Disappointed

Ch-14

"Adira, Why are you still in this dress? Didn't I tell you to get ready before lunchtime? We will have to meet the Great Witch," Serene said as she walked into her daughter's chambers.

"When did you say?" Adira asked with wide eyes.

"I sent a maid," Serene said.

"But no maid came to me," Adira said.

"What's wrong with these maids? Fine whatever come with me now," she said as she dragged her with her arm.

"Mom, did you inform Dowager, Queen Eudora?" Adira asked all of a sudden making her stop in her tracks.

"Nope. Not yet. We have time till the sun rises," Serene responded.

Adira knew if she shied away now then she would not be able to overcome the fear of the Vampires. She wants to know about Vampires and their plans. From Zaros's behavior, she understood he just doesn't want to marry her but also wants something. This wasn't good.

But for the sake of her kingdom, she would take the risk.

"Why did you ask?" she heard her mother asking before she could think further.

"Nothing. I was just asking," Adira said.

"I let the maid draw a bath for you. Take it without complaining," Serene said with a stern face.

Adira for some reason hated milk. It does not hate maybe a strong dislike. For some reason, she didn't like drinking milk. And a bath…. May God bless her not to puke her guts out.

Entering the bathhouse, she was welcomed with enormous sight. There are three sections in the bathhouse. One section has a bathtub, another got shower and the final one got a pool-like section which was mostly used by everyone.

She was led to the bathtub by the maids. Her dress pooled around her legs as the maids started removing layers of her dress one by one. She could feel a wave of chill air grazing her skin but she shrugged it. The maids were always surprised at the beautiful body of Adira whenever they watch. She never failed to surprise them with her body. Rumors say that she has a white wolf with blue eyes and her beauty would be always something that anybody can imagine. And the Great Witch who personally delivered Adira once said that she was jealous of this infant because she will have a great body that makes every woman in this world envious and every man in this world desire her.

As she lifted her snow-like ankle in their they gasped. The maids wished to be a man to enjoy this beauty at that second. But shook their heads as it was simply impossible. She entered the tub slowly yet gracefully that could make a man's heart flutter at the very sight.

The tub was filled with hot milk and the layer of it was covered with rose petals making the milk turn into light pink color. As she lay in the tub, the maids applied a paste that was made of turmeric and sandalwood to her body. As they applied they massaged her body and then massaged her head with some rare oils.

According to their belief, rose petals, milk, sandalwood, and turmeric will remove the impurities from their bodies. And when a person is pure the great witch can get them to receive the blessings of the heavenly gods. And for some reason, this was only for women not for men. No one knew the reason for it.

After some time, they washed her body with the warm milk before letting her get out of the tub. Then they led her to the pool and washed her body cleanly. After she stepped out of the tub, Adira could feel the tan and impurities were washed off. Her body seemed to glow brightly while her skin turned softer and delicate with this bath.

They wiped her body without any single drop of water and then helped her get ready.

With the bath and the massage given by her maids, Adira decided one thing. This was her turf and her family's turf. She shouldn't be scared of the vampires on her turf. She will learn from Dowager Queen Eudora. And then… she will learn their weak spots.

She no longer held any doubts or insecurities. The Vampire King can go to hell. She could care any less about him. Adira had her part of doubts about him from the start but his overly close yet romantic side made her feel suspicious of him. And then today's morning incident made her doubts stronger.

She wore a white floor-length dress, with a high collar neck with a cape on her back. Her sleeveless hands exposed her slender arms to the naked eye, making them mesmerized by her beauty. She adorned her arms with beautiful white diamond armlets while she adorned her forehead with a forehead chain. She looked like a diva. Adira wore light makeup with light blush along with light red lipstick making her look pure, innocent, and harmless white rabbit.

After that, she was served her lunch. After finishing lunch, she walked toward her mother's room.

"Mom, I am done," Adira said entering her chambers. She could see her mother was almost done dressing up.

"I am almost done," Serene said.

After she was done, they both walked to the drawing-room. Adira and Serene noticed that everyone was already waiting for them.

"Thank you Gentlemen for waiting upon us," Serene said with a slight bow and walked towards them. Seeing Adira and Serene entering the room everyone got up and decided to go to the Great Witch's tower.

Adira was walking with her mother while Maximus was walking on the other side of Adira. She felt happy that she doesn't need to walk with that angry bull Vampire King. But her happiness was short-lived.

"Adira and Lenora why don't you guys walk with your partners," Serene suggested. Almost everyone agreed but Adira. Her face turned sullen and disappointed only for a brief second but was caught by the Vampire King and the Werewolf King.

Zaros had an amused smirk on his face while Maximus had a suspicious look on his face.

But before they could say something Lenora came to Maximus's side that made Adira go to Zaros' side.
