THE DESTINY OF THE SUN AND THE MOON
CHAPTER 30 - HUNTING GAME PART II

Our horse-drawn carriage started to arrive at the town hall. The atmosphere looked so lively because on every street, there were so many citizens who came to see the Imperial family's horse carriage troupe.

They looked so happy and called out to us. Mom and Dad looked over, smiling as they raised their right to greet the shelves, which were standing along the road we passed. His first son also did the same thing that Mother and Emperor did.

But I didn't do it. He was all the way, somehow I felt so depressed. The cries of the people who were praising the members of the Imperial family somehow reminded me of the previous life in which they cheered me with passion and also hatred for the false accusation for my death live fires for offerings to the Sun God.

it feels so uncomfortable...

"Vivi why?"

I immediately gasped when I heard the question from Crown Prince Castor, I immediately turned to him and saw him looking at me with a gaze filled with worry.

I shook my head at him and forced a big smile on him, "It's okay, Brother Castor. It's my first day out of the palace, so I'm a little nervous"

Crown Prince Castor looked at me deeply and then not long after he sighed and patted my head gently and stroked my hair gently, "Alright then. But if Vivi feels sick or does something, just say it to Brother or Mom and Dad"

I nodded and turned my head to look at the horse when it was being rode by Prince Helios and Prince Blaze.

Prince Helios seemed to do the same to what Mother, Emperor and Crown Prince Castor (tadi) did. While Prince Blaze somehow looks moody and looks at the residents with a blank look.

It's very strange.... What happened to Prince Blaze? As I recall at every event like this, he was the one who was the most excited to greet the people with his big smile. But why would he do something so different now? Did anything make her mood worse?

Unknowingly, I kept looking at him straight. Prince Blaze seemed to realize that and as his golden-yellow eyes glanced forward, he immediately gasped a little in shock but not long after a big smile formed on his face then silently, full of shock, he waved his hand at me.

I laughed awkwardly and returned the wave of his hand by waving my hand too.

Next to him, Prince Helios looked upset and directly hit Prince Blaze on the head and made Prince Blaze hold his head then not long after he started shouting protests to Prince Helios for hitting him.

I laughed a little at the behavior of the two of them, Crown Prince Castor, who heard my laughter, looked back and saw Prince Helios and Prince Blaze, arguing on the third train they were riding on.

"Based on both of them...." Crown Prince Castor's sigh in a tired tone while shaking his head.

This trip is actually not too long because the distance between the city hall and Nature Forest is quite close and just know we have arrived at Nature Forest, the place where the Hunting Competition is held.

When we arrived, it was seen the nobles who liked to get here first. Seeing our arrival, the members of the Imperial family, they immediately lowered their heads and saluted with noble etiquette.

I got off the train with Crown Prince Castor holding me. My eyes found large white tents that were already lined up neatly here.

Now, my eyes explain a little about this Hunting Competition. This Hunting match is held for two anniversary of the noble families and will also spend the night in this forest, so the tent is provided for each family to spend the night in this forest.

Don't worry about the security because these tents are already fitted with powerful barrier magic by the Imperial Magicians. So there is no need to worry about the attacks of wild animals here. Then the time limit for hunting itself is only six hours a day, starting from ten in the morning to four in the afternoon and the rest will be held a banquet at night. The second day is the same as the first day, then on the second day it was announced who was the winner of this hunting match and then will be held a closing party until nine pm last night after that everyone who participated in the event this hunting match will return to their respective residences.

While the men were busy with this hunting game, the women spent their time relaxing while having a tea party. This also explains the event for women to gossip about what happens in the social life of the nobles as well as the event to demean each other, he said, cornered and also attacked with those sweet yet piercing words.

In her previous life, the Emperor's mistress aka Kayla and her daughter Emira for a short time could attract the attention of the noble ladies who had initially demeaned them. But they also get the recognition of the noble woman easily but the attacks of the noble women were directed at me.

I remember it very clearly when they humbled me blatantly and upheld the names of Kayla and Emira, forgetting their attitude that used to uphold the name of Mother as well as me....

This time I will not be lulled again with their venomous words again as they used to praise me. It will never be again.

