9 Ch 9. Anticipated Meeting

I walked into my room. Whole room lit with the white bright light. I looked at chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The walls of the room had designer wallpapers. A large white King size bed with lamps stands on both side lay in the corner of the room. A cream color sofa with additional pink color chair lay in the center of the room. I had seen many palaces as a confidant of the King. But this castle and its room were really amazing. The mysterious and artistic style of this palace added it to be the most beautiful place i have been in my whole life.

I was tired after a long journey and my body was craving for rest after the troubles. But I am a warrior and hardships are a sweet way of life, I love it and when duty was all in my mind, I could not rest. I went to the left side and found a bathroom. To my surprise it was huge. A very large infinity tub was filled with milk and water with rose petals. I stripped and jumped into the tub. I was surprised the water was warm the way I liked. I felt my tense muscles relaxed and I didn't realise I slept in the tub.

I was interrupted from my slumber by a knock on my door. I opened my eyes and then realisation came to me that I am at the hidden castle. I dried myself and came out of the bathroom. I was surprised to find a new set of warrior clothes on the bed.

Again I heard the knock, I opened the door and I saw a maid brought tray of food. She kept it at the table and bowed to me and left without a word. I looked at the food and my mouth watered at the sight.

I sat down and looked at bowl of hot and sour soup, a bacon wrapped steak, Lamb chops and fairy red wine. I ate to my fill and food was so tasty that I could say it was nothing I ever tasted. After I was done I came to a large window on the right side for the cool breeze and a scenic view.

I stared at the forest in the moonlight and it looked so heavenly and so peaceful. But looks are always deceiving. I knew how much ferocity lies there since I had travelled that path. I didn't know how long I stared.

Finally I felt might be the Queen will meet me in the morning. I laid on my bed and cocooned myself in the warm blankets thinking about who the person I would meet as the sleep overtook me.
