Chapter 25: Start of the Party
"Ladies and gentlemen, you should all welcome our third ruler of the Crown Council, Princess Alisera!"
On the back of the host, right after he waved his hand to give attention to the door, it opened and came out was a Goddess in a velvet dress that smoothly flowed through the air with every stride of her feet in the glass shoes.
Many were dazzled and even the three sister maids that were following her back were looking proud as they were the ones who made her look that beautiful. If they don't have such skills, they couldn't stay as the princess' personal maids.
It was both a miracle and a gift that they were given an opportunity to work for the princess of their kingdom as personal maids instead of being sold to some unknown nobles. So, of course, they wouldn't take it for granted. They worked hard from morning to evening to make the most of their time.
If the princess was to get bored of them, she might just fire them on the spot which easily plays in their imagination.
And so, this was the result of their hard work, gratitude, and fear. Even though they were just maids, servants, they became professionals to continue as the princess' servants.
There was not much makeup needed for the princess to look otherworldly. Even Memi felt like a mortal in front of this princess. The princess's looks was surely a gift from the gods.
Memi hated it.
But as soon as the people were woken from the dazzling view they received, they looked at the boy that the princess was... clinging onto???
It would be understandable if the man she was clinging onto was the King but the King of Karan Kingdom is not here, right?
The one that was grunting like a raging bear was not the King of Karan Kingdom, right?? That golden crown on their heads were just a part of their costume to get treason as a prank, right?
Oh no...
Right after Princess Alisera were the two princes and they immediately saw the couple in the dark corner of the hall, their eyes widened, especially Prince Harold who was just glaring at Avion's back with contempt.
He had already met the King and Queen of Karan a few times and knew well how much they pamper their daughter. The two can't even imagine what chaos would happen if the King and Queen knew what Princess Alisera was doing right now for her welcome party.
On one of the crowds in the middle, Memi was staring at Prince Harold with a determined look, not wanting to look at Princess Alisera as it was giving her the feeling of defeat even though the princess was not an enemy. Due to this feeling of defeat, she wanted the first person to ever talk to Prince Harold so as soon as the applause finished and the party had officially begun, she directly went straight to the prince.
Prince Harold and Prince Julio were staring at the King and Queen with disbelief. They wanted to greet them as soon as possible. The orders and culture of being friendly to another kingdom were absolutely necessary. It was to show that they were accepting each other. In short, it was politically correct to greet them as soon as possible.
But that was not all, it was obvious that the King and Queen were exceptionally angry. So hurriedly, they went towards the King and Queen to greet and say their excuse so that they wouldn't get included by the conflict that will arise. This was so to exclude the Rianzares Kingdom and the Hansheles Kingdom.
The raging couple, the Karan's King and Queen saw Princess Alisera with Avion Teller. They were ready to pounce as if they were hungry wolves in front of a helpless rabbit. As they restrain themselves, they don't want anything right now but to interrogate their daughter and learn why she was acting that way while wanting to see how they will punish this unsightly man!
Meanwhile, Princess Alisera was staring intently towards Avion, never caring about her surroundings and what occasion she was in. She was happy that she gets to link arms with him after holding hands. She didn't even notice her parents.
Avion, on the other hand, had found the buffet on the table. It was the only thing he was looking at. After always eating bland fruits for a decade while treating himself flavorless meat from time to time. It was flavorless due to the lack of spices and knowledge to cook, in front of him was like heaven.
Suddenly, there was a movement.
Avion released his arm to get to the buffet fast. Not knowing any manners. How could he when he was all alone all his life? Who would teach him manners and common sense?
Princess Alisera was surprised but seeing the hungry expression of Avion, she followed him like a puppy even though she was the main character of that party.
The King and Queen quickly walked towards Princess Alisera. They still had an image to follow and running in a formal party was something forbidden to do, a noble child wouldn't even do that!
The two princes were about to bow to this royal couple but were ignored. They looked at each other with fearful expressions but proceeded to follow the King and Queen to have a little bit of their time to greet.
If the King and Queen were to reach Princess Alisera before they exclude themselves, it would be inevitable to include them in the princess's trouble.
Memi who was walking straight Prince Harold was about to bow too but was ignored by the worried prince. However, after thinking that Prince Harold was just following Princess Alisera, it just fanned the flame of her determination so she followed them.
Out of nowhere, there was a line that was moving like a snake. At the same time, when the musicians began to give atmosphere to the party, one man followed Memi.
Jhin and Van who were staring baffled at the beauty of Princess Alisera saw the man. Bulging nerves were then revealed on their faces when they noticed who this was. The mocking laugh echoed in their heads as they remembered their shameful acts. They were too ashamed to even look at each other.
But now, the cause of this shame was following Memi as if he was a crackhead, madly dancing.
After getting a big plate and a mountain of food on it, Avion saw the man who was dancing mad and he became amused of that man. That was when he noticed a line encircling the party, the dancing man following Memi following the two princes following the King and Queen following Princess Alisera and following him, he thought it was some kind of game and he never had a game before!
So Avion followed the dancing man, Kalin as he ate the mountain of food on his plate.
