Fake Princess
CXCVI Chapter
"The dance that will be performed, is a typical dance of our Kingdom that will be performed directly by the bride. This dance is mentioned as a bridal fence dance, as a farewell to the bride to release her old life to her new life," the voice of Ajeng touched my ear, he said, I turned my gaze to reach for the last golden nail that lay not too far from Wasfiah's feet.
"Installation of nails or tanggai as you see now, has a meaning if the bride even though she has given up her old life, she must always be beautiful and graceful before her husband..."
"Prince Danurdara Pangestu, the bridegroom who had also stood behind the bride. Meaning, that he was able to protect and make his wife happy later..."
"Two spears carried by two Knights, means a hope... May their marriage always be protected from harm..."
"Where is the big umbrella behind them, containing prayer... In order for Deus to always guard and protect their marriage until the end of life," continued Ajeng again, I bowed my body to stand before Wasfiah as I put my feet back behind him...
Turning my gaze around, it seemed that hundreds of pairs of eyes in this spacious room were staring at us. The music sounds slow and lathering, I move my body to follow the music... The gold nails that I used to dance along with my body that was washed away by the music.

"It's so tired" said Julissa, I turned my gaze to him who was directing his gaze upward also seen the gold nails that are still on his fingers moving slowly when he moved his palm earlier fanned his face.
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm so tired, my body is soaked in sweat. And my hair, I want to take a quick shower, "whimper Julissa, directed her gaze was staring at me.
"I'm tired, my head is also a little heavy. It's the first time I've worn this much headdress" I said, adding that I looked ahead.
My eyes fell on Zeki and Adinata who had been standing leaning against the walls of the Palace hall. The hat that Zeki was wearing before was in his grasp...
I turned my gaze to Julissa who had walked towards Adinata, turning around them while stepping side by side leaving Zeki. I walked over to Zeki who had also stepped on his feet...
"I really didn't expect that you could dance like that" she said, turning my gaze to her who had also walked beside me.
"Ajeng's aunt is really terrible, I can't afford to listen to all the babbling from her," I said, returning my eyes to look straight ahead.
"Sa-chan!"
Looking at me towards the voice that was heard from behind me, I stared at my father walking with Haruki, Izumi and Eneas who were also walking beside him.
"How are you doing?" father said, I looked at him who had stood embracing my body.
"Just a little tired Dad, did you see those golden nails on my fingers?" I said I walked beside him, I lifted my fingers before me.
"You make your father amazed to see you, you look so beautiful when you dance" said Dad smilingly looking at me.
"Thank you, I didn't think I could do it either" I smiled at him.
"You created my body like this, so I have to try harder to make my body a little supple" I said in response to his words.
"Are you guys leaving soon?" heard back my father's soft voice, I turned my eyes to look at him who looked down to look away.
"The sooner we leave, the sooner we get together with you again Dad. You know, don't you? I really don't want to leave you," I said, letting my hand grab and gently hold her hand.
"But isn't it too soon, can't you stay here with me a little longer" he said, looking at him who had set his eyes straight ahead.
"Dad, actually... We would love to go home with you, but... The emperor had a flower seed, I forgot his name... If the seed doesn't come back from him immediately..."
"All of us, this world... Will perish," Haruki's voice sounded again, I looked at him who had set his eyes on Father.
"I don't understand what you're saying" said my father, and I looked back at him.
"Dad, do you believe in dragons?" I said, I looked at my father who looked back at me.
"Dragon? As per the rumored confluence if the Emperor has one?"
"Dad, who almost killed us first was the Dragon of the Emperor. The dragon would have burned our bodies if only..."
"If only what?" he said cutting my words, I felt his tone rising with a slight tremble.
"If only the Dragon belonged to Sachi, did not save us," Izumi continued to chim in.
"Dragon?"
"What do you mean?" Dad continued, his footsteps stopped as he turned around he looked back at Izumi.
"Our kingdom has a Dragon just like the Emperor, if his Dragon is fire, then the Dragon Sachi has is ice. Because it's Dad, we won't get any chances. Whatever it is, to destroy the Empire, so Dad..."
"Wait a minute" said Father stopping Haruki's words.
"You have a dragon?" he looked at me, nodded, I replied to his words earlier.
"You didn't lie to your father, did you?"
"I'll call him now if you really want to see him, Dad," I said with a soft nod of my head staring at him.
