THE SECOND OF LIFE EMPRESS
TSOLK 03
At night, Flo still sat leaning lamenting her fate in a different dimension. He is still not familiar with everything he experienced, ranging from body shape, skin color, status, and also about the sad story of the empress' body in his place.
Honestly Flo was comfortable with her current body. It feels light and easy when moving.
‘Huh! It was only fitting that they were so obsessed with this skinny body. I find it easy to move my hands without having to spend a big energy.’ Inner Flo while watching closely her tiny arms.
Speaking of status, Flo is still inexhaustible with her married status. Why would she still be retained as an empress if her existence was not considered at all by the entire empire? Why was he not divorced or taken to his parents? Was it because the power of the previous emperor's warrant was so strong that even the emperor did not dare to refute?
And one more thing! Married at 17 years old? What sentence is appropriate for the emperor to have married a child?
Has he been touched by the goddamn emperor or is he still sealed? Hopefully he is still in option 2. Really, for the sake of all the names of the gods in this dimension Flo would not touch a bastard like him.
“Where are the ladies? My stomach has revolted to be given intake.” Said Flo while watching all sides of the room hoping to find one of the ladies who accompanied him earlier.
The room according to Flo version is comfortable, not too big and not too small, plus the calm atmosphere makes it feel comfortable even though it looks seedy.
“What is the Empress looking for?” Ask little lady Wen which surprised Flo.
“Yes God! You surprised me just a little daydress.” Shocked Flo while stroking her chest softly.
Dukkp...
“Please forgive this lowly servant empress. Slave indeed deserves to be punished.” Said Dayang Wen while banging her forehead against the ground floor.
The scar on his forehead is so obvious that it has been hundreds or even thousands of times he did something stupid by hurting himself.
“Hei!! What the hell are you doing? Stop doing stupid things like that. Do you think I'm the statue of the god you worship? Enough already!” Firmly Flo felt uncomfortable with the treatment of Wen's maids which was very excessive.
Dayang Wen also complied and immediately stood up not to forget his tiny hands wiping tears that never stopped.
“I'm hungry! Is there no food?” Ask Flo.
Dayang Wen turned his head to the right while narrowing his eyes. Holy hooch! Dayang Wen just remembered that the empress had suffered a memory injury.
“Pardon this lady consort, but big brother Wan and Big Brother Fuo have not returned from the palace. Is the empress no longer able to resist hunger?” Asked lady Wen sadly.
“What are they doing there tonight? And isn't this still the environment of the emperor's palace isn't it?” Flo asked who thought that the room was still around the palace.
Dayang Wen gulped his saliva roughly at Flo's question.
‘Yes Gods!! I'm afraid if the queen is angry plus the empress is like a different person. Huhoo... Brother hurry back!’ Inner lady-in-waiting Wen riled.
“Hei! My question has not been answered by little girl.” Excited Flo saw the composure of Wen's lady.
“I-it... Actually, Wan's brother and Fou's brother used to work in the emperor's palace to get food. While I am here in charge of accompanying the empress so as not to be lonely.” It was obvious that it was Wen's lady who made Flo even more confused.
The job of a palace lady is to work. So the relationship of those who have to work by getting what food?
Seeing Flo's confusion made Dayang Wen briefly explain.
“The place of the empress is now quite far from the central emperor's palace and there are no palace servants who bring food to the empress according to the orders of His Majesty the emperor. Therefore, big brother Wan and big brother Fou have to work in the palace to earn coins and buy your monthly needs.”
‘That damn emperor really wants to torture empress Ling by not feeding? Huh! That bastard I'll give you a reply.’ Inner Flo smouldering.
It is fitting that the motif of the room seems gloomy and there is no decoration like the empress' room. Hmh! It is not worth being forgiven.
“Little girl, can you tell me what I was like? What is my nature and attitude? Also tell me why I can be in this place!” Flo demands an answer.
A moment when Dayang Wen wanted to make a sound, suddenly there was a knock on the door which distracted the two of them.
It seemed like Wan's lady-in-waiting Fuo had returned from the palace as well. Hope they also bring food for the empress.
“Thank God sister has returned, the empress has been hungry since earlier.” Exclaims the Wen ladyboy while taking an iron tray filled with leaf packs.
Dayang Wan and Dayang Fuo then entered and locked the door again. She saw Empress Ling sitting on the bed.
