Usha POV
*Sigh
"It's boring, it's so boring damn it," I was complaining about my current life to my assistant who was looking at me with a fed-up look.
"What are you doing, chief?"
"This is the sixth time you said the same thing, please do your work," She said looking at me with a strict look this time. It was enough for me to understand that her patience is going down rather fast.
"But it's boring, I should have gone with Nikol leaving Alva here," I felt miserable as I felt jealous about my own daughter but more than that I wanted to be with Nikol.
"You didn't finish your work yesterday, you said you're bored and if you collect all these works, I'm sad to say but I would have to take extreme measures," I wasn't afraid of her but I knew these extreme measures won't be anything good.
"What can you do? I'm the chief," Since I didn't want to work I decided to tease her but she just straight up said the only thing I didn't want to hear.
"I will tell Nikol that you refused to help us and neglected your work, these papers will be enough proof of that," Her words were harsh and I knew she was going fo do it from her tone.
"Don't, I will do, Don't tell him," He was the last person I wanted to know about this.
*Sigh
"What happened to you chief? Before you met him you were so diligent with your work and you would even scold us if we didn't do something," She looked at me with questioning eyes but I returned that same look to her.
"You won't understand, being with him is fun more than anything, didn't you do it with him? If you get the chance won't you go and meet him again," Hearing my question, she showed a conflicted look.
"I-i can't deny that but still-"
"See, you have been with him only one time and you feel this way, just think about me," I remembered his face and how he always took care of us even in the most dangerous situation like someone from heaven.
"Damn it! I forgot that he's our goddess son for a minute," I was quickly reminded how different our statuses are. In midst of all this, I remembered something unpleasant.
"And that bitch! She escape through the back gate when I was busy," I took the letter Nym left us which was on my desk.
Right after finding that she escaped, I used many girls in our troops to find her. It took them a few days fo come back but they told me that she successfully joined Nikol and their group. They proposed to take her back but apparently, Nikol and Lydia both decided to keep her so they came back to give me this message.
"I will really kill her this time," I felt so angry that she acted so carelessly putting her life as well as all of our lives in danger like that even after we advised her not to do it.
"We can't get back to how we were before he came here, lifeless and with no hope and aimless," I felt chills down my spine just imagining a future without Nikol.
"Look, he left only for a few weeks and our servants, chefs and everyone look like they already went back to our past, no smile just working," I saw my assistant nodding her head approving with my words.
"I know chief, but still we should at least keep our tribe functioning until he comes back so do your best," Suddenly she dropped another set of papers on my desk.
"You heartless devil!" I cursed seeing it.
She left after leaving those papers on my desk with a little smile like she enjoyed bullying me.
"Does she actually hate me?" I thought but as soon as she left the room my eyes went back to the window.
I got up from my seat and walked there to see girls walking on the road and working but the energy they had in their work was nowhere to be seen.
"He really influenced all these people and gave them hope," Thinking about it, my hand suddenly went onto my belly.
*Sigh
"Are you there our new hope? I hope you will come soon, he promised to be with us forever and take care of you," Honestly, I felt conflicted because when I was pregnant with Alva, I didn't think much about it.
I thought I must get pregnant and produce a new offspring but right now I feel this strange emotion. It's definitely not something unpleasant but I don't understand to explain it.
"Nikol, come back quickly," I didn't know how different my current personality is compared to when I first met Nikol. My usual arrogant and prideful self was nowhere to be seen.
"How's that bitch doing without him? I guess she doesn't even care even if Nikol isn't here,"
Usha went back to her desk to finish the mountain of work she had while thinking about her oldest friend and enemy.
Eva POV
"No! Run faster, Faster," I shouted as I saw our troops getting rather dull with their movement. Since her daughter and Alva weren't there to practice newbies, Eva took it upon her shoulder as they cannot afford to halt training for a whole week.
"Your chief is a demon!" A girl from Usha's tribe said as she was running. They have been running around this area for at least one hour now as a punishment for their lack of flexibility.
"She is, otherwise she wouldn't kill us like this, I hope Alva or Emily take back this training,"
I overheard their conversation but I didn't care about it as I knew this training was more intense than before for these newbies so complaints were a normal thing.
"Get a break, don't drink water right after this," She gave some advice while sitting on the bench.
"Are they doing ok? I hope Emily is not troubling him," Eva thought while remembering the familiar face of Nikol.
Suddenly two girls came running in her direction like they had something to ask. She didn't mind answering them but Eva didn't want to give the wrong answer and mislead them so she decided to say no if she didn't know the answers to their question.
"What do you want girls?" Looking at them with a questioning look, Eva questioned.
She was surprised to see these two girls were from two different tribes and they looked like best friends.
"This is what I wanted to see, so Nikol was right all along," I remember his words which kept echoing inside my mind. Never in my dreams, had I expected to see girls from two tribes getting along together.
Both girls looked at each other like they were conflicted but not wanting to waste their leader's time, one of the girls asked,
"Chief! When will Nikol come back?" She was anxious to ask this question since she knew Eva had a deep relationship with Nikol but contrary to what these two expected Eva was actually calm.
"Most probably next week girls, honestly I don't even know the exact same but he promised to come next week," Both of them had happy faces hearing it.
"Why do you girls ask? Did he do something?" Curious about their objective, Eva asked.
"No! We were just-" Both of them had awkward looks on their faces. Eva being the dense woman she is when it comes to this emotion-related stuff couldn't understand it.
"My mother is a worker at the mansion and she told me how she was dragged by Nikol and how that was easily the best night in her life,"
"Oh so you heard about it and now you're interested?" I felt weird for some reason talking about my own lover like this.
ραпdα Йᴏνê|(сòm) "Yes, chief! Mother said if I can enter the troops I might be able to meet him so that's why I came here," She had a pure look on her face as if she didn't even know what she was talking about but she had a fangirl-like expression on her face.
"Me too! I joined because of him, I felt my heart pounding for some reason when I saw his last speech,"
I felt proud seeing so many young girls following Nikol's footsteps. It was like they found the hope that all of us couldn't give them.
"I'll tell Nikol to meet you two when he returns, don't tell everyone because I can't let everyone break rules," I didn't even know why I decided to break rules and let them meet him but I felt like they deserved it.
"Chief!" Both of them look at her like she was some kind of a goddess.
"Thank you chief, we will work hard to own up to your help,"
Both of them gave a slight bow before leaving Eva who kept looking at their backs until they faded back to the crowd.
"Nikol, I'm really glad I met you that day, otherwise my whole tribe would have died by now," Thinking about many things I went back to train everyone when the time comes we will be an unfathomable force to deal with dark elves.
