I ENDED UP AS A DUKE'S 7TH CHILD

CHAPTER 46

We three quickly walk to the entrance and saw everyone else waiting for us.

"What took you three so long?" asked sister Katrina.

"Sorry." we all replied.

"Everyone stand in their respective places," said brother Cedric.

We all stood according to that.

It is very important to know where you stand infront of an Imperial family member because according to the member your position can change.

For an example sister Katrina, the Crown Princess is standing in front of us which shows she is the closest to the Crown Prince than all of us and also for the Crown Prince it means she will be the most loyal person amongst us.

But if it was Her Imperial Highness brother Cedric would had stand at the front because as The Grand Duke he is the closest to the Empress.

And in the same way all these years brother Cedric used to stand infront of us in front of The Emperor too. But after brother Neel has became a knight of 'The Order of Ruby' he will be the one standing infront, from now on. Which will showcase he will be the most loyal and closest person to His Majesty from The Holler family

Soon Crown Prince William's carriage arrived and he greeted all of us. We all greeted him with utter respect.

"So it's the young Lady's birthday. I hope you have a bright future ahead," he said with a very warm smile.

"Thank you very much for your kind words your Highness, The Crown Prince," replied Meitry.

"Mother sent some gifts for everyone. I hope everyone will like it," he looked around a bit and then added, "she also sent someone very special." Then he looked at the carriage. "Mikhail come down."

Prince Mikhail then came out from the carriage.
And we all again showed respect and greeted him.

"Good evening. It's nice to meet you all," he said politely. I was basically staring at him and soon realised he was intentionally avoiding my eyes. We all walk inside.

Brother Cedric and sister Katrina were attending the Crown Prince. And left Prince Mikhail with brother Neel and sister Athena.

The rest of us were staying quite close to each other.

"Brother Ishak, did you bake the cake?" suddenly Meitry asked.

"Of course I did. After all that's my birthday gift every year;  hahaha," he replied.

"Oh I totally forgot Meitry," quickly brother Henry took out an small envelope from his robe, "I'm not sure if you will like it or not but I just thought it was pretty. So I got it for you."

"Thanks brother Henry. But what's th........."

Looking at brother Henry I remembered about the book. All this still doesn't feel real.

"Hey Davinia, what did you got for Meitry this year?" brother Neel whispered in my ears.

"Oh, I gave her the necklace she is wearing.... But what are you doing here? You should be with Prince Mikhail."

"Don't worry. Athena is with him. And I introduced him to Alex and Matthew. He should be with people around his age."

"When did you introduce him to them? But you still....."

"Oh stop with all this nagging," he interrupted me and proceeded with his talk, " you know what I gave her? I gave her the most important thing a sword. Can you believe she is already 13 and still didn't had her very own sword. How could this even happen? What was bro....."

"My Lady," suddenly I heard Mary's voice. I turned to look at her. She looked a little anxious. So, was she finally proposed? I walk towards her. "My Lady, a maid found the diary you were talking about. I kept it in your room."

Note: The standing formation mentioned above is totally fictional which I created for my story. It has no true meaning, it will just be an important part of the story.
