"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.
