Anna took a while to get to the infirmary, she had to prepare everything the queen had asked for first. She had already prepared the bath, prepared clean clothes and dinner was already being prepared.
She was relieved that her boss had returned home safely, but she was still worried and thinking that the princess had been hurt.
She walked quickly so she could see Liu Wei again and the scene she found was two women talking and laughing.
Liu Wei excitedly talked about the day she broke her arm, when she was only 10 years old, and spoke proudly that she didn't shed even a tear... That scene in Anna's eyes was sweet and comforting, maybe her princess finally found it someone who understood her... She sighed happily.
Anna took a few steps forward as if humbly reporting herself to work. Liu Wei and the queen kept talking animatedly and included her in the conversation without any reservations.
"... When I broke my arm, everyone cried and wondered what they had done to receive such punishment from the heavens... My sister fed me in my mouth for almost a whole month."
Liu Wei was not the direct heir to the throne, but she was the little princess of the house and the beloved daughter of the family. Even her older sister pampered her like a little child who owned the world.
The young omega would not reign in the country for a small detail because even her personality was strong and dominant... Maybe fate wanted her with Wang Zheng from the beginning.
Anna listened as she chuckled subtly, Martana's royal family relationship was actually pretty good. "The future queen always does what the lady wants."
"Well, maybe I'm just a really nice princess... Is there a bathroom here?"
Liu Wei spoke addressing the queen and she immediately said yes. "Yeah… Anna calls the nurse to help her get her to the bathroom. They're probably talking outside."
Anna came out through the small door that led to the garden and the two nurses were talking freely, after the queen had released them. They just waited for Liu Wei to return to her room so they could go home.
The nurse in charge of the night shift promptly appeared and began helping Liu Wei into a wheelchair.
The palace had numerous employees and could never have any wing completely alone, so the employees worked on a shift system.
Anna and the queen watched carefully as Liu Wei was carried to the bathroom until they were completely alone.
The queen let out a loud sigh. "Anna... Liu Wei went to a slightly dangerous place today, avoid leaving her alone again until she gets better..."
Of course, she knew there was no way Anna could control Liu Wei, but she couldn't help but worry about the princess.
Anna obediently nodded. "Yes, Your Majesty."
"I don't know what she's planning, but I'll ask my secretary to send the coordinates of where she went today. The main road, although longer, is safer and it's okay to ask the guards to accompany her. "
Wang Zheng had a serious and tired expression most of the time, but whenever Liu Wei was around she seemed lighter.
There was never any hint of carelessness in the queen's image, but tiredness and irritation were things she didn't seem to know how to hide.
Anna was thoughtful for a brief moment and smiled.
"Okay... The queen looks happy."
Wang Zheng was surprised by the small comment. A slight blush appeared on her face. "Do I?"
"Yes. I don't see you real smile very often..."
The queen smiled shyly. "Maybe that's Liu Wei's effect on people's lives."
Anna agreed. Liu Wei is like a big sun, bright and warm. "It sure is."
Liu Wei returned in her temporary wheelchair as she excitedly chatted about something with the nurse. The queen observing the interaction agreed: it sure is.
Wang Zheng saw the subtle presence of her secretary at the door of the infirmary, looked at her watch and saw that it was already late... She had to go back. She took a few steps forward and lightly touched Liu Wei's shoulder.
"Anna, she has one of her injured feet here is the remedy to improve the pain and swelling I also recommend putting ice on the spot. Also, the knees are injured so it is good to avoid hot baths or wet the wounds with hot water, also use this ointment before bed to prevent scarring..."
Anna listened to everything attentively and had already recorded it in her memory.
"... If she still feels a lot of pain tomorrow or the swelling is increasing, I ask you to take her to the hospital and have an x-ray."
The queen's main plan was to take Liu Wei from the infirmary straight to the hospital and perform a battery of tests, but as the young omega didn't seem to be in much pain, Wang Zheng decided to leave her only for observation.
Anna nodded in relief and positioned herself behind the wheelchair to push it.
"Sure your majesty."
The queen in a subtle gesture touched Liu Wei's cheek, she wanted to kiss her... But she needed to be content. The sweet smell of mint soothed her and gave her a faint feeling that it was okay to go. She smiled in her heart.
"Fine... I'll be right there. I wish you well..."
Liu Wei smiled beautifully. "Thanks for the hard work."
The queen smiled and started on her way accompanied by Huan Yang.
Anna took the opportunity that the queen had left to get all the medicines and put them in her bag to take them with her to Liu Wei's room.
