The Great Queen Mau Lewat
Jin Country
After cleaning and changing clothes. Gaia laid her body on the bed, while Snowy was already asleep on the inner side of the bed. Gaia looked at the ceiling of her room. He recalled his mother's face and the last message he said. ' I miss you mom, I will definitely live well. ' Her tired eyes slowly got impaled bringing Gaia into her subconscious.
’This...is not a military base. Why am I here.' Gaia saw the chaos in front of her. Horror saw the bodies of soldiers who fell due to bullet shots, some even some of their bodies seemed intact due to bomb attacks. Cold sweat seeped on Gaia's back. Although he had seen similar incidents several times. But it's not something worth looking at. The smell of blood smelled all along Gaia's steps. He hastened his steps toward a place he knew. It was the lab where his father and mother worked, the technology and weapons development lab. Aisle after passage he passed, until finally he arrived at an iron door that looked familiar to him.
The door opened, and Gaia's eyes caught the figure she was looking for. ” Mother .. ” soon she ran to hug her mother. But as the distance got closer and almost touched it. Gaia felt only the empty air she felt. ’ What is this ' . Why can't I touch mom. Gaia tried to touch her mother several times, but still it was just empty air that she caught. ’Is this an illusion?' . He saw the figure of his mother looking straight at the large iron ring behind Gaia, her hands wiping away the tears that occasionally trickled down. Not long after, there was the sound of explosions.one, two, three, and still continuing. Soon Gaia realized that danger was coming.
" lady. Quick left. This place will soon explode.” as hard as Gaia yells, Rosy remains silent, her legs do not budge. ” Bu. Why silent. Quick go." His hand tried to grab his mother's body, but still it was untouched by him.
The room shook with the sound of an explosion approaching. Worry and fear were seen on Gaia's face. His back was feeling the cold sweat that was pouring out. While Rosy who looks calm just closed her eyes, as if ready to accept the arrival of the angel of death.
Boom ! ! !
Along with the sound of an explosion, Gaia saw flames coming from behind Rosy. When her hand tried to reach back to the figure in front of her, Gaia's body moved away as if something was pulling her, "Muuuu ! ! ! ".
Gaia's awake. His forehead was soaked in sweat. 'It turns out a dream. but why is it so real.’
" Gaia are you having nightmares?" Snowy who woke up from her screams looked on with worry.
Gaia nodded slowly." I dreamt of my mother. I dreamt the lab exploded and mom was still there."
Snowy was silent for a moment, he walked into Gaia's lap and lowered his head. " I didn't know it was just a sleeping flower or a sign from your mother. But all I know is, we better pray that your parents are okay." Snowy understood very well how the last military situation he remembered. It is not impossible that explosion
really happened. But what can they do now. Trapped in the past and accepting the possibility of no longer being able to return to the future. If only Snowy, a cat, was aware of this. Of course, so is Gaia.
”Now what are you going to do Gaia?".
Gaia thought for a moment about what steps she would take. "I'll see the situation first. We do not know how society in the present. If we want to survive. We have to be able to adapt. It might be very different to our lives in Britain."
The End of Flashback ,
Gaia's focus was back on the waiter in front of her. Yaoyao was helping him change clothes. Make up equipment and accessories neatly arranged on the dresser made of wood with carvings on each edge. Right in the middle of the table stood a slightly yellowish mirror that made Gaia think, 'Will mirroring with a mirror like this will not damage the eyes.'
After applying a bit of powder and lipstick, Yaoyao took out a golden skewer of floral motifs with five white petals and a pearl of peach color. There are three strands like water droplets under the flowers, making them look more elegant. "Pierced the pretty konde." Gaia looked at the konde skewer attached to her hair.
Yaoyao smiled looking at the reflection of Gaia's face in the mirror, her face implying longing. Yaoyao was well aware that the Miss in front of her right now was not her young miss. It was just that looking at Gaia's current appearance was like she was looking at her young Miss. "This is the young Miss's favorite konde puncture. He wears it almost every day. So when you put it on, it's like I'm looking at a young Miss. I'm sorry Miss Gaia. I didn't mean to equate you with young Miss."
Gaia shook her head, "It's okay. But can I wear it. Aren't these Miss Ziyan's things. "
"Madam says you can wear Miss's stuff." After finishing combing Gaia's hair, Yaoyao led Gaia into the dining room to have breakfast with Madam Mo.
Madam Mo who saw Gaia's appearance, was still fixated. He thought that it was his daughter, before long his consciousness returned. He allowed Gaia to sit next to him.
"Try it. I don't know if you'll like it."
" Thank you, madam." Gaia looked at all the food available in front of her. His eyes caught a dish, 'fried fish'.
"Mrs sorry. Is there any more of these fried fish, I want to give it to Snowy."
Madam Mo who heard Gaia's question was startled and chuckled. He did not expect that his request turned out to be for his cat."Yaoyao. There is still fish in the kitchen. Please give it to snowy. All right, please call Xiaoqi here."
"Good mistress." Yaoyao immediately carried out her nyony's orders.
Madam Mo took a few pieces of meat and placed them on top of Gaia's rice. "eat a lot. You're thinner than your cat Snowy."
Gaia chuckled at the assessment of the woman beside her, not expecting to be compared to her fat cat.
"The name 'snowy' sounds familiar. Does that mean anything?"
Gaia thought for a moment trying to find the right word to make it easier to explain. He knew that at this time, they did not understand a foreign language. Never mind understanding that language, even seeing Europeans most likely has not.
"It's the mistress' foreign language. Because my place is near the sea. So many foreign traders often come to trade. I bought snowy as well from a foreign merchant and said that his name was snowy. He said it meant snow. For why it's called snow, maybe it's because it's as white as snow."
"Your place of residence is close to the sea? does that mean you're from Shu country, Miss Gai huh. "
'Whose country is that. I don't even know what country I'm in now.' Behind Gaia's calm face, she was actually twisting her little brain considering Shu's country. He did not remember about the Shu dynasty. His school in Britain, never taught a lesson about the Chinese state dynasty. He only gained knowledge of the dynasty from the books he read at home.
"Hm. yes, madam. You seem to know a lot about Shu country. Have you ever been there, madam?". Gaia tried to find information from her question.
" no. The distance between Jin and Shu is very far. It was just that in the capital there was an auction that often auctioned off foreign items. And he said it was all from Shu country. Maybe they got it from foreign traders too. "
"Jin State? is this Jin's country mistress?"
"Really.didn't you know you were in Jin country? "
Gaia shook her head." I just remember, when it got away from the soldiers. I tried to keep running and running, through mountains, and valleys. At last it was on the back hill."
'Really too. He must have been very scared back then'. Madam Mo felt pity for Gaia's fate. He remembered how he looked the first time they met. Her clothes were messy and dirty, unable to imagine anything that this young girl had experienced.
