-KRISELLA-
I looked one last ti at my reflection in this full-length-size mirror that's currently standing in front of now. Even if several days have passed already, I still can't help but marvel at my look whenever I see myself in the prince's outfit.
Today will be the day that we've all been anticipating for. The king of Cordova is holding a party right now at their castle in the neighboring country, and as his daughter's betrothed, I was asked to go to this party as the prince in disguise.
Will I sohow pull this one off?
*Knock! Knock! Knock!*
"Coming!" I said, trying my best to imitate a guy's voice right now. Good thing they said that the prince has sohow a girlish voice too, thus I won't have trouble imitating his voice.
Once I went outside the room, I saw Lucas, Lancelott, and Alex waiting for outside of my room.
"The chariot is waiting for us outside," said Lancelott. "Are you ready now?"
I didn't look at him in the eye but instead chose to look into sowhere else.
"Ready as I'll ever be," I said hesitantly.
"Don't worry," I turned to Lucas and I saw him flashing his radiant smile. "If ever you get yourself in trouble, we'll be backing you up."
Without further adieu, we all started to move forward until we reached outside of the castle. Surely, a beautiful chariot with a white horse standing in front was already waiting for us outside.
Wahhh! My eyes almost sparkled at the sight of this extravagant chariot in front of us. I an, this will be my first ti riding this thing! Even if it's really intended for the prince, I am still feeling giddy inside.
The mont that we all climbed up in the chariot and it started moving away from the premises of the castle, my excitent just got doubled.
I can't believe it! This is all happening to right now!
My eyes were glued on the scene visible through the chariot's windows when I heard Lancelott speak once again in a whisper.
"So the king's na is King Emt Lockhart, father of Marionette Lockhart," he said as if giving an orientation right now. That made focused my gaze on him.
"Age is 35 as of now. Is kind to all his n under him." he continued.
"Do I need to start a topic with him or what?" I said, almost in a whisper also.
"Nah, you don't have to." Alex suddenly chid in. "The more words, the more are your mistakes."
"Hmph!" was all I could say while jerking my head away from him.
"Besides, you're speech and vocabulary is not that great to start with." Alex continued to destroy my confidence.
"Okay, enough of that Alex." Lancelott ca to the rescue. "As what Lucas said a while ago, if ever you need assistance, we'll be right behind you. So you don't have to worry about anything, okay?"
I smiled and nodded my head.
"Besides, you can always act as if you're sick if ever you saw yourself in awkward or tight situations," Lucas muttered and chuckled to his own joke. Lancelott only arched one eyebrow at him.
"What?" was all Lucas said as he looked over at the archbishop.
Several minutes passed by, we finally arrived at the premises of the neighboring country.
"Welco to the country of Cordova. Currently, we are in its capital city, which is Berserk." Lucas blurted out while looking at the window.
"It is one of our country's closest allies, and number two in terms of production and marketing." he continued. "Of course, we are leading in terms of those that I have ntioned earlier."
I am not sure what to respond to that, so I chose to remain silent and continued to look over the window. Like Citadel, Cordova has also large buildings made of concrete, busy streets, lots of population, and wide roads.
Suddenly, I beca anxious about what to do next once we arrive at the castle. And when we did arrive there, that's the ti that the chariot halted and the door was opened by a guy in a formal suit and pants and is wearing this huge white hat above his head.
"After you," Alex said, motioning for to go out first.
I only glared at him before I finally went out of the chariot. He and the rest of the gang went out right behind .
My head went up once I got the full picture of the castle standing proudly right in front of us. Its towers seed to sparkle the mont rays of sunlight hit the ends of it.
I felt my body shaking inside once we walked towards its entrance. Several of the servants imdiately bowed their heads as soon as I walk past to them one by one. I sohow managed to plaster a fake smile to my face as I looked to each one of them.
When we arrived in front of these huge doors made of silver, these three lads in front of walked towards a knight stationed outside of this room. I saw one of them beheld with quite an amusent and shocked at the sa ti before he moves from his place and opened these doors.
Before I was able to enter this room, a man, who was the appointed herald for today's event, bowed down to and acknowledged my presence to the other guests inside the hall in his manly voice which speaks with full of authority as he ntions the prince's na... the one I'm pretending to be with this day.
"Ladies and gentlen, I present you... Prince Arthur Spellman of Gilead!"
Once he finished giving the introduction, he motions for to walk inside, and so I did as what I was told to do. With my wobbly feet, I took several steps inside, until I was greeted by a blinding light coming from this grand chandelier displayed in front of this whole, huge room filled with different types of classy people standing before my eyes. Each of their apparel seed to scream how powerful are they in each of their nations they belong to.
I get it now. This is why it was called the 'royal gathering.' Since all royalties from different ally countries are gathered for this event.
While I was still dazzled at the scene in front of , I imdiately snapped out of my thoughts the mont I heard soone called out my na to my right.
"Prince Arthur, there you are!"
I ca face to face with a man who looks like he's in his forties, has the sa hair and eye color as that of her daughter's, and is currently smiling in front of .
"It's nice to see you once again!"
I was stunned for a mont when I realized who he was, but I quickly regained my senses and imdiately bowed right in front of him.
"It is my pleasure to be in your presence now, King Emt."
