Miss Most Perfect Beauty
The Evariste Empire Party
Just one day after the coronation, a celebration party was held in order to succeed Scarlesia to the throne of the emperor. The party invitation was not only intended for Evariste nobles but for other empires as well. Tonight the atmosphere of the party hall was bustling, many of the nobles congratulated Scarlesia. Not even a few of them gave gifts to Scarlesia.
Representatives from each of the empires began to flock into the party hall, they gave greetings, congratulations, as well as gifts to Scarlesia. Unceasingly they murmured about Scarlesia's beauty, this was a talk that would never disappear from their topic when they saw Scarlesia directly. A beauty that will never be timeless, such is the assumption of people.
Moments later, everyone's attention was distracted at the arrival of Scarlesia's handsome men. They today look more charming as well as the hairstyle that looks changed, the maximum good looks that are able to make every woman melt. The clothes they wear add to their good looks. Scarlesia had forgotten herself for a moment to look at them, her heart pounding when she saw their appearance was different from usual.
“They are very handsome, is it possible that they are His Majesty's future concubines?”
“True, they are His Majesty's future concubines. I almost forgot myself when I saw it.”
“Your Majesty is very lucky. I heard they loved His Majesty too.”
“They are both lucky, Your Highness is lucky to get them and they are also lucky to get Your Highness.”
Small tweets reached Scarlesia's ears, the guests were excited because of the arrival of handsome men. Scarlesia only replied with a smile because she also had the same thoughts as them. Scarlesia watched the handsome man slowly step closer to her, starting with Andreas giving a kiss on the back of Scarlesia's hand.
“Your Highness, you are so beautiful tonight. But, in ordinary days you remain beautiful to me,” Andreas said sounding like a death seduction.
Scarlesia is still unfamiliar with this situation where they must call Scarlesia by the name ‘Yang Mulia’. Not only applies to them, even his father and brother also began to call him ‘Yang Mulia’ since he was crowned Emperor Evariste. Although Scarlesia told them to call her ‘Sia’ as usual, but they couldn't do it because it was the basic ethics of the empire.
“Can't you guys just talk to me as usual? I'm not used to hearing it,” Scarlesia said.
“Can't be so Your Majesty, you already know that. We can't do it unless it's in a non-formal atmosphere,” Oliver replied.
“We are now in the imperial party, we will call you as usual if we are not in a formal event like this,”.
Scarlesia exhaled a rough breath, she was unable to impose on them regarding this matter. It seemed like he was forced to follow her and force himself to get used to being formally summoned by them.
“Your Highness, do you have another sister?” chirp one of the nobles standing nearby.
“The other brother? No, I don't have.”
“Then who was with your sister?”
Scarlesia turned her gaze towards the direction the noble lady was referring to, apparently what she was referring to was her own father. Eldrick had a handsome face and was ageless despite his age of almost 50 years. Scarlesia was often surprised by her father's good looks and her good looks went down on her two older brothers. However, tonight his father looked more radiant and more handsome than usual. So, it was only natural that the noble lady pangling saw him and thought that he was Scarlesia's brother.
“Is my life surrounded by handsome men? I don't think there's a woman as lucky as me in this world. The paradise of women is on me, the inner” of Scarlesia.
Eldrick approached Scarlesia and extended his right hand to her.
“Your Majesty, will you dance with me?” ask Eldrick.
Without thinking any longer, Scarlesia immediately accepted Eldrick's invitation to dance.
“Good.”
“Is my Dad always this handsome?” scarlesia Goda.
“Your Majesty, your father is always handsome. That's why your mother was captivated by me,” reply Eldrick.
Scarlesia chuckled as she watched her footsteps to avoid stepping on Eldrick's feet.
“If you always dress up handsome like today, Mother who sees from up there could be jealous because your good looks are desired by women all over the world.”
“I will not be tempted because in my heart there is only your Mother. You should know for sure it's Your Majesty.”
Their interaction sounds funny when using formal language like today, it feels really uncomfortable for Scarlesia herself to talk formally with her father.
“Can you speak non formal on me?” ask Scarlesia.
“Can't be Your Majesty, this is an ethic that everyone should adhere to. Even though I am your Father, it is still not allowed to speak non-formally at formal events like now,” replied Eldrick.
Scarlesia was resigned, she had no other way and had to follow the current path.
“Alright, I'll try it even though it's a bit difficult.”
Eldrick smiled faintly looking at his daughter who had grown up in such a short period of time. In his little heart, he still wanted to play longer with Scarlesia but that was no longer possible now because Scarlesia's status carried a great responsibility to the people.
“Larissa, our son is grown. She's grown up to be a very beautiful woman, I hope you can see her now. Please keep an eye on him always,” hope Eldrick in his heart.
“KYAAAAA!!”
A woman screeched from the balcony, the sound of the screeches shocked everyone. Scarlesia and Eldrick stopped the dance to check what was going on there.
“What's up? Is there a problem here?” ask Scarlesia.
A noblewoman looked extremely frightened, some of her friends instantly calmed her down.
“I-itu Yang Mulia … a-ada mayat….”
The woman pointed towards the balcony, Scarlesia immediately turned her head in the direction she intended. It turned out that there was the body of an old man who was face down and drenched in blood, the knights swiftly saw who the man really was.
“Not the old man who likes to look for trouble in the city square?” snatch a man.
“He is no longer breathing Your Majesty,” said one of the knights.
Scarlesia also went to check the old man's body further, he checked his pulse and it is thought that he had just died. He had a stranglehold on his neck and a stab in his stomach, most likely the old man was killed by someone.
“Your Majesty, there is a letter in his left hand,”
