The Chronicle of Aurelia Aurelius

Chapter 20

I kept waiting in my room, while sitting in front of the vanity table. The words from Gena kept shadowing inside my mind. She said she sensed something from the crown prince's entourage, what could it be? That Goddesses could sense it.

After waiting for more moments, I looked out the window, and now the sun was already shining above our heads. Finally, I heard a sound from the door knob, and when the door opened, I turned my body to it, and saw it was my mother who opened the door. Mother walked to me, and gave me the information.

"The entourage had already passed our gate.."

I stood up, and mother led me to the entourage. We left the room, immediately Adel and the 3 children who were waiting in front of my room, followed behind me. On the way to greet the entourage, I was so nervous, suddenly I heard my mother say to me while walking.

"Don't be nervous Aurelia...and don't grip your hand like that, that's so inappropriate for you..."

Without my knowledge, I gripped my hand with my other hand, maybe because I was too nervous.

"Remember one thing, Aurelia...You are in your home, not in his home...For what, you need to be nervous in your own home.."

"I will keep your word, mother..."

"Great, that's the Aurelius spirit you need to show...Show him about your family's name..."

After some walking, we arrived at the entrance of home. I saw everyone was there, even Felix, I hadn't seen him for a while. Immediately, my mother led me to the front of everyone. In front of everyone, there was Father, the little two, and Gena already waiting. Mother placed me in front with Gena and Adel beside me.

I saw three carriages come to the entrance of my home, two carriages were normal carriages, the one in the middle was different, it was white and full of ornaments like golds. I assumed it was the royal carriage.

When the royal carriage came closer, I saw two glimpses of figures inside of that carriage. Maybe the Prince brought someone in his carriage like his sibling, I assumed. I looked to my mother behind me, it seemed my assumption was different from my mother's and she was irritated. Suddenly, she was beside me, and whispered something to Adel. Adel changed position with her, now Adel was behind me.

The three carriages stopped in front of my house, especially the royal carriage in front of me. The guard on the coachman from the royal carriage went down, took the stair from behind the carriage, put the stair in front of the carriage door, and opened the door...In a few second, the prince showed, but for no reason, my mother was covering in front of me, like she tried to hide me from him..I just saw a glimpse of him, he wore white clothes and white robes like a royal robes, with gold yellowish ornaments, and his hair was blonde...

I tried to peek from my mother's body, and found someone else still inside the carriage beside him. He stopped in front of the carriage door, and lent his hand to a girl from his carriage, so she could step down. I saw a glimpse of the girl, she had red hair. I noticed my mother's hand seemed to be giving a signal. Immediately I was pulled out from there by Adel who grabbed my hand. When I was going to be pulled out from there, I looked at Gena's face and was quite shocked.

After we went behind everyone, Adel grabbed me and led me out from there. It seemed she led me back to my room. It was just Adel and I who left from there, even the three children not following me, and Gena seemed astonished about what happened. On the way, I asked Adel while she led me.

"Why did you pull me back from there, and it seemed you wanted to lead me to my room again?"

"It is madam's order, my lady..."
