CHAPTER 7
WHEN ZELIA felt that she's sleeping comfortably and she felt a presence next to her, her eyes immediately wide open as well as her senses, when she roamed her eyes to see where she is... she can see the golds around the corner so she remember that she was in the Emperor's room.
When she look at her left side, she saw the Emperor sleeping beside her.
She went to his side and gently push the side of his hair who was covering his face.
"Dang this man who look handsome even sleeping. He looks good when his hair's down."She whispered afraid that she might wake him up. 'Let's just let him sleep, he might be tired.'
When she saw the pile of clothings on the table who was folded neatly, she can't help but to smile at the Emperor's gestures. He really went out to buy her some clothes.
"Hmm... let see, how many does he buy..."When she's done counting, she gasped. The clothing that he buy were total of 106 pair of clothes with different styles.
'Nevermind, it's okay since I don't have money and I'm not the one who buys it anyways. I'm just gonna choose a good outfit for today. I can't let my day ruined by my outfit.' Zelia said on her inner mind and she choose a pair of clothes which she wanted to dress for today.
The outfit that she choose for her pants is a wide leg grey pants while she can't choose for her upper body since the other was all dresses, and robes.
"Ah... here we go again."She said before she went to the gold drawer to find is she can find any big needles that for yarn and also a yarn. As she open the drawer, she's having a hard time since it's made of gold so what she do is to put all her strength at once as she pull the handle and thankfully it opens. She beamed as she get what she wanted, also she get the sharp medium knife to cut the fabric.
She was sitting on the couch as she was cutting at the same time knitting for her outfit. When she's finally done doing it, she lift the shirt that she made, it was a grey croptop with a surpline as the neckline.
After she did her morning routine, like bathing—yes, the Emperor's Room has a comfort room which is shockingly unbelievable, besides the room of the Emperor's is quite large to be called a room when the best thing to called it is actually a House. A house, dear.
Anyways, since there is no blower around and the the room doesn't have another room except for the Comfort Room who has a gold door that made her shoulder almost fall of, she walks without any clothings on her, meaning to say—she walks barely naked since she taught that His Majesty was still sleeping.
What more shocking is he was having a tea on the table, then as soon as he saw her, he almost choke by the tea which he was drinking making Zelia chuckled. She didn't mind covering herself since His Majesty already seen it so there is no point of covering it.
Instead she went to the couch and get the clothes which she choose earlier, Of course since she know that His Majesty didn't buy her some undergarments, that's why she's the one who made her own.
When she's done dressing herself, all of her outfit color is grey while the Emperor's robe color is red—as expected.
Zelia look at him then she smile, "Good Morning, Your Majesty."
The Emperor nodded his head yet same expression as ever, "Good Morning, still can't remember my name?"
Zelia nodded, "Yes, I apologise."
"That's okay, just remember my name."He said in a low tone not enough for Zelia to hear it.
Zelia slightly bow her head, "I'm sorry, You Majesty but I must excuse myself since I still have a lots of duties to do." She said as she walks through the golden door, but before she could open it, Your Majesty spoke, "You should feel your stomach before you go."
Zelia smile and look at him before she shook her head, "Thank you for that invitation but I'm afraid I can't since we, servants have our own food in the kitchen, so it's fine. Besides, I'm not that hungry. I must go, Your Majesty."
The Emperor sighed, "Fine. It's not like I can do anything about your decision."
Zelia just gave him a smile before she open the gold door, as expected it's heavy but she's already used to it so it's easy for him to open it now without hurting her shoulder. Well, she's only using one arm as she open any of the heavy things, left and right, one by one.
When she's finally out of the Emperor's house, she can still see the sunset, so she guess it's already 4:30 in the morning. She sigh as she walk down using the staircase, well there's no elevator here no matter how big this place is.
And since she's smart and she has a photograpic memory, she can easily remember where she went and where does the Servant place is. It was located at the left side of the palace, when she saw the door... she push it and she almost broke it since she was used on pushing the gold door.
She sighed in relief, "thank goodness it didn't break."She said as she went to the room where her name was carve on the door. Every servant, here in the Palace has their own room except for the boys who have a roommates, while the women's haven't. And also, the boy was on the other side of the wall, meaning no woman and man can meet during the sleeping time.
The girl's room had total of 17 rooms and each of them has their own respective room.
She didn't bother to see what type of room she has, instead she just went to the small couch and sit there while drinking tea. Where does she get the tea? Of course, in the kitchen since the Kitchen is near the Servant's room.
She was also reading some book which has the title of 'The Flower Bloom on Summer', she finds it interesting so she decided to read it. They have a small bookshelf in their Servant Room, so since she's board and she can't just sit without doing anything, she decided to read a book instead. Well, as a CEO and the owner of the company, every morning she would wake up with a tea on her table and a laptop near her. She's not used in her daily life. It's like she reduced her life span without clicking and tapping the keyboard and the mouse.
She's focusing on reading until someone called her using the word 'Gorgeous' and since she know that she's gorgeous, she look at the person who just called her.
It was none other than the woman yesterday, named Ysa.
When Zelia look at Ysa, Ysa immediately went to her side to hug her.
"What are you doing?"Zelia said while Ysa was still hugging her not letting her go.
"What's your name?"She asked not minding what Zelia said a while ago.
Zelia sigh, "The name is Zelia."
"I'm Ysa."She said while there's a glitter that sparkles in her eyes, like she was happy to have her name.
"I know, you already said it yesterday."Zelia said making her chuckled.
"So... are you and the Emperor's... lover?"She asked while there is a teasing smile hint on her lips.
She rolled her eyes, "Definitely not."She said as she close the book to sip the tea, "Were not friends with benefits either."
Her brow meet in confusion, "Friends with benefits? What's that?"
"Nevermind, don't ask me what is it since I can't explain it to you clearly."Zelia said making her chuckled.
"Okay, if you say so... Anyways, I have something to tell you."She said while smiling.
Since she's also curious at what she wanted to say, "Okay, what is it?"
"Hmm... I think I'm in love."She said making Zelia's jaw dropped. Thank goodness that she isn't sipping her tea.
"What?!"
"Yeah, it's true. My heart starts to pump like crazy, isn't that called love? That's what I read in books. If your heart starts pumping while you are alone with a man, meaning your in love, right?"She said happily which made her sigh as lightly slapped her forehead. She was still hugging her neck while she sat at the side of the couch.
"So, is it also called love when your heart start thumping at your enemy as well as the bad guys?"Zelia asked sarcastically which made her froze and then she touch her chin as if she was thinking for the answer.
Zelia sigh, "See? You can't answer that so you can't be sure, what if he's a bad man and you claim to be in love with him, isn't that weird and confusing? You can't just immediately claim yourself as your in love with him. What if you are just nervous around him? Or scared with him?"
Ysa gasped, "Yeah, you have a point. This heart of mine is so misleading! That love is confusing!"
She chuckled, "I know."
"Have you been in love?" Ysa asked and she shook her head, "Nope, I haven't been."
"Oh, maybe you have already in love but you don't know what love is that's why you can't say that your in love. So, our mission for today is to find what love is."She said with a smile visible on her face.
"How old are you?"Zelia asked.
"I'm 25 years old."She said.
"So young. Don't bother find love, let the love finds you."Zelia said while tapping her shoulder as she get the cup with tea on it and starts sipping while Ysa was confused.
"Is love a human?"Ysa asked confusedly trying to process what Zelia said about let the live find you.
Zelia look at her, " No, it's a robot."She said sarcastically.
She looked at her innocently, "What is a robot?"
Zelia's inner self was screaming in annoyance,"Damn. Stop asking me, I'll be crazy by answering your question!"
Ysa just look at her confusedly, 'What happen to her?'
END OF CHAPTER 7
CHAPTER 8ZELIA was sitting on the couch while Ysa was still hugging her neck, sitting on the side of the couch."What are you two doing? And why is that b*tch here?"One of Emperor's harem asked while pointing Zelia.Ysa glare at her, "Don't call her b*tch. She's not a b*tch, she a gorgeous woman."She said while defending Zelia, while she was just reading on the book which she found amusing while holding a cup that has a tea on it, sipping elegantly like she's the boss—well she was.The woman chuckled with sarcastic,"Gorgeous?! She's so ugly, I bet she put something on the Emperor's food to manipulate him or maybe she has a bad intention, like for example... a gold digger?"Zelai didn't mind what she just said and just continue reading the book. She won't step down to her level unless that woman would do something to provoke her. She has a bad temper and everyone in her company knows what she would
CHAPTER 9ZELIA was already at the Emperor's Room, and while waiting for him, she went to his bookshelves and get something interesting book to read. She was sitting on the couch while reading the book."Why did the Emperor tell me to get here?"Zelia said to herself since she can't really focus to what she's reading. Her attention was divert to something and she can't relaxed. She's bothered."Because I'm here to ask if you already remember my name."The Emperor said making her look at his direction, he's already inside of the room.She's to focused on something that she already forgot that she's in the room of the Emperor."Nope. I still can't remember it. Why not tell me?"Zelia said while she closed the book that she can't finish reading because she's focusing on something.The Emperor chuckled—his expressionless was starting to f

