Capítulo 7: Trip to Aires
"Hello Miss Yu Sha and Miss Su Na, my name is Keng. I am assigned to pick you two up and take both of you to the piers."
"Thank you," Su Na replied. In the email that was sent to them, from the person who would pick them to the maids who would take care of them during their stay, was listed. A complete set of schedules with the people who would be involved with them was already given to them.
Keng grabbed onto the two pieces of luggage and escorted them out to the car. When they got to the car, he opened the back door for them to get in first.
Keng regularly drove guests for Ether. He knew the responsibility of receiving guests. He was very courteous and always made sure that the guests were properly welcomed.
Yu Sha glanced at Su Na to let her know that she would go in first. "Ah, thank you." She thanked as she walked past the driver into the car. She sat inside the car and scooted over to make space so Su Na did not have to go around to the other side to get inside the car.
After Su Na sat down, Keng closed the door and popped the trunk open. He stored their luggage neatly in the back, walked to the driver's side, and drove off.
It took them almost two hours to pass through the city. They headed towards an area that seemed to be more and more heavily wooded. Several miles through the woods, they saw piles and piles of construction materials, construction trucks, and supplies. They knew - they were in the area where they would spend at least the next half a year. The road went all the way to the port.
Next to the port was Ether's Skyline ship. Even though the surrounded area then looked deserted, the cruise ship looked dazzlingly full of life. Outside the ship, two maids were waiting for them. Behind the two maids was the small bridge that bridged between the ship entrance and the port.
Keng drove the car to a complete stop. He then got out of the car to open the door for Yu Sha and Su Na before getting their luggage in the back. The two maids came down to introduce themselves and each grabbed a suitcase from Keng. The maids led Yu Sha and Su Na into the ship while wheeling the luggage for the two young ladies.
As they got inside the elevator, the older maid pressed the number 12 and turned to Su Na and Yu Sha. "You will have your individual suite. Your room is next to each other."
The elevator then stopped on the twelfth floor. They got off on the floor and the older maid took the lead. She proceeded to the left and walked down the long hallway.
At the end of the hallway, the older maid stopped, took out two cards and swiped their door opens. Their rooms were at the corner next to each other. The older maid turned around facing the two young ladies. "Miss Su Na, you take the room on the left, Miss Yu Sha you take the room on the right."
She handed them their room card. "You're free for the entire evening, dinner at 6 PM at Lili Garden Restaurant and if you missed the dinner, feel free to stop by the buffet in the cafeteria or order room service."
"Okay," the two young ladies replied and made their way into their room. They got a little bit of time left, enough time for them to unsettle their stuff.
Yu Sha threw her luggage next to her bed and rushed to open the balcony screen door. Her glowing face radiated with happiness. She ran up to the edge of the balcony and inhaled a sharp, relaxed breath of fresh sea air that seemed to have no trace of pollution. The sun was going down. One more hour and then the position of the sun would hit the horizon. Although, at that moment, the sunlight blazed above the horizon, and the clouds formed waves in the skies making it look like the ocean was in the sky and the sky was underneath the ocean.
Yu Sha was at a loss of words at such a beautiful breathtaking scene. While still reeling in the beauty of mother nature, a gust of wind blew by. Yu Sha took another deep breath feeling as if she could fly listening to the wind dancing like music around her. Loving the feel of the wind blowing through her, she stared right into the big sea lost in her own thoughts as if the sea had captured her soul.
In the next room, Su Na changed out of her clothes into her black bikini. She threw over a long red-pink floral maxi dress before taking out her facial products and makeup to organize them on the vanity. After that, she grabbed the cruise map on the bedside desk and studied the ship. Tonight was a free night. She would take advantage of the night sea.
***
At the Royal Palace, the prince was working in his office when someone knocked on the door. He halted and looked up when he heard the gentle knock on the other side of the door. "Come in."
An elderly butler who looked in his early 60s entered. His black and gray hair made him look younger than he actually was. He was the butler who had always tended to the prince since the prince was a kid.
"Butler Zeu?" The prince stood up.
"Prince, the two young ladies have arrived and checked in safely." Butler Zeu relayed the message. He turned around to leave but stopped at his place when he recalled something. He turned around to face the prince again. "King and Queen want you over for dinner."
The prince stilled. His expression debated for a brief moment, whether he should go over for dinner or not before he nodded positively. "I'll be there in a few hours."
Hours passed. The prince glanced at the clock on the wall. Although he wasn't feeling up to having dinner with his parents, he had to check in with them every now and then, otherwise, his mother would worry. He organized his desk neatly before he headed over to the main palace.
