(BTS book 2) Angeline or known as Tala explores more to her world she's living in now while learning her duties and responsibilities as a princess of both kingdoms.
How big is Cassiopeia anyway? I didn't know that there were other kingdoms besides those I already knew. I'm just looking at every person walking through the door. I am still astonished by how many people are entering. The queens and kings signaled me to stand up. I followed them, and they seemed like they were welcoming the guests.
"It's an honor to be invited to this party, Queen Marikit," A lady who looked the same age as the queen wearing an elegant gown said as she bowed to us.
"The honor is ours, Queen Althea." The queens curtsied, so I curtsied as well. The kings shook hands with the man beside Queen Althea. That must be her king of their kingdom. They chatted for a while, then moved on to the successive queens and kings, and the cycle repeats.
After that, we returned to our throne, and King Crisanto rang the bell, making the crowd go quiet and have their eyes and attention towards us.
"Let the feast begin!" He said as the palace maids escorted the guests to their respective tables. The five of us went down to a separate dining hall. It was usually just us 5 dining there. I was lonely but surprised because Queen Althea and others followed us to our table.
"All the royal family dines here with us at this table," Queen Barbara whispered. I guess she found out that I am confused with this whole setup. I sat beside my relatives at my usual seat, and the others occupied the long table.
"I'm so glad that your two kingdoms have made peace with each other." That one queen said, which made my family laugh. I was eating and feeling out of place when I saw a man who looked almost a year older than me staring at me. He's sitting with us at the long table. I raised my brow to show him I was weirded out, which made him grin. I rolled my eyes and looked at my guests, laughing and talking. I looked at my friends, who seemed to be enjoying their time.
I sighed as I finished my dessert and excused myself from them. I went outside the palace through the back door. I sighed as I leaned against the wall. I ripped off my ruffles on the lower part of my dress to get comfortable. I removed my bun and let down my now curly, elegant hair, which still had glitters and braids. I saw a pig running towards me while I was down in my thoughts. I immediately crouched so that I could level with it. It seems like this one escaped the farm, afraid to be our next day's meal.

"Hello there!" I greeted playfully. I confirmed that she is a girl. She looks so tiny and afraid. I carried her and caressed her. "Are you running away as much as I did right now?" I giggled as I played with her. I loved her right away! I'm keeping her. I know this will be my and my grandparents' argument, but I don't care. No one could stop me from keeping her. "Don't you worry now, I won't let you become the bacon on our plates," I giggled, and she oinked.
