The Prince of Obelia (Wmmp, Male oc)

chapter 09

A few days have passed since he start working. His team treat him like a family and they obey everything Aestry said. They were kind and also caring to him. Aestry feel happy and glad that they get along well.

However, there's one things that they're still struggling on. It's the place where the Royal will sit when the festival start. There's only a few days before the festival however that doesn't mean they can slack off. Every design they made got decline by Linda.

She said she want an extravaganzas but fancy design. The color must be warm and yet stand out in the night. Their seat must be comfy but looks like a commoner type. There's many things that she said but all of it didn't manage to enter their brain.

" Hah.... Just what kind of design does she want?!" Marlan, a foreigner who come volunteer to work there from another empire, groan with frustration.

Aestry only let out an awkward laugh as he also doesn't know what design to put it. He is currently sitting on a big wooden box which is fill with many clothes, accessories and many things to use to design.

"Well, according to the ministry, the group who is in charge in making this festival preparations is a group of people who travel from another continent to another, isn't?" Kai state as he is now in a mess with many blueprints scattered around his work table. His pen that is place on his ear is now fall on the table. It clearly show that he is frustrated while trying hard to create a design that will make Linda satisfied but unfortunately, she's didn't.

"Urghhh!!! At this rate I might just go meet her Majesty and ask what kind of style that she likes!"  Jessie, one of the back stage staff, groan. She is actually one of the founders of this group and the one who is in charge at the back stage during a performance but this year, she wants to try a another work.

Aestry look at her with surprised. The other stare at her as if she just found a conclusion for them.

"YOU WERE RIGHT!!"

Exclaimed them except Aestry who is doubting with the idea. Jessie jump a little at the sudden shout but then smile proudly. Her both hands are on her hips as she look up with a smug smile plastered on her face.

"But, I don't think we will get the permission from Linda, hence we won't even be able to walk pass the gate to meet Her majesty."

Suddenly, a male enter the room with a wooden box on his hands. He push the door open with his back. He walk pass them and put the box on the floor, where Aestry was sitting on. He turn to them with a dark glare.

"Afterall, we are just a commoner and a some of us are just a traveler. I don't even dare to imagine us to stand before the gate."

Everyone then become silent as they listen to his words. They cannot deny it nor to fight back because what he says is the truth. They all sigh.

Aestry look down on his lap. He do remember this event happen in one of his past life. He do remember the design of where the Royal will sit on however, he didn't dare to speak up the design since he doesn't want to steal the spot light. He look at one of the people in the room.

At the corner of his room, there's a little girl with short chocolate hair and black eyes. She is the girl who designed the seat.

"Uhm.... How about we ask her? From the start, I have see her creating many fashions and things for the stage. Maybe, she have any ideas about it?" Aestry start to spoke up as he already been silent from the start. He didn't lie about the things the girl do. It's was known between the group as the girl made it by herself.

They all turn to the girl who is now in shock upon hearing Aestry's words. She quickly shake her head trying to refuse however, everyone seems to agree with Aestry's words.

"I think Aestry is right. I mean, we can use this as a chance to make a new design and this can make her gain an experience." State Jessie as she's also now in deep thoughts.

Kai nod. His eyes brighten when his eyes meets the girl's. He grin showing his white teeth.

"What's your name, little flower?" Kai ask as he walk to the girl.

The girl become flustered. She looks down to her dress and play it with her fingers. "It's Zilo. I'm.... 11 years old..." She mumble thus it is loud enough for them to hear.

Kai nod acknowledging her introduction. He kneel on knee to her and look at her making the girl didn't dare to lift her head. Kai let out a chuckle but his hand move to her head and ruffles it.

"I will make you a future designer. I'll train you and teach you everything in my knowledge of design to you. Now, Zilo. May I ask you a few questions?"

Everyone in the room could feel the tension that is hidden well in his question. They remain silent as they watch the scenes. Zilo nod her head however her face slowly turn to Kai.

"What is the perfect color for a Royal when the main color is dark brown like wooden plat." He smile after stating his question.

"Dark yellow like melting golden and grey. " The girl answer without any hesitation. Her eyes show determination and full of confidence.

Upon hearing those words, everyone raise their eyebrows. They feel like it won't be pretty and marvelous especially when a Royal who will sit there. However, before they could utter any words, Aestry let out a soft chuckle. They all turn to him with a question look while Kai look at him with a knowing smile.

"Aestry? Are you sick or you just lose your cool there?" Marlan ask with a question look.

The guy who just enter the room and put the box beside where Aestry is sitting, put the back of his hand to Aestry's forehead and use his other hand to check his own temperature.
He frown a little.

"You don't have a fever either." His name is Evan.

Aestry flush upon seeing the move. He immediately stand up from the box and make a fake cough. He look at the girl with a fondly gaze.

"Those color do suit the Royal. Especially when the festival Is being held in town." State Aestry as he try to hide his red face.

Everyone then become silent. They start to think about Aestry's words and then the color or the design. After a few seconds, they could see what they meant. They all nod and a smile paint on their face.

"Wow! This have never cross in my mind before!" Said Marlan.

The little girl become embrassed. She looks away with a small smile. Aestry see this and chuckle.