“Pardon this lady has come late so make the empress resist hunger.” Dayang Wan said and prepared to make an apology.
Seeing the movements of her ladies made Flo act immediately.
“Already! Are you going to do something stupid like that little girl? Huh! Really stupid..”
“---”
Soon, Wen's lady-in-waiting ran to get an iron tray and drinking water for Flo. Upon the return of Dayang Wen who only carried one iron tray and a glass made Flo frown.
Because there are four of them and why is only one tray carried by him?
“Hei! Why is there only one tray?”
Dayang Wan who was serving food for Flo was stopped. Should they eat together? So think of the three ladies.
“This meal is for the empress! It feels very inappropriate if this lowly one joins you.” Exclaimed dayang Fuo while looking down.
Again and again Flo clucked lazily. Are they also on an extreme diet like her best friend Lylia? Their bodies are like living skulls.
By all means necessary, Flo forces them to eat with him. It feels quite strange if he eats alone while those who claim to be his loyal maids just stand while staring at him eat?
Huh!! Flo did not notice that their very thin bodies signified a lack of intake.
“I don't accept any rejection. Dayang Wen!”
“I-iya empress?”
“Soon take another tray and glass and bring it here. I can't see your miserable bodies.” Decree Flo made Wen's ladyboy immediately run to pick up the tray again.
Honestly, he was also very hungry because he had not eaten for 2 days after the torture received by Empress Ling to make him die.
Dayang Wan and lady-in-waiting Fuo were quite moved to see the attention of his lord to these lowly ones. Only Empress Ling was one who watched the servant very intensely.
The three of them began to prepare to sit on the floor while Flo sat leaning on the mattress. The lash scar really made Flo unable to move much.
“You want to sit there?” Flo asked who they were embracing at the same time.
Flo was just clucking lazily with consort Ling's lady-in-waiting, the body he was currently in. Obviously in the room there was a small table and 4 chairs, but they chose to relax?
“Sit on that chair! You guys really like to do stupid things. Are there chairs that choose to sit on the ground floor? Stand up and sit there! At least you guys became smart when with me next.” Flo's assertive doesn't want to be denied.
The maids were increasingly amazed by the figure of Empress Ling who was more domineering than before.
These changes occur suddenly until they are somewhat difficult to adapt. But honestly, they prefer the attitude of the empress now than the previous empress who did not dare to speak.
Immediately they stood up and sat down on a chair near Flo's mattress. Swear to God! They did not regret in the slightest serving their lord known as the weak, slow, foolish, and useless empress.
They were so respectful towards Empress Ling and only she treated the lowly ladies-in-waiting like they were like family.
‘The Queen is so generous!’
They also began to eat with wisdom. Flo is actually not picky when it comes to food, it's just that the food he eats today is far from the word decent food.
Remind Flo to make food according to her tongue. The taste of the food here is so bad. If it were not for being hungry and appreciating the hard work of her maids, she would not have eaten it.
“Sok the day I was invited to the trial isn't it? Would you like to accompany me to meet the emperor?” Flo asked between her meals.
Flo almost forgot to be invited by the emperor. Honestly, he was curious about the face of the goddamn emperor. I don't know how handsome he is that Empress Ling loves a demon like him so much and is even willing to be tortured.
“Without the empress asking, we will accompany you to the Emperor. We will try our best to protect you.” Reply to dayang Fuo was full of confidence and was taken in by everyone.
Flo felt so impatient waiting for dawn to come. See, someday he will repay all their arbitrary treatment of him. And don't forget the cunning servant figures who are so eager to depose him.
‘Although I was young, but I knew how to behave. Huh! Living in a world like this reminds me of the colossal drama that Lylia.’ often watches Inner Flo began to think of a strategy to face them all tomorrow.
“Yes God! Somehow was Grandma there when she found out I wasn't home? He must be worried... Hope grandma is okay there.” Flo's worried about her grandmother.
The maids who saw Flo's worry finally ventured to ask.
“Does anyone bother the empress' mind?”
“What's wrong, it's just that I'm quite tired and want to rest. You guys just finish the food, I'll sleep and charge to face the foxes tomorrow.” Flo said and slowly laid down her body.
Dayang Wen also helped Flo to lie down and put a thin blanket to reduce the cold.
‘May the Gods always protect you, empress.’ Inner lady Wen.