The young princess took advantage of her maid's five minutes of distraction to approach the lab coat still leaning against the chair. She touched the fabric and subtly brought it close to her face, she could smell the sweet scent of soap next to pineapple, so sweet.
Liu Wei was already in her room and after a long shower she was staring at her reflection in front of the mirror. She sighed wearily. Her body was full of bruises. She felt angry.
Anna just watched the sour expression on the girl's face.
"Something bothering you?"
"Tomorrow I'll be completely purple..."
"That should pass with the days. We're lucky that nothing worse happened, you could have broken a leg..."
"Wel, but it was worth the effort. I found what I wanted and I made a good friend."
"The Queen?"
Anna was helping Liu Wei get dressed while they were talking.
"Chun Lei..."
The beta didn't know who Chun Lei was, but if she was friends with the princess she was probably a good person.
Liu Wei stopped for a few seconds to moisturize her lips and then continued.
"...Despite the good relationship with the queen, I still have to keep trying to win her."
Anna knew something important there were a lot of wedding dresses and there was a princess who was wearing a long wedding dress.
She smiled at the thought of seeing her getting married.
"Well I'm here to help you, do you need anything specific?"
The young omega smiled and looked thoughtful. I remember there were memories full of memories that weren't working for Liu it like new... That place should be full of memories of the Queen and in some of them.
"I need a cleaning crew... We don't need a cleaning crew, we're going to need a lot of brute force."
Anna nodded, it wouldn't be hard to get an urgent job if they paid well for it.
"Alright, I'll contact a cleaning company."
"Fine. I also need woodworkers and electricians."
Liu Wei talked excitedly as she walked awkwardly around the room. She had something big in mind, it was going to be unforgettable and perfect.
Anna was confused, the princess was ready to build a house?! It didn't make sense...
"Wheelmakers? Electricians? Princess, what are you planning?"
The young princess laughed funny, it was difficult to explain what she had in mind, so tomorrow they would go there and Anna would surely understand what she was trying to do.
"Just do as I asked, you'll understand better when we get there, but we need all three of them tomorrow, it's a lot of work to do..."
"Fine.... As you wish."
"Has the wine I asked for arrived?"
"Yes. It is already being refrigerated as per the Queen Mother's instructions."
Liu Wei sat down at her table slowly and watched her dinner finally being served. She was so hungry.
"Excellent."
She smiled satisfied. The wines grown by her family were the best, she was sure the queen would appreciate it.
Meanwhile, the Queen was already in her bed ready to sleep, but it had been at least an hour since she had been staring at the ceiling of her room and rolling from side to side... She couldn't believe it... She actually kissed Liu Wei .
She touched her lips with her fingertips, still able to remember the mint candy and the muffled moans.
That was madness... She felt nervous and curious, after all, Liu Wei's turn would soon come.
The queen had a strange expectation inside her... What was the princess prepared for her?
The day had barely dawned and Wang Zheng was already awake again. Her third date was early and she had to leave before sunrise.
Li Zhang would meet her on the spot. This time the queen didn't dare look at the view, she was so tired that she slept the whole time.
Wang Zheng had a troubled night's sleep... How to say? She had very satisfying dreams about Liu Wei, to the point that Huan Yang couldn't enter her room because of the amount of pheromone she released while sleeping.
It was very rare for Huan Yang to have reactions to the queen's pheromone. The Huan family had a strong tendency to have descendants with pheromones based on spices and especially peppers, and due to this very atypical nature they naturally supported almost any type of pheromone without much problem, the most that happened for safety measures was the use of protectors and inhibitors, but this was purely for convenience.
Huan Yang had a strong cinnamon pheromone, it was as if someone were trying to eat a spoonful of cinnamon powder. It was extremely uncomfortable and the situation improved a little only when he used inhibitors and the odor softened, but it was still strong.
The Huan family had served the Wang royal family for years and it could be seen that while they were not opposing pheromones, they were definitely not compatible. There were never any problems between the two families and the Huan family became essential within the complex royal system.
When you had an omega king or queen, you needed constant care and vigilance with the alphas around him, often an alpha in his susceptible moment could fight two to three betas alone so an alpha was needed who could defend whoever sat in the room. throne without second intentions.
There were few things that were forbidden to the king and one of them was an omega king being branded. There was not the slightest possibility that an omega who had been marked would rule Wang's country.
After all, an omega when marked would have a tendency to submit and want to please their alpha, and could even lose their minds in some circumstances. The king should be sober and conscious at all times, his word was sovereign law.
The queen wasn't worried about being branded, that possibility didn't exist in her mind, but it was worrying to go into estrus and make things uncomfortable for her servants.
