Changing destiny ' White Rose '
CHAPTER 45
Clea's beautiful face that looks innocent now looks alluring and enchanting, the silver mask adds a mysterious impression on her .
' Wow ... Damn it !! how can this closed face also look beautiful . Ah ... I envy ... !!! ' my inner
Deenna came forward and grabbed a valerin hat on the dresser, he put a pretty lacy hat inlaid by roses and jewels and pearls on his right side adding a beautiful, fresh, fresh impression, elegant and luxurious . He wore the hat on his head carefully, the beads of pearls dangled on the right side and would sound smooth when my head moved slightly .
" Perfect, now people will not be able to see my face "I said while nodding and smiling satisfied at the reflection of the reflection in the mirror
" You are right, Princess " replied Deenna agreed
When I finished, I went downstairs with Deenna to enjoy breakfast at the dinner table . After finishing it I went to the front of the main palace just by bringing my four personal servants, because King Damien will later prepare a personal bodyguard for me .
I walked down the path connecting my palace with the main palace, from here it is clear that the atmosphere on the main road leads to the gate of the imperial palace which looks to be crowded with trains belonging to the main noble family who play a role in managing this event or just attend .
I walked steadily into the palace through the side hallway that only the main palace dwellers knew and used by the special servants who lived in the main palace .
When he arrived at the main hall, the atmosphere was very crowded with the head of the family or representatives of every noble who came . Especially the 10 main nobles who had a standing in the morning meeting, they all noticed my arrival by wondering 'who did this girl ' .
It was because few people had ever seen me in person, other than the inhabitants of the imperial court, only my teacher Lord Louis, Lady Marie Antoinette, had ever seen me, and Albert alone knows my true likeness .
When with Curtis not counted yes .., because I was in the position of Cleo a noble girl only when with Curtis .
So when my foot stepped into the hall, I immediately grabbed all the focus and attention from the nobles who were there . Especially when I walk past the soldiers, then they will salute politely, making them even more astonished .
I walked towards the throne on the high platform where King Damien and Queen Carissa were sitting dashingly and gracefully, I casually passed everyone without thinking of the look that led me .
King Damien and Queen Carissa were smiling softly at the beautiful masked girl who walked up to them . Clea came under the throne platform where King Damien and Queen Carissa were watching her .
Clea raised her head and looked at her parents, her sweet smile cracking up . King Damien and Queen Carissa also smiled at her little girl, the main nobles except Gilbert Albelart and Marie Antoinette were still confused by the identity of the girl who seemed to be close to His Majesty the King and Empress . They had never seen His Majesty the cold, cruel, and resolute King be able to smile so gently at anyone other than Her Majesty the Queen .
Under everyone's gaze, he suddenly lowered his head, bowing slightly in greeting to King Damien and Queen Carissa . The personal servants who followed him bowed low behind Princess Clea .
" Daughter of Clea Cassiopeia Beatrice salutes the glory of Her Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen" I said
His voice was loud but not loud, firm, steady, and clear like a melodious bell to hear . He made everyone dumbfounded because of his words .
When everyone was still shocked and yet to respond, Clea rose to her feet without any orders and complained . King Damien got up from his seat and stretched out his hands a little sign of wanting a hug from his little daughter .
Clea gave a carefree smile and ran small up the platform stairs made of milky white marble stone, covered with a luxurious and quality red velvet carpet .
" Dad "little cry Clea muffled as she entered the arms of King Damien
But the nobles who had been very curious had of course heard the screams as slow as the ants . King Damien chuckled slightly as he stroked the back of his little princess .
Queen Carissa who saw her father and daughter embraced shamelessly before the curious gazes of all the nobles, became ashamed of herself . He also cleared his throat slightly to remind the two children's fathers who seemed like they had not met for a year, to be a little polite .
" Ahem, Princess Clea came here" said Queen Carissa softly
I immediately let go of King Damien's embrace and passed beside Queen Carissa, I stood quietly to the right rather back of the empress' seat according to my current status . A Princess of the Kingdom .
King Damien who was suddenly left behind immediately felt awkward, he then cleared his throat a little and faced the eyes of the nobleman who was still waiting .
" As you heard earlier, this is my daughter . The only daughter belonging to the Benedicte Empire ... Clea Cassiopeia Beatrice .. "the word of King Damien echoed throughout the corner of the hall.
Contact all the nobles present, led by Gilbert Albelart and 9 core nobles . As well as the soldiers, the Captains of the soldiers as well as the servants present, simultaneously bowed together to greet Princess Clea .
" Greetings to the glory of Her Highness Princess Clea Cassiopeia Beatrice" said everyone thundering filled the hall
The corner of my eyes twitched very loudly watching this welcoming ceremony, I made full effort to maintain my polite smile . Only God knows if my legs are currently trembling in fear, 'Huh .. Damn it feels like my heart doesn't want to slow down a little for me to calm down, if it keeps going on like this I'm really worried I can't change the original story and still end up dying young. ' I thought I was upset.
" Wake up .." I said in a bright and clear voice
Everyone stood up, and one by one they looked openly at me, some glancing fearfully or curiously, there were also those who were looking for an opportunity to start approaching myself to reach for the olive branch .
