Chapter 405: Advice to Women
Speaking of opulence, there weren’t many people as, with every territory, this was a luxury.
At this, the aborigines couldn’t help looking at the woman who seemed to be a regular here, but did not ask.
They proceeded to look around to see a fitting alcove for them to soak. They chose a mid-sized one with warm water in the end. It was located near the corners and had couches and tables on the side of the pool. “Want to bathe together?”
Juni nodded and took off her robe to hang in the designated racks, revealing her curvaceous form.
The other two did the same and they entered the warm waters, relaxed. The women hummed, sight creating a beautiful picture.
If men were here, they would definitely fill a small pool with their nosebleeds.
The maids and a few others also entered at this time, but they told them to go play on their own, leaving the three women alone again.
“Ah… this is nice…” Vanessa said, and Cassandra hummed in response, relaxing in the nice fragrant warmth of the place.
“Hmm…”
Juni smiled and looked at the two. “Soon, some of these pools would have herbs in them.
“Oh?”
“Yes, very relaxing. They could treat stress, body pains, smoothen skin, and the like.”
“That sounds amazing!” Veronica said, admiring. Cassandra couldn’t help but send subtle glances at the other woman.
Or more specifically: her skin. The other woman’s skin was so white and smooth. There was nearly no blemish.
Cassandra thought that her skin could not compare to the other women.
Cassandra couldn’t help but admire and envy. She had always been tomboyish and the only reason she was only always well-kept was because of her maid.
And this was well-kept compared to other women she knew. It really didn’t compare to the woman in front of her.
Normally, she wouldn’t care. But who told her to fall in love?
“Your skin is so good. How do you maintain it?”
Juni smiled at the beautiful Aborigine woman. She had heard that a group visited their territory and Juni, a proud citizen, was determined to sell it.
“Actually, up until I got here, my skin has become extremely rough, and even darker,” she said. While it was not much worse than how the noble aborigine’s skins were, she was an actress so her standards were high.
Anyway, Juni’s skin had returned to its previous smoothness thanks to Althea, whom she contacted and obtained customized goods for a lot of gold.
She had to be beautiful again, there was a man she wanted to attract back to her.
“I struck a deal with Ms. Althea—she makes a lot of beauty products—and I obtained advanced samples of her items. She agreed because I paid to be a guinea pig.”
“Guinea pig?” They asked, unfamiliar with the term. Juni chuckled as she remembered the cultural differences between them.
“A trialist,” She kindly explained.
Cassandra stared at the other woman. “It’s amazing…” Veronica nodded adamantly, eyes shining.
“The shop should be open in a few days. You can buy it then.”
“Hmm.”
“How does Altera compare to other territories you know?”
Follow new episodes on the "N0vel1st.c0m".
“Can’t compare. Altera is absolutely superior. At least in terms of lifestyle.”
“Oh?”
“I’ve been to a city and dozens of towns… Although the life there was opulent, it isn’t as comfortable as here.”
Juni blinked, a bit surprised, and smiled in the end. “That’s a relief…”
There was a comfortable silence for a while, which was broken when Cassandra asked “What was it like in your place?”
“What do you mean?” Juni asked, a little confused.
“I mean the place… where you come from..”
“Oh?” Juni voiced out, surprised at their curiosity.
“People’s outlooks are different,” Cassandra said, blushing a bit. “We’re curious what kind of lives you people led before coming here.”
Veronica nodded, “For one, I’m surprised to see two elders were women…”
“Even women advanced in age could hold power,” Cassandra added.
Cassandra heard from Lulu that Gill’s mother was in charge of all diplomacy work, and this was an incredibly heavy job that was given only to some of the most trusted people of the lord.
Juni didn’t answer for a while, trying to word Terran in simpler terms.
“Well, in our world, although there were still a lot of inequality and injustices, most have a lot of opportunities to get out and succeed.”
“Everyone was free and that helps the psyche, even if nothing happened yet.”
“Of course, there are still some… injustices,” she said, eyes darkening a little at a few memories. “But most of us don’t lose hope in getting out of quagmires, and that is enough.”
“Hm..”
Veronica paused, looking at her. “That’s much more than what other women could wish for in their lifetimes.”
“Well, in our world, women can have great ambitions,” Juni began, finding it in herself to guide these poor women out of the harsh patriarchal brainwashing of this world.
“Women are just as good as men,” Juni said, “Although we use… different approaches sometimes, it doesn’t mean we have less of an impact in the world.”
The women nodded, slight inspiration twinkling in their eyes, before they sighed and relaxed again. Veronica stretched her arms in thought. “One problem at a time, at this time I can’t even get a hold of my future lover.”
The girls smiled, knowing the topic was about to shift to the universal favorite topic of women: Men.
Veronica then shifted to Cassandra, “At least you got yours…”
The purple-haired woman flushed and shook her head, “Yes, I am happy. But I see couples here… and I can’t help but envy them.”
Juni leaned over, “Your lover is Terran?” she asked, intrigued. “I am familiar with Terran men.”
The two women immediately looked at her as if she were their master, and the two girls immediately went to describe their situation.
Because they weren’t so close, for better or for worse, no names were mentioned at all.
The descriptions were very vague either, and Juni wouldn’t have imagined the love of her life had already moved on.
Juni looked at Veronica first, “Romance isn’t his priority yet. To get him, you’ve got to help him reach his goals somehow.”
Then to Cassandra. “It could mean that he’s shy, but it’s likely that means he’s not ready to commit yet. That is his issue, not yours.”
Women here had low status. Unconsciously or not, they usually take on the inferior take in a relationship.
Juni, as a feminist, wasn’t going to let it be easily!
The women relaxed and chatted, smiles on their faces, and with quite a few things changed in their minds along the way.