The alpha's reaction made the queen more alert and asked that suppressors and barrier protectors be prepared. She must be very close to her estrus.
While the queen slept inside the little vehicle. Liu Wei was comfortable and relaxed on her large bed.
The sun didn't take long to finally rise.
Anna got all the professionals requested by Liu Wei early in the morning and just before lunch they would all be at the appointed place and time. The queen asked Secretary Huan to hand over the address along with a map of the region and a list of recommendations. Anna laughed funny, the queen really seemed very worried about Liu Wei.
Initially, there was a bit of reluctance on the part of workers to accept the job because it was real territory. Commoners could not roam the royal territories without permission, but after some prodding it became clear that they were allowed to serve.
Just before the second dawn Anna walked into Liu Wei's room and saw her fiddling with her cell phone, it was a rare situation, the young omega had a bad habit of not touching her cell phone very often and now she wouldn't let him away from her.
Her eyes were still puffy and she looked tired.
"Miss, your breakfast."
Liu Wei nodded in agreement and stood up. When she touched her foot to the ground she felt that the pain had diminished considerably, which made her very happy.
"Do you feel pain?"
"Very little, maybe tomorrow I'll be completely pain free."
"That's nice. "
The young princess sat down at the table and began to eat.
Liu Wei listened intently as she chewed and Anna briefed her on all the information she had gotten about the queen's old address.
The young omega also asked her to look for other topics such as: which recipe should be made on the first date?!
"The internet talks about a lot of things and in a lot of them I felt a little old, but I found some information that is to your liking."
Liu Wei laughed at Anna's tone, she thought it was very funny how a woman so beautiful and still so young wanted to pretend to be old, even Anna's clothes were very reminiscent of the clothes that her great-grandmother Liu wore.
She felt excited by the conversation, it was her first time trying to win over someone and she wanted to do it with everything she had.
"And what did you find?"
Anna made herself thoughtful for a few seconds and even sat opposite Liu Wei to speak more comfortably, at that moment they were talking like best friends and not like princess and maid.
"I think eating duck is very romantic."
Liu Wei almost spit out all the coffee she had in her mouth… She started to laugh as she tried to swallow the still hot drink.
Anna almost got up scared thinking the princess was choking.
The young omega's face was red and she felt her belly hurt from laughing so hard. "Duck?"
In Liu Wei's eyes, duck was not romantic and she had no experience preparing this meat. But what she didn't understand was that Anna spent a sleepless night researching various foods and their benefits… Duck looked perfect, its effects on the immune system and building muscle mass… In addition to the health benefits for skin, hair and eyes.
"Duck!"
Liu Wei was not someone hard to please with food, she would eat and cook anything. "Why duck? Isn't chicken good enough?"
Anna's eyes widened in such ignorance. Liu Wei was laughing.
"It's not the same!"
Liu Wei couldn't remember the last time she laughed so hard, well, duck now looked good. "Well... It's almost."
"No, it's not..."
Anna gave a loud sigh, that girl was very stubborn.
"I prefer to eat a sandwich..."
"So duck sandwich."
Liu Wei wasn't going to make duck, but she definitely wasn't going to discuss duck meat with Anna. She accepted in her heart that someday she should make the damn duck for her and the beta to eat.
"Right and what else besides duck?"
"A strawberry pie and wine."
Liu Wei seemed to agree with her maid's suggestion.
"Well, strawberry cake is the queen's favorite, but pie is different from cake."
Anna was well aware of the princess's preferences, she liked more sour and citrus foods. "You don't like sweets so much… Why doesn't she make a more sour strawberry syrup? "
Liu Wei's face lit up, she had a great idea for syrup and it would look great with a fresh strawberry cake. "That's a great idea."
Anna laughed contentedly. "Do you have a menu in mind?"
"Strawberry cake, fresh fruit, sautéed potato, sweet and sour pork sandwich and wine."
Anna smiled, she didn't know how to cook so she felt very proud to see her princess speak so properly about it. "Looks good…"
Liu Wei had finally finished her breakfast and now she got up and walked towards the bathroom. "If one day I can repeat this picnic, we'll eat a whole duck, the four of us: me, queen, you and your omega. What about?"
Anna felt embarrassed by the proposal. "Don't need all that..."
Liu Wei chuckled gently, "Of course you do, it's the first time I've seen you so excited about food."
Thank you princess."
Liu Wei briefly glanced at her watch and they still had plenty of time, but she wanted to get there as soon as possible. "Help me undress, I'm going to shower and we're going out. Call the guards"
"Sure."
Anna finally got up, today was going to be a long day.
