The Royal Explorer (Completed)

Chapter 5

Her freshly ordered clothes were still in my bag.

 Ohh thanks Ela. Who would have known, our friendship would save me, even in various time zones.

I removed and unwrapped all the packages. Ela has forever had incomparable sense of dress and trends. So I did not expect anything that wouldn't be popular in the market.

In the 2069 market.

I opened all dresses and soon each one of them were lying on the bed. even though I liked all of them, none were deemed fit for 1441.

I still selected a yellow long one piece, having deep V shaped neck and a sharp wide slit at the side, from the ankle to just above your knee. But this was only 'maximum covered dress'. 

All the other dresses were either transparent, backless, or strip like just covering your breasts. I tied my hair up in a high pony tail since the weather was really humid here and I don't expect fans and air conditioners.

I had found pretty jewelries. I mean 'pretty heavy' jewelries in the box lying on the table in front of the mirror. And although original and beautiful, none went with my attire.

So I scanned through my bag, to find some spare pendant necklace and just selected one with a small crescent moon on it and paired it up with looped artificial earings.

It had been ages since I had seen gold. Gold jewelry were a thing of the past. No one in 2069 would wear original jewels.

I had put on the only black footwear that I had. The dress would definitely look great with the pair of lacy high heels that I had kept in the cabinet of my house. But this combination wasn't appearing so bad either.

I fixed a little of my makeup. I am glad I carry my basic make up kit along. I don't look forward to any sort of comfort for the next one year.

I went down along with that maid, who was here to invite me for the lunch. I am thankful she waited, otherwise I would have lost my way and would eat my lunch 2 days later. 

She was quiet throughout the way, keeping her head bowed down, walking behind me. I really wished to break the ice, but I was still figuring what to talk to humans who are around 600 years elder to me. so I just quietly walked along to where she took me. 

I entered a huge hall, too big to call it a dining room, although it did appear like one.

There were small tables covered with rich fabric. Vessels of copper and brass and food items that could serve a city.

The room was smelling delicious, to say the least. All the royal men, sitting in a circle waiting for food to be served.

I looked at all of them, while all the heads turn to look at me. my eyes met with the King. His, scanning my outfit, looking at me with pure bewilderment. 

I tried to pull the fabric a little up to cover the hint of my cleavage. But I know the dress is not meant for that attempt. I smiled weakly at the emperor who looked forever annoyed with my existence. 

I mean , why not.

"is there some sort of party" I wished I carried English to hindi language translator with me.

"paa-ra-ty" one of his men tried to pronounce.

"celebration I mean." I managed to find the hindi word for it.

"what sort of celebration? This looks like acelebration to you." I heard a female's voice replying. I turned around to find a Goddess standing in front of me. Literally
