BXBX NOVEL Chapter 266 - Her Residence
Facing the pond on the island was a double-storeyed house with elaborate balconies. There were large open spaces, enough for a variety of activities that were hosted regularly. And, their housing setup was made to encircle the pond, shielding it from the eyes of others on the outside.
This kept the scenery exclusive to the members of the house. At the front was the main house where Re'Bah and her husband lived. It contained numerous rooms, a spacious living room, and a large balcony that faced the pond in the centre.
There were training rooms, training fields, meditation rooms, storage rooms, etc. There were even forging rooms, medicine brewery, library, etc. Anything one needed in their life existed in the place.
And trailing from the two sides of the main house, circling the pond were houses meant for their children. They had a shared corridor that circled the pond and was also the path used to travel from one house to another the quickest.
There were seven houses in total in the place. Of them, one was for each sibling, the sixth was meant for guests to stay, while the final was meant for the parents of Re'Bah. At present, their house was empty and maintained by servants as they had gone to live in the Western Settlement for a couple of years for training.
Moreover, they also needed someone to manage the business in the Burkurel Re Clan's Western Settlement. After all, the entire Western Settlement was their property to manage. Any profit earned from the place went directly into the pockets of Re'Bah after the necessary taxes were paid to the Burkurel Royal Clan.
It was the perks of being one of the five heads. Though, as she didn't have control over the Central Settlement, Re'Bah didn't have the authority to raise an army. This was one of the reasons she was trying to wrestle control and become the Central Lake Head.
That way, she would truly obtain control over the Burkurel Re Clan. And, it wasn't as if the ambition was fuelled by her alone. It was something she had inherited from her parents. And, to help her, her parents had retreated to the Western Settlement in hopes of obtaining that final push to become a Martial Master.
Re'Kha wasn't aware of most of the inner workings that happened behind the scenes. Accompanied by a couple of servants, she arrived at her house, one that was positioned right next to the guest house, situated almost opposite to the main house.
It was because she was the fourth born among her siblings. As she was escorted to her house, Re'Kha looked at the servant, "Where's Rim?"
"She's preparing your house, Young Lady." The servant replied with a bow.
"Alright," Re'Kha nodded, arriving before her house to see that it was the same as she had left it. The last time she was here was before her trip to chase after the Blinded Ghost. And now, she returned after four months had passed, losing her Clan's Magic Artifact in the process.
She entered her house, arriving at the living room as she noticed a servant rush out from a nearby room and bow towards her immediately, "Welcome home, Lady Re'Kha. I apologise for not coming out to greet you early."
"It's fine," Re'Kha waved her hand, looking at the other servant, "Leave the bag with Rim."
"Yes, Young Lady." The servant nodded and left the place, busying herself with other matters now that the master of the place had returned.
Rim took her bag immediately, taking it with her as she intended to segregate the items within accordingly, wash the older clothes, and place the remaining in their designated places. Re'Kha had just intended to wash herself when another servant arrived at her house's entrance, "Young Lady, the Master has informed you to arrive for breakfast in the morning. The General will also be there."
"Alright," Re'Kha nodded, watching the servant leave. Typically, women took up administrative positions within the city while the men took up commanding positions in the army. So, in any Harmoniser Clan, they were addressed accordingly.
Re'Bah was called the West Lake Head while Re'Rak was addressed as a General. As for their children, if they took up any official positions, they would be addressed as such, or otherwise would be simply referred to as Young Master or Young Lady.
"Rim, bring me dinner later. I haven't eaten yet." Re'Kha said as she headed to take a bath.
"It'll be ready, Lady Re'Kha." The servant Rim said. She was her personal servant, in charge of all her needs. The other servants were in charge of more grunt work like washing the clothes, cleaning up the courtyard, the pond, etc.
Rim was in charge of maintaining everything in the house of Re'Kha. Everyone had servants according to their needs and necessities. As for Re'Kha, since she didn't take up a governing position yet, she had no workload. So, she didn't have any need for servants other than Rim.
Later in the night, Re'Kha coloured her eyes, feeling that it would be safer to do it every night. This way, she wouldn't risk anyone seeing the colour of her eyes. Moreover, when she went to sleep, Re'Kha used the brush Magic Artifact to apply a coat over her entire body, remembering the date she applied.
Using the light from a lantern, she looked at the mirror, unable to notice any changes. But, as Mu'Tua had already explained to her, Re'Kha wasn't worried. After all, the brush Magic Artifact's effect ensured her hair would be blue even as it grew. She didn't need to reapply the colour as and when her hair grew.
That was what set it apart from a normal dye. And that level of detail was necessary to infiltrate into an enemy race's territory.
After she was done with everything, Re'Kha stored the Magic Artifact in her storage ring, sleeping as she thought, 'The entire Burkurel Ju Clan had been wiped out. Now, I no longer have any clues. Just what happened?'
