Arriving at the palace dining room...
The ministers welcomed me and Rain. They bowed their bodies, saluted. With a smile, I returned their greeting. I saw the king looking surprised when he saw me coming with Rain. Cloud has not arrived yet.
Where is he?
Cloud came soon, but he was with the princess. Princess of Aksara Country. Cloud looked unwell when he saw me. He immediately let go of the princess.
I should be able to decipher it. Cloud is carrying out the government's duties.
I tried to smile when I saw her coming. He chose to sit by my side.
The four ministers sat on the right side of the king. I was with the two princes and the princess sitting on her left side. I was flanked by the two princes. Rain on the right and Cloud on my left.
Dinner starts soon. The opening dishes were well served. As always, I must serve these two crown princes. The princess seemed to have taken her own opening meal.
Some questions came from the king to the princess. Implied indirectly the king gave his ultimatum to the Aksara. Now I'm starting to understand a little bit how royal politics plays out.
"I've sent a letter to your father, Princess. You can stay here, but your father has to pay all the damages for his actions. But if he refuses, I'll have to give you back." The king said firmly.
The princess seemed silent. He seemed to be contemplating his fate. I don't know what's on his mind right now.
I remembered the words of the great elder, to be careful in every reception of guests who came to the palace. What did the great elder mean was this princess? I don't know it myself.
I wanted to read the black book and discover who I really was. Is it true that I am the girl destined for this country? Or is there another girl?
The longer I watched, it was like there was a powerful magnet pushing me to help solve the problem in this country. I feel able to break the tangled thread that is going on.
Maybe I should ask the king directly.
I sat among the words of the king with his ministers. The two crown princes seemed to be listening silently. Until dinner was over, both Rain and Cloud were silent. Not saying a word either.
The meeting began...
The princess named Andelin was asked by the king to wait for a decision about the actions of Space against his country. The princess said, she was waiting for the next news. While I was alone with the ministers and the two princes started an internal royal meeting.
We were in a special room that wasn't too big. Initially, the ministers were asked to report the results of their performance to the king. After that, Cloud and Rain. And now it's my turn to respond.
Honestly, I don't know much about royal politics. I also do not really understand how the up-and-down trade of this country. I'm a city plan graduate who used to design things. Whether it is the building, location or other things related to designing.
I put all the fashion shows in front of them. The king then considered what I suggested. And finally, a decision was found after hours in the meeting room.
"alright. Three weeks of fashion shows will be held. I hope everyone can prepare for it."
The division of tasks has been done. We work according to our own responsibilities. Without neglecting the daily tasks that must always be completed.
The king himself acts as the overseer of the event. The invitation plan will be made tomorrow.
"I want this palace renovated in the next week. Can you finish it, my sons?"
The king asked Cloud and Rain to work together to renew the palace. Both accepted his father's request. I can breathe a little relieved when the two are no longer in conflict. It seems that the king has spoken to both of them without me knowing.
The meeting led by the king was finally completed. I immediately rushed back to the room as it turned out to be almost in the middle of the night. This time I was ushered in by the Minister of the Interior, Count.
"Miss, the king will invite forty lands in the near future. Do we have to make a big stage?" askinya.
"I think we're using the main room only, Minister Count. The main room is so big. Let the princes and princesses sit on the red carpet alone" I replied straightforwardly.
"What if the king and queen of another country come?" ask again.
"I think we can use the terrace on the second and third floors, so that the king and queen can see it clearly."
"So separated?"
"Yes, right. I want no gap between the prince and the princess of another kingdom. I want them to mix and get to know each other. But keep separate the place between the prince and his daughter." I'm proceeding.
"Alright, Miss. I understand."
We finally parted ways, right at the entrance of the southern area of the palace. Not far from my room.
A big show is coming up soon. I have to give my best to this kingdom. A round determination was already ingrained in my heart. Now is the time to show my skills.
I am a village girl. Born from an underprivileged family. But I'm sure I have the ability to surpass even the king's daughter. I'm sure I can.
The next day...
This morning my students gathered on the terrace. I just woke up. I see their enthusiasm to participate is huge.
"Good greetings to Miss Ara."
They greeted me while bowing as I opened the door. Soon I took the cell phone and asked them to practice on their own until I finished taking a shower.
They looked astonished at what I was carrying, but I just ignored it. My focus is on training them.
After the shower, I wore the dress that Mbok Asri brought me. Rain's cream-colored gifting dress. Long-sleeved with the base falling to cover the eyes of the feet. The dress is so light that it makes me free to move.
"Well, we start the third movement, yeah."
I also started dancing the core moves. The song All That I Need. They seem so excited. The positive energy I was able to feel that made my spirit come into flames.
"That's amazing!"
I applauded my ten dancers. I then asked them to repeat the movements in the second part of the song. Repeating the movement from the beginning, but with different lyrics. Every day they can finally memorize this dance movement well.
"Tomorrow again, yeah. Don't forget to come here early in the morning" I said as they said goodbye.
"Finally finished too. Second song, dance song. What song am I wearing, huh?"
For a moment I thought what song was worth using for a dance. I remember Uncle Mozart. I rushed to Cloud to ask permission to meet with Uncle Mozart, a musician from a foreign land.
