I woke up to the sound of bamboo rustling and spring water. I felt fresh after absorbing all the memories of the previous owner . As I was dazing someone from outside my bed called me " young miss the bath water is ready " I nodded and told "ok anything else " as I asked I noticed that it was a male voice then I remembered since childhood because of my gender no one was allowed near me the only exception are my family and my guard (Mikey )who has been with us since childhood who also knows my secret as he has signed a life and death contract with me in order to keep the secret safe so he is also responsible for all my daily activities and protecting me as well as taking care of me as a sole helper in order to not make any one suspicious he is also required to dress as a women . He replied "Madam said that master and young master's will be waiting for you to eat breakfast together " " fine you can leave" After saying that I got up the bed and headed to the bathroom yesterday due to the memories I was tired and slept early because of it I didn't take a bath .
After entering the bathroom I saw a simple but elegant room it was consisted of a small indoor swimming pool and there was a large full body mirror opposite door near it was a small rack containing bath powder ,hair itter(perfume), cotton robe, face mask, small rug the spring water in the pool was warm it helped relaxing the body after taking the bath I wore the light green inner robe from the rack and got out . There 'Mikey' was standing holding my outer robe it was mint colored he helped me with the outer robe as it was complicated to wear . After that he helped me dry my hair and styled it with a simple silver hair binder and jade clip after that I painted my lip with rose liquid and left my face bare as this body skin is nice and soft due to early care. After being ready I looked into the mirror I was amazed by the simple beauty standing in the mirror and with how perfectly Mikey did the work "wow Mikey you did a great job" he replied flattering me "this helper didn't do much as it's miss beauty" damn man you know your words. As we were talking a maid came "young miss its time to eat madam and masters are waiting for you " Andreya said "ok lets go ".
As I was walking towards the dinning area I studied the surrounding and it was wow so luxurious but elegant at the same time decorated with lots of natural artefacts . As I was looking around the hall I reached the dinning area I took a deep breathe and entered I saw four people sitting around a small but lengthy table in a cushion father was seated in the head seat mother to his right and elder brother to his left ,second brother was sitting next to elder brother and the seat next to mother was empty while I was looking at them they saw me and everyone had a smile on their face.
My mom said "baby come seat look mommy made your favorite food " I went and sat next to her as I remembered in Andreya memory which was mine seat. As I looked around the table I saw. Egg pancakes, mixed vegetables, steamed meat buns , rice porridge , dim sum ,fish soup and tofu pudding ,dates and lotus cakes with rose and oolong tea .Father asked "Andreya are you felling good does it hurt anywhere" as he asked everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at me me with worry . Looking at their worried face I felt a dull pain in my heart and replied " Dad don't worry everything is fine I don't feel any pain" he smiled " fine fine but tell ok if you feel uneasy" I smiled and nodded as I was talking with dad as my eldest brother passes me a bowl of fish soup" first drink the soup before eating "" ok" as I was drinking the soup my mother and brother's were filling my plate with food as if jealous my dad also got pushed some dates and lotus cake as he was far by everyone smiled at his gesture.
After eating breakfast dad went to do his work at the office eldest brother and second brother went to train their body in the inner practice hall and mom went to the kitchen to discuss the menu for the lunch and I returned to my room as it was snowing outside and inconvenient to roam outside .I decided to carefully observe the room as I didn't pay proper attention in the morning . I saw a huge walk in closet side to the bathroom door opposite to it was a dressing table with a mirror where I did my hair in the morning and in the center was a queen size bed on it's right was a small table with a fruit-vase and dry-fruits near the window.
As I opened the closet there were variety of girl clothes varying from season to season and different youthful colors and as you look deeper you will find male clothes in grey , black , white , blue and mint color .Below those clothes were male jewelry consisting hairpins , rings , pendent ,earrings and bracelets .As you observe those jewels you will notice that each one consists of snake pattern than I noticed that the ring on my finger was a bit different as it was a small blue tiger it didn't match other jewels than I recalled it was a gift given to her by her childhood friend 'Liam' who is also the eldest prince of the country. As the head of 'Rodriguez' family and 'the king Morales' were cousins and the ladies of the both family were friends they used to play together with their siblings. Even though they were friends he didn't know Andreya's gender as it was kept secret from other's except her parents ,grandfather and Mikey . Even her grandmother and brothers didn't know the truth as secret can only be secret when less people know.
After venturing enough inside the closet Andreya started looking outside the window eating dates as it was snowing 'Mikey' handed her a whiter wolf-fur cloak to wear as it was cold near the window. The snow was falling dying the nature white . The rustling of bamboo-leaves with the smell of nature and the view of snow gave a peaceful environment . Don't know how the time went as a maid came to inform that it was lunch time . From Andreya's memory I came to know that the family is used to eating every meal together except when father is visiting the king for work and during other official meeting and functions held in the palace . My grandparents left to venture the world after my father became the head of the family .As the queen mother and grandmother are sisters they have a very deep and close relationship in-spite of their status as a queen and mistress of the one of the strong household they still love and care for each other. The two uncles stay in the different villas as they have their own families to care , they are not allowed to stay in the main villa for long period except functions and only when our grandparents are around as they have visit them pay their respect to the elders and they have their sleeping quarter's allocated in the outer section of the villa for their use for their visit as the inner section is for the head of the family and his family. Although everyone stays in different villa they still regard as a family. suprisingly no one has any hard feelings for one another . They have some problems but not enough to fight with each other . Everyone has their own work allocated although father became the head he didn't take away his brothers rights . During each and every festival everyone comes to main house to celebrate together by exchanging blessings, gifts, money and making good and festive food together with the family despite their status and eating those self made food while laughing and watching different performances and by ending the festival with fireworks and good feelings.
After changing the clothes into warm light navy blue dress with the white wolf fur cloak 'Mikey' helped to make a simple braided hair style by topping up with a crystal blue jade pin and decorative black jade earrings and my blue jade tiger ring . After getting ready I headed towards the dinning room . After reaching the room I saw my mother helping the maids with the dishes I went near near her as also started helping after she saw me working she said ''baby what are you doing '' saying that she took the dishes from my hand ''you are recovering don't do anything come drink this plumb juice while waiting for your dad and brothers '' after that she again started doing her work I watched as the snow was gradually decreasing to fall.
