reddish pink.

"Nadia, what are you doing?" Arabella asked and Nadia flinched.

"Uhm, Your Majesty, I'm not dreaming, am I?" Nadia dared to ask.

"You are not. Rest assured that Safiro would be fine now that we know what had been happening there," Arabella smiled.

"Is Safiro truly saved now?" Nadia asked; her eyes filled with fear that she would wake up and this was just a dream. That Safiro would still keep suffering.

"Yes, we will do our best for that to happen," Arabella assured her.
