Who Am I

Chapter 42

Aria's POV

It didn't take long for everyone to be seated on their chairs. Saturn sat on my right while Volter sat on my left, Claire stood behind me like any other maiden would. I did notice that the chair I was sitting on was different than the other chairs, it was more royal like than the others. I didn't want to be different, I wanted them to know that I am just like them, but for some odd reason I just brushed it off.

Saturn was in the middle of telling me about how his mother is a baker, and how she makes the most delicious cakes and pastires, when many waiters came in with a hundred food plates.

It took some time until all the waiters placed each tray of food on the table, then remove the domed cover.

I saw all the wonderful smelling food that made me seem even hungrier than what ever I was feeling earlier.

I don't know why but I found myself waiting until all the waiters were gone.

When that happened all eyes fell on me. Are they waiting for me to say something or what?

I glance at Claire who said, "They are waiting for you to take the first bite, as you can see the chef is standing in the far corner waiting for your first bite."

I thought it over and slowly reached for a spoon and the soup bowl in front of me. The soups aroma, was mesmerizing as I took a sip, using the spoon.

I could swear I saw the chef hold his breath.

I swallow it, a slightly serious face plastered on my face.

I could hear the chef gulp as he stepped forward, "D-did you like the soup, princess?"

I guess they still insist on calling me that.

I look at him and say, "I don't like it... "

The chef's eyes widened as he bowed, "I'm so sorry I couldn't make it to your tas-"

"Psh, Psh shh." I frowned at him, "Hold up, I didn't even complete what I wanted to say."

His head hung low.

"I didn't like it... Because... I loved it." I smiled at the surprised chef standing a mere 12 feet away from me.

"Thank you, princess." was all he said as a smile crossed his face.

I look at the stunned people in front of me, "What are you waiting for? I already had my bite so shouldn't you?"

I saw a few smiles before everyone started eating.

The meal went well with the hushed chatter of people. I was able to hear every bit of conversation, so I'm guessing it's advanced hearing.

A woman stood up from her chair and faced me. The quiet chatter quickly turned to silence.

She bowed and said, "Princess since your going to be crowned as queen and the Alpha of the dragon kingdom, I would like to prepare your coronation dress that you will be wearing in 2 days."

I blinked a twice before I looked at Volter surprised, "2 days?"

Volter nodded, "You see all the dragons here are doing their best to help you get crowned as soon as possible, since everything will be back to the way it used to be about 20 years ago." he paused and said, "That of course means taking down the king to return you to your rightful place. Only royal Alpha dragon blood can rule in the dragon kingdom."

"Okay, but please don't tell me your going to kill him." I said not baring to think about what would happen if they did so.

"No, no, we won't do that, we are forcing him to give up his place, by sending many remarks and disapproval messages to him. Of course I know him quite well and he will ignore them. Of course the elderly dragons that are the most respected, will have him back as a commoner in seconds. "
