"Go, you have an appointnt, and you won't want to be late for it," said Lorle.
El nodded before following the half-elf.
Soon we are in the elevator, and it begins to move up. Showing us each floor, covered in beautiful mist.
They are beautiful, that I wish. I could go out and explore every one of them.
I hope I will be able to tomorrow. We have an invitation, which ca with access to the entire legacy.
"First floor to the fourth floor are the store floors. They sell nearly everything, from kitchen tools to ivory art," inford the half-elf.
"What is the requirent to get space on these floors?" asked George and half-elf smiled.
"There is no requirent; it is up to Master Silver, who wants to give it but if I were to say, then it would be loyalty," she replied, wiping the expectation out of his face.
He shouldn't have asked for it. We already knew that over 75% of the stores here are owned by the locals.
Even among the remaining 25%. Half of them have beco local.
Soon, the elevator crossed the four floors and reached the fifth one. The theater looked incredible, making my heartbeat wildly.
I want to beco an actress. I have wanted to be since I was a child.
I am leaving the academy this year and already started applying to the theater companies. My focus is on the Eckels, a theater company based in Namdar.
It is one of the best ones in the empire and the oldest. It had sent many of its people to the spirit.
It is difficult to get into it.
So, I applied to the other theater companies as well. Including the few in the rchant states, who are accepting applicants from the empire.
I heard quite a lot of praise about the velvet theater and its director. He was quite famous before his fall from grace.
Now, he has started to get famous again. His plays are wonderful; one of the best, that even my teacher had given an example of it openly.
Which they didn't dare to do before.
The elevator moved up, and the store appeared. Not a normal store, but Eva Cain, that everybody is talking about.
I wish the elevator could move slower, but it didn't. It passed through it, before finally stopping.
As the energy screen disappeared. Another type of fragrance hit us. They seed more powerful but also had heavy calming effects.
We stepped out of the elevator, and imdiately, the effect amplified.
I looked around and felt tears in my eyes.
This is not a spa in front of , but a freaking forest. I could see trees everywhere.
From the flower trees to trunks of trees to greens and shrubs; there was greenery everywhere. So much so that they masked the walls of the spa itself.
They seed to have spared no expense in making it seem like a forest.
They even created mini-streams. One of them is passing beside .
It's so beautiful.
I looked around and saw my parents and even El had tears in their eyes. One can't help it.
"Welco to the velvet spa," greeted the teen of the sa age as El and I.
"Please follow ," she said and led us to the changing room. Where robes are neatly placed on stone racks.
I chose one of my sizes and changed into it. The robe is a cream color and light as a feather. It feels amazing against my skin.
I looked at myself in the mirror one more ti and ca out and the sa teen was waiting for .
"Miss Pearson, would you like
to lead you to the waiting room directly or through the mory sanatorium?" she asked.
"Sanatorium," I replied, and she nodded and moved with
following behind.
There is a huge article about the mory sanatorium of a velvet garden in the papers. The author expounded in great detail about it.
I want to experience it. Just like the author it did.
She stopped and opened the door. Leading
to the beautiful cove filled with heavy greenery.
There are stone circles in between. Which are the straw mats.
A lot of people are sitting there. I could only see a silhouette as they were covered in a light mist.
I looked at them, before focusing on the massive vortex waterfall. Thousands of droplets filled with colorful mist are swirling, making a beautiful sound.
I heard it earlier. It was faint, barely audible, but here it was louder.
Hearing the sound, slling a wonderful sll, and seeing beautiful scenery, a quake rang through my soul.
I shook, before gently sitting on the round mat, beside the small stream, while tears flowed down my body uncontrollably as the mories flashed in front of .
I am experiencing mories. Good and bad, so I had forgotten a long ti ago.
All of them are flashing in front of my eyes.
There is no control over it and I have not tried to control it.
The mories are beautiful.
I do not like all of them, but it is a blessing to enjoy them. I am relieved once again as I felt the sa emotions near the sa intensity as I felt in the past.
I don't know how long it had lasted, but soon the mories started to disappear.
Soon, I gained control over my emotions and felt so light and free, like I had never felt before.

I smiled and looked around.
Hun!
A mont later, the teen appeared in front of
through the mist. She didn't say anything, nor did she need to.
I got up, and she led
out.
She gently opened the door, and I walked out of it. On the other side, Eryna is waiting for .
"How are you feeling?" she asked gently. "Better than ever," I replied. To which she smiled and walked ahead into the large waiting room.
There are people everywhere, sitting in the mini forest.
I am referring to it as a forest rather than a garden because it bears more similarities with the forest than the garden.
People looked at
as I looked at them. I recognize so and those recognized are all the important people.
Soon, she stopped, and I sat down beside my brother. He is drinking tea with a colorful mist enveloping it.
"It was sothing else, wasn't it?" he asked with a sigh, and I couldn't help, but nod.
I was about to pick up the treatnt catalog in front of . When a woman wearing a spa uniform ca and placed a steaming tea in front of .
Tea that had mist inside and outside of it.
