Chapter 256 Soft, Velvety Skin
Fifteen minutes later, the maid helped Emmeline out of the bathtub. Then, Emmeline was asked to liedown on a massage table.
The thin, petite masseuse began massaging Emmeline’s body, starting from her neck all the way downto her feet. After the massage session was done, Emmeline took a quick wash. Then, the masseuseapplied some lotion and essential oils to her skin and rubbed it all over her body.
The entire process took more than two hours to be completed.
Emmeline had almost dozed off by the end of the session. When she opened her eyes and saw thecondition of her skin, she was shocked by how smooth and supple it had become.
My skin feels absolutely amazing right now! Wouldn’t the ladies go crazy if they knew that there weresuch methods to achieve such soft, velvety skin?!
“We’re using a secret method that was practiced by the Natryan royalties.” The masseuse noticed thelook of bewilderment in Emmeline’s eyes.
“What’s your name?” Emmeline’s eyes shone with excitement and curiosity as she looked at themasseuse. “Do you work here?”
“You can call me Summer.” Summer Rowen introduced herself, “I applied for a job here since theywere offering their employees very high pay.”
“Don’t you feel scared working at a place like this? It’s as if the palace lord is the demon himself! You’dnever know what might happen next working for a man like him!” Emmeline said.
“I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t scared. Just look at what happened to Mr. Linden. Unfortunately, oncea person gets accepted for a position here, the person won’t get to leave this place of their own freewill. They’d have to work here until they were deemed useless,” Summer explained.
“Do you know the palace lord’s name?” Emmeline asked, “Why does he wear a mask all the time?”
“I don’t know his name. I don’t even dare to look him in the eye. I’m just trying to do my job and makeas much money as possible so that I can send money to my family back home.”
Emmeline fell silent as Summer mentioned her family. She could feel tears coming to her eyes.
Sun, Moon, and Star must have been scared and worried when they found out that I was missing. Theyprobably cried a lot.
Did Daisy and Sam inform Benjamin about my disappearance? I hope Benjamin won’t tell MasterRobert about this. Master would definitely ask Waylon to come and look for me.
That would be one of the worst-case scenarios ever! I wouldn’t get to enjoy my freedom as much as Idid before… I hope Benjamin will keep quiet about this.
What about Abel? Would he try to look for me if he were to learn about my disappearance?
Hah… I even find myself missing you a little, Abel.
Sigh… I should stop thinking about all that. I’m counting on Daisy and the others to look after mychildren. I should focus on finding a way to get out of here!
I can make the antidote to counteract the effects of the Vampire Dust. However, all of my herbs andingredients are stored in the lab back at the cafe.
This lady, Summer, might be my only chance to get access to the ingredients I need.
“Summer.” Emmeline began, “Since you need to prepare for the milk bath and the massage session,do you happen to have access to ingredients like herbs and spices?”
“Why are you asking about that, Miss?” Summer was giving Emmeline a manicure.
Emmeline explained, “Well, I’m about to have my period. Usually, I would make a home remedy thatcould help relieve menstrual cramps by using several herbal ingredients.”
“I see.” Summer shook her head. “I don’t think I have what you need since the ingredients I use aremostly inedible.”novelbin
“You can tell the person in charge of purchasing that you’ve changed some of the ingredients for themilk bath. I’ll write down what I need, and you can tell them to get those instead.”
Summer paused briefly. Then, she said, “I think that might work. I’ll try and get the ingredients for youthen.”
“Thank you!” Emmeline grinned widely at Summer.
After they were finally done with everything, Summer helped Emmeline put on a new nightgown. Then,they came out of the bathroom.
Emmeline asked for a piece of paper and a pen. Then, she wrote down several ingredients and handedthe paper to Summer.
“I just need these. Thank you so much again!”
As Summer was putting the folded paper away, someone knocked on the door.
The voice of the man with a mask came from behind the door. “Emmeline, open the door!”
