" I want to come ...!!! " I cried innocently
King Damien and Queen Carissa were surprised by my request, and Queen Carissa immediately refused subtly and gave various reasons .
" Can't Clea, you haven't debuted . Clea can't just perform in front of the public, so well okay .., wait at the palace" said Queen Carissa patiently
" Don't the rule just say 'I can't show my face out until I'm done debuting', I won't show my face . I'll wear a veil or a mask then I'll just stand waiting behind the curtain, I won't make any trouble . Mom, I just want to look around "say I tried to persuade her
Then I turned to King Damien and again said "Dad I also want to see the situation outside the palace, so that I can learn . I promise I won't cause trouble "I said seriously
King Damien was silent, he was not sure of my words . So I turned to looking at Queen Carissa with a hearty, like a puppy who wanted to travel but was not invited by the owner .
Queen Carissa who was looked at like that was powerless to refuse anymore, she just sighed resignedly and nodded in agreement .
" Yeay ... "I am delighted to have the approval of Queen Carissa
" Ahem .. "dehem King Damien pacified my pleasure
I turned towards King Damien who was putting on a dignified face but asked to be persuaded as well, so I immediately got up from my chair and walked to the back of the chair where he was sitting .
I stretched out my hand and smiled sweetly while massaging her shoulders gently, then I started to launch my appeal .
" Dad .. Come on, bring your beautiful daughter . I promise I won't make trouble yes .. "I said sweetly beside King Damien's ear.
King Damien closed his eyes enjoying the massage from his beloved daughter, he was unable to refuse the request of his dearest daughter . King Damien believed fully in Clea's intelligence, he would not create problems that harmed him . King Damien only pretended to be serious, so that Clea did not feel that her every wish would always be granted so easily .
The reality is like that ...
King Damien opened his eyes and grabbed a tiny hand on his shoulder . He pulled the hand slowly so that Princess Clea would stand before him, then he looked at her daughter's bright blue eyes .
" Don't run far from the bodyguards, keep your attitude, and stay alert . Many people want to take advantage of the royal family "advice King Damien earnestly
I nodded steadily as I said "Good" firmly
King Damien's expression was very serious, the one who saw it probably thought as if we were going to the border in a way, so I laughed a little . King Damien made a puzzled expression as to why I was suddenly laughing, so I said .
" Our father will only go to the town square for a while, why did he make such a very serious expression . It was as if dad was going to drive me to marry hehehe "I said jokingly while giggling to myself
King Damien who heard it was wrong, glared at me so I wouldn't tease him anymore . Queen Carissa who was sitting at the side also laughed a little at my joke to King Damien, she covered her mouth with her hands while smiling with laughter because now King Damien was glancing at her protest .
' Queen, you also mocked me as well ' King Damien's sirat in his gaze
Queen Carissa just smiled gently as if apologizing for not being able to hold back her laughter, I still giggled funny . King Damien just sighed he could not be angry, he looked down embarrassedly covering his eyes with the back of a hand .
" It's ... already, let's go back to eating" said King Damien switching the conversation
I sat back in my seat and continued the delayed meal, now thanks to the ignorant Clea, the atmosphere at the dinner table was back to life as usual . King Damien looked sluggish from exhaustion as before, while Queen Carissa showed her gentle smile without the anxiety she had before .
All thanks to Princess Clea who is like a precious jewel to King Damien and Queen Carissa ...
......................
The next morning ...
" Daughter wakes up .. " cried Deenna
I groaned distractedly then covered my face back with a blanket, Deenna hurried to open the bed curtain and pulled the blanket that covered me .
" Daughter .. get up, you should get ready to go to the town square immediately" Deenna said quickly
He walked again to the window curtain and opened it wide, I stretched my body and sat up . I rubbed my sleepy eyes to wake up a little, the sky outside the window was still dark . I complained to Deenna
" It's still so early, why are you waking me up now ?? we'll leave in the afternoon and it's still a long time ." I lamented.
Deenna ignored me she was still making my bed and blankets, before long my bedroom door opened . Chacha and Blance were carrying my toiletries and beautiful flower petals . I was still half conscious when then Alice came to take me to the tea room to have tea while waiting for my bath to be ready .
I really don't get dizzy, why is everyone busy so early in the morning . I covered my mouth that yawned still sleepy, usually at this time I was still in my soft and comfortable bed and hugged by a thick blanket that should and warm and then sleep soundly until the sky was clear .
But now I was drinking tea with my eyes almost closed, even a few times I almost misdirected the tea cup to my nose instead of to my mouth .
" Alice, why are you guys getting ready so early in the morning ?? the show is still in the daytime "quite curious
" Daughter, this is your first time out of the palace . So everyone thinks of course you have to look amazing, because it all must be prepared as early as possible so that perfect later "clear
Ah .. so apparently . They thought it was my first time out of the palace, so everyone was very enthusiastic . But, I'm sorry to disappoint you guys but this isn't the first time I'm out of the palace ...
Even I've forgotten this to how many times, because too often .
Huh....
I sighed and said tiredly like a wise old man "You guys are too excited "
Though he himself acted like a child when he first slipped out of the palace .
Shortly thereafter Blance guided me to the bath in the bathroom . My bathtub which is usually already fragrant, now many times the fragrance in comparison to the usual day .
