Guests immediately applauded after listening to the speech. They turned their heads towards Neriya and Clafina who were seen walking into the main hall of the palace, heading up the altar.
After they arrived above the altar and looked towards the guests present there, Higarashi then appeared and stood right in front of the main hall entrance, it was as if he was waiting for someone to come to him. The entire guest immediately turned to him and looked at him in amazement.
He wears a black shirt and a formal suit that is the same color as his trousers, which is dark red.
“What a handsome Prince. Why would he fall in love with a Crossbreed?” asked a high-ranking official from one of the planets, as Higarashi was walking towards the top of the altar.
“Jeez, married to a Crossbreed?” ask other officials from other planets.
Suddenly, Keira came over from beside Higarashi, then clasped her lover's arm with her left hand and they now stepped together, heading up the altar. She wore a dark blue evening dress with light blue earrings, while holding a small bouquet of pastel blue flowers with her right hand.
Just the suddenness of his presence made all the guests present shocked. The atmosphere instantly changed, from calm to boisterous. They looked at Keira while asking each other about her. There were also some who actually stepped back in fear with eyes that glared sharply at the Princess from Palladina.
“Aura her cosmic energy is strong once!” whispered one of the princesses from another planet.
“Gosh, I could never sense the aura of cosmic energy from other immortals, and yet, that Crossbreed girl is completely different! Scary!” reply of another princess.
The tense atmosphere did not make the engagement party stop. As soon as Higarashi and Keira both arrived at the altar and stood facing each other, Leino, holding a small white jewelry box, stared at the two. This left the guests speechless and paying attention to the event again.
"Alright, then, His Highness Crown Prince Higarashi of Halida and His Highness Princess Keira of Palladina, we will begin this engagement event,” exclaimed Leino.
He then opened the jewelry box and gave it to Higarashi first. The Crown Prince of Halida then took a ring, then put it on the ring finger of Keira's right hand.
After that, Leino gave the town the jewelry to Keira and the girl then took another ring from there, then put it on the ring finger of Higarashi's left hand. The two of them were now holding hands while looking at each other, with affectionate gazes.
"I, His Highness Crown Prince Higarashi of Halida, hereby, officially bind Her Highness Princess Keira of Palladina, as my fiancee!" hygarashi.
However, a woman with black hair who was seen wearing a face cover from her nose to her neck and was standing in the corner of the main room, suddenly walked to the middle while pointing towards Keira.
"This engagement cannot continue! That girl is a Crossbreed! Didn't you all know that Crossbreed is a creature cursed by this universe?! Didn't you all receive information about him through the invitation you received? Look at that Crossbreed girl, even from birth, her mother was murdered, even Her late Queen Anexta of Palladina herself did not give her the title of crown princess! Why did it have to be hidden for so long until today? Wasn't the curse of the universe attached to him from the beginning?! Then why are you so calm, when danger is before your eyes!" yelled the woman.
Just contact all the guests who were present there, starting to return rowdy. Neriya and Klafina were immediately shocked after hearing the screams from the woman, as well as the four senior generals who were with Xyon, but not the Prime Minister of Palladina, Higarashi, and Keira. They looked at the woman with sharp eyes and a serious face.
Higarashi then removed one of his hands from Keira, and exclaimed until everyone came back to notice him, “What do you really want, Miss? This is my engagement party and Keira, and I don't want any fuss here.”
The woman then looked at Higarashi with sharp eyes and suddenly shouted again, "A Crossbreed who is able to control all the energy in the universe is a serious threat to us, ain't he?! Because he is too strong, none of you will be able to fight him. Who would dare to oppose his will? He could kill you if you can't please him!!"
"Keira is not that kind of girl! You never knew him, but you could judge him right away. What a strange thing, Miss!” hygarashi exclaimed with an annoyed face.
Keira could only be silent. His face was sad, but he could not say anything because indeed, what the woman said about him was true.
"Palladina's planet is already very strong, coupled with its ally, Planet Halida. But it seems that the Palladinas will grow too strong because the Crossbreed girl has returned here, right? Even now, Planet Halida also wants her power, by tying you to an engagement that will be continued by marriage. When will you, the Palladinas and the Halides, show off each other's powers?!" yelled the woman again, this time fiery.
Higarashi growled, he was about to get some bodyguards to expel the woman, but Keira suddenly grabbed him by the arm until he stopped his intention just now.
“Keira,” whispered Higarashi.
Keira then smiled at the woman and said, "I am right, just like you said. Yes, I'm a Crossbreed. I can control all the energy in the universe. You're right, too, I'm damned. This world wants balance, so the universe does not allow people like me to be here. However, I will try to stop the Silverians, and return to bring peace to the Metal Galaxy, with the power I have! I ... ask all of you to give me a chance, and I will prove that this curse is unproven!”
The woman let out a small laugh after listening to Keira just now.
