"Okay then," she agreed, cause she wasn't in the mood to argue about anything.
" And be fast!" Belle added with her high voice and stomped off from Lexa's room, after she finished her words.
Well, it won't be forever, Lexa sighed and thought to herself.
The young teen stepped back into her room and proceeded to the washroom, wanting to wash her face and clean her mouth, before she started doing any work.
Few minutes later, she was all done and headed to Belle's room.
On her way to Belle's room, she saw how the servants were busy attending to their duties, and even though they all also saw her, nobody said anything. She didn't mind too and continued heading to her destination.
Once Lexa got there and opened the door, her jaw dropped, and she whistled. She stood akimbo and stared unbelievably at Belle's room.
Lexa was stunned to find the princess room all messed up, and she almost cursed Belle inwardly. The young teen even wondered, if Belle purposely disarranged her room just to stress her.
This is insane! She screamed in her head and thought about when she cleaned Belle's room yesterday.
She stood and stared at the room for a while, before she decided to do what she was supposed to do. There was no point in arguing about this with Belle, she thought and pushed her anger away for now.

The Alpha and the Luna was with their daughter at the lounge. The trio were all relaxing and sipping a chill fruit drink.
" Mum, Dad, is there something you want to discuss with me?" Belle questioned calmly, gently sipping her drink and closing her eyes to savour the amazing flavor of the drink.
Scott turned his face to his daughter's side and placed his drink on a small stool beside him.
" Yes, we have something important to tell you."
" What's that?"
Belle looked at both of her parents and wondered what they wanted to say. Her face became full of curiosity, but she didn't stop sipping her chill drink.
" Sweetie, we have a business trip to embark on for about a month or two at the city, so we won't be available for a while, but the Beta is going to take care of the pack and you of course, while we are gone," Emilia answered Belle softly, but she could see some faint lines on Belle's forehead, signifying her daughter didn't liked what she just said.
" So don't worry my dear, Arnold is also here, and I trust him to protect you. We will try not to stay too long okay?"
Scott added to Emilia's words, when he also noticed Belle's frowning face.
It was an impromptu decision, as his business needed his attention, and he couldn't trust anyone on it. It was better to take care of his property by himself.
Belle shook her head, disagreeing with what her parents said.
" What about me? I can't be alone here, and you know my eighteen birthday is approaching soon. You guys can't leave me here, I want to go with you. I even missed my city friends."
The Princess couldn't stand the thought of being alone in the pack without her parents. It freaked her out, and that was why she disagreed with her parents decision.
Emilia sighed and turned to look at Scott, both of their eyes met, but their thoughts were only known to them.
" Belle, you should know this is important, and we can't afford to ignore it," Scott tried to explain the situation to his daughter, hoping for her to understand them.
Emilia stood up and went over to Belle's side, holding her hands together and gazing tenderly at her daughter, " It's for the best dear. Also, you can't leave the pack now, cause you still have to mingle with the other werewolves. You need to get to know more about this pack, so it would be easy for you to rule it with Arnold in the future."
Belle's face flushed, immediately she heard Arnold's name, and her mind raced to the striking Alpha Prince. The thought of ruling with him made her shivered lightly in anticipation, and it gave her a sweet feeling under her tommy.
The Alpha and the Luna noticed Belle's expression, and they winked at each other, understanding the reason for Belle's red face.
" Look at the lover girl," Emilia teased her daughter and gave Belle a toothy grin.
Belle smiled and tucked her hair behind her left ear.
" Don't worry Belle, we won't take long. Am sure you can cope and do well without us. So, am trusting you to behave well."
Scott stood up while smiling at Belle, and he moved to pat Belle's shoulder.
Belle looked up at her father and nodded, " Don't worry father."
" Thank you my dear and when we are back, you will celebrate your eighteen birthday at the city," Emilia embraced Belle and whispered to the latter's left ear.
Belle beamed, and her eyes shone brightly, " Thank you mum and dad!"
She was happy to hear that and couldn't wait for that day to come.

Lexa was finally done cleaning Belle's room, and it looked more pleasant now. She dusted herself and clapped her palms together, to get some dust away from them.
Then, she scanned the whole room with her eyes, nodding pleasingly. Perfect! She thought and gave a thumb up to no one in particular.
The only thing remaining was to take away some brown boxes in Belle's room, which contained nothing but unwanted stuffs.
The young girl bent down to carry the boxes, and she wouldn't deny it was kind of heavy, and it made her shook a little. Lexa tried to balance herself and walked out of the room with steady steps.
Arnold was bored and decided to look for Belle, thus he headed to Belle's room. Though, he knew he wasn't supposed to do that, but he didn't care and just wanted to see Belle, even talk with her.
As he was close to Belle's room, he saw the room door opened, and he halted in his steps. Wanting to see if it was Belle, but he was wrong and, he frowned a bit.
Lexa gently opened the door and stepped outside of Belle's room, making sure the boxes doesn't fall down. But just as she was about to close the door, she suddenly lost her balance and closed her eyes, awaiting the incoming pain she was going to feel now.
Arnold squinted his eyes as he saw someone coming out of Belle's room. It wasn't Belle, as he recognized her but on a closer look, the person he was looking at resembled someone familiar.
Then, he gasped, as the person's face was now clear to him.
