Chapter 329: A Truth He Avoided
Rebecca started to complain and Talia listened to everything just like she does every time. Although Rebecca tried her best to be not scared, but she still couldn’t shake off the fear of losing her child.
"I miss you, Talia," Rebecca said after some silence. She felt it would be better if she was near her even though she knew it won’t be possible for her. "You were...you are my closest friend although I have a lot of other friends. You used to only have me and now you are miles away from me. I worried for you, but you went on expanding your friends circle. And I feel left out!"
Talia didn’t know if she should laugh or cry. She has talked about her new friends with Rebecca, but she didn’t think she gave the impression that she is closer with them.
On the other hand, with a lot of attention towards her now, there are some articles written about her ’close circle’ who also are her ladies in waiting. Some called her pathetic for having to use her status to have friends and being a snob for only choosing nobles as her friends, some praised her for being careful with her friends and there were a lot of opinions floating around.
Rebecca is not reading those tabloid articles for news about me, is she?
But Talia knew that won’t be the main issue Rebecca has. She should be feeling left out since she can’t have face to face contact for a while. Both were pretty close and although they contact each other using technologies, the distance does get them.
Nothing beats meeting face to face meetings; especially during desperate times.
"Should I write an essay about my friendship with you and publish it in the front page of Rosandale Times and The Star Journal?" Talia chuckled. The former was the most reputed newspaper in Rosandale and the latter was the same in Esteria. Both papers would give her an entire page if she asks.
"Will you? I really won’t mind if you do." Rebecca chuckled form the other end. "But you know that’s not what I meant."
