CONCUBINE TACTICS NIKA
Tea Party
...**************...
It had been several days since Nimonia's first commandment to the concubines saluted her every morning. Although Nika always learns magic every night, because the book is open only at night, because Lien and Henza must always try hard to wake Nika every morning.
Every morning, Lien's screaming voice wakes Nika up, if Lien doesn't shout, then Nika won't wake up. Thank you also for Henza who always rubbed Nika's body, when she overslept when soaking.
Nika was always almost late, thank goodness she was never really late. Want how else, Nika has also tried hard to master water magic, a gift from the fairy. Only night time Nika's chance to practice.
Not in vain did wake up in the middle of the night and practice until sleepy, because Nika's ability had developed, she was already able to gather magic energy in her heart within 15 minutes, but it still takes half an hour to drain some of it to his head, must be careful or Nika's head will break.
Nika still had to train even more, because the old book said, a master should be able to collect magic energy at one point, in just three seconds. Because of that Nika must try harder, because she is still far from the word master. He's still a low-level beginner.
But instead of giving up or feeling weak, Nika instead felt very excited when she learned about magic. Maybe magic is foreign to Nika all this time, making her interested and not bored to keep learning about new things that she thinks are amazing.
On this day, Nika also managed to carry out the task without being late, after finishing greeting Nimonia, Nika went to the lakeside tree, the tree she usually visited.
Nika's days lately felt the same, her activities at night learned magic, the morning gave greetings, and after giving greetings, rest and sleep on the tree by the lake, the, when it was noon Nika returned and learned about the manners of this world.
And today was still the same, there was still the knight who slept also by the lake in the tree next to Nika. Nika believes that that person is the same knight that Nika met first in this place as well. Although it was to this day, the knight did not even remove his mask or robe when he rested.
Never mind, just ignore him, at most half an hour away too, as usual.
Nika chose to ignore the knight, because like the previous days, the knight was always here when Nika was here, and she left half an hour later. Maybe his break is over and he should get back to work.
Nika ignored the knight as usual, Nika closed her eyes while imagining her training last night.
My journey is still a long way off, I still need 15 minutes for a collection of energy at one point, while a master needs 3, seconds, far away.
...*************...
Today was a very busy day in the flower palace, as today was a tea party for the Emperor's concubines, which was usually held every month.
Unlike last month, this month in charge of providing tea parties is the leader of the Nymonian concubines. Usually before this the concubines of Desha, Vanesha, and Irana, the three of them took turns. But it seems that from today onwards, only the concubines of Nimonia will organize a tea party for the Emperor's concubines, as her status is now the leader of the concubines.
Nika was sitting in the middle, somehow this happened, but Nika got a sitting position among the important people.
Nika sat between, Nimonia, Consort Desha, Vanesha and also Irana, indeed a table filled with five people, it seems that Nika is one of the lucky people who came into the circle of these main actors.
Many whispers do not like it, and loud praise is aimed at Nimonia. Yes, some try to curry favor with Nimonia, and some try to steal it from the whisper in order to keep the heart strong enough to be on the side, Desha, Vanesha or even Irana. Generally those who speak ill of Nimonia, are the ones who are in a group of three high concubines.
"According to Consort Vinaika, how's the tea party this month?" Nimonia looked at Nika with a charismatic smile, her eyes seeming to force Nika to say this tea party is much better than last year.
Nika was silent, either Nimonia had been watching him all this time and considered him a threat, hence Nika was in this circle. Or because Nika was in this circle accidentally, making Nimonia want to use Nika to drop the pride of three high concubines through her opinion of this month's tea party. Either way, both are not good for Nika.
Whatever answer he gave out, it was the same as fighting for the empress' power.
"Every month, I always see a new, refreshing atmosphere." Nika answered him with a sweet smile.
Really am!
After answering that question, Nika was unable to return to her comfortable and quiet life.
Goodbye my comfortable life, I'm leaving.
If Nika does not know for sure, Vinaika's memory of the tea party before, because Nika herself just came to the tea party this month, she can only give such a response. If it were any further, it could be dangerous for him. It seemed that the answer was enough to satisfy all parties.
Instead of being angry or offended, Nimonia pulled a slanted smile, she looked at Nika like something, while Nika tried to stay calm, and kept her facial expression to look ordinary, not depressed at all. Although he knew, there had been a lot of cold wind that hit his face since earlier, there had been a lot of thorns in the form of gazes that he had received since he sat in this circle of great people.
"You are right concubine Vinaika, every month there is always a new atmosphere. Ah, my tea's up. Will concubine Desha pour it for me? Somehow I feel the tea will be much more delicious if you pour it?" Nimonia turned, from Concubine Vinaika, towards the silent, calm-looking concubine Desha, and enjoyed her tea party with all the rioting whispers of black shadows around her.
