It was true what Jack said, even though it felt strange but Leah enjoyed it.
She with three maids bathed her in a large pool, a water reservoir with a mixture of milk and rose petals.
I've seen how queens and royal princesses in movies and dramas, I didn't expect to feel this way. Her mind muttered in amazement.
She took off the cloth covering her body before descending the pool steps with a heart.
The three maids helped Leah scrub her body, wash her hair. She also got massages on her shoulders.
She enjoyed the service at this old castle.
In her life, She had never experienced this wonderful service.
"Miss, you have strong muscles, your body is so healthy and full of energy." Said a maid beside Leah's left.
The girl turned to the base of her left arm, She smiled a little.
Of course, She has strong arms, she works day and night, lifting heavy boxes in Belen's warehouse, she can do a lot of things.
"The lady in the kingdom is very gentle and has a sweet mouth, but you look so strong, you look different from the royal princess." The other maid replied. "I mean, it's not that you don't look gentle and graceful, but you also look so strong and friendly .." she corrected her sentence, afraid to offend Leah.
As servants, they understood the nature of the inhabitants of the white kingdom who were known to be rude and arrogant.
Leah smiled back, her fingers fiddling with the water in the pool, she stretched her legs, enjoying the service that made her want to fall asleep in the middle of this bath session.
"Thank you, you guys make me very comfortable .." replied Leah, she took a deep breath, enjoying the foreign bath ritual that carried her away.
Exiting the bathing pool, Leah followed by three maids into a room. A luxurious room with a king-size bed, complete with a dressing table, thick carpet. Just like the kingdom of an old story.
She sat on a wooden chair with three drying female servants, comb her hair carefully.
A fancy dress was waiting for Leah.
She was amazed once again. Is she going to wear a dress with lots of layers and lace? This was exactly like a Disney princess, she wanted to laugh but tried to hold back.
She was a tomboy, never comfortable wearing layers and a fluffy gown like this.
"This dress is so pretty." Praise Leah. "But, do you have a simple dress?" The plea.
One of the servants shook her head. "Sorry miss, this is one of the best dresses here. You will attend a dinner banquet with the head of the border army, You fit this dress. "The maid explained with her face down and her hands caught in front of her body, she was very polite.
"Dinner?" Leah asked in surprise.
"Yes, miss. Sir would like to invite you and Mr. Jack to have dinner together. He gathered some talented soldiers, you will have important talks tonight."
Leah knit her brows, she didn't hear this.
"Miss is one of the most awaited women in the kingdom. It is an honor to serve and meet you here."
"Oh, yes?" Leah asked in disbelief. Was her position that important in this kingdom? She is just an ordinary girl in the human world.
The Maids wore basic clothes on Leah's body. The girl only needed to stretch out her hand, the female servants dexterously dressed Leah's body.
"Miss, please rest, later I will come again. Press the bell if you need something." Said the maid after putting on the basic clothes on Leah's body.
"So, I don't have to wear that dress?" Leah asked in confusion, pointing at the dress attached to the statue.
"You will wear the dress when the time comes." The maid replied as she closed the two doors of Leah's room.
Leah rolled her eyes, stared at the whole room.
She smiled a little.
As she stared at the large window beyond, her eyes were shocked. Someone has arrived and we're sitting on the open window sills.
"Wow, I smell flowers on your body. Do you shower with flower petals that make your body feel sticky?" Jack asked, his eyes brushing against Leah's new look.
Leah sniffed her body. "Isn't this amazing Jack? I love the scent of roses on my body, and look ..." she swirled around in a plain white dress, it was a basic comfortable dress.
"Why, you look like a spirit roaming the Asian continent in such long white clothes! "Jack hissed sarcastically.
Leah hit Jack on the shoulder. "I like these clothes. I don't think they have high heels here. Ah, I can wear dresses and flat shoes, I feel like a princess!" She turned to round again with both hands stretched free. Makes Jack's lips a little smile.
"I don't even like boots, silk shirts, I like wool coats and leather shoes in the human world .." Jack hissed.
"Have you heard of dinner?" Asked Jack then.
Leah nodded, she pointed to the dress in the corner of the room. "Did you see that dress? I'll wear that dress at dinner tonight. "
Jack turned his head briefly, staring at the predominantly yellow dress, he gave a small sneer. "Tonight you put on a dress, tomorrow you will wear your armor. "
"Hah!" Leah's voice was surprised to hear Jack's words. "Armor?" Asked Leah confused.
"Tomorrow they will watch you play the sword, so be prepared!" Asked Jack with his face staring out the window, the man folds his arms across his chest. One leg dangled, while the other bent against the window sill.
He arched his eyebrows in confusion, two guards with large and muscular bodies led someone into the castle gates. Jack climbed off the window sill, jumping into Leah's room.
"What is wrong?" Leah asked, surprised to see Jack's behavior that looked strange.
"Leah, haven't my eyes seen the wrong way?" He asked with a face like a fool.
"What is wrong!" Leah too curious approached the window where Jack had entered. She looked towards the front there.
Leah saw the two castle guards, the two large, creepy-faced figures carrying someone with them.
Leah couldn't make out who was carrying Gus's hands tied.
"Who is he? Why did those two creepy guards take him away? "Leah asked, confused.
Jack stared at Leah's confused face for a moment.
"Leah, you don't know who he is?" Jack asked with a pale face.
Leah shook her head, she couldn't see the man who was being held captive, her eyes couldn't see that far, unlike Jack who could even read other people's minds.
"Put on your robe!" Jack asked to pick up the robe on the manikin and throw it at Leah.
"Hurry, follow me!" He ordered as he pulled the door to Leah's room.
Leah followed Jack's steps with an astonished face. What the heck is this.
Jack accelerated his pace.
No way, who is he. Why is he here! Jack's mind was pounding with curiosity.