"Thank you," I said to the woman. She smiled and walked away, while I picked up the cup and breathed an amazing aroma, before taking a sip.
It looked hot but didn't feel hot when I took a sip.
It had a light, refreshing taste. When I swallowed the tea it seed to transform into energy and spread that refreshing energy into my body and mind.
I was enjoying the tea when El ca in; she sat beside
silently and a few seconds later, her own tea ca.
Usually, we talk when we are sitting in one place, but now I am fine with silence.
Nearly everybody is silent here. Even those that are talking are talking in whispers.
It was a little over two minutes after El, my parents ca, and they looked calm with their bodies relaxed.
Seeing that, I couldn't help, but smile. They needed this.
"Have you seen the people?" asked father softly as he sat down beside us.
"A lot of important people from Inam are sitting here," replied George. "Not just Inam, but also Namdar and rchant states. There are even a few from the empire," he replied.
He looked around before his eyes focused on a beautiful woman with silvery gray eyes.
"See that woman? She is lord Silver's sister, Lady Leila. The elf beside her is Lady Blackwell of Amberhold," he inford, before identifying the other people.
He seed to recognize nearly everyone here.
Soon, their tea arrived, and they began to drink it while looking at the treatnts.
Every treatnt is free. Thanks to El's mother.
It made
feel a little guilty seeing how expensive these treatnts are.
"Which package are you choosing?" I asked her after I looked over.
"They all are very expensive," she replied. Hearing that, I couldn't help but shake my head.
This girl should understand by now how powerful her mother is and, while the treatnt is expensive, I am sure her mother could afford it.
She might not even need to pay for it.
The top executive has many privileges, and her mother is one of the most powerful won here. I am sure, she has privileges too.
"Don't think about it too hard. Your mother wants to spoil you; you should let her do it," I advised.
She hesitated for a mont before nodding.
I smiled and turned to the book. There were many packages, and all seed enticing.
Hun!
I was about to call the staff when I saw a man appear in front of us. A familiar man, seeing him, and father got up imdiately.
"Pearson, I didn't expect to see you here," said the man and looked at us. "And with the whole family," he added.
There is a clear curiosity in the man's eyes. He is a bastard, her father does not like him, and not many people do, but he is a relative of the lord of Inam.
So, nobody could do anything to him, despite hating his guts.
The raven-haired man is Jules Benil. A vice-guild master of the rchant guild of Inam.
"It's all because of Miss Swan. She is a friend of my daughter, and her mother is kind enough to give us the invitation," replied father.
His expression is neutral, but mirth in his eyes.
The man followed Father's gaze and looked at El. There was confusion in his eyes for a second, before a spark of realization lit up.
"Ah, Madam Swan's daughter," he said.
A contempt appeared in his eyes for a mont, before it disappeared, and a smile took its place.
He nodded at her and talked to Father for a few minutes before walking away.
I shared a look with my family before moving to the catalog. It's really hard to choose. There are all sorts of treatnts for every type of skin.
Everything looks great.
I was looking at it in indecision when I saw a raven-haired woman appear in front of us, or rather, in front of El.
What struck
was how respectfully Eryna was standing behind her. I also found people are looking at us, or rather, the won.
It's clear, she is important and feels familiar.
"Miss Ella, I hope you have been having a good ti," said the woman.
"Yes," replied El after a hesitation.
"Have you chosen the treatnts?" the woman asked, to whom El shook her head. "It's too hard. Everything is great," El replied in indecision.
The woman smiled and raised her hand toward her, before stopping, seeing El, shaking a little.
El didn't like people touching her.
"May I?" the woman seed to understand that as she asked. El hesitated for a mont, before nodding and the woman took her hand.
A few seconds later, she let go.
"You have the sa wonderful skin as your mother. The most suitable for you would be the ardent radiance package," she replied.
"Thank you," replied El. "There is no need to thank ," she replied with a smile.
"Miss, can you help
too?" I asked. Before I could stop myself, and felt the eyes of my parents on .
"You must be Ella's friend?" she asked, and I nodded. The woman smiled and took my hand.
Imdiately, I felt like I was naked. Different sort of naked, where I didn't feel shy or ashad.
I felt like this woman could see every part of , both inside and outside with those powerful skills. They are the most powerful skills I had felt used on .
A few seconds passed, and a woman withdrew her hands.
"You have drier skin. Aqua rejuvenation would be perfect for you," she replied, before turning to El.
"Don't worry about anything and enjoy the spa," she advised El before walking away.
"Do you know who that was?" asked my father in a hissing voice. "Soone important," I replied.
I gathered as much.
"That's Maeve Hanson. Director of the spa," he inford , and my eyes widened.
"Oh," I said.
I turned a mont later and saw her talking with important people. Including Lord Silver's sister and elf from the rchant states.
Soon my parents and brother chose their treatnt as well, and the staff took us to the treatnt.
Hours passed, and I went through one treatnt after another. It was a trip to heaven that I will never be able to forget in all my life.
Click!
"You seem happy," said El, as I entered a beautiful room. "I am. I don't think I have ever been so happy and relaxed," I said as I sat down beside her.
