Chapter 122 Haahhh… What A Boring Day…

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

"Enter."

Concubine Allura ordered and a maid walked into her room.

"Lady Allura, your clothes are cleaned, shall I put them into your wardrobe?" The maid questioned as she entered the room while dragging a table that had a few clothes on top of it.

Allura nodded and the maid walked towards the wardrobe.

While the maid was doing everything, Allura watched her with bored eyes. The maid was used to such gaze; therefore, she wasn't very affected and continued doing her job skillfully.

After the maid was done with her work, she bowed, however, just as she was about to leave,

"Wait," Allura ordered.

"Yes, Lady Allura?"

"I heard Rue broke up with her boyfriend, is that true?" Allura questioned and her eyes shined.

She, as the concubine who was most interested in rumours, knew a lot and felt that this topic could get rid of her boredom for some while.

"Yes, Lady Allura. That is correct." The maid sighed.

She knew what that look on Lady Allura's face meant.

"You are her best friend, you should know the inside details, correct?" Allura questioned with bright eyes.

"Yes, Lady Allura. I do know a few things about it." The maid nodded.

"Then what are you waiting for? Tell me everything in detail."

"As you wish, Lady Allura.

So all of this started a month ago, Rue's boyfriend felt that the 'spark' in their relationship had disappeared and he talked with Rue.

Rue told me about it and I suggested her…"

The maid continued the story, however, in between, the excitement in Allura's eyes dimmed down.

"Yes Yes, I do not want to hear such a long story. Tell me in short. No wait, you might miss out on some interesting points that way, just let me ask questions and you answer."

"As you command, Lady Allura." The maid nodded.

"So, tell me, when did all of this start?"

"A month ago when Rue's boyfrie-"

"Yes, Yes, a month ago is fine. Now let's get to the maid question, who started the fight?" Allura questioned.

"Fight?" The maid tilted her head in confusion.

"Yes fight. They broke up right? Who started the fight?"

"Umm… Lady Allura, there was no fight… They just mutually decided that they should break up." The maid answered.

"Haah? There was no fight?"

"Yes, things were pretty calm; the two of them are still talking to each other as friends."

"What the hell? Who told them to act so mature? How in the hell are they going to make that entertaining!?" Allura complained.

'Ughhh… we are not talking about a drama show… Why would they try to make it entertaining? Shouldn't you be happy that they moved on and no one is sad?'

The maid wanted to say that out loud, but remembering who she was talking to, she shook her head in defeat.

"Ughh… why do mature couples exist? Why are you even in a relationship if you are going to act that mature? Aren't relationships meant to torture people? Aren't they meant to entertain people other than the couple?" Allura groaned.

'What a twisted way of thinking…'

The maid muttered inwardly.

"Haahhh… what a boring day…" Allura then sighed as she glanced outside of her window.

She then turned her head towards the maid and questioned with a small smile.

"So? How about you? Are you in a relationship yet?"

'Here we go again…' The maid resigned to her fate and answered.

"No, Lady Allura, I still haven't found someone for myself yet."

"Heehh? That's bad, isn't it? You are already 40 years old, Leane, you should find a partner soon, or else you will start ageing and will end up alone."

The maid, Leane was a cultivator as well, so even though she was already more than 40 years old, she still kept her youthful appearance.

"Yes, Lady Allura, I will try to find someone soon."

"C'mon, be honest with me. Your face is pretty decent, you should have a lot of people going after you, shouldn't you?" Allura questioned.

"There are a few who seem to be interested in me, Lady Allura."

"So why haven't you accepted any of them yet?" Allura questioned, she could smell the entertainment.

"I did a background check on them and didn't like what I found out." The maid answered.

Allura's eyes brightened in joy as she questioned.

"What did you find out?"

"They were going after other women as well."

"…" Allura then stared at her blankly and questioned.

"What did you expect? Do you want them to be loyal to you even though you haven't accepted them yet?"

"I… I don't… but since they proposed, shouldn't they at least wait for an answer?" The maid replied.

"Heehh? You got that wrong, Leane. In this world, no one waits for anyone. They liked you, they proposed to you, if you stay unclear about your answer, they will move on and propose to another woman.

It is a race.

They don't have the time to wait for a single woman."

"…" The maid stayed silent. She didn't think that what Lady Allura said would actually make sense. However, soon, she narrowed her eyes and questioned.

"But why are you telling me all of this, Lady Allura?"

"Because I care about you.

Because I want you to be in a relationship.

Because I want you to find the love of your life.

Because I…"

Allura continued, however, the maid already deduced the real reason.

'She just wants something interesting around her huh…'

"Thank you for your advice, Lady Allura. I actually remembered that I still had some clothes to wash, so I will take my leave."

Saying that, the maid stood up and left.

Allura understood that she couldn't keep her for long and didn't stop her, it wasn't that interesting anyway.

She then gazed out of her window again and soon, she heard another knock.

"Enter."

A maid entered and bowed,

"Lady Allura, your afternoon tea."

"Alright, keep it there." Allura nodded, she saw other cups on the maid's table, she knew that she was busy, so she didn't waste her time.

She doesn't want an innocent servant to lose her job just because of her few minutes of 'entertainment'.

She then grabbed the cup as a young man's face appeared in her mind.

"The afternoon tea huh… if only I hadn't scared him away… I would be having this tea with him right now… that would have been interesting..."

She sighed.

"Heehhh? Lady Allura, are you thinking about another man when you promised to drink tea with me this afternoon? Now that's not very nice, is it?"
