The Empress So the Debutant
The Goddess of Lotus

Seeing her handmaid father who was cornered Maeli Su also stood up "Dad handa calm down, trust everything to your daughter, this daughter of yours promised never to disappoint father handa" maeli Su said sincerely while bringing her hand father to sit back.

What made Ray Su afraid was not to lose his good name but what he feared was that his beloved daughter would bear the shame not only in this empire but throughout the empire that existed in the central continent because at this time several people from all over the empire attended this celebration and it could affect both the mental as well as the future of his daughter.

For Ray Su quite first all the insults lead to his daughter, quite first he saw sadness in his daughter's eyes, at the moment he just wants his daughter to live a peaceful life according to what his daughter expects plus today is a new day for his daughter because of the face that was once very bad due to the many injuries it has now recovered without leaving even the slightest trace.

Maeli Su also advanced to the place that had been provided, before she had first brought a scarf in her hand.

"Honor to the emperor, congratulations on getting older may the emperor always be blessed with long life" Maeli Su said as she bowed to the emperor, then stood up after the emperor told him to stand up.

"Allow me who does not have this talent to perform a dance, I hope not to be laughed at and can entertain all who are here" said Maeli Su.

Hearing that everyone in the room was seen holding back laughter, because they knew very well how the first daughter of the Su family got the title of trash, ugly, the guests wondered why a woman dared to come forward and try to perform a dance in front of many people while she had no talent, moreover, there was currently emperor Hong who was the strongest emperor what if he only treated himself.

"Emperor if I should stop the girl's appearance, I'm afraid that her appearance will only ruin your sight" Emperor Hong's personal bodyguard said.

Emperor Hong shook his head as a sign that he did not want the girl's appearance to be stopped, his personal bodyguard understood this and glanced at Emperor Hong who was covered by a thin cloth from the large hat he was wearing.

"Well, did I see wrong it seemed the emperor was smiling" Leno's inner imperial bodyguard rubbed her eyes even though what she saw was only faint, as her emperor's face was covered in cloth from the hat she was wearing.

All the loyal subordinates of emperor Hong knew why emperor Hong was wearing a large hat next to which was a cloth to cover his face, the reason the Hong emperor simply did not want the women to approach him and continuously teased him was because for the Hong emperor it was so disturbing that he asked his subordinates to spread rumors if the Hong emperor had a disability on his face for that reason the emperor Hong always used a large hat with a cloth as a face covering.

At first the rumors were not completely trusted but after seeing the appearance of emperor Hong they also discussed the rumor even it was not only circulating in the western empire but also throughout the empire.

"What good is it to marry a disabled man, even though he is the emperor" those are the words that women and men throughout the empire in this continent have always said.

For them a trash or a foot defect can still be understood but if the defect in the face then there is no word recognition at all, because the face becomes a very important benchmark here, because the face is a very important benchmark here, and that was also what made Maeli Su so hated.

All eyes were amazed to see the movements made by Maeli Su where she looked very graceful, agile and also full of energy even her hands looked very weak as someone who had long practiced.

"Why can that ugly piece of trash dance that well? Damn it, why don't I know that" the inner Lira Su who was looking with a hateful look was accompanied by envy.

Ray Su was so happy to see his daughter dancing so beautifully and deep down he was so amazed by her current figure of "My son's father is so proud of you" ray Su's inner self while smiling widely saw the appearance of his favorite child.

Without feeling the appearance was finished, all in the room clapped their hands very lively and they all unceasingly praised the appearance of Maeli Su.

"Thank you for watching my performance, I beg you to resign to return to my original seat" said Maeli Su who then saluted the emperor and returned to his original place.

Along his way back to his seat he heard so much praise not only from the young but also from the old, even experts in the field of art and literature were very praising his performance, because very rarely there are people who can perform the dance of the goddess Lotus as perfect as it.

Maeli Su sat down beside her mother and younger brother, with her hands immediately held by the two while giving her unceasing words of praise.

"Nonsense indeed why if your dance is good, garbage is still trash wait I will immediately show your ugly face to all those present at this celebration, let's see if they'll still continue to praise you" Inner Lira Su who was furious over what had happened.

The event was stopped because Maeli Su did not ask or allow someone to display his talent, he also only realized it until immediately he stood up while bowing his body.

"I apologize to the emperor, the invited guests and everyone present, for being a little tired I forgot to ask someone to continue the show, so now I ask my third sister Eli Su to perform a beautiful sword dance" explained Maeli Su.

Everyone in the room understood what Maeli Su was doing, especially the experts, because they knew how difficult the dance was and how much energy was needed to complete the dance, although it was actually for Maeli Su herself that it was not a draining thing, for her it only seemed to expend energy while walking.

Consort Aria was very happy because Maeli Su gave the opportunity for her son Eli Su to perform, because all this time Eli Su had never been called to perform at any celebration it was not because he had no talent but no one called him forward to perform.

Although Lira Su always appear at every celebration she only gives the opportunity to perform for her sister Mira Su while after Mira Su will give the opportunity to perform for others.
