I woke the next day so excited ! After freshing up and choosing a suitable outfit , ice blue jeans with cuts on the knee and tank top with the necklace which contained Risa around my neck and a silver ring and bracelet with a watch while my hair was loose .
" Ready ? " Risa asked .
" Ready . " I replied feeling nervous .
Risa started chanting a spell , I think , then something like a portal appeared .
" When you go through this portal , you'll be in year 1644 , 1 January , France . Take a deep breath and go in . " Risa said smiling at me reassuring that it's okay .
" Okay . " I take a deep breath , then go in .
Inside the portal was magical . It was as colourful as a rainbow and I felt like I was flying . God's creations are indeed beautiful .
After a few seconds , the end of the portal was in site . I took another deep breath before getting out of the portal .
Once I got out of the portal , I saw a beautifully decorated hall with a lot of people on the right and left side of it with 2 people in the middle . I think they're King Louis and his spouse Françoise d'Aubigné .
Risa gave me their information in the portal . Judging by the beautifully decorated hall , they must be celebrating something .
" Who are you ?! How did you get in ?! " shouted King Louis .
" You're King Louis , right ? " I asked calmly not scared of him .
" Yes , it's me . Who are you ?! " he answered and repeated his question again .
" Nice to meet you , I'm Daniela from year 2020 . " I replied smiling .
" You think I'll believe that ?! " He shouted again at me clearly not believing me .
" I'm serious and you can see my clothes and I have proof . " I said with serious expression .
" You're clothes is indeed weird , but you can make it . Show your proof . " He said calming down a bit , but still glaring at me .
" Louis XIV , known as Louis the Great or the Sun King , was King of France from 14 May 1643 until his death in 1714 . His reign of 72 years and 110 days is the longest recorded of any monarch of a sovereign country in European history . Louis XIV's France was emblematic of the age of absolutism in Europe . Born September 5 , 1638 and died September 1 , 1715 . Is that enough ? " I explained returning my smile back on my face.
All the people in hall looked shocked .
" Y-Yes . " He said stuttering with his eyes wide .
" I'll stay here in this time for a year and when I leave you'll all forget me and go back to the moment I appeared to resume the original route in history . It's like taking a break . Is that okay with you ? " I asked still smiling .
" Of course . You must be tired from traveling , someone take her to her room . " King Louis ordered a maid standing by .
" No need . Technically , I just woke up and traveling didn't take a lot of time . I'm more interested in what you're all celebrating . " I refused still smiling.
" We're celebrating the new year . " King Louis explained .
" I see . Can I join you ? " I asked without putting my smiling expression off my face .
" Sure . Someone , add a chair for miss ... " King Louis looked at her confused .
" Daniela Jones . " I answered while sitting on the chair the maid prepared .
" Nice to meet you , miss Daniela . " he said finally smiling and letting go of the nervousness .
" Likewise , King Louis . " I said returning the smile .
" Someone , prepare food to welcome our guest . " he said ordering the servant next to him .
While waiting for the food , I felt someone staring at me . Looking forward , I saw a man looking at me .
He was pretty handsome , but not my type and he's looking at me with lustful eyes . I guess my clothes are revealing that it attracted such a guy .
When our eyes met , he winked at me while licking his lips . I just rolled my eyes and looked back at King Louis . Although I felt someone glaring at me , I just ignored it .
I know that it's probably a woman who likes that guy and is jealous .
A few minutes later , the food arrived while the woman was still glaring at me .
" So Daniela , tell me about yourself . " asked King Louis after eating .
" Name : Daniela Jones . Age : 25 . Job : Scientist . " I answered .
" You work ? " he asked shocked .
" Yes , in my time , both women and men are equal . Women can work and men can also cook and do house chores . " I answered smiling .
" I see . And what's a scientoct ? " he asked again trying to pronounce the word right .
" Scientist . In my time , we explain things using science and my job is to research and make medicine . " I answered proud of my job .
" I see . " he said blanking out as if he's is deep thought .
" Your majesty , I want to challenge her . " the woman , who was glaring at me earlier , raised her hand .
" What do you think , miss Daniela ? " King Louis asked looking at me .
" Sure , what kind of challenge ? " I asked looking at the woman .
" My name is Yimo , general Zhang's daughter . The challenge will be 3 rounds . The first round is fighting , the second one is singing and the last one is dancing . " She said while looking proud .
I think she's looking down on me . Time to show what I'm capable of doing .
" What will I get from this ? " I asked smiling .
" I will give him to you . I saw you looking at him and I think you like him , but if I win , you leave him alone . " She explained pointing at the man next to her .
" Me ? Like him ? Are you kidding ? No thank you , he isn't my type . You can have him . " The guy looked quite shocked , " Well , since I'm in a good mood , I won't ask for anything . Let's start . " She led me outside the palace to the wide ground right before the stairs leading upstairs to the hall I was in a moment ago with the people inside it coming to watch .
" Let's start . " She said before standing in an attack stance .
" Wait , let me change first . I can't fight in jeans and tank top . Risa , sports wear and a ponytail in my hair . Also , take off all accessories and except the necklace . " I said while looking at a confused-looking Yimo .
All people were confused too . Until my clothes suddenly changed and they were all shocked .
" Now let's start . " I said before she attacked me . I easily dodged it and the punch's and kicks she threw at me too . It stayed like this for a few minutes before I got bored .
" Boring . This game should end now . " I said before grabbing her clothes and throwing her off the ground pinning her down . I learned fighting while I was in college .
" I win this time . Let's start the next one . " Everyone was shocked . I defeated her easily even though she's a general's daughter .
" You win this time , but I won't let it happen again . " she said gritting her teeth and getting up .
" We'll see . " I said getting back inside with all the people , " Risa , towel . " A towel appeared around my neck and I wiped my face and forehead with it , " Take it back . " the towel disappeared .
Inside everyone was seated back the way they were before .
" You start first . Risa , original clothes and hair . " My clothes changed back to what I wore before .
Then , Yimo started singing . I have to say her voice is unique and she sings well . But unfortunately for her , her opponent is me . I won a karaoke contest at school .
After she finished , people started clapping praising while saying that I won't win this time .
Then , I started singing " To be king again " while closing my eyes .
It had high pitches showing my capabilities and it wasn't a new type of song . It can be sang in the ancient times because it was slow and had a meaning .
After I finished , I opened my eyes to see them all shocked again .
They all started clapping and praising me while Yimo gritted her teeth knowing that I won .
" I won . Next . " I said stretching .
