Once Again Into the Light, Alone - Chapter 8
Time passed, and finally my birthday party arrived.
His Majesty’s announcement that the banquet will last for a month is well known in the capital.
Although this fact itself is surprising, his propaganda is strong enough to embarrass me.
He said that although banquets are held in the palace, celebrations will also be held for a period of time in the capital and across the country.
In addition, the dramas, art festivals, and poverty relief projects named after me are really jaw-dropping.
I think this is a bit too much. Thinking of the people’s hard work to prepare for this, I feel a little annoyed.
Today is the first day of the banquet
Because of security issues and my fear of living, I only show up on the first day of the birthday party.
Therefore, the opening ceremonies of various highlights and gifts were held on the first day of the banquet.
On my birthday, for the first time to show my maids to the public, they are more nervous and excited than ever.
“Got it? Today, you must dress your Royal Highness as the most beautiful in the world!”
“It was the most beautiful in the world!”
“In that case, what I want to pursue today is perfection above perfection!”
“it is good!”
So they are dressing me happily, dressing me, dressing me up…
In the end I found myself wearing a long dress with pink ruffles and a small and exquisite silver headpiece.
Facing the mirror, I am no longer an angel without wings, because behind me there are fantasy wings shining, just like today.
In order not to burden the children, they deliberately hung a sapphire the size of my fist with “lightweight magic” around my neck.
I heard that the emperor stole the national treasure safe deposit box for me.
The empress also dressed up very much, and came back and hugged me tightly for a while. She wore a pink dress that matched me, more beautiful than ever. She kissed me on the cheek and smiled happily.
“My sweet baby.” Then she hugged me into the reception room.
As soon as the white lace curtains by the window opened, loud noises poured in.
The light elves who always hover around me dance happily, and they seem to know that today is a happy day.
Although the windows are closed tightly, because the glass is as clear and transparent as water, the panoramic view of the capital can be seen.
The capital is immersed in the atmosphere of the celebration. The pink petals are all over the capital. From the thin, flowing petals, I infer that is Elmia flower.
The empress whispered to me:
“For your birthday, everyone will celebrated it so warmly.”
I looked down blankly, people seemed so excited.
“Because everyone loves you.”
I couldn’t help but lift the corner of the empress’s clothes.
“Aisha!” she said, the empress smiled happily.
Looking at her, I thought to myself, what is love?
The love of the empress, the emperor and Isis is like a debridement medicine, making my painful wounds heal little by little. That love is like the warm sun, always holding me in his arms.
We watched the scenery outside the window for a while.
The sound of celebration music was faintly heard in the distance.
“How long has the time passed?” The empress smiled softly
“Happy birthday to you, Aisha.”
I have been born again for a year.
I stared into the empress’s eyes, and then smiled slightly.
Today I will enter the banquet hall with the queen and Isis. It is not an exaggeration to say that all the nobles in the capital have come to the ceremony in the afternoon. Seeing the carriages crowded in front of the palace and the endless nobles coming down from it, I was almost overwhelmed by the momentum.
Before the banquet started, Isis came to the reception room to find us. I am completely used to this situation.
“Aisha!”
He wore a light blue suit with golden buttons. Although he is still very young, the demeanor and majesty of the crown prince can be seen from his upright appearance.
“Today is so beautiful! So cute! Aisha!”
However, this majesty soon disappeared. He was spinning around me, racking his brains to shout out all the gorgeous compliments he knew.
“My sister is the best.” He smiled happily.
“Happy birthday, and stay with me all the time, we will stay together forever!”
He looked at me like a bird and talked. The empress looked at him like this and smiled softly.
Isis said to me cute for a long time, and then pestered the queen.
“Can I take Aisha to the banquet hall?”
To the banquet hall.
The empress thought about it.
The distance from here to the banquet hall is quite long, Isis wonders if it can bear it.
But then she believed in Isis’s ability that even bears could catch.
“Okay, but be careful, Aisha is very fragile.”
“Of course!”
In the end, I was held by Isis and entered.
Isis seemed very happy, with a bright smile on his face.
Soon after, we entered the banquet hall.
Was it because countless maids followed us, or was it because we saw a large number of nobles outside the window? I can feel the tension of the queen.
Walking through the long corridor, the banquet hall door is in front.
“Well, let’s go in?” The two gatekeepers bowed deeply behind the empress.
There will be many nobles waiting to see me. This is very troublesome. My every move will attract their attention, just like my previous life.
Since my debut at the age of 12, in order to be perfect in the social world, I have been doing my best to match the honor of being “the Princess born of a Empress”.
I don’t know if this is the reason. Every time I hold a banquet, I can’t drink a sip of water all day. Because I was so nervous that all the food seemed to be vomiting out.
“It’s okay?”
Looking back on the scene at the time, my face was gloomy unconsciously. Isis seemed to be aware of my thoughts and hugged me tightly.
His grass-green eyes looked at me with a kind smile.
“Aisha, let’s laugh together!”
His inexplicable remark made me blink.
ㅡWhy are you laughing suddenly?
For this kind of me, Isis explained.
He said: “What I care most about is whether Aisha feels happy today. This banquet was held for this. Everyone gathered here for this.”
Moreover, laughing is also helpful to eliminate tension. So let’s laugh together!”
Isis didn’t say anything, but smiled brightly at me.
“is it?”
The funny thing is that I was moved by his words.
I have nothing to do.
Do nothing.
I’m just a 1-year-old kid now, and I’ll be praised just by sitting casually.
There is no need to have a burden, and this is not a social place where you can bite each other tightly as before.
should be no problem.
I decided to relax.
When he finished speaking, the doorman slowly opened the door of the huge banquet hall.
The banquet kicked off.
The gatekeeper raised his voice and shouted into the door:
“Empress Iris de Hermi, Prince Isis de Hermi, and-“
I took a breath.
“The Princess Aisha de Hermi is here!”
At this moment, the nobles happily wanted to see Aisha’s figure.
So far, the first princess of the empire “Aisha de Hermi” has not been exposed to the outside world.
For security reasons, it is not new that the royals do not appear in formal occasions. But the situation of Princess Aisha is quite serious. Except for the palace people, no one has seen her. The extent can be imagined.
This is what they want to know.
“How can he hold a one-month banquet for the princess?”
Of course, at the first birthday of Isis and the canonization ceremony of the crown prince, the banquet was also so long.
But among them Isis is the heir.
It’s not that it’s impossible for the princess to be the empress, but as long as there is an heir named Isis, Aisha has almost no chance.
In this way, it would not be an exaggeration to not hold a banquet.
Is it just for fairness?
