Still Loved Even In The New World
CHAPTER 153: Transformation.
After yesterday I got the strange bottle from the cloaked woman, today I intend to use what was stored in the bottle according to the instructions she gave.
I allowed the three servants of mine to prepare a large bath filled with boiling water. Boiling water is not just a figurative word, but rather water that actually boils with hot steam.
"Your Majesty, a, are you sure you want to get into this hot water?."
One of the servants asked me with great doubt in his words. If I'm honest, I doubt I would do that. But, when I thought of the power to take revenge, I braced myself to dare to try it. After all, after I thought about it, why would that person lie to me. If he wants to kill me, then he can kill me very easily.
Zhang Zilin:"Yes, I'm sure."
After I gave an affirmation to the servants, two of them moved and took off every single strand of my clothes. I walked closer to the furnace above which was a bathtub filled with hot water.
One waiter brought the glass bottle and poured it into the boiling water. As soon as the red liquid got into the water, it instantly turned as red as blood. However, that blood red water had a very fragrant aroma like a flower-scented perfume. Every time I inhale the aroma, my body feels very comfortable and wants to soak in it immediately.
The more I got closer to the bathtub, the more I felt the heat of the fire and the boiling water hitting my skin. From a few feet away, I stopped and put the paper on my chest.
The waiter swiftly picked up a footing made of wood to help me climb up to the top of the bathtub filled with boiling water. Looking at the turbulent red water with the small bubbles of water vapor, I became a little hesitant.
No, I can't hesitate here. I braced myself and put my left foot in the bath. Immediately, intense aches and pains struck me, subconsciously surprising me and screaming in pain.
To that surprise, my right leg accidentally slipped and dropped my entire body into the boiling water.
"Your Majesty....!!!."
Heart-piercing pain and heat instantly burst into my mind. The servants shouted frantically, but I had no more strength to care about their panicked cries. Right now my mind is becoming very messed up because of the immense pain I feel.
I could feel every layer of my skin starting to peel and ripen because of the boiling water that was so hot. A very painful pain gripped my head tightly and seemed to swallow my consciousness little by little.
Over time, my consciousness began to disperse and make me fall into the darkness...
(Zhu Cai).
Today Her Majesty the empress made a very strange request by asking us to prepare a bathtub filled with boiling water. I don't know what the water will be used for, but we have to boil it in the silver palace of the empress's residence, and hide it from anyone.
Only the three of us are allowed to enter the palace to help His Majesty. The three of us prepared a bathtub filled with boiling water without knowing what it would be used for.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty wanted to use that boiling water to soak. Suddenly, something like that surprised me. Is His Majesty starting to lose his mind or something...
I want to convince His Majesty not to do so, but His Majesty still continues to be adamant about his decision. His Majesty handed Zhu'er a strange glass bottle filled with red liquid and ordered Zhu'er to pour the liquid inside the bottle into the bathtub of boiling water.
After the liquid in the bottle made the boiling water turn blood red, the bathtub began to emit a floral fragrance that smelled like perfume. Smelling the scent from the direction of the bathtub, there was a kind of comfortable and refreshing feeling, even to the point of making me accidentally want to step towards the bathtub.
My sanity returned after I saw His Majesty's back. I saw that His Majesty stepped up and advanced towards the bathtub.
After we helped His Majesty get into the bathtub, His Majesty put his left foot into the tub.
Agh...!.
His Majesty was suddenly startled and shouted and subconsciously I saw His Majesty fall into a hot tub. His Majesty's skin began to redden and eventually blackened and chipped because it was submerged by hot water.
Zhu'er:"Hurry, help Your Majesty...!."
Zhu Mei:"Cai Cai, let's help lift His Majesty out of the tub...!."
The three of us were very panicked to see the sight. We wanted to help His Majesty immediately, but suddenly when we wanted to touch His Majesty, a paper that His Majesty had placed on his chest lit up.
As soon as the paper lit up, there was a kind of shockwave that pushed us away from His Majesty. My chest felt like it had just been hit by a soldier's hand, very tight and painful. The three of us tried to get up and finally saw His Highness who was shouting and moving irregularly with a blistering and terrifying body in the boiling water.
"Your Majesty...!."
"No...!"
Unknowingly, the three of us cried and wanted to stand up to help His Majesty again, but we realized that the surroundings of the bathtub had been blocked by some kind of transparent yellow protective barrier that prevented anyone from passing through.
