"You are the Physician who will be looking after me?" Said the Empress, she was dressed in her heavy phoenix attire. The Naïve female lead gazed at her trying to access her, her eyes carried a little bit of maturity. This is probably due to the Emperor's abandonment; the girl is basically depressed.
"First off, get her out of those clothes" Rachel demanded immediately to the maidservants. "She is pregnant and it's summer, heavy outfits cause stress, not to mention its hot." The maidservants looked reluctant to listen. Making Rachel Glare at them.
"It's fin-" The Naïve female lead began to say , trying to display some kind of kindness for her maidservants, but she didn't get a word out when Rachel gritted her teeth.
"Now!" she yelled shocking them, she then turned to the Empress and gave and extreme chilling look that made the young girl freeze. "Your Opinion does not matter; this is a doctor's order. But, of Course if your want to lose your child them by all means."
"…." The female lead was frozen in place. While the maidservants scurried out of their not even thinking about doing their work.
"Useless" Rachel uttered as she walked towards the area where the Empresses clothes are and picked out some light wear for her to wear. "Your Clothes are being changed." The Empress began to comply as she softy stood up not rejecting her.
AS her clothes where being changed, The female lead started to breath easier, she honestly didn't want to wear such heavy clothes but the maidservants insisted. Rachel quickly folded the elegant clothes backup and put them away. Before taking out a chair, and pushing it towards the window as she opened it. To let the Cool breeze flow into the room.
"Sit here, you most likely have been inside for a long time. The fresh air will help relax you." The female lead nodded as she walked over to the chair, the moment she sat down she instantly felt more relaxed. The light cooling breeze hit her face and with it came a fresh scent of the great outdoors. Rachel had shaped a couple of blankets into a neck pillow and laid it on the vanity before turning to the female lead and laying her hands down gently on her shoulders.
The female lead jumped for a moment but didn't over afterwards once she understood what was happening to her.
"This Morning I'll start with a shoulder message; this will put you to sleep within a few minutes. I'll then have your chair slightly lift, so that you can take a nap by the window. The breeze is light and won't induce a cold. By the Time you wake, tea and some herbal foods will already be prepared for you. After some time I'll have you do a little physical activity before stretching. By then End of the day you soak in a warm honey seas-salt bath and then your final meal for the day before you'll be messaged one last time before bed." Rachel spoke but she said it softly and slowly to edge the female closer to sleep.
And once she was fully asleep, Rachel finished the message, placed the neck pillow and slanted the chair.
"Now, then it's time to get rid of all the disgusting things in this room." Rachel said quietly before using her shadows to clean up every inch of the room. It looked spotless and the nauseating scent that drifted in the room was gone and replaced with the smell of bamboo. She then set up her miniature tea set on a table a little distance away before sitting right next to it and reading away from a book.
The Empress woke about two hours late, her face somewhat glowing as the smell of a fresh cooked meal was placed in front of her. She looked up at Rachel that light poured her a blue colored tea.
"Go ahead and start eating, there is no need to hold back. The Empress hunger took over and she started eating the delicious meals already. Each bite making her feel more and more refreshed.
"Wonderful" The female Lead couldn't help but feel grateful, she had gotten used to the ancient period's food reluctantly, in her own world her parents always cooked for her and the only things she ever made was instant foods. Needless to say the foods here never tasted hat food. She remembered that her doctor was the old man's daughter and that the young girl had traveled all around the world by herself.
She felt that the young women were lucky, since, it was once her dream to travel the world. But, she gave that up to marry the male lead.
Rachel sighed, she could already see the female lead's regret and longing. She is an unfortunate example of a one-sided relationship. An Example of how female leads will always be the one to sacrifice for her partner.
'Love is a Blind Madness'
Sometime later, it was night and she had put the female lead to bed. The women laid comfortably with a soft smile on her face. She was pampered to the extreme so now she felt like a now person altogether. Leaning against the pillar outside of the Empress room Rachel had her arms folded looking at the moon.
Below in the courtyard was a pile of bodies, Assassin, they where in great number. Who they where planning to kill. Rachel didn't care, they where annoying so she killed them. Her shadows expanded as they cleaned up the bodies and all the blood stains making it as if they had never appeared in the first place.
