Chapter 306 D-Day

4 days had gone by quickly.... and today, the entire Capital was in festivity.

.

The celebrations which had been going on for 3 days now.... was like a riot of color, as everyone was hyped up than usual.

The streets were filled with Music and song, as the festive beats continuously lifted the people’s spirits.

They clapped, danced and drank.... until they could no longer stand still.

.

They wobbled, like worms.... as they tried to walk forward.

Some leaned on the walls, while others crawled in the ground.... as they tried to find their homes.

In fact, the streets were all filled with people, sleeping beside the roads, bars, inns, and market areas.

.

But even with all this going on, something seemed out of place with the celebration.

It was as if they had been forced to commemorate the day... as many of them tried to get home, but were stopped by numerous guards with swords.

.

Fear crept into many, and so they turned to ale for comfort.

They didn’t have a choice, since they were too scared not to celebrate.

Their Tyrant of a ruler, was turning 45 today.

And if they didn’t continue the festivities... well, all they could say was that the consequences would be unimaginable.

As it would mean that they wished their king death instead.

.

’Lalalalalala!’

’Clap! Clap! Clap!’

’Dindindindindin!’

Within the Capital, the streets had been filled with paid dancers and actors... who tried to make everyone else dance and sing in celebration.

Also, within the bars and restaurants.....there were numerous storytellers, who told brave, noble and righteous tales about their king.

.

These people had been dancing, singing and telling tales for 3 days straight in rotation.

And at this point, they were truly exhausted!

Their feet heart, their voices cracked.... and their throats were constantly dry.

Singing continuously in the early spring weather... was really damaging to their bodies.

.

Yup!

It was March 26th..... the first few days of spring.

But one shouldn’t be fooled, as there were still heaps of snow lying about the streets.

And in those heaps, one would find several drunken people freezing to death.

Even when the rain fell 3 days ago.... many of them still had to take refuge within the restaurants and pubs.

Essentially... no one dared to ho home home, as the show had to go on for their king.

.

And at this point, they truly wished that the day could pass by quickly.

They thought of the next day as their salvation.

’Lalalalallalala!’

’Clal! Clap! Clap!’

And just like that, they continued their celebrations with their salvation in mind.

.

But unlike the festive noisy streets, the palace was more focused on preparing for the big day.

Over the course of 3 weeks, they had been clearing all the snow with the help of brooms that were made from twigs and tree branches.

As for icy parts, they used sharp spears to break them... as well as poured boiling water on the surfaces.

.

Even if snow fell again, they would still need to do the same repetitive actions all over again.

The palace was a constantly visited place for all the nobles, decision makers and knights within the Capital.

As they either had to take assignments personal from their king... or escort their masters as guards to the palace, even if they didn’t have an audience with the king.

They could wait for their masters in the gardens.

.

Sitting in a large circular pool bath filled with water, milk, and lavender..... numerous royal women were currently being attended to at the same time.

Their arms were stretched sideways, and their wet long luscious hairs, were all left dangling on their chests.... as multiple maids unhurriedly scrubbed their body carefully, lest they roughened their skins.

.

The maids reddened their lips by pricking it with needles..... and the top layer of their toenails were scrapped off using a knife.

And at the end, they let the women soak in the milky bath for another 30 minutes.

It was believed that the combination of cow’s milk, lavender, and water.... could make any woman’s features radiate like the sun’s magnificent light.

.

In the bath, all 3 queens... as well as Cary, were all soaking quietly within the milky mixture.

\"So... are we all going to keep making this awkward?\" The first queen asked sarcastically, as she looked at the other queens within the pool.

\"Whether it’s awkward or not, what does it have to do with you?\"

\"Please, do us a favor and SHUT YOUR TRAP!!!!\"

\"_\"

.

\"2nd and 3rd mother..... even though I respect you all, I cant have any of you talk to my mother like that..... so please, mind your tone!\"

\"And who invited you into this conversation?

What?.... your mother didn’t teach you how to keep quiet in the presence of your elders?\"

\"Tsk... she’s just a spoiled brat, nothing more.\"

’Splash!!\"

The first queen woke up in anger, and slapped the milky water.

.

\"That’s enough!!

How dare you talk to my daughter like that?\"

\"So what if we did?

Just what are you going to do about it?\"

\"I suggest you sit your bloated ass down, before I assist you with that.\"

\"How dare you call me bloated?\" The first queen raged.

\"What?..... do you need a mirror or something?

Just look at that huge waist you have there.... coupled with that bulging belly of yours.

Hahahha... if that isn’t bloated, then I don’t know what is.\"

\"That’s it!!

I’ve had enough!!\"

.

Immediately, all 4 women pounced on each other like cats.

’Splash!’

’Scriieeetch!!’

\"Ahh.... my hair!

You b**ch!!!\"

\"Hahahhahhahah.... you’re still as weak as ever, old hag!\"

\"_\"

5 minutes later, their maids who had heard the commotion.... came in and separated the women, who were busy scratching and clawing at each other.

\"Let me go!

I’ll kill her!!\"

\"Kill me?

Hahahahha!!

Alright, come then old hag.... I’m waiting!\"

\"_\"

.

At the end, everyone left the bathroom with 1 or 2 scars on their faces.

In their minds, they all had one thought.

’Hmmp!!

Just you wait!!

After tonight, I’ll show all of you who’s boss!!’
