Rutto
“Greltheaven, once again,” I said as I walked down from the ship.
I had co here nine months ago but needed to return imdiately. Those bastards didn’t even let
enter the city and sent
back from the port.
It was embarrassing for
in the court. It had ruined my reputation and made
bankrupt.
If not for that, fortunate incident, that brought
back to the good graces of his imperial majesty. I would have been still in that hellhole.
Those months were the worst ti of my life.
Coming here is a dangerous decision. Seeing the undead could capture the city, but there was no future in the court.
It is also not safe. Especially for , who could barely protect himself.
To , this place will be much safer than the court.
Prince Grelt is dead. That bastard Darrow is also dead.
Without them, the old man is no threat. I would have really liked it if the old bastard had been here. I wanted to take the revenge on him.
I looked at the city and the barely visible tower.
Soon, I will be its guardian and all that emotion essence will be under my control. So are those precious plants, that his majesty wants.
Not to ntion the whores. I didn’t get a chance at them last ti; ti, they will be mine. …
...
Hors
Ding!
The chiming sound rang out, as the doors of the elevator opened.
We stepped out and imdiately felt the familiar sensation of the legacy that filled our souls, and this ti; it is far more powerful.
I still rember the feeling of last ti and what I had felt last ti pales compared to what I am feeling right now.
For a mont, I thought the legacy had advanced. Which is obviously not true. It is still Grade I, but more powerful than the last ti.
It is not just the power of the legacy, that overwheld , but also the enthralling slls and beauty of the plants around .
I thought the plants in the lobby were the most beautiful, with the most wonderful sll, but I had been wrong.
These plants are more beautiful and the slls coming from them had reached my soul. They have started to bring out emotions that I hadn’t felt in a long ti.
I looked at the beautiful plants and the emotion mist covering them. They look so beautiful like the parts of heaven brought into the mortal world.
I found tears had started to co out of my eyes.
I looked around and saw nearly everyone had tears in their eyes. The only one among us, that felt less affected is Baroness Leila.
Even her eyes are misty.
The woman is very good at controlling her emotions. I had never seen her show emotions when she didn’t want to, but this place had affected her, too.
“Welco to the velvet spa, ladies and gentlen,” said a young voice.
Only to see a young woman in a white dress standing in front of us.
She is a teen girl, of fifteen-sixteen years. She had short blond hair, barely reaching her neck, and pale green eyes, that highlighted her delicate face.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
She had been there from the beginning. We just didn’t notice, as the feeling of legacy beauty and fragrance of plants enveloped us.
“Please follow ,”
The teen led us through the beautiful hallway covered in plants, into the room with mats.
Gasps!
The gasps rang out around
as they saw the marvel in the center of the spa.
“Mistral Cascade; it covers all four floors of the spa,” inford the teen with a bright smile on her face.
It is a spiral vortex rain waterfall, and it is not common water flowing through it, but water, that is densely mixed with mist of legacy.
It had turned every drop velvety, and the sound they made seed to soothe my soul.
“Ah,”
I moaned as my legs beca weak and I sat on the mat.
First, the spa had only overwheld my visual and olfactory senses, but now even my auditory senses were overwheld with this waterfall.
These three together created such cadence that emotions rose out of
in bursts and began to flow out through the tears.
I lost control over my emotions, and I didn’t try to control them. Instead, let them flow out through the tears.
The world is hard, and at every mont, I need to guard my emotions.
I needed to do that every day after we beca nobles and intensified when the barony separated itself from the Greltheaven.
I had bottled all those emotions and now they are coming out of
in a flood.
Minutes passed when finally, the flood of emotions stopped.
I felt calr than I had never felt beco. It felt like the mountainous weight that had been on my shoulders had lifted up.
It felt so good that I couldn’t describe it. Nor did I try to. I simply closed my eyes and enjoyed the feeling of peaceful emptiness, that I am feeling.
I kept my eyes closed for minutes, before finally opening them with a gentle smile on my face.
I looked and saw myself sitting on the mat with mist covering . I looked around and realized there were people everywhere, sitting on mats covered in dense mist.
I hadn’t noticed them when I had co into the room.
They had mist covering them and it was dense enough, that I couldn’t see their faces, but through their body language, I know they are also crying.
I looked at my husband and saw him shaking.
I could tell he was crying too, and I wanted to comfort him but stopped myself.
This is extrely personal, and even I don’t have the right to invade this mont. I wouldn’t have liked it if Elias had co when the emotions flooded out of .
I looked at him for a while, before turning to others. All of them are crying, especially the n; they are crying hardest.
Which isn’t surprising. n aren’t allowed to show emotions or cry. From childhood, they keep it all bottled up, rarely letting them out.
Now, it is all coming out.
I saw a door opening and three more people coming inside the hall.
The mist had enveloped them as they ca through the door. I couldn’t see their faces at all and I don’t think my ocular skill will be able to peer through it.
Mist felt strong, and I didn’t forget the suppression that I felt here when I activated my skills last ti.
The three people shook as we did, but the woman helped them sit on mats before they could fall on the ground.
Within a second, they begin to shake wildly.
I was looking at them, when a woman in her middle age, with Nazarian features, wearing in spa uniform in fuchsia colors, stopped beside .
“My lady. If you are emptied, I could take you to the waiting room.” She said, in a most soothing accented voice.
I nodded and even took her help in getting up, which I wouldn’t have if it had been under any other circumstances.
She opened the door without any sound and took
out of the hall to the waiting room.
It is huge and beautiful with plants, and the waterfall, which I think connects to all the rooms. They have built rooms around it.
“What was that? The sensory outburst was sudden and controllable,” I asked the woman.
“The legacies are places that harvest emotions. When it mixes with things that overwhelm the senses. It triggers the flood of emotions,” she replied in a calming voice.
“It was extre,” I said, and the woman smiled.
“That is good. I am sure you have started to feel the benefits of it already,” she said and I couldn’t help, but nod.
I am feeling calm as I had never before; even calr than after the spa treatnt last ti.
She led
to a seat, and I sat down before handing
a catalog.
“Thank you,” I said, and the woman smiled. “If you have any queries about any treatnt, please ask any of the assistants,” she said and walked away.
I watched her leave and look at the assistants. The teen girls strategically stood around the different parts of the waiting room.
I turned to the catalog and started to read.
The first ti when I ca, there were only two treatnt packages. One for n, one for won; each one offering four treatnts.
Now, there are over twenty packages, offering every type of treatnt possible.
Hun!
I was reading it when I noticed a woman coming and sitting by .
It is none other than Baroness Husk.
She looked different; a few lines on her face seed to have vanished, making her look a little younger.
“It had been a decade since I cried like that,” she said, with a small peaceful smile.
“But it feels good, right?” I asked, and the woman nodded. “Like the load, I never knew lifted from my shoulders,” she replied.
A few minutes later, Baroness Leila ca, and then Madam Silver. Who, for the first ti, looked calm since coming to the city.
I wonder how long that is going to last.
I was getting worried about Elias when I finally saw him coming, making
feel relieved.
He sat down in front of . Our eyes t before he turned to the catalog. We didn’t talk, nor did we need to.
I know he is fine, better than fine.
