Face of Karma

New Boss

Two Years later...

Jan Di's eyes slowly fluttered open, struggling to adjust to the dim light filtering through the opulent room. The throbbing ache in her head made it difficult to concentrate, but as her vision cleared, she found herself lying in a sumptuous bed adorned with intricate embroidery and delicate linens. Above her, a magnificent chandelier cast a soft glow, illuminating the room in a warm, golden light.

Struggling to sit up, Jan Di's gaze drifted to the billowing blue canopy that swayed gently in the breeze from an open window, offering a glimpse of the lush, sprawling palace gardens beyond. Disoriented and puzzled, she noticed that she was draped in luxurious white robes adorned with elaborate gold threading, a stark contrast to her usual attire.

A glint of light from a nearby table caught her eye, and she realized with astonishment that a magnificent crown lay there, confirming her suspicions of being in a place fit for royalty. Gingerly stepping out of bed, her eyes widened as the soft clouds underfoot led her to the window, offering a breathtaking vista of cascading waterfalls, shimmering pools, and vibrant foliage that adorned the palace grounds.

"Where am I?" Jan Di murmured to herself, her voice barely above a whisper. "Shouldn't I be dead after falling off the cliff?" Memories of the harrowing fall flooded her mind, yet here she was in an extravagant room that seemed straight out of a fairy tale. As she absorbed the splendor that surrounded her, she couldn't shake the feeling that this might all be a dream, despite the vividness of the luxurious furnishings and the intricate, mesmerizing details adorning every corner of the grand room.

The intricate patterns on the ancient tapestries that hung from the walls whispered tales of bygone eras, while the faint scent of exotic flowers wafted through the room, mingling with the hint of distant music playing somewhere within the palace. Jan Di's fingers brushed against the soft, silken drapes that framed the window, and she marveled at the delicate craftsmanship that went into creating such opulence.

In the distance, she caught sight of elegant peacocks strutting through the gardens, their iridescent plumage shimmering in the sunlight. The sound of a distant waterfall filled the room, adding to the enchanting atmosphere that surrounded her. Jan Di couldn't help but feel a sense of unreality creeping over her, as if she had stepped into a different realm altogether, one filled with mystery, beauty, and secrets waiting to be uncovered.

...

As Jan Di stepped across the threshold into the royal bedroom, her breath caught in her throat. Her eyes widen in sheer amazement, taking in the grandeur that unfolded before her. The harmonious blend of ancient and modern design left her momentarily rooted to the spot, her heart racing with the thrill of witnessing such splendor.

She moved slowly through the room, her fingers trailing over the rich textures of velvet and silk, marveling at the intricate carvings and the gleaming marble. The bespoke scent that fills the air is both comforting and exotic, stirring a sense of wonder within her. She gazed up at the canopy above the bed, its modern elegance juxtaposed against the timeless majesty of the gilded bed frame, and she couldn't help but feel as though she'd been transported through time.

Jan Di approached the windows once more, drawing back the heavy curtains with a gentle tug. The kingdom stretched within the clouds of fog and mist out before her—a tapestry of nature and civilization that was breathtaking in its scope. She turned back to the room, her expression one of profound appreciation and quiet reverence for the artistry and thoughtfulness that went into every detail.

In the opulent room, every exquisite detail conveyed a rich history of royalty from the past, present, and future. Jan Di found herself immersed in an ambience of regal opulence that was simultaneously breathtaking and intimately personal. Confined within those walls was a time capsule of grandeur that transcended mere material wealth; it was an ethereal tapestry woven with threads of ancestors' stories, dreams of the present rulers, and aspirations yet to unfold. The room pulsated with a majestic energy that whispered the secrets of the royal lineage to anyone who dared to listen—a sanctuary where past, present, and future mingled in a harmonious dance of opulence and splendor.
