Chapter 346 - Davita Part 2 (1/2)

”Yes my princess!” Xue shouted as she got up and bowed her head. ”Disgusting.” Princess Momo muttered as she disappeared into the forest.

Xue was exhausted, she barely slept when she got back. Xue's day always started at 4:00 in the morning. She needed to tend to the princess and prepare everything before hand in anticipation of her highness's awakening. Even though princess Momo always woke up late, Xue diligently orginzed the princess's day.

Xue would look over the princess's schedule that she wrote out the night before. She would then pick out three sets of outfits for the princess plus complimenting accesories. Though Princess Momo had no hair, beautiful black wigs would be used to make elaborate hair styles. Xue would personally wash, comb and dry the wigs and have them ready for when the princess was ready to dress.

Xue would then bring in water from the purified, imperial well located on the other side of the imperial palace and take the water back to the princess's room. She always used a shoulder pole to carry the buckets back but when the princess found out about Xue's little life hack she had the pole destroyed. Xue was ordered to bring the water back one bucket at a time. The whole trip took Xue 45 minutes to do, every morning and night.

When the tub in the princess's room was filled Xue would light a small fire to heat up the water. She would then add the princess's favourite oils and flowers to the bath. After she was done she would leave the fire on and then go to the kitchen and inspect the food being made. She always made sure that the staff followed the strict diet the princess needed.

9 times out of 10 the staff would sneak in sugar to the meals to make it sweater but Xue would catch them and make them redo the whole dish again. The staff would grumble and even curse her for denying their princess sweat food. The princess complained that Xue only made her eat disgusting food and sweats were banned.

The staff became enraged and had become openly hostile towards Xue. While Xue would take their insults and patiently wait until the meals were done. Then she would have the meals delivered to the room. The servents that help her would put the food outside of the princess's room and leave immediately making Xue set everything up on the table.

Xue would then check on the bath. If it was hot she would snuff the flames out but if it was warm she would stoke the flames instead. The princess like to have hot baths instead of warm ones and if the bath wasn't hot enough she would fly into a tantrum. Xue would then go back to the bedroom door and kneel. She would patiently wait for princess Momo to wake while her stomach grumbled.

Xue was not allowed to eat. Not until the princess was awake and even then it was only to sample her food for posion. Since Xue was a snake their was no worry of her dying from posion and was considered valuable. However it didn't mean she was completley immune to poison. If it was a strong poison Xue would feel immense pain and feel like she was dying but no one cared or bothered to take care of her.

They would always toss her into a corner and wait until the poison passed through her body. It could take 2 to 3 hours to pass, sometimes 5 if it was a complex poison. Xue hated the job but no one from the snake clans would ever allow a snake into the palace to act as a handmaid to a royal. It is considered an insult and shameful act to the snake and their family but then again Xue's family never regarded her as one of them. She was an albino and they were emerald green.

A light noise came from Princess Momo's bed. Xue lowered her head and clasped her hands. Waiting to her another sound. When she heard princess Momo groan as she stretched Xue would greet the princess. ”Good morning my princess. May the grace of Vita bless you today and grant you wisdom and beauty.”
