18 Invitation (1/2)

I withdrawn my hands and rested it to my waist. Inhaled the fresh air from the surrounding then calmly exhaled. I wipe off the sweat in my neck and face then looked around the place. I woke up 5 am and strolled around the place and I am really loving everything about this courtyard. I don't know why this used to be ”forbidden” or whatnot but I really love this place already. It's peaceful, refreshing, and calm..

”Rory! Where do I put this?”

Yeah. It's really nice. I could live like this-

”Uhmm. Over the extra room in South I guess?”

It has been five days since I transmigrated to this world. Time fly fast--

”Rory what about the lunch for later?”

fast by. I wonder how those girls are? Have they been---

”We'll prepare it after we cleaned the east side!”

I'm sure they been well. They are of course offspring off well kn----

”Rory! I saw something in the library!”

Well known clan...

”AHHHHH! RORY! IT'S A BIRD!”

”RUN!! RUN!”

I looked at the kids running around the hall. Just what the heck are this kid doing?

”Why are you all guys running around?” I asked as I opened the door leading to the corridor of east side.

”My lady, there's a bird in the library flying around so we...” Rory was out of breath as he speak. I looked at the five children in his back also out of breath. They really need some exercise. I should have started making routines for them.

”The bird won't hurt you all unless you attacked it. Just open up the doors and window so it can go out. ” I said to them as I walked towards the library. I looked up and saw three bird on the ceiling flying around. They must have been trapped yesterday when I opened the door.

”Poor birds.”

I approached the door and opened it wide. The bird seeing the lights started flying out the door. I looked up and stare at the birds flying out. It's a bird I'm not familiar with, but it looks closer to a peacock, although it is white in body and has a blue and red as its wing then doesn't have the fancy tail like the peacock.

”Greetings, my lady.” I was a bit startled when I saw a blonde young man at the side riding a red-brown horse. He went down and bowed slightly before smiling. He has a light skin and light blue eyes matching his blonde hair. He's wearing a dark green robe that seems to be wore by servants who's already serving someone.

”How may I help you?” I asked and went down to meet him. Rory followed me and looked at the blonde guy.

”Pardon me for appearing unannounced. I found the front to be empty and so I followed the noise leading here.” He explained which I just nod and smile. I don't really mind though. If I were him, I'll be the same, but probably it isn't the best conduct here. But this place is different still.

”It's alright. I wasn't able to assign someone to the front, so you did as you should.” I smiled. There's a glint of suprised looked in his eyes, but I wasn't sure since he smiled back immediately

”For my business here, I am tasked to deliver this month's supplies and this,” he reached in his robes and took out a red parchment and handed it out to me.

”This is the invitation for a banquet being held at the Zenith Palace as to welcome the ladies and be presented to the public and to His Highness, the Emperor.” I held the invitation a bit tight as I felt my heart beat a little faster. Maybe because I'm excited. A little nervous. Anxious. Just the thought of meeting a royalty and much more is the Emperor is too unreal still.
