Living in the Eras The Face...
“These are your quarters”, the guard told us and kept our luggage in front of a house that was three times our house in the village.It had a garden in front which connected all the other quarters together. There was a small fountain in between four quarters. The palace was indeed beautiful. The guard asked us to enter our house. We were allowed to stay here till our house was built again. It would take a month or two and till then we were staying in this beautiful place. My sisters ran inside like we never saw a house ever before.I thanked the guard once he helped my mom in entering the house. The house was indeed very pretty and all of us wondered if the quarters were this beautiful then how beyond the heaven beautiful the rooms inside the palace would be.“Have you seen any of the rooms in the palace?”, Mi So asked me.I preferred hiding the truth from them about the night I jumped into the room through the window. I replied with a no. “How is that possible, you work here!”, she e
Living in the Eras The Touch
The next morning, I was escorted to the king’s mother’s chamber by a guard. His mother was suffering from paralysis as well. Her whole body was paralyzed, unlike my mom who could still use her upper body. Taking care of my mom I already knew what all things are to be done and what protocol is to be followed.I entered her chamber and I was enthralled by the beauty around me. There was a big chandelier in the middle of a huge room. Our 10 quarters put together would make a room this big. My eyes literally popped out of the socket after taking in the charismatic view. There were huge curtains around the bed and the bed was placed on a platform. At one side of the room, there were musical instruments lined and kept in proper order. The guard must have noticed me looking there.“This is her personal musician’s stage. She loves music and the live music plays here when she wants to listen to it.”, he said.To say I was astonished would be an understatement. In the place where we couldn’t ge
Living in the Eras Dracula?
I had a high fever the next day and I didn’t remember what happened the day before. My sisters told me that Lord Lee brought me home. I remembered meeting Lee but I had no memory of the events that followed.I was given a half day off on my very second day at work. I was standing at my garden door when I heard my sisters squeal. I ran inside to figure out what the commotion was about. I was amazed to see that the king was standing at the door. Behind him were all the servants and guards who were looking much more bewildered. The king’s presence made everyone so nervous that none of them moved a muscle to welcome him. I stepped ahead and bowed to him.“My lord, what brings you here?”, I asked politely.“I told you not to be too formal. I just came to monitor the quarters and heard about your health so I visited.”, he answered.I welcomed him inside and as his steps fell into the house my sisters came out of their trance and bowed. They ran inside to make a place for him to sit and to p
Living in the Eras The Sin
4 hours had passed and Lee fell asleep on the floor and I was sitting alone wondering how can he sleep in such a dirty place being a prince. But he seemed really tough and flexible being a prince of such a big kingdom. He was looking at peace sleeping on that floor and he had a fairly light smile on his lips which could easily be confused with a rather blank expression at any time. His hair was pretty long and was falling to one side. That is when I noticed a very faint scar on his forehead. It was nearly invisible. This guy was full of mysteries and as I was getting to know him the mysteries became more and more intriguing.I heard a woman cry out loud and I snapped my gaze from the handsome face to a very gruesome view. I ran towards the gate and saw two guards beating a pregnant woman with belts. She was on the floor begging for the life of her child. I looked around to find there was nothing that I could use to save the poor woman. Then I heard someone say ‘pshhh’. I looked to the
Living in the Eras It's Not Over
None of us said a single word that evening and soon the moon was up shining brightly and trying to fill our dark lives with some serene light. I was still taken aback by the events that occurred today and I was looking at the moon through the small window present in the cell where the head’s wife was killed. Lee was changing his bandages and cleaning up his wounds again using the ointment box that one of the guards got for him. So much had happened and there was not a single message from the king. The gate opened and the head entered again. I squirmed under his angry gaze. He went straight towards Lee and bent down to look at his now bandaged hand.“After such a long wait, your brother finally gave you to me for one whole day and one whole night.”, he said gravely and then laughed.“The little surprise of the day is over and I hope you two are over it, because a new surprise awaits you,” the head said looking at Lee and me.His face showed an expression that clearly said no mercy! I w
Living in the Eras The Unknown
It was dark all around and I could hear some whispers around me. It seemed as if they were calling me, but they took a name not known to me.“Macy, Macy, wake up.”, they said in chorus. I tried to open my eyes and all I could think of was, who is this Macy? Is there someone else here with me?“I can’t open my eyes. I just can’t”. I panicked. Then I felt a warm hand on my shoulder. Trying to calm me down.“It’s okay. Don’t panic. It is all good and you are fine.”, a voice said. That voice seemed too familiar but yet I couldn’t remember who did it belong to.“But my eyes. they feel glued to each other.”, I said.“Don’t try too hard to open them. Feel the power inside and try to open your eyes by feeling at peace on the inside.”, the voice said.I calmed myself down and relaxed the muscles of my eyes. I tried to calm my thoughts, and my fears and I started thinking about something peaceful, Lee.“Try opening them now.”, she said.I did as I was told and finally light entered into my eyes
Living in the Eras Lee or Aiden?
The night was silent. None of us uttered a word. He was getting back into his real self and I was still comprehending the events and making myself believe that it was not a dream. Somewhere deep in my heart I still believed Aiden was the act not the character of Lee. Maybe he just likes these eras because he can be himself. And if that is true, I need to make this stupid prince believe that Lee is far better than Aiden. The sun was up and shining bright and Lee was walking by the door of the cell impatiently.“Why are you so restless?”, I asked.I got an angry look as the answer. I shrugged my shoulder and sat down quietly in the corner. He was the one tiring himself for no reason, why should I be bothered?“Can I ask you something?”, I asked. He looked irritated but he nodded nonetheless.“Does Lee actually exist in this era or is it the additional character to fit you in?”, I asked.“He did exist but he died early in the past. I just manipulated the lifespan to fit in. But once we g
Living in the Eras The Unthinkable
We were out of the cell and I could see my two sisters standing at the entrance with huge smiles glued to their faces perfectly indicating that they have seen me come. Mi so came running and jumped into my arms. I held her tight and hugged her with all the force I had in me. We were both crying. She was crying because she missed me and I was crying because I still couldn’t get over the murder I did. Kang followed with tears in her eyes too and she hugged us tightly.“Caused enough trouble for a lifetime, didn’t you little sis.”, she said with a hint of worry and laughter at the end.Mi So stepped down but she refused to let go of my hand. She did really miss me it seems. I looked up at Lee who was smiling at us, gracefully being in his character.“You should go home now and rest. I will see you tomorrow.”, he said and kissed my forehead lightly.For a moment I was taken aback and the kiss almost felt real. He lightly shoved me at the end making it clear that it was an act. I laughed n
