Not the Novel World
134. Lantern Night

The anticipated day had arrived, since the morning all the servants in the Palace were busy preparing everything for the smooth running of the event later that night. Lilian also prepared herself for the evening, the dress that Lilian wore was a dress that had a simple light green motif with small white flower carvings on the edges of the dress.

After all the servants finished preparing the dress and Lilian's hair. Seint went into his room and drove out all the servants in Lilian's room.

After all the servants came out, Seint pulled Lilian and took out some very sharp little knives that he had just brought. Seint sat Lilian down and pulled her foot to attach the little knives to Lilian's body.

"What are you doing Seiny?" Lilian asked confusedly.

"Prepare for all the possibilities that will happen." Answer Seint flat.

"What do you mean?" Lilian asked confusedly.

Seint sighed softly. "When the night of the lantern there will be a time when I can not accompany you. If that time comes, then use these tools to attack the person who is preventing you from escaping." Evidently.

"Why should I run away?" Lilian asked curiously.

Seint stared at Lilian very sharply. "We agreed from the beginning that it would keep women away from the scene of the attack to keep you out of harm's way." Answer Seint.

"But I have Citto who will protect me." Answer Seint.

"We can't know how many opponents we will face later!! Do not harm yourself, your job is to escape and bring the women with you to hide as long as we are fighting. Youunderstand?" Firm Seint.

Lilian nodded slowly. "If I have an obstacle as long as I escape?" Ask.

"That's why I put all these tools in your body. Use these tools when you feel desperate and stay with Citto! Her Majesty the Queen will also be directed to go with you so stay with them during the attack!!" Obviously Seint.

Lilian nodded her head in a sign she understood. Seint then placed all the tools on Lilian's body. Seint felt the need to do so to keep Lilian safe, as Seint was confident his opponents would later target Lilian.

Seint then gave Lilian a pouch containing some poison. "Use these poisons to fight the enemies later. I will prepare a sword and put it near you, If an attack occurs then run to get the sword." Obviously Seint.

Lilian nodded slowly again. "All right." The answer.

After all the tools were installed, Lilian finally exited her room carrying Citto and stepped towards where the lantern festival was held along with Seint.

°°°

Arriving Lilian can see there are a lot of people who attend the lantern festival. Not only nobles but ordinary people also enliven the event together. Lilian looked worriedly at the people who were now throwing sincere smiles at her.

There were also many small children who enlivened the atmosphere of the festival making Lilian even more sad if the attack was going to happen tonight, Lilian thought I don't know how many victims would have fallen if the attack had happened.

"You just need to be calm. We've prepared everything to keep the parents and their children away if there really is an attack later." Seint's whisper that managed to make Lilian calm.

Lilian was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief at Seint's remark, then decided to get off her horse carriage assisted by Seint. Lantern festivals are always held outside the Palace because it requires a large place to accommodate many people who want to release the lantern.

Lilian can see all the dresses that women use tonight look simple but still have the impression of luxury like her dress. The women create the dress with a very beautiful, simple but luxurious really a beautiful festival night theme if without attack.

Not long after King Reinal came with the Queen and behind her was Princess Evilian and First Concubine and Second Concubine. After taking each other's seats everyone finally lowered their heads and paid their respects to the royal family.

After paying his respects, King Reinal gave a few words as the opening message. After officially opening the event, King Reinal then handed the event to the Queen sitting next to him.

The queen smiled briefly then gave a few words and directly handed the rest to Lilian. "For tonight it is not me who will remove the lantern but the rightful Crown Princess. This task from now on will continue to be bestowed upon him until the appointed time arrives. To further shorten the time then I immediately let the Crown Princess to take over." Said Queen Elena with a smile.

Lilian finally got up from her seat and walked towards the seat of King Reinal and Queen Elena then lowered her head before the two to take the blessing. After receiving her blessing, Queen Elena gave Lilian a lantern with a picture of a poenix and cherry blossoms.

Lilian took the lantern and directed it to all the people who witnessed it from below. "Today is my first lantern festival as Crown Princess. For this reason, I hope that in the future our kingdom will remain safe and always have the protection of the Supreme Being. Be kept away from the bad guys and always prosper at all times." Pinta Lilian from the loud voice then Lilian raised her lantern high.

"Hold each of you lanterns and write down your hopes! Hopefully what you wrote on the lantern will be done soon." Said Lilian in a loud voice.

Seint approached Lilian and brought her a brush and ink to write her wishes on the lantern. Lilian wrote something on her lantern that made Seint smile as he read it.

Besides wanting to ask for peace and prosperity for the kingdom of Apollonia ... I wish Seint could recognize me and love me whenever and wherever I am.

Lilian Daisyla Marven

Seint picked up the brush and then added the inscription in Lilian's lantern.

I'll keep staring at Lilian Daisyla Marven. If it wasn't her then my heart would never have been moved by any woman before I found her.

King Alpenseint Balasz^^^^^

Lilian smilingly read Seint's writing then both of them pointed both hands at the lantern to immediately remove it.

"Everything ready?" Lilian asked loudly which answered boisterous voices by many people.

"In a count of three backwards then we'll release the lantern." Shouted Lilian.

"Three ... Two ... One ... Release." Lilian shouted as she took off her lanterns which began to fly high.

Lilian could see a very beautiful scene, there were thousands of lanterns flying up into the sky and bright like starlight. What a sight that Lilian might never get in her entire life. It is very beautiful even many bewitched many people to keep looking at the lights even though it has long passed.

Lilian finally regained her senses when Seint reminded her to release the lantern in the water again. Lilian walked towards the small river that was instantly given by everyone the way, Lilian also carried a small lillian that was already lined with something Lilian thought was very antique and beautiful. Together with many other women Lilian expressed her hope for Seint and then released the candle into the river until the beautiful scenery was again seen.

Drifting in the beauty of the lantern suddenly came the sound of an explosion and the moonlight began to dim. Lilian raised her face up to the sky as the full moon was in progress and the sound of explosions returned to Lilian's senses.

From afar Seint gave Lilian the code to retrieve a sword that Seint had deliberately stored where Lilian had released the candle. After seeing his sword, Lilian finally helped the women and children to avoid the place and went to the place Seint provided. Citto immediately ran towards Lilian as explosions rang out to protect the girl.