" Ahem .." dehem King Damien
He was interrupting those cunning nobles who were staring at his little daughter with greedy gazes and wanted to seek personal gain . The nobles who were given warning signals immediately turned their eyes away from Princess Clea .
" Daughter Clea is growing up, only 1 year away she will debut in the community . I would like to introduce her at first glance to the social life outside the palace of the Benedicte Kingdom, therefore Princess Clea will be present in today's activities " the word King Damien explains with every word that there is no gap for rebuttal or repulsion
The nobles who heard that immediately became rowdy, they talked to each other to the point of causing the hall to be full of annoying hums . King Damien who saw that immediately furrowed his brows tightly, anger emanating clearly in the look on his face .
And when he was about to open his mouth to punish the little flies who did not know the rule, a small hand grabbed his arm interrupting . King Damien turned his head to see his beloved Princess looking at him with a sweet smile, then he opened his mouth speaking without a sound .
' dad, leave it to me ' Clea said silently
King Damien let out a sigh of surrender, he shifted a little bit to the edge . Then Princess Clea walked forward gracefully, then a loud clear voice interrupted all the nobles not knowing the rules below .
" Honorary gentlemen and ladies, as a child I was often sick and most of my time was spent lying in bed . At the moment my health has improved, and I really want to see the atmosphere outside the palace . Please Mr and Madam who are here to be wise as adults and understand my childish desires "I said with an innocent expression
The nobles fell silent for a moment, they could not reply at all to my words because every word I used there was no gap in the rebuttal nor reason to reject it . Yes ... because they are adults who should be wise, there is no need to be too calculating in small children .. as is clearly implied in the last sentence of Princess Clea
A few intelligent noble family heads began to think and look back at Princess Clea above, This little princess is not as simple as her appearance .
It had been common knowledge to all the people in the Benedicte Empire that the only Princess belonging to His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Queen was very beautiful, clever, clever, and especially spoiled by his parents since childhood . Therefore some nobles had thought to seek the benefits of Princess Clea, but who would have thought that if the Princess who was just spoiled it does not mean she will grow up to be a fool ...
Now all the intelligent conscious people began to brainwash again about how to approach the clever Princess Clea .
......................
Gratak ....
The royal family's luxury horse-drawn carriage walked slowly leading the parade of noble carriages in the back . I sat on the other side bench, I was facing the glass window that displayed the cheers of the people of the capital who were crowding the side of the street leading to the center of the capital .
I watched enthusiastically at the crowd of people who were jostling want ahead, men shouting boisterously, women either young or old they were waving their handkerchiefs, she said, while the little ones will run around on the side of the road following the train along the way .
The palace soldiers were busy keeping watch on the side of the road to prevent an incident, Captain Felix and Captain Dan were on the right and left side of the horse carriage we were using .
Queen Carissa covered her lips with a folding fan underneath, she was laughing at the adorable behavior of her beloved daughter . King Damien also occasionally glanced at Clea who was staring out through the window, with eyes that sparkled brightly .
Desperate in King Damien's heart a regret that cannot be said, he himself very much wants his beloved daughter can also get out of the palace and do whatever she wants like other noble children . However, the status of the Royal Princess he had since birth could not be King Damien ignored .
After a while we reached the center of the capital, in front of a multi-storey building similar to a police station if in my world it is used for ordinary people to make reports of crimes or punish petty crimes .
Our carriage stopped, Felix and Captain Dan jumped down from their horses then stood upright on each side of the right and left of the carriage door in a respectful manner .
Felix opened the door, then looked down deeply followed by all the soldiers, nobles, servants and also commoners who had been standing in the distance watching curiously . They kowtowed in unison saluting the imperial family .
" Our respect for the glory of His Majesty King Damien Cassiopeia, Her Majesty Queen Carissa Beatrice and Her Royal Highness Princess Clea Cassiopeia Beatrice" Felix exclaimed loudly
All the people then rumbled, they enthusiastically whispered to each other when the name of Princess Clea was mentioned as well . They really did not expect that Her Highness the Princess would also participate in this event, it was because the age of the Princess is still young and not yet the time to debut in the community .
However, all the people were very positive and enthusiastic when they knew they could see Her Royal Highness the real Princess . It is said that the only Princess belonging to the Benedicte Empire is very beautiful, graceful, meek like Her Majesty the Queen . But there was also news among the noble children that Princess Clea was also a smart, capable and smart girl, like His Majesty the King .
As rumors have circulated for some time, it was reported that 'His Majesty the King is preparing Princess Clea to become the Crown Princess and also her successor ' . Some responded positively to the rumor like, 'it should have been the heir of the real royal blood who should have sat on the throne ' . There were also those who responded negatively, they spread another rumor saying that 'Her Majesty the King is too biased and spoils Princess Clea excessively', there are also those who say ' if one were to occupy the throne of a woman, then the Benedicte empire would be chaotic ' ....
But rumors remain rumors, only spoken of when it is hot . As time passed, there was already no longer any question as to whether Princess Clea would be the successor or not .
In addition, now the news about the war on the border really shook all the people, within a day there were many confusing misleading news that began to appear . Therefore, King Damien immediately held an announcement event officially today .
...***...
The carriage door opened, everyone lowered their heads in respect . A handsome and authoritative middle-aged man came out from inside the palace-owned car .
