Conquest of Magic

Part 32

I felt nervous. Finally, after all this time I am going to meet him in person. Excitement and nervousness settled in the pit of my stomach.

A little bit of fear and self-consciousness overtook me when I looked at myself. I was covered in dirt and dried blood. How can I go to him like this?

The queen looked at me knowingly and gestured me toward the bathroom.

"I will take my leave now. Mia must be waiting." She said walking towards the door gracefully.

"Wait, where should I meet him". I asked a bit unsure.

"Get dressed and follow your instincts you will get to him." She said and chuckled before closing the door behind her. I sighed.

With that, I walked toward the bathroom and when I opened the door I got stunned. The view before me was nothing short of magnificent - an understatement, in fact. The back wall was lined with long, stone-framed windows that overlooked a snow-covered landscape. The cosmic sky above was a beautiful mix of pink, purple, and grey hues, adorned with twinkling stars that sparkled like diamonds.

Without hesitation, I left the windows open to fully immerse myself in the beauty of this magical place. And there, before me, was a huge bathtub that looked like a mini swimming pool. To the right of it, I saw a beautifully carved, floor-length mirror with a cabinet filled with an array of towels, shampoos, conditioners, toothbrushes, slippers, and other amenities. To the left, I saw a collection of swimsuits, body scrubs, oils, and other items.

As I stepped into the warm water, I felt my body immediately relax. The cold wind softly blew against my face, and the soothing sounds of chirping birds enveloped me, offering a sense of peace and comfort in this unknown land. "So good," I mumbled into the quiet air surrounding me.

After I cleansed myself properly I stepped out of the small pool half-heartedly, wrapped a towel around and dried my hair with a dryer. I opened what I thought was a walk-in closet which looked somewhat similar to the one in William's castle but here I found the clothes which were similar to what I owned in my human world. It was exactly my style of clothing which made me smile brightly. The other side of the closet had beautiful gowns and matching shoes of all types along with jewellery. I paused and chewed my bottom lips softly. I looked at a white knee-length off-shoulder gown. Will he like this dress or will he think that I am trying to impress him? I shook my head of those thoughts before hurriedly untying the towel from my body and sliding myself into the beautiful dress. The fabric was soft and snug against my skin and instantly brought warmth to my cold body. The outfit was perfect when I looked into the mirror but frowned looking at my face. I looked tired and exhausted. I found few cosmetics on the table and I quickly took a compact powder and tapped it on the dark circles.

Excitement bubbled in my stomach sending a tingling feeling all over my body. I wanted to meet him so badly yet still I was a bit hesitant to step outside this room. What would he look like in person, will he like me or hate me for deciding to fight along with the vampires? Will he resent me?

I sighed. It's not the time for useless thoughts, let's face it. I thought and stepped outside the room. There was a large set of double doors on the farther side of my left. I followed my instincts and headed towards the large set of double doors on the far left. As I walked, the sparkling lights from the hanging chandeliers and the moonlight reflecting off the walls illuminated my path like sparkling diamonds.

The sound of classical music drifted towards me, and I felt my heart race even faster. Pushing open the double doors, I was immediately transported into a beautiful garden, just like the one I had seen in my first dream when I met Stanley.

Words failed me as I took in the stunning scenery before me. The sight was simply breathtaking, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions rushing through me. It was as if every flower, every tree, and every blade of grass was radiating beauty and life, filling me with a sense of wonder and awe.