I kept trying to hit the barrier that was blocking us, but it was all in vain. This barrier is very sturdy and the strength of the three of us will not be able to shake it.
In the end we could only call and shout looking at His Majesty's increasingly weakened state and finally lose his consciousness.
There was a kind of strange streaks of light that spread out from the direction of the bathtub to the rest of the room. But there was no time for me to notice all that.
I saw that His Majesty's body had stopped moving and was just lying still in the bathtub. The skin, flesh, and blood all over His Majesty's body had already been damaged and blistered from the hot water.
Looking at such a terrifying sight, I felt very, very sad. Few people would value slaves, let alone raise a lowly slave from a defeated country to become his personal servant.
The three of us were originally only a few girls from a country that had lost the war and were sold as slaves, but His Majesty took us and made the three of us his servants. The three of us have vowed to continue serving His Majesty and strive to help His Majesty. However, what happened to His Majesty at the moment we are completely powerless to help him.
I could only sit on the floor and bow my head, completely unable to see His Majesty's current condition.
Zhu Mei:"Se.. Something happened..."
With a sobbing voice, Zhu Mei said something. As I looked towards him, I saw that he was pointing towards His Majesty. I also looked in that direction, and I saw a very surprising thing.
The boiling red water moved towards His Majesty, forming like fine red threads and penetrating into His Majesty's body through his skinless flesh. Slowly, the skin on His Majesty's body began to grow back, but it would soon blister and peel off from the flesh.
Such shocking things continuously repeated for quite some time. The three of us just looked at such a scene in surprise and wonder. Such a strange and amazing occurrence, this was the first time I had seen.
Zhu'er:"Quick and close the door. Don't let anyone enter the room."
Zhu Mei and I nodded and went to close the door. After we made sure that no one would be able to barge in, we continued to stand on the edge of the barrier to witness His Majesty's recovery.
After the death and rebirth of His Majesty's skin tissue, finally the process ended and His Majesty's terrifying body gradually began to recover the damaged body tissue bit by bit.
His entire body began to grow skin to replace the old skin. A short while later, His Majesty's body had returned as before. A beautiful, slender body with every indentation and protrusion is in the right place, lined by watery skin that looks very soft and gelatinous, white, lying on the water without any care.
Hair that was originally dark brown, has now fallen out and grown back into hair that has a bright reddish-brown color and smooth like silk. Added with a few long strands of white hair growing on the forehead, adds a strange kind of charm. Although the hair is irregular and tangled because of the water, but the person who sees it will know that the hair is very soft.
After the entire body was restored, His Majesty slowly began to open his eyes. In the boiling water, His Majesty got up and looked around with a color of confusion in his eyes. He looked at the condition of his body in surprise and came down from the bathtub.
With the water dripping down following the curves of his body, His Majesty gave off a kind of beauty charm that was very hard to ignore.
Her beautiful face was covered by thin water grains and had smooth and white skin, then decorated with sharp and slender eyebrows like the leaves of a willow tree, long, plump eyelashes, and amber-red pupils, give perfection to a beauty that is difficult to compare.
Each step taken by His Majesty made the slender waist slightly twist like a snake waist and look very graceful.
Honestly, even though we are both women, I cannot help but swallow when I see His Majesty. His eyes were sharp and soft like those of a fox that would seduce anyone who saw him.
"It's beautiful."
Zhang Zilin:"What are you guys doing. Let's help me change my clothes."
Zhu Cai:"Oh?. ah... B, well Your Majesty."
I quickly regained my senses and led Zhu'er and Zhu Mei to choose and change His Majesty's clothes.
We selected a series of beautiful white graded orange hanfu with gold embroidery in several parts. When I touched His Majesty's skin and hair to be tidied and dried from the water, I could feel a very soft and smooth sensation in my palm. If I could, I wouldn't even want to take my hand off His Majesty, yet it would be so disrespectful, so I tried hard to focus on my own work.
After all the clothes and accessories were finished, I began to decorate and draw an orange lotus-shaped bindi on His Majesty's forehead, adding a subtle and wise atmosphere to him.
I thought of putting fragrance on His Majesty's body, but as I was about to put it on, I realized that His Majesty's body had emitted a much better fragrant scent than this fragrance, so I canceled my intention and let it be what it is.
Zhu'er:"This is really a work of art...!"
Zhu Mei:"You're right. It's so beautiful."
I heard a cry from Zhu'er and Zhu Mei behind me. I retreated and watched His Majesty close my eyes. I have to admit that this is really an example of a woman who would tear down a city and a country.
