Old Madam Feng
The following day, Lilith was awoken by someone who shook her slightly. She opened her eyes and saw Twyla, Melian, Aideen her handmaidens. They were personally selected by her parents and they have a specific history of their lives.
Twyla, a hybrid of an elf and a demon, are both very different from one another. She was a royal but due to having a demon counterpart as it is the greatest weakness of elves, she was exiled from the Rivendell - realm of elves. She was named an abomination by her people. She was the heir to the elvish throne, now known as desolate throne (when other than the rightful heir, someone else sits on the throne, then the throne is called desolate throne).
Melian and Aideen were sisters and both are very powerful. The place where they come from considered them as a threat and beat the people they care about as they could not harm them. In the end, they both ran away with their elder sister but their sister rat them out as she was jealous of their power. No one knows what happened apart from her mother and father.
These 3 always protected me but in her previous life, I treated them unwell even then they protected them. They even tried to tell me about the schemes of my cousins yet I never paid any attention to that. In the end, they were killed by my cousins Ivy and Crystal as they knew they could not harm me in any way if I am with them, and after they were killed 2nd and 3rd households send some maids which were spies to work in their place. But in this lifetime I will make sure to protect them.
"Young miss, are you fine" I came out of thoughts as Melian spoke worriedly.
Tears filled my eyes as I see 3 of them and embraced them. This shocked them. The young miss who always treated them unfairly, embraced them as if they were going to disappear.
"Miss, are you fine?" asked Twyla anxiously
"I am sorry how I treated you all."
"Miss, you treated us very well. We are blessed to have a miss like you," spoke Twyla as she looked at Melian and Aideen with a confused expression.
"You are saying this to please me but rest assured I will protect you and treat you well. Now, run a bath for me."
The three handmaidens were still rooted in the place as they were surprised by the odd behavior of their miss as she never cared about them and how she suddenly changed her behavior.
"Are you going to run a bath for me or still gonna stand there"
They came out of their thoughts and started preparing the bath for their young miss.
Lilith was still in deep thoughts as she combed her hair. Today she was going to take 1st step in her revenge. 2nd,3rd household, and old madam Feng act very sweet in front of her parents but are wolves in sheep's clothing. Old madam Feng was mistress of her father- Khal Phelan's father - Mage Alastai. Mage Alastai wife was Mage Nesrin. Mage Alastai loved his beloved very much but due to some mysterious circumstances, she died. For many years he wandered around the world with his wife and son but due to his wife's death, he decided to settle at one place with his son. He alone could not take care of his son thus he married a woman that was Old Madam Feng who was trained by a not-so-powerful master as she came from a small family.
There is a division based on power. The most basic is a teacher whose spiritual power is very poor they mostly teach the students from inferior family, then come master who teaches small families. Then there is the Old master who teaches large family there is a big variation in them as it depends upon how much they practice it. These three are the only ones who teach in the family to make a strong base for a child. Mostly, every family has an Old Master. Then comes Elder they are the ones who are quite powerful and decide who is allowed to Wudang sect- The sect from the journey of cultivation begins. Then comes High elders who select disciples from the Wudang sect to teach them personally. Lastly, comes Mages and High mages they are potent. There are many different stages in Mages and High mages. It is scarce that someone catches their eyes.
Old Madam was not very powerful but knew how powerful mages can be thus, took this chance to marry Grandad Alastair. She tried to get the love of Grandad Alastair many times but was unsuccessful even when she born 2 sons for him- Uncle Dracul and Uncle Ehecatl. After the death of Grandad Alastair, Old Madam Feng started to be biased towards 1st household as she always placed the blame of not getting the love of Grandad onto Father. Even after this Father and Mother loved her as they didn't know her true form because they were mostly at the war zone.
Lilith was shaken out of her thoughts by a coughing sound and saw Twyla looking at her in concern.
"Miss, the bath is ready but you can take it after as you didn't look fine." concern can be heard from her voice.
"No. I am fine. Let's go. Lead the way."
Twyla observed her miss. Firstly, she acts peculiar and now, she just remained immersed in her thoughts. Before she could read her miss very easily but now she could not even tell what she is feeling also, with the help of her demon side she can tell something changed in her. Not only in her but she also heard Zephyr, Esmeray, and Asleric that their Miss Liliana was also acting odd. After, few more minutes she led the way to the bath.
Lilith entered the bath and could feel the steam rolling out of the tub. She removed her clothes and entered the tub as a sigh left her mouth as her naked body came in contact with boiling water. As she is a dragon hot water or any hot thing does not have any effect on her. She finally relaxed in the hot bathtub to clear her mind with all her thoughts.
In a chamber similar to Lilith's, Liliana who just had taken a bath looked towards the horizon and thought what fates had said to her. Before dying, fates voice came to her mind which said " You need to train harder to become a general. Your strength would help Liliana in many ways. You would help her to know about her true self but for that, you need to know your true self first. Believe in her and your strength. Together you can achieve anything" To help her sister, she needs to know about her first and strengthen herself. She did not know where to start. But she did know that she is going to that one way or another. Determination filled her eyes.
Lilith had just finished taking a bath. Melian and Aideen brought her most favorite clothing in front of her. As Lilith saw it she internally winced and thought she had a fucking terrible taste in clothing. She ordered her handmaidens to take something different out. The three looked at her in shock.
"Miss, are you sure? This is sent by Miss Ivy to you and you always wear the clothes given by them to you. So, she might take an offense in it." said Melian shocked.
"Are you my handmaiden or her? Also, I am the next dragon queen which is higher than her status of Di daughter (official daughter). So, next time do not take anything my dear cousin send, and do not question me."
"Yes, miss."
" So. brought me something plain and classy, not something flashy."
" Yes miss"
After a few minutes, they came out with a white dress with golden embroidery. It was something between formal and informal. Lilith was satisfied with it and approved. She went behind her dressing curtain to change her clothes. When she came out her handmaidens were shocked and had one thing in mind their miss looks like a true queen. Aideen opened her mouth to speak something but before she could speak a knock sounded on the door.
"Enter"
Ah Cy- the maid of Old Madam Feng entered the room and was also shocked seeing Lilith's appearance but soon she remembered the reason she was here. She looked towards Lilith and saw her looking at her already. She was embarrassingly said " I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. But I was entranced by your beauty." She was expecting Lilith to reward her as she gives rewards when someone praises her beauty but she wasn't expecting Lilith just to look at her coldly.
Lilith raised one eyebrow and spoke coldly " I am pretty much sure that you are not to tell me how beautiful I look. So, kindly tell me what are you here for because I am pretty much sure that I am not as free as you."
Ah Cy looked at her stunned. " Yes Miss, O...Old L...ady summoned you into the court." Ah Cy was nervous by the coldness in the Young Miss eyes.
" No need trip over your own words. It's not like I would kill you." Lilith said while she traced Ah Cy face with her finger which brought sweat on Ah Cy.
"Oh don't need to sweat. I am just joking. Now lead the way, we surely wouldn't like to make Old Madam Feng wait now would we."
" Ahh, yes yes. Follow me miss."
Lilith followed her which made the three handmaidens behind Lilith come out of their shock which was caused by their Miss behavior and start following them.
