CHAPTER 43

Katara

Did I do the right thing??

-Flash Back-

I was walking to the hallway of my father's room and I suddenly saw Do chin delivering a letter to Father. I also saw the the seal is fire nation. So this letter is either from..

General Iroh, Ursa or Zuko...
But why?

I sneak in to the side of door. I saw Do chin left the room and walk outside our House in the fire nation. I evesdrop and then father read the letter silently and then he's so shock. It's like he can't believe what happened, I was going to Father but all of a sudden I saw Sokka burst out from no where.

"Dad, What is Do chin doing here?" Sokka said

I hide in behind the door and eavesdrop.

Father gave the letter to Sokka.

Seriously what's inside the letter? What is that letter up to?

"We should tell her this" Sokka said

"No she can't make it. Katara won't make it" Father said

I can't? I can't what?!
Wow, You're bringing me down?!

"Father! This not about the competition it's about Katara and Zuko! This is a chance! The opportunity just knocked father. Why not take it?!" Sokka said

It's very unusual that Sokka said those words. weird.

But competition? What competition? I don't get it.

"What competition?" I suddenly walk across them

"Ah-uh, K-katara" Sokka said

"Why are you stuttering? Is there something you should tell me? What's that letter? I saw Do Chin a couple of minutes ago. What's he's doing here?" I asked

Sokka raised his hand and trying to calm me

"Calm down. Ask question one by one" sokka said and then gave me the letter

"Do Chin delivered it." Sokka said

Why?

"It's from Queen Ursa and the inner court." Father said

What about them? I opened the letter and read it

A pleasant and wonderful greetings to Hokada's family,

The time has come. The time when the inner court will choose whom the Fire Lord will marry and be a ladyship of the nation. The princess of the Water tribe is considered as a maiden here in the Fire nation. The inner court is having Miss Katara's permission to be one of the maidens that will be competing to be the Lady. If the Miss accepted the offer of the inner court your graces are eternal Chief Hokoda. She'll be living in the palace together with the other maidens for 5 days and four nights. We will be expecting you in two days.