The emperor delivered his speech briefly. I myself remained silent without regard to the Emperor's speech while everyone else in my sight seemed to be listening to this speech solemnly.

"WITH THIS, THIS YEAR'S EILIDH EMPIRE HUNTING MATCH WILL BEGIN!" Exclaimed the Emperor who finally opened this hunting match event.

The sound of applause took place was heard so lively and not long after the men began to get ready for this hunting match.

And... This is what the noble women are waiting for - giving the handkerchiefs they embroider to the men who are their spouses or their families.

Bella appeared to approach us and walked straight to Prince Helios and gave him a handkerchief to Prince Helios.

"Prince Helios, accept this handkerchief that I have embroidered with all my heart" said Bella with a sweet smile on her face.

Mother herself seemed to give her handkerchief to the Emperor and the Emperor seemed so happy to accept it and kissed Mother on the forehead so gently.

The nobles who saw this romantic moment between the Emperor and the Imperial Empress seemed to be air-conditioned and praised how romantic the Emperor was to their Empress.

Mother herself only smiled thinly but both her eyes seemed empty and hollow. Uh... Whatisit?

From a long time ago I only knew the romance and harmony they always showed in front of everyone until finally the mistress revealed her dark relationship with the Emperor and also announced the existence of Emira as another Princess the Eilidh Empire.

It hasn't happened yet but why... Mom looks so sad?

"LIVI!!!!! WHERE'S THE HANDKERCHIEF FOR YOUR BELOVED BROTHER BLAZE!!!" Shouted Prince Blaze who instantly awakened me from my daydream.

"A-ah yeah!"

I also immediately took the handkerchief that I had embroidered which was in the sling bag that I had been wearing and immediately approached me Prince Blaze.

"This is for Brother Blaze" I said as I handed Prince Blaze a handkerchief.

With trembling hands, a flushed face and sparkling eyes he received the handkerchief.

"THIS IS SO GOOD!!!" Shouted Prince Blaze when he saw the handkerchief embroidery.

I embroidered the Imperial coat of arms of Eilidh and the name 'Blaze' for him, and I handed the Emperor and Crown Prince Castor two other handkerchiefs.

They also seemed happy to receive a handkerchief from me, their embroidery was the same as Prince Blaze but with their respective names.

"Jeez Vivi, this is so beautiful!" Excited Mother who saw the results of my embroidery.

"You're right, my Empress. This embroidery is so beautiful and and and so detailed! I can't believe this is the work of my seven-year-old daughter Vivi!" Exclaimed the Emperor who showered me with praise.

"I-I will display it in my room with a golden figura!" Prince Blaze.

The Crown Prince stroked my hair gently, "Vivi thank you for this beautiful embroidery huh. Brother will keep it well"

I nodded in return then looked towards Prince Helios who was looking straight at me while Bella who was next to him was seen staring at me with a gaze.... No like?

"Where for me, Vivi?" Ask Prince Helios.

"I didn't make it for Brother Helios because I got it from Sister Miss Bella Aelesha Curt. So I just made it for Castor and Blaze" I replied to him.

Instantly Prince Helios' face was seen looking at me with a displeased and disappointed look, "Then is Father in love?"

"Emm? Because the material to make the handkerchief is still there so I made it for Dad too" replied me with a tone that was plain-ploshed.

The emperor looked stunned with a gloomy aura that started to pour out from his body then started muttering, "Just leftovers huh...."

Crown Prince Castor who was standing next to the Emperor patted the Emperor on the shoulder quietly, "It's okay Dad... What's important is that you can, rather than Helios who wasn't made at all"

Prince Helios looks very disappointed but I don't care about him anymore. I went back to Crown Prince Castor who was holding me again.

As I look around the atmosphere, my eyes caught the figure of a long silvery-white-haired girl and very beautiful sea-blue eyes were staring at us while holding a handkerchief with a thin blushing face.

I immediately gasped when I saw the girl instantly reminding me of the incident of the hunting match that I first participated in which meant this time!

The incident was when a reckless noble daughter walked out of the magic barrier boundary and walked through the forest alone without a weapon that made her die instantly from being attacked by wild beasts!

And that silvery-white-haired, blue-eyed girl was the victim of that accident!

She is Miss Arcadia Erickson, daughter of Duke Erickson!
