“Do you like tea?” she asked softly.
“Ah… Yes, please.”
The man was still stunned.
The woman before him was a legend in this Empire. She was adored
like a living deity, perhaps more venerated than the Empress herself. Yet,
from where he stood, just a couple of steps away from her in this tiny
kitchen, she seemed like any ordinary woman, simply pouring tea with a
soft, serene smile on her lips. She wasn’t even especially beautiful. Her
chestnut hair was held in a high and large ponytail, but still so long it fell
down to her lower back. She wore no makeup, except perhaps some for her
rose-tinted lips, and was actually a bit skinny.
Her green dress wasn’t any
better than those of the servants here, and she only wore a couple of gold
jewelry items too. Moreover, he just couldn’t get used to how pale her skin
was. He’d heard of tribes, in the south, with white-colored skin, but he had
never witnessed it himself…
“You look tired,” she said, presenting him with a cup. “It must have
been a long journey.”
“It was, Your Highness,” said the old man, taking it. “It took me
over a month to come here, Your Highness.”
“You may call me Cassandra,” she chuckled. “Your Highness is a bit
too ceremonial for me… What should I call you?”
He stood a bit more upright, trying to forget how dirty he ought to
look right now. He had no money to buy clean clothes and wore the same
thing for days. Most people would have treated the old man like any beggar,
with his messy beard and tired eyes. Yet, this woman didn’t even show any
sign of discomfort.
“This old man’s name is Yassim, my lady. Yassim Hemelion the
Wise.”
“Well then, Yassim the Wise,” she repeated with a gentle smile,
“please tell me about the Eastern Kingdom.”
The man’s hands froze on the cup. He had followed Lady
Cassandra, the Water Goddess, outside the throne room, a bit relieved to
escape the arrogant Empress’ gaze, but he had no idea of their real
destination or why she was even listening to his demands. She had first
stopped by this small kitchen to make the tea. Seeing this living deity
pouring tea in a kitchen didn’t seem to surprise anyone, as all the servants
coming in and out acted as if this was a regular thing that happened, quickly
bowing before moving on with their tasks.
Now, his cup still in his hands, he kept following her a bit helplessly
as Cassandra walked out, back to one of the large corridors of the palace.
She was walking slowly, and clearly waiting to hear his answer… The man
took a deep breath.
“…Our King is still young, Lady Cassandra. He is a brave, young
man, but he didn’t become our King easily. After so many wars and battles,
our people were famished, angry, and lost.”
“It must have been hard.”
“Yes, my lady,” sighed the old man. “Very much so. The civil war
left many cities in ruins and our roads stained with blood. We are struggling
to bring all our systems back to a functioning, let alone flourishing, state.