As expected, the Claw Clan is a big country, it has it's own beauty in each village that they went.And of course, they have a bodyguards who's capable in martial arts and cable of protecting it's Majesty since they can't tour around as they please because they don't know when or when the enemies will strike.Now they are in a wooden boat, only the two of them and the other wooden boat was ridden with the two person, namely Raves and Mae.Zelia smiled at the Emperor, "Thank you for touring me around. I didn't know that the Claw Clan is this beautiful.""It's my pleasure to do so."The Emperor said with expressionless expression.Before she could talk, Mae interrupt them both, "Your Majesty, it's already time and it's almost for the festival later, we must go to the palace or e

She saw a lot of dresses which is all suited to her tastes, she doesn't believe that a man like him can't make a wonderful dresses but now that she saw it with her own eyes, she immediately believe and filled with an admiration at him.The man chuckled at her expression as she was roaming her eyes on his store, "It's beautiful isn't it?"Zelia nodded her head, "Yeah, it is. You're good. at making something like this. All of your dresses really suited my tastes.""Thank you. By the way, I'm Zerzus, it's nice meeting such a gorgeous lady like you."He said as he his left hand on his stomach while his right hand was on the air as he bend his knees, so as his head, it's like he was treating her like a princess, much more like a queen.She chuckled, "Oh, why thank you.

She climbed off the bed to do her morning routine.When she's done doing all of her morning routine, she just let her long blonde hair down wet since there is no blower in this era. She's doing someone exercise like push-up and other exercise that are good for slimming as well as strengthens the muscles.She went out of her room to get a tea when someone rush onto her direction and hug her tightly."I miss you, Sis.
