One and Only
138 - Dance.
In the evening Yura entered the grand hall of the Royal Palace to attend the victory welcoming party in an emerald green dress. The girl looked graceful and beautified with hair partially rolled up with a pin clip ornament and left to scrape on most of it.
As soon as Yura stepped inside the grand hall of the Royal Palace, all eyes were on her as if her beauty was able to grab the attention of the entire party attendees who were all men, all of them were men, except for the female servants who were there as well.
Unlike the time on the battlefield that made her look like a tough girl, there Yura walked elegantly towards the King as the party leader this time.
Yura immediately bowed respectfully when faced with the King. Paying respect like a noble girl and no longer like a tough soldier.
"Greetings to His Majesty" said Yura
"Finally you showed up too, Sister-in-law ." said the King.
"I'm sorry for my delay, Your Majesty" Yura said
"I understand if you have to prepare yourself before you go to this party. Take care of your body, Yura. For now all those present could forget for a moment the formality during the party. I hope everyone here enjoys the party this time" said the King
"Alright, Your Majesty the King .. "said Yura who straightened up his body.
"I have a question. As your achievements and contributions in winning the war this time, what do you want as a reward?" ask the King
"Discover to answer first. If given the opportunity to ask, I want time off. Regardless of what I do, I want it to be free from all work" Yura replied
"That's not a special request. Don't you have any other requests, Yura?" ask the King
"Nothing, Sire. That's all I need" Yura replied
"A very reasonable and understandable request. Yes, all of you do need time free from work to enjoy time with family and the closest people. Regardless of whatever else you want, I will give time off for all of you who are free to determine when you want to take this time off. However, any of you who want to take this holiday ration still have to ask permission from the Royal Palace first" said the King
Just then, Yasha stepped forward towards Yura and faced the King.
"Sister-in-law, do you have any special requests?" ask the King
"Nothing, Sire. I'm stepping forward to you because there's something I want to give you" Yasha replied
"You mean that box you brought? What is that really?" ask the King
"This box contains the land letters from the 5 regions of the Brande Kingdom State that we managed to obtain and now all five regions have become part of the Chuya Kingdom State. Forgive me for being late and just giving it up now for forgetting. As the Leader of the State, I hand over the box that I have mentioned to you," said Yasha who continued to step forward to give the box she brought to the King.
"What you are giving me right now means proving that we have expanded the territory of the State of the Chuya Kingdom. This is thanks to all of you who have contributed" said the King
Yasha again stepped back to align herself with Yura.
"Is there nothing else you want to tell me, Yasha? Like you wanted to make a request?" ask the King
"Nothing, Sire. My request is no different from the one requested by Yura and I will ask the Royal Palace for permission before taking the holiday later" Yasha replied
"alright. What else does not have and want to tell me your request?" ask the King
"Alright, you can think about it slowly first. You can say it whenever you want" said the King
"Today is a very happy day. Because in addition to all of you having returned with victory over the war, today the third child and Crown Princess of the Kingdom of Chuya has been born," continued the King
"Congratulations to His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Queen!"
"Thank you for the congratulations from all of you. Therefore on this happy day, I also want to make a request. It is unfortunate that Her Majesty the Queen could not attend the party this time after her delivery. So, I want Arvan and Yura to take the place of the two of us for the dance" said the King
Arvan who accompanied the King by standing on his back side and Yura who was in the presence of the King were both shocked to hear the request that had just been thrown by the King.
"Sorry, Your Majesty. This time the event was only attended by the entire army of the State of Chuya Kingdom. What exactly is the dance for?" ask Yura
"Again, if you really want someone to dance, it can be done by yourself. It doesn't matter if you dance with your sister-in-law. Or else, let the Haris brothers do it" Arvan said
"I'm sorry, but I'm not good at dancing ." said Yasha.
"There's no harm in you two making a special request from me just this time. I think the others also want to see you dance" said the King
In the end, the King pushed forward Arvan to come face to face with Yura. If Arvan had not been quick to stop his steps when pushed by the King, it might have been that the man had hugged Yura by accident.
"It seems like the King's movements are too strong. Are you okay, Arvan?" yura asked in a soft and quiet voice.
"Yes, fortunately His Majesty only encouraged me not to draw a weapon on me" replied Arvan
"It looks like you're still in the shadow of a battlefield full of weapons" Yura said
"Yura, how about we just do it at the request of His Majesty? His Majesty will not let us go before fulfilling his request" Arvan said as he extended his hand to be greeted by Yura.
"All right, then. It seems like we have no other choice" Yura said as she reached out to welcome the empty Arvan hand before her.
Suddenly the music was heard. Then, Arvan and Yura stepped into the middle position of the room. The two greeted each other before they started dancing. After that what happens is that all eyes focus on the two people who dance together.
"Is His Majesty indeed marrying his sister-in-law to his best worker?"
"Chairman Yasha also had no comment whatsoever, has she already approved of her sister's relationship with the Great Advisory Lord?"
"That's not the most important thing. But, is the relationship between the two really true between Mr Arvan and Miss Yura?"
"Either way, the most important thing is that they both seem harmonious and perfectly matched."
"If you want to talk about blessing, brother is not important. What matters is the blessing of both parents. However, it seems that mister and mistress Haris would definitely be grateful if his future son-in-law was a great and respected man like Mr. Arvan."
"Are you aware that Miss Yura is looking very beautiful and different this time? Unlike on the battlefield who always wears a pants suit and tied hair, now Miss Yura wears a dress with hair draped. It looks so graceful, it's fitting that Mr. Arvan likes it."
Just before the music stopped, someone entered the great hall of the Royal Palace. It was Mr and Mrs Haris. The couple of the Earl family were shocked by what was seen in the middle of the large hall. After the dance music stops, it is now Yura's turn to be surprised to see the arrival of her parents there right after she and Arvan greet each other after the dance ends.
