Surprisingly, Mary and the Lancia's knight's aren't arrived yet. But, it doesn't mean that Cecilia can't be shine.
Lancia's household maids have extraordinary skill to make her look stunning for today's event.
Wearing long simple dark blue evening gown and white pointed high heels. A set of white pearl jewelry was on her ear and neck, make her look classy and elegant.
She only uses light natural make up that suitable on her age.
Cecilia was the one who asked them to make her hairdo as simple as possible. That's why, the maids didn't do anything to her black hair except brush it before put one small hair clip made from pearl on the left side of her head. Of course, she wore the corsage bracelet on her right wrist.However, she can't help but nervous. After all, this is her first time to attend such a formal banquet in the palace.
"You look good today, My Daughter." Duke Lan
"Congratulation on your birthday, His Majesty." Armano bowed and Cecilia, who stand beside him, was doing the same. "May the sun of Atrazal's Empire, shine brighter than before. Please accept our small gift to celebrate this spectacular event."His daughter knitting her eyebrow because she's noticing no warmness on his voice. It's almost looked like Armano was mocking him.Duke Lancia smile gently and took out a brown envelope inside his suit. The Emperor raised his hand and Nolan, the Crown Prince, walk approached him to take the gift.In a brief moment, he stole a glance at the Duke's daughter. He felt a bit disappointed to see her who seem already moved on. Nolan didn't see any sign of an admiration in her eyes. Something about her was different, and he can't figure it out.Nolan almost felt that that Cecilia was changing into someone else."Thank you for the gift, Duke Lancia." T
"What a bizarre combination. A rebellious prince and evil woman.""Ah, their creepy smile make my whole body shivering.""I agree! Now, I know why she stepped out from the election. To seduce that prince!""Oh, do you mean that they're perhaps planning some rebellion?"Aileen try her best to suppress her anger because Cecilia already stole the spotlight. She was surrounded with her friend, pushed her to look calm and collected.She was angry because no one notice her new gown that made from the most expensive gold thread which imported from overseas.Even tough, they're talking bad about Cecilia's new fiancé, Aileen doesn't like it. Not to mention, Nolan didn't even steal a glance to her and silently staring on Cecilia's dance movement. She holds her glass so tightly.What is so special about that girl?she asked herself. If only I have somet
"Mister Hugo, are you ready?" Sarah asked with her sparkling eyes. They were sitting in the park bench, staring at the blue sky and green trees area. It's so relaxing and calming. The brown-haired man, took a deep breath before he continued, "Okay. Miss Bones. Then, ready set, go." "Congratulation on the special 100th chapter!" "This is a long journey! Thank you to everyone who supported this story! Especially our beloved readers!" Sarah nodded in enthusiast way, "I can't believe it! For becoming the one who "hosted" this special chapter! After make a debut in three episodes! Marvelous! I hope I got more chapters!" "That's the spirits, Miss Bones. Honestly, I don't know what to say, since I only just a side character. Ah, but the main characters are still… hmm, busy." "Yeah! The last chapter is sooooo intense! I like that!" She said with big wide grin and everyone can see her sparkling teeth. Hugo clear the throat and try to ch
Aileen can't believe what just she heard. The Emperor was abandoned her family. Silver's family already served the empire for long generations and already giving countless gift."How could you do this?" She whispered to herself while the crown prince show the letter of the plan to assassinated the empress. "This is not a rebellion. I just take what supposed to be mine. No one better than me who could rule this empire. I am the one who can be the empress!"Nolan's voice became colder when he said, "As a punishment for this unforgivable sin, all the wealth and the property which belong to Silver Family will confiscate to the Empire. They will be stripped from the current tittle and exiled to the Risqué Island in an undefined time."Marchioness Silver then shouted loudly before she passed out. Meanwhile, the Marquess trembled in fear. Not only, his plan got ruined, but the Emperor already know his bad deed on the noble's faction.Bribery, blackm
"Seem you preferred not to talk, Your Majesty." Maxwell said when he entered Arthur's workroom. "Where's Nolan? I thought he will entertain you or something.""Why are you here?" The Emperor asked when he's still reading the paper about the trial's process for tomorrow.Max pulls out a small glass bottle from his cape, "Cecilia's aunt made this. For your wife.""He is your mother, Max. Besides, what do you mean? I never knew she has an aunt. As long as I remember, Marquess Hagrav didn't get married.""Well, they already register their wedding. You can check it in civilian office." Max then sitting on the nearest chair and put his leg on the table. "Ah, Duke Lancia said that he want you to accept his condolences.""I'm not died, yet." He shook his head and let out a heavy sigh, "How could you dating with her daughter? What did you after?"Max rested his back on the c
"Boss, I've got a bad news. The Emperor will send a representative to make a deal with us." A man servant who used thick clothes with brown animal fur, said to his leader.Desmond Krueger, a big muscle man who grind his axe down, smiling to his servant.Icicle's highest temperature was zero degree. The sun rarely show and it still a mystery why the White Wolf bandit's leader has brown tanned skin. "Hmm, it's good news. I need to test my axe.""Lancia's family chosen as their representative." He continued."Ah, so I have a chance to met with the grim reaper. Hmm, if I kill him, I can take over everything he has."Desmond's smile widens when thinking about Armano's dead body. Perhaps, he can send the Duke's head as souvenir for the emperor."Ah, I heard. He has a daughter. The rumor said that she is an evil woman." Gregorio Gark, Desmond's right hands, slightly tilted
"Beer." Garcia said to the bartender in the crowded bar. She looks so angry when an unknown man tried to talk with her."Go away! Or I'll kill you!" She yelled to shooed them away. Her face painted with wrath and everyone became scarred of her.That's why the chair beside her was empty.The bartender put a big glass full of beer to her. "For the angel of the death.""What?!" Her brows raised to him."That's what they said." He pointed to the crowd over her shoulder.Garcia's look at them before drink her beer in big one gulp. If they want to fight, she was more than ready to do it. "Another!"The bartender nodded before refill her glass."Heyaaa!" Said someone behind her shoulder."SO, YOU CHOOSE DIE--, Ah! You…" Garcia snapped, but when she saw the interlocutor, her anger subsided. "Why did you here, Gil?
"Is there something wrong?"Cecilia gasped when a familiar voice greeted her from behind.She was reading in her library all alone.Mary, Theo and the other already arrived from the South Island last night, and she gave them a day off to take some rest."Max, what are you doing here? If my father know--,""Don't worry. I saw him in the palace. So, what's wrong?" He rested his head to her lap.Cecilia let out a heavy sigh before she's reading her book again about the history of Icicle Island."Nothing.""Then, why did you avoid me since two days ago, right after Gracia's accident?""I'm not avoiding anyone.""So, you didn't care about her words?""Max, I'm still reading.""She sent me her resignation letter."Cecilia knitted her br
