ALORA EMBRY
"Dear let's eat lunch."
"Hmm, come on Alora."
"Yes, father." I follow my parents and we go to a restaurant together with Damien's family.
"Sir Daniel didn't meet father in Levan?" I asked and look at our parents.
"No, I heard that your father had some business with the Crown Prince."
"Ahh." when we finish eating lunch while our fathers are still talking about business while mother and Madam Litia are having a tea. "What should we do now?"
"Let's go and stroll outside?" I nod and they let us go around we visit books shops and a cake shop to try a new dessert.
"Damien let's try that one." We go inside the perfume shop and our nose was filled with a nice fragrance.
"Okay." different types of delicate scents and buy a bottle that we do mix. Mine was really sweet I also like Damien's perfume.
"Here for you, the perfume will suit on you I think."
"And this one is for you." I smile and smell it; it has a sweet fragrance.
"Thank you." that's the last shop that we visit and get back to the academy. Arlene told me that Brother Kaden is already here and the twins are going around the academy.
"Arlene find them and bring them here."
"Yes, My Lady. Please excuse me." the room is super quiet until the twins came.
"Sister!"
"Kiefer, Kieran greet Damien."
"Greetings Brother Damien."
"Hello, Kiefer, Kieran."
"Brother let's play again, who are Kiefer and Kieran if you guess it right then we will leave this room quietly."
"I can tell now who is who, Haha."
"Who are Kiefer and Kieran, Now choose." they both said and Damien laughed.
"Okay the one who is on the right is Kiefer and on the left is Kieran."
"Wow you guess it right; we will now leave."
"Really, I guess it's right?" Damien look innocent he was smiling brightly because first the first time he guess it right.
"No, they were just messing with you. You guess it wrong." I said and the twin laugh and hug me. He collapsed on the couch and he point to the two of them.
"I thought..."
"Sister let's eat."
"Arlene please bring food here."
"Yes, My Lady."
"So where did you two go?" I asked and they excitedly told me where did they go.
"To the grand hall and clock tower, the academy is beautiful sister." after they finish eating, I told them to sleep in one of the rooms here. And one hour before the banquet the maids dress them.
"I will leave now see you in the grand hall later."
"Okay." I kiss his cheek and Arlene started to help me dress up. The black dress does blend well with my skin tone, Arlene curled my hair and put on my makeup.
"You're now perfect, My Lady." I smiled when I saw myself in the mirror.
"You did great, thank you, Arlene."
"My Lady you will not hide the true color of your eyes?"
"It's fine, I will let them see my real eyes just for tonight. Come on Arlene let's go."
"Yes, My Lady." I saw my family walking towards the grand hall, I greet them, and then one of the emperor's servants announce our arrival.
"The Astley Family will now enter!"
"We greet the Imperial Family."
"Oh, Kaden is already here so that's why the crowd is livelier, so how are you?"
"I'm fine, Your Majesty."
"That's good. Thank you for always defending our border together with Kio, the empire is grateful to have the House of Astley."
"We are honored, Your Majesty."
"And the Eyron too, we are thankful."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"I always heard how excellent your sons and daughter are. Because of the successful hunt near the borders the villagers who live there are living peacefully. Leo Eyron you also did well the last time."
"Thank you, Your Highness, but the one you should praise is Lady Alora who led the hunt last month." The emperor smiled at me and nod.
"Can I tell something, Your Majesty?"
"What is it?"
"It is about my daughter."
"I heard Alora excel in many skills she's one of the top students here. What's the problem?" Empress said.
"It's about the recent incident, where my daughter nearly gets killed." then father said and I secretly glance at Leticia who is talking with the Crown Prince and Sir Hayes. They do look nervous, they should be.
"Hmm, let me hear it."
"We didn't take an immediate action because we are on Levan, but it happen before the festival came. That person who nearly killed my daughter we need to punish her."
"Why I didn't hear this..."
"Your Majesty, we can't let it pass, to hurt my daughter is unforgivable."
"Hear us out, Your Majesty." He raised his head and look at the Crown Prince.
"Crown Prince Reidjan, I want to know the details of that incident. Bring the culprit to me at once."
"Your Majesty I can't."
"What are you saying, Crown Prince? Do it it's an order from the emperor."
"Yes, Your Majesty." the Crown Prince look at me with pleaded eyes but I avert my gaze and stood beside my family's heads up.
"The Lady will be delighted."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
"Yes. Then let's enjoy this banquet!" My father are busy talking to the emperor and the Empire's chancellor while I was eating together with the twins.
"I think they don't have plans on telling the truth to the emperor." Damien appeared and we all look surprised.
"You think." he sips on his drink and gazes at the Crown Prince, He is not leaving Leticia's side.
"I remember, what are you two talking about? You and Leticia."
"You saw us? I just tell her to leave you alone. That there is no one that is allowed to hurt you."
"Ahh I'm getting goosebumps." we both look at Kiefer; he laughed and waves his hands. "Don't mind me. I just remember something horrible. Sister excuses me, we will now leave you two. Sheez."
"Kieran still didn't like me, eh?"
"That's Kiefer."
"Eh? Okay." I laugh at pat his shoulder.