I frowned at my brows and sat in 'if I take a bath here once, maybe the scent will stick to me for a week '
" Daughter, I've prepared the best fragrance oil there is . What about Princess ?? " ask Blance enthusiastically
" Yes, very nice . Maybe the smell will be smelled up to 100 meters from where I stand later hehehe "I said with a little joke
But who knows, Blance and Chacha were so proud to hear my words . They actually explain in detail what fragrances are used .
" Of course Princess, we used the best fragrance in the palace . The delicate aroma of vanilla, white orchid flower extract that only blooms at night, cinnamon extract and sprinkling of your favorite rose petals "clearly Blance with sparkling eyes
The corner of my mouth twitched a little to hear it, ' do they have to explain the details of my inner being
" It's great "my voice
I also soaked and cleaned myself aided by Blance and Chacha, they also shaved neatly the fine hairs on my legs and hands . Not forgetting the scent of giving hazelnut oil to my long black hair, I closed my eyes to relax enjoying the service from them .
After cleaning myself very, very cleanly from head to toe, I walked towards my dressing room . There was Deenna and Alice waiting for me .
" Daughter, I've chosen some formal dresses to wear . Please Princess see which one fits " said Deenna
Behind Alice are 3 very magnificent and luxurious dresses held by each palace maid . ' It looks like Deenna is completely rummaging through the wardrobe to find a dress that I've never even seen this 'inner me
I noticed the three dresses, the first one was bright yellow with a cute ballerina collar, the dress was adorned with gold thread embroidery sparkling in the light . The second one is pink with tiered lacy sleeves extending to the elbows, the dress is inlaid with a red diamond beautifully arranged on the lower side of the dress . And the third was pure white with her arms expanding low from shoulder to wrist, adorned with a sprinkling of crystals and pearls dangling at the waist .
The three dresses were so beautiful, I was confused to choose them . I can't wear the white one because it looks simple while it's a formal event and see all the people of the capital . As for the yellow color is very beautiful and charming, too bad his shoulders are too open . It will feel disturbing because many people who see later, it is very inappropriate to wear it also at outdoor events like this .
So I decided to wear the ...
" The pink one" I said
Deenna and Alice and the servants helped me to wear the dress of my choice, after dressing up neatly . I sat like a statue in front of the dresser and everyone was clustered dressing me up .
They used pearl powder as powder, neatly combed the black eyebrows that had been perfectly formed since childhood, and then decorated my eyelids with dye from pureed flowers, dye my cheeks a little and polish my lips with a brush and gel bit to make them red .
There are also those who comb my black hair, and then curl the edges to be beautiful, there are also those who paint my nails with the dye they have prepared .
There are also those who wear jewelry, rings on my fingers, necklaces on the neck, bracelets on the hands and earrings on the ears .
After a while I became a bust in the crowd, Deenna finally exclaimed "Done" while clapping happily .
I felt my neck stiff from not moving earlier, so I directly massaged my nape while opening my eyes to see the results . Plastered in the big glass in front of me a beautiful girl like a doll, a teenager who was sitting while holding the nape of her neck .
The beautiful girl was looking at the mirror in front of her indifferently, then for a moment the girl was surprised and then stood up suddenly . He leaned his body towards the mirror and held his cheek in disbelief at what he was thinking .
Then he turned back to face the servants who were still smiling proudly while looking at Princess Clea who was very very very very very beautiful .
" It's me ..!!! " i cried out while pointing to the mirror in disbelief
" Of course the Princess, it's you" Deenna replied with vigor
I really didn't expect that Clea, this little girl could be this pretty if she dressed up in earnest . It was a pity for a face as beautiful as this but was thrown into a secluded place by her own lover .
" Daughter, so beautiful as a fairy" said Alice moved
" Correct ... "
" His Highness Princess Clea is very beautiful "
" Yes, very pretty "
" The most beautiful in the entire Benedictine Empire "
" No, the most beautiful in the world .. "
Sahut the servants one by one with a fuss . They exclaimed, praised, then giggled happily together .
" Already ... no more praise . Thank you for your work, I am very satisfied with the result "I said briefly with a sincere smile
" It is an honor for us to serve the Princess "they replied in unison
I smiled gently in response . Then Deenna continued her commanding duties .
" Well done here, now you're back to your respective tasks . Alice prepares breakfast for the Princess, we'll get off "order Deenna immediately
" Good "say them in unison
After everyone left now I and Deenna were left alone in that room . I also started asking freely
" Deenna, does my request for that already exist ?? " many
" It's the Princess " replied Deenna politely
Then she went to the drawer around my dresser after finding the one in her car, she came back holding a white box inlaid with a beautiful gold paint pattern . The box was not very large, only the size of an adult's palm .
Deenna held out the box towards me politely, I grabbed it and opened the box . It was a mask I asked Deenna to prepare, because I still could not show my face in public . I decided to wear a party mask that covered half my face, wearing this mask others would only see the bottom of my face .
This mask is made of white silver which is very thin forging, very fit and comfortable in my face . Do not forget the beautiful design carved from this thin silver thread . The shape resembles a butterfly spreading its silver wings, graceful and beautiful . He wore a small crown that was pinned right in the middle of my forehead .
I smiled satisfied with this mask in my hand, then I put it on my face while looking at the mirror in front . Deenna came behind me and helped tie the white ribbon that held the mask on my face .
