I gasped at her in shock.
How dare she say that to me.
The insolent little harlot!
I was more taken aback than upset at the words she had so casually flung at me.
It was as though she had a different side of herself that I didn’t seem to exist.
So the meek and submissive bitch had a tongue.
I hated ago admit it, but the way she had spoken to me, scared me.
I wasn’t sure whether to confront her there and then or let it go.
I decided on the latter.
I was going to deal with her one way or the other
"Fine." I rolled my eyes at her. "I’ll bring you the locket. If you know what’s good for you, make sure you keep it hidden."
"Thank you your majesty." She curstseyed.
I couldn’t tell if she was truly appreciating or mocking me.
With that I pushed the door open and left.
I began to overthink as I hurried on to Cherry’s bedroom.
My racing heart beat didn’t make it any better.
I was horrified and in absolute dismay.
Once I got to Cherry’s room, I didn’t find her in the bedroom.
I heard some chatter in the bathroom and decided to march in.
Cherry was in the bath relaxing with three betas. One was kissing her hand, her feet while another washed her body.
They all turned to merge moment I stepped in.
They were all naked.
I turned my face away.
"Aunt Cherry we need to talk." I said quickly and used the corner of my eye to see her.
Aunt Cherry sighed heavily, her eyes were still not open.
She waved her hands at the men. "Go away."
With that, one after they hurried out of the bath until it was just me and her.
She slowly got out of the bath. "You had better have a good reason for interrupting my bath."
"Jasmine. I saw her necklace. The Queen almost saw it." I said quickly almost stumbling on my words.
Cherry’s face gave a show of reaction and it was for a split second panic before it reverted to no emotion.
From how long I had met her, she barely ever exhibited any show of fear or any sort of thing.
But now I had seen that she wasn’t as perfect as she made it seem.
"Hand me my robe." She said.
I looked around and found a fur robe hanging in the bath.
I picked it up, she turned her back to me and then I opened it up for her to wear.
She then turned and tied it with a rope and headed on out of the room.
I followed her right behind.
"Did you hear me?" I asked. "The Queen almost saw the necklace."
"Loud and clear." Cherry said picking up a glass of wine and sipping. "But she didn’t."
"No she didn’t." Cherry waved her hands. "So we just have to find our way around it. No big deal."
"There’s more." I said not liking how Cherry was taking this so likely.
