Bab 6: Chapter 6 : The meeting were delayed? no way!
Crystelle is pondering again today.
Lady Soleil? Did you get bored again? Why don't you play outside with the princess? suggest the head maid of the Emerald Palace, Rachel.
Crystelle's presence was interfering with the work that was being done by the other maid. Rachel must get out of the room to get done with her work now.
Crystelle took a glance at the outside of the palace from the window.
"Looks like the weather is fine today," thought Crystelle.
' Okay! Elle is leaving right now. If someone came up to me, I'd tell them I was going for a walk with Sir Ferdy.
Rachel nodded and bowed at Crystelle as she walked out of her chamber.
****
Crystelle is walking through the emperor's garden with his personal royal guard, Sir Ferdy.
Sir Ferdy Ruby, the powerful and skilled royal knight after the emperor's personal knight, Sir Robert He had been directed to guard me by the emperor himself since the day I arrived at the main palace.
"I'm not sure if it's okay to pair me with this powerful man."
Crystelle reflected as she walked toward the garden. It's been like a daily routine for Crystelle and her personal guard to take a walk in the emperor's garden these days.
"Sir Ferdy, you are not permitted to enter from here, so just guard me from outside," Crystelle said, turning to face the garden.
"As you wish, my lady."
Currently, Crystelle has stayed at the palace for two days because of the promise she made to the emperor to stay at the palace for a whole week and to gain the first prince's favor.
But! That's the big problem right now! The first prince doesn't want to have someone come and see him! "How could I get to monopolize his heart even if he doesn't want to cooperate with me?" thought Crystelle.
Crystelle stomped her leg on the ground to release her anger.
"Didn't you ever learn manners?"
Crystelle freeze. "That is the same voice from before!"
Crystelle should turn and face the owner of that voice.
A shining red-haired pair with an ember-colored pupil
"What an outstanding figure this boy has, although his clothes are a bit shabby," thought Crystelle, fascinated by that boy's look.
' Ehem! Pardon me, but aren't you the one who has no manners, boy? How do you approach a lady like that? it's rude.' Respond to Crystelle.
That boy smirked. "Well, for me, it looks like you are much younger than me, so weren't you the one who was rude first to call me "boy" or "short girl"? You even appear to be too young to be called a "lady."Talk back to him in a mocking tone.
Crystelle started to get mad. ' Hey! Who are you calling short? Okay, I'm the second tallest after my eldest brother! and I am 10 years old! I am a young lady! And you! You are the one who spoke to me first! "Where even are your greetings, elder boy?" Ask Crystelle back in an angry tone.
That boy was speechless and just stared at Crystelle.
For a moment, the silence took over all at once. There is a heavy atmosphere between them.
"Oh no! "Did I say something wrong?" thought Crystelle. "Why is he speechless so suddenly?"
Crystelle calmed herself. 'I am such an uncouth'.
' Ehem! Well, never mind then. I will introduce myself first. said Crystelle, to cover her wrongdoing and try to break the silence between them.
'Greetings, Crystelle Elera la Soleil, I am from the house of Soleil. I am pleased to make your acquaintance. said Crystelle while bowing and smiling gently.
That boy was stunned and flustered.
"I sincerely apologize, my lady." I don't know you're from the house of Soleil," said that boy. asking for forgiveness. He doesn't know that the lady with no manners he spoke to was from the noblest family in the empire.
Ohoh! You're so quick to change your demeanor, aren't you? Crystelle said in her heart.
It's alright. "I'm still a child, so I don't mind too much, but if my brother were here, you'd be mad at me and, worse, you could get fired for it, so please think before you speak," Crystelle reminds the boy.
' Ah! "I didn't know his name yet!" thought Crystelle.
"So, the elder boy, what is your name?"
"Hey, redhead!"What did you think you were doing? come here! We have too much work to be done by today!
Crystelle's question is cut short by a loud, shouted a voice from the Ruby Palace direction.
' Okay! I'm sorry, madam Gune!' Shout back at that boy.
"Well, I am sorry again, my lady. Next time we accidentally meet again, I will properly introduce myself." said that boy flustered, then he started to run toward the Ruby Palace in haste.
I've been saved!" Thanks to Madam Gune!" said that boy in his heart.
What the? That first prince really made his people do too much work. Even when that older boy went to chat with me, they still dared to call for him. I'm curious if they have too much on their plates.
Crystelle continued her walk back.
"I think I will stop here for today," thought Crystelle.
"Dear Lady Soleil?"
Crystelle turned to face that voice. Why are there so many people calling for me by my name this day?
"Your highness, Lady Soleil is at your service. May I help you? " Crystelle smiles when she knows the third princess was the one who called for her.
The third princess of the Ophelia Empire, the one and only princess after Princess Larissa Diane Evelyn Ophelia got her mother's name, the queen, because of her face, which resembles Queen Evelyn. She was known as a gentle and kind princess of the empire.
"Oh, it was nothing." I just happened to see you here today. I heard it's been two days since your arrival at the palace. 'How come I haven't greeted you sooner, despite the fact that you're at the Emerald Palace?'Princess Larissa stated politely.
"What a ladylike girl she is!" There is a princess waiting for you." She's even a year younger than me," thought Crystelle, amazed by her lovely attitude.
"Where are you going, your majesty?"May I accompany you? Crystelle ask.
' Ah! it's okay. I am heading toward the Ruby Palace to see how the first prince is doing. Lady Soleil can continue your previous work. don't mind me." Reject Princess Larissa politely once more.
' What? the first prince? "Does he want to meet you, your highness?" Crystelle asks, her voice trembling.
"Well, we've had a good relationship since we were kids. I consider him as my eldest brother truly." answer princess Larissa.
' Oh! By the way, I heard that Lady Soleil will become his fiancée in the near future. Please take care of him for me. said Princess Larissa while bowing.
' Eh? it's alright! Don't be too polite with me; just call me Crystelle, your highness.' flustered Crystelle.
"Well, if you said so." Lady Crystelle. If you don't have any work, Would you mind accompanying me to see him? Ask Princess Larissa back.
Why don't we go see him while his fiance is here? Maybe Lady Crystelle can soften his heart a little bit? Princess Larissa pondered.
Crystelle hesitated for a second. "Can I, your highness?" He never agreed to meet me for the entire two days."I wonder if I can greet him before our engagement gets official after this week," complains Crystelle.
' What? You never saw him for the entire two days? How can he act like this to his own fiance? I cannot believe it! mad princess Larissa.
"Well, if you haven't met him yet, how could you get engaged together in the future, right?" I think it's alright if you're with me to go to see him, no? Princess Larissa stated.
Crystelle was fascinated by the princess's actions. "What a beautiful angel she is!"
"Please do, princess!" Thank you very much!
' Hey! First prince! I will get to see you today for sure! Don't think you can run away from me forever. 'Make sure your heart is ready for my attack, my prince,' Crystelle thought as she walked toward the Ruby Palace with the princess, a big grin on her face.
