章節 6: Chapter 6 Veserys Targaryen
The Cerdic visibly relaxed upon seeing Valarissa return safely and greeted her with a genuine smile of relief, saluting her. Valarissa paid just nodded to the other party as she entered her chambers. The two maids were still fast asleep, so she shook one of them vigorously and tapped her on the shoulder, calling out, "Elena, wake up."
"Oh,wha..?, Princess!.. your awake" She exclaimed, rousing the other maid from her slumber.
Suddenly, both of them dropped to their knees, realizing their negligence. "Please forgive us, Princess" they pleaded, aware that it was their duty to take care of the unconscious Princes, now they had neglected thier duty and even the princess had woke them up.
"No need to kneel, I understand that you must be tired from all these day's of hard work. Stand up and fetch me some hot water for a bath," instructed Valarissa.
Upon hearing Valarissa's casual tone, the maids promptly stood up. "Yes, Princess, we will attend to it immediately," they said, rushing out of the room without even looking at the time.
As the two maids hurried away, Valarissa made her way to her bed and sat cross-legged she was going to mediate to calm her self and the body before the bath.
She sat there, deep in meditation while breathing in a peculiar pattern, time passed as he was completely immersed in mediation she felt the natural energy or magical energy of the world.
Valarissa began to absorb the energy at a slow pace, allowing it to flow through her meridians. With her knowledge of meridian from modern-day books , many theories from Kalaripayattu and rich imagination.
she absorbed and directed a small amount energy through her meridians as test, as she was still unfamiliar with the process. However, soon the surrounding energy was drawn into her body like a vortex automatically. As the energy flowed through her meridians, she felt its effects on her bloodline and physical being, as if they were being altered or optimized.
While practicing, her senses became heightened. Although she couldn't create a complete training technique, she managed to develop a prototype technique that would suffice for now. She was confident that she could gradually enhance it over time. Sensing footsteps approaching from outside, she stopped her practice and knew that her maids had returned.
Elena entered the room, accompanied by more maids carrying barrels. "Princess, the hot water is ready," Elena informed as she approached Valarissa to assist her with undressing for the bath.
While Elena and the maids assisted Valarissa in bathing, she noticed the absence of her other maid and inquired, "Elena, where is Grace? Wasn't she with you?"
"Princess, I sent her to inform the maesters that you are awake," Elena replied.
"Is there something that you need her do, my princess?" Elena inquired.
"Oh!, There is nothing as such, Please tell me everything that occurred while I was unconscious and how is father?" Valarissa asked.
Remaining loyal as always, Elena promptly began recounting what she knew, including various rumors, without any hesitation.
After a while, Valarissa washed away all the perspiration and dirt accumulated over the week. She stepped out of the barrel, dried herself, and changed into fresh clothes.
Suddenly, the guard informed her about the arrival of the maesters. She allowed them in, and they promptly began examining her body. After assessing Valarissa's condition, everyone wore a stunned and confused expression.
The maesters exchanged glances, their brows furrowed in deep concentration. Valarissa could sense the tension in the room, and her heart started to race with worry.
"What is it? What did you find?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly.
One of the maesters, a middle-aged man with a long white beard, cleared his throat before speaking. "Princess Valarissa, we have made a rather perplexing discovery," he began, his tone grave. "It appears that during your unconscious state, your body underwent some sort of transformation."
Valarissa's eyes widened in disbelief as she wasn't expecting them to find this "A transformation? What do you mean?"
The maester took a deep breath, trying to find the right words to explain the situation. "Your physical appearance have changed, you muscles and bones seems to strengthened, we are unsure whether this is gift or curse"
"Sigh!, That was it ?, you Oldman made me think I had some incurable disease with the way you looked" Valarissa commented as she glanced at these old men.
"Excuse me, Princess, may I inquire if you are experiencing any discomfort?" an elderly maester asked hesitantly.
Valarissa replied truthfully, "None, except for feeling hungry."
The old man nodded, satisfied that there were no issues, and looked at Valarissa as if she were a living miracle before him.
After some time, they left the chamber one by one. Grace entered with a light meal in her hands and explained, "Princess, the maesters have instructed that you should not have heavy meals for the day." She handed the meal to Valarissa.
Valarissa responded, "I understand. You can leave it there and go rest for today."
"No need, my lady" they said immediately.
"Don't worry go take some rest" Valarissa said to them but seeing the reluctant expression she said with serious tone" that an order from the princess."
"As ordered princess" they bowed as they left the chamber.
While she was having her meal, she was once again interrupted by the guard announcing her father's arrival. Before she could stand up, the king pushed open the door and entered, embracing her tightly. His eyes were filled with tears as he said," your having your meal, you can continue i can wait"
"Don't mind that father " she replied as she place the rest ti the side table.
"You're awake and we'll it seems the gods haven't abandoned me, I thought I had lost you."
Valarissa embraced her father's love and concern, and they stood like that for a moment, his tears staining her skin.
Eventually, they pulled away from each other, and the king wiped away his tears with a shaky hand. Valarissa could see the worry etched into his face, the lines of age and stress deepening. She reached out and held his hand, offering him a small smile.
