After Rain's

Episode 16: The Feast of the Women

The bustling living room, all the women were wearing her best casual dress. Trying to look simple but fashionable. They are not allowed to wear expensive dresses that are beautiful or show curves, but a simple dress, because it is believed that the ability to look a woman will be tested.

Women who are truly ethical and educated will still charm with simple dress and natural makeup. Not for today's main star is the future Crown Princess, Navier. She wears a clean white dress with a border or gold painting as her pattern.

Gold-colored patterns are only intended for the royal family to attend the banquet held by the kingdom.

“Happy Crown Princess Navier. And welcome to the Magellan royal family. I hope we can share stories and thoughts for the future.” The wife of Prince Regulus, Lady Anita. Lady Anita introduces her two daughters, Princess Alhena and Princess Aquila.

“Include my two daughters, Princess Alhena..” mentioned politely bow and “... Princess Aquila.”.

Navier replied with a nod and a smile, at least that was what his etiquette teachers taught him in welcoming family members who were no higher than him, however, as a form of courtesy the Crown Princess should nod her head as a form of respect for other members of the royal family.

“I heard a lot that Lady Anita's two daughters are great women, a lot of engaging in social activities. It was amazing.” mama Crown Princess Navier chimed these two Princesses with praise.

Lady Anita smiled, “Ah. Lady Giselle, we can have tea while chatting with some of the women there and let our daughter know each other. How?” lady Anita's.

“Sure.” He said with a smile. “I hope you enjoy this banquet,” he added while taking turns looking at the three princesses. And they smiled and then nodded.

Navier tried to be friendly with the brothers of her future husband, although it felt like his mind was still attached to the man who had been her lover, Sirius. But look at the latest news, which highlights Princess Aquila who is becoming an internet star today. His heart was again tight, the woman who was with Sirius was in front of his eyes.

All those exaggerated thoughts were coming back to his mind at this moment, was it because of Princess Aquila, Sirius ended their relationship?

“Crown Princess, are you not feeling well? Your face looks pale?” Princess Alhena asked looked like she was worried.

Navier came to a quick realization from his own thoughts and tried to display the friendliest smile, “no, I'm fine. Perhaps her excessive makeup,” Navier is trying to distract.

“Ah... Your skin is clean white, so no need to overdo it. Your makeup artist made a mistake,” Princess Aquila gave her comment. This woman looks resolute behind her sweet face. She was seen as a princess candidate who was always young. You could say among the women present here, Princess Aquila was the one who stood out, probably because Prince Regulus was very handsome and declined in this youngest daughter.

Crown Princess laughed covering it with her hands, “no. I put on my own makeup as well as my hair.”

Princess Alhena and Princess Aquila were surprised, “really?” they said together. “we always use makeup services and also responsible for our appearance. Because my sister is a model so we don't change for the person responsible for this job,” Princess Aquila explained a little long.

“iya that's it..” Navier replied in a low tone while tucking the child's hair behind his ear, looking sweet.

“I hope tomorrow at the wedding you don't try to make up yourself.” Princess Alhena confirmed.

Two women stepped into the banquet hall, where Lady Anita and Lady Giselle greeted him. The two daughters of Lady Anita looked enthusiastic, Navier noticed that one of the women was Her Majesty Queen Rose. Navier walked up to Her Majesty the Queen along with the two princesses and saluted.

Her Majesty the Queen nodded as well as the woman beside her, Navier was not very familiar with the entire royal family. Only limited to Her Majesty the King and Queen, her future husband Crown Prince El Nath and also Prince Regulus and his wife, Lady Anita.

This banquet seems to be intended as an event to know each other family members or people who have kinship with the royal family.

Perhaps with this suave event, the Crown Princess candidate will get support by socialite women in the politics of the palace and its social life. Navier didn't think his life would be surrounded by such great things as these, people who had a great influence on the kingdom and the country.

Her Majesty the Queen walked towards the center of attention of the banquet hall, followed by the woman who came with her. This woman was so graceful and beautiful, for some reason at first glance similar to Crown Prince El Nath.

“Thank you for attending the Crown Princess's nominee banquet. The families, brothers, close and distant relatives of Magellan's kingdom. I do not want to linger, introduce my daughter, Princess Polaris,” Her Majesty Queen Rose smiled proudly to introduce her daughter.

The room suddenly crowded with boisterous applause and shock in terms of “finally we can see putri.” I faintly heard Princess Alhena speak, “I think she changed a lot. Finally we met him when he graduated first school right?” Princess Aquila replied, “ah yes. One year older than me.” He said while laughing.

Her Majesty the Queen finished giving a speech along with the introduction of her daughter. Now he mingles with guests who are all women. Polaris goes to Navier and Princess Alhena, and Polaris and Princess Aquila are close enough. Navier sense because of their age distance is quite close, “long did not meet Alhena,” greet Princess Polaris.

Navier was quite surprised to hear Princess Polaris not calling each other the Princess Princess of Alhena, but Navier thought to listen to them chat.

“Iya. yes... How many years I do not remember, but we are interconnected on social media. That's good.” Princess Alhena was excited.

The view of Princess Polaris turned to Navier, while Princess Alhena and Princess Aquila followed the view of Princess Polaris. “Candidate Princess Navier, I don't know much about you. My sister never told me about you unless I started asking. I hope we can work together as a family and also a brother-in-law,” Princess Polaris smiled sweetly, Navier was amazed by Princess Polaris's style of speech. Charisma is like a queen, how she manages the intonation in her speech style like an actress who used to play the figure of a queen or the royal family.

“Of course Mr. Princess,” Navier replied with a polite nod of his head then a friendly smile. “..I and the Crown Prince rarely meet the two in person. But I hope we can be the ideal couple in the future.”

“We hope you guys are happy, isn't that so Polaris?” Princess Aquila replied.

Polaris just smiled, “we three called each other names because since childhood we always played together. Besides, we are a direct family. So I hope this can answer the question in your heart.” Princess Polaris could read Navier's heart. Navier smiled, saying without saying much. The three of them are not women who are easily familiar with prospective new family members presumably.

“Crown Princess, I hope you do not forget to call our name with the prefix “Master Putri” or “Putri” so that the palace etiquette board does not make you involved in problems,” added Princess Alhena.

“El Nath is also a nice guy but I hope you obey everything as Crown Princess. El Nath is not the angry type to explode but be prepared to be silenced for days or months if he is angry or disappointed,” Navier did not expect the hospitality of the two daughters Lady Anita changed when Princess Polaris with them.

After all, he was like being warned indirectly or these three princesses were testing his toughness living in the circumference of the palace.
