Mr. Sarcastic

Prologue

-- And they kissed,  but it was a heartbroken and sorrowful kiss.

It was the only kiss they could ever have and Lessonia was thankful.

But as Marse trudged away, his leather armor clad back facing hers and a meter between them that felt like centuries to climb.

She was filled with hatred,  and regret.

To this man who only came and come away,  to leave her in her white throned room, and left a gap that could never be replaced.

I hate you Marse. She whispered to no one but the crystal enclaves of her castle.

Why did you have to be with the enemy?

--------

"So he just left her? "

" Yups! Because he had to fight a war for her sake,  but to do that he had to become a spy. "

" So she doesn't know? "

" No. But her father does. "

" Her father....but isn't she the Queen? "

" Yes,  but her father abdicated and faked his death so he could investigate the Conspirators. "

" Then her father was not as cruel as they thought him to be. "

" No. "

" I see. Thanks for handing me the manuscript before the deadline Rie. This will give me more time to edit. "

" Thank you for editting my works to perfection Tilde. "

" Of course I'm paid for it. "Tilde, the lithe blond agent laughed.

"Plus, I get to read the early drafts of the next bestseller."

"It's still to early~"

"But I've read the manuscripts for the first and second book and it seems promising so far. As long as you let me edit it it's sure to become a hit!"

"You've always done more than the ordinary book agents Tilde. " Rie smiled at her.

" Other book agents wouldn' t offer to proofread their client's bool first but instead leave the job to the editors. "

" Honestly you're better than the editor they assigned me over at Barlem's"

"Is that old hag still nagging at you to make the sex scenes? "

" Yes. She told me to make a sex scene,  one at the citadel,  one at the throne room and one at the enemy's ship! Isn't that old hag too lusty for her good. "

They laughed at this.

" Anyway it's almost late. "Tilde looked at her watch, simple and elegant as her.

" Yeah,  you should go now to beat the evening rush. "

" Alright. Thanks again for submitting it to me this early! "

" I should be the one for helping me polish this first. " Rie smiled and waved her friend and agent off.

" oh and Rie? " Tilde stopped at the doorway of Rie's apartment.

" Although that old hag editor of yours was excessive, still I think you should include 1 sex scene or a hot make out. "

" You're working for Barlem afterall and as the saying says. "

" Sex always sells."