His Majesty's long eyelashes slowly trembled and opened. Those amber eyes that were full of charm and tender seemed to exude some kind of temptation for the person who was looking at her.
His Majesty's gaze stared at the reflection of his reflected self from the huge bronze mirror in front of him. Although the shadow on the bronze mirror was a bit hazy, but it did not hinder the beautiful appearance of His Majesty at all.
His Majesty touched his face with his slender fingers adorned with pearly white long nails.
Zhang Zilin:"Am I.. As good as this?."
His Majesty asked us in a stunned voice. Indeed, when compared to His Highness back then, it was truly a huge difference.
Zhu Cai:"Your Majesty has been beautiful for a long time, but today, Your Majesty seems very extraordinary."
Zhang Zilin:"Hahaha... You three are good at making me happy."
His Majesty laughed in a very gentle and bewitching voice. Unfair, is there such a woman in the world?.
Zhu Mei:"Your Majesty, do you want to show it to him?."
Zhu Mei asked doubtfully. 'He' by which he was referring was His Imperial Majesty. It does sound very disrespectful, but all of us as the personal servants of Her Majesty the empress from the very beginning, we knew of her hatred for His Majesty the emperor. So, we have absolutely no good feelings for that emperor.
Zhang Zilin:"No. I want to lock myself in the silver palace. If anyone wants to see me, whoever it is, tell him that I can't see him."
"We understand, Your Majesty."
.....
According to the appointed time, today is the time for the people of the kingdom who defeated us to arrive. The three of us helped His Majesty to prepare and welcome the ruler.
Because of that as well, His Majesty became very excited today. His face always hung with a warm smile.
Zhu Cai:"Zhu Mei, get the Phoenix hairpin for Your Majesty!."
Zhu Mei:"Ok."
This preparation took quite a long time because His Majesty wanted to perform at his best when meeting those people.
Today, His Majesty wears a simple orange and yellow hanfu. Although the design is relatively simple, it is precisely the simple clothes that are able to show the figure of His Majesty is very charming.
Her beautiful figure and thin waist, making her every move contain a kind of charm that is difficult to resist by anyone.
Zhang Zilin:"Is everything finished?."
Zhu Cai:"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhang Zilin:"Today, Your Majesty will arrive, so make sure you also perform well before him."
"We understand, Your Majesty."
The three of us followed His Majesty to arrive at the palace courtyard, where everyone would welcome His Highness the new ruler of this empire. Along the way, I could see that the eyes of the people looking at Her Majesty the empress became extremely hot and shocked.
The empress who originally looked like a gentle woman, was currently more like a gentle elf with high spirits in her eyes. It might make them feel their own sensation?!.
As soon as he arrived at the vast palace courtyard, where everyone had gathered, all eyes suddenly turned towards us. Even the emperor's eyes became extremely hot upon seeing the empress.
But alas, the emperor's hope would be in vain. It was because I saw His Majesty stopping a considerable distance away from the emperor. Before anyone could say anything, we heard a distant sound.
Above the sky, I saw many large flying objects flying towards us. The closer, the flying objects became clearer. There were thousands of small flying boats with thin wings, and behind them was a large white airship accompanied by seven large black airships.
The ships were suspended above the palace. From this position, I realized how small we were under terrifying strength.
A large door opened from the bottom of the white ship, showing its inside filled with golden light.
From inside the ship, a soft and solemn music was played to be with everyone.
Hundreds of beautiful women with golden hair and wings came out from the ship while holding beautiful spears of light, as if the door to the kingdom of the gods had opened.
The winged woman formed two rows and stopped at the palace courtyard, forming a path in the middle of their ranks. Then, from inside the ship appeared a tall woman with black armor and eyes that were covered with cloth was leading a shining blue-armored warrior.
This series of actions took place very solemnly and admirably. From this alone, I could see a huge difference between the two armies.
After the knight and winged lady took place, I looked back at the white ship, but nothing happened. Only the melodious and beautiful strains of music flow gently like a stream in the dry season, providing a cool and comfortable feeling.
From behind the light, came a little girl with silver hair as well as extremely beautiful silver wings, hovering slowly and landing on the ground. There was a gleam of golden lightning and white flames on the wings that illuminated the silvery haired girl's delicate face.
I saw that Her Majesty the empress is a very beautiful woman. But, the little girl had a kind of grand and graceful charm like the temperament of a ruler over the world.
This... He is the new ruler of this empire...
Marvellously...
