23. Aster Can't See

Along the way, Kris continued to explain how Aster should be when it arrived, from the beginning to the end of the ceremony. The sacred ceremony is performed before the rapture. Usually the appointment used to be a new ceremony, that's why the Fifth Prince was worried. The rapture session is longer than the ceremony, while the sun is getting higher, Aster should not make the slightest mistake. Or not, there is no chance of repeating because after the sun goes down is a haram time for rapture.

"Fifth Brother, I understand. Don't talk anymore." Aster rolled his eyes panted.

"really right? Let there be no mistake. Holy ceremonies are not as simple as they seem, nor do they need that whole."

Look who's nervous now. The Fifth Prince had already let out an overprotective aura to his sister. Grasping Aster's fingers so tightly, it was as if the Aster would stray into the deepest corner of the universe.

"Oh, I haven't told you the most important part of the sacred ceremony, which is the process of praying." Seriously nada. "You just need to remember this, when you get to the verse 'the position of bringing prosperity', you have to walk towards me."

"Why should?"

The Fifth Prince stared cynically. "I helped you yesterday, don't you want to return the favor? With you walking towards me, I can instantly rise to the position of First Prince."

Just now Aster put a good impression sticker on the Fifth Prince, it turns out that there is a shrimp behind the stone. But what Aster did not understand was the position of the First Prince. "Sister, can the first or last order change at will? I guess it depends on our turn to enter the Palace."

The Fifth Prince nodded. "It was originally so, but if you manage to do your duty, bringing a great contribution to the kingdom, the King will raise your status. Conversely, if you fail and do something that tarnishes the name of the kingdom, not only punished, your position is also overthrown."

"Is it that important?" mumbling Aster.

"You said something?"

Aster looked over with a surprised look. "Ah, no. I just think Big Brother can get to fifth position. There must be a lot of things going through."

"really. In the future, if you want to help me get first place. I am no longer the Fifth Prince or Fifth Brother, but the First Prince and you can call me First Brother. That way I can grant my wish in the future." Kris smiled broadly, revealing a row of white teeth. Enjoyed well, it turns out Kris has dimples on the left. How handsome.

The entrance to the ceremonial field opened by itself. It's magical! Aster further tightened the grip on Kris' arm. Everyone raised their gazes towards Aster, making the little girl break out in a cold sweat.

"What's your wish?" tanya Aster tries to eliminate the nervousness by bringing up the previous topic. Did not expect the participants who attended exceeded the estimate. The King and Queen also invited representatives from every palace in the entire kingdom. Of course everything came from the top five-ranked daughter son. If the total number is thousands.

"I will say my wish after getting your help" he whispered as he took off his armband with Aster. "Let's go."

The girl was confused. Like a chicken left by the mother. Kris took it off just like that, leaving Aster dazed amidst thousands of pairs of eyes. Ah, thinking! Remember how the Fifth Prince had already explained many things related to what he had to do during the ceremony.

"As soon as you enter, you must walk straight following the green grass. Do not step on them, they are like plant spirits that welcome the soul of a plant that has just been born as a human."

Kris' words a few minutes ago rang. Aster lowered his head, slightly raised the dress not to show the calf. So that the elder could see no grass touching the shoes. Before exiting the main pavilion, Kris had taught her the basic etiquette of dressing. It would be impolite to lift the skirt too high.

At the end of the green grass. Aster is now confronted by a pair of royal leaders. Right, Your Majesty the King and Queen.

"Don't forget to pay respect to both. You'll see a little chair between them. You may sit in their midst after the King orders you to get up. That seat is meaningless, that they both protect you."

Aster puts his right hand on his abdomen, then bends his knee as a sign of respect while asking for blessings.

"Honor Your Majesty the King, respect Your Majesty the Queen. May you both live long and healthy always."

The queen smiled kindly. "Sweet Girl, wake up" he said, stroking the top of Aster's head.

"Ekhem!" deham Raja glanced dislike. "Stay on your knees!"

Aster who was half standing back down. He did not understand why the King did not ask to 'wake up' as Kris explained. His face was red and embarrassed. While the girl sitting next to the King also stared dislikefully. Huft, life in the Palace will be difficult.

Kris sat on the Queen's left wing, exhaling a tired breath. "This child, does not even know assume the existence of the King. Just hearing the Queen's words."

Then the sacred ceremony became the most grueling historic ceremony for Aster. Kneel for hours. Sweat is like a river flowing. Rain sweat for Aster. The independence ceremony alone is not this bad.

"Supervising prayer." There goes. This is the last show that Kris has been waiting for.

The top five positions in the Palace were directed to stand. Then they occupy their respective positions at each point. When connected with a line, then the five form a fifth. Aster was also directed to stand in the middle while looking down, closing his eyes, hearing every word solemnly.

Now Aster will hear prayers from the top five positions.

"...."

Hyaline? Why silence?

Silent for a second, Aster knitted his eyebrows.

Two seconds quiet, Aster opened his eyes because he wanted to see the situation.

Silent three seconds, Aster pecked in place. Everything turned pitch-black.

"Position brings prosperity. The trees face autumn. The river water is red. Souls carried by the stream of life, may they survive death."

These words came from the front. Kris says when he gets to the verse "Position brings prosperity", he has to walk towards it. However, for some reason Aster's sight suddenly darkened.

On the other hand, Kris continued to observe the movements of the girl not far ahead. He gulped as Aster stepped forward hesitantly. Brow wrinkled. Something's wrong with that girl. He did not walk towards Chris.

"Eragh!" the Fifth Prince's Ringis felt a small thorn gently pierce the sole of his foot. The first princess. It was the Fifth Prince's turn to say a prayer.

He took a breath. "As a perennial flower that keeps blooming. Love is adorned all year round. May happiness always be present."

The Fifth Prince said a prayer out loud, hoping Aster could hear it. The first princess who heard the sound was shocked. Kris deliberately chose the body of a teenage boy because his nature is still energetic, but hundreds of years, he never as eager to say a prayer.

Then Aster was stunned as his gaze returned to how it was and the one who grabbed his hand was not the Fifth Prince. "You ...?"

"The eyes that don't want to get out of my face. Do you like me, hm?" teased the man while chuckling.

Aster frowning dislikes. "Who are you?"

If not for the sacred ceremony is very sacred, Aster would not continue to hold the hand of the man next to him full of disgust. It felt awkward, he had come with the Fifth Prince, yet came out with a stranger. Aster looked up at Kris. Then he got a hard-to-picture look. Then from afar, Kris smiled at him as if nothing had happened. Aster touched his painful heartbeat, he felt very guilty.
