A WELCOMING FEAST 2

I didn't open my eyes, I just let my muscles relax in the warm water. My skin felt sore, especially my thighs felt bruised due to the constant horse riding.

Once I was done bathing, I stepped out of the washroom slipping a white cloth from the dresser to tie around my waist before stepping out of the room.

The maids given to me were still around the bedroom waiting for me to step out. I had asked them not to bathe me as I didn't feel like it. I wanted to be alone.

I was led to sit before the dressing mirror staring at my reflection. My skin had gotten paler due to the tortures from the last two days but at least now it looks clean. Though there were still visible bruises and slight marks left to see on my skin. It's a good thing we had finally arrived here.

I hadn't been here for long but I hoped this kingdom would be a blessing.
