Elena; Queen of Ardorarias

Part 16; Dinner Banquet

The dinner was quite calm and went well. Even when the dinner was about to start there was a small commotion. The small commotion came from the actions of Elena's two cousins which made the King have to intervene directly. Lucky when the Greekaloca Royal family arrived at the dinner banquet, the commotion had died down and could soon be resolved.

“Thank you for your dinner invitation, Your Majesty King Ardorarias. We and our family are honored to receive dinner invitations from you directly.”

“And of course thank you again because you would like to receive a dinner invitation from me, King Greekaloca.”

Shortly after Jeremy—King Ardorarias V— returned the post of King Greekaloca VI, Elena and also the Queen who stood right beside Elena saluted the Greekaloca family before them. And because of the existence of Elena who had only met them for the first time, the eyes of the King, Queen and also the Prince of Greekaloca could not be separated to look at Elena, making Elena must be more maintain attitude and minimize mistakes as the Queen said before.

Small talk and small talk during dinner also flowed. Elena who had initially thought too far about the dinner even felt a little calmer. There was nothing involving Elena or the Prince of Greekaloca, but Elena remained wary of any chatter and questions that might force her to answer.

“Princess Elena?”

Hearing the Queen from Greekaloca call her name, Elena immediately looked towards the Queen. He smiled kindly as usual before answering a call from the Queen, “Ya, Her Majesty the Queen?”

“Can I ask something?”

Elena longed to complain about Queen Greekaloca's question before her. If you have questions, you can ask them without asking for permission. Elena felt a little depressed and nervous because of the question of what would the Queen of Greekaloca ask.

“I heard you really like music. Jazz, pop or rock. Is there a special reason you can love music so much?”

The question from the Queen made Elena slightly shunned. Elena knew the Queen of Greekaloca wanted to know something behind her question. The question had made Elena think that the family from the Greekaloca Kingdom was too curious and a little meddling in Elena's personal matters. And that made Elena feel a little upset.

“Mother and child alike.” Elena murmured in heart.

“When sitting in high school, the school where Elena studied not only focused on academics, but focused on other fields such as arts and sports. Since Elena was Ardorarias' future successor, she was obliged to know all areas of science. Therefore he really likes music.” replied Queen Ardorarias while stroking Elena's hair, “That's right, Elena?”

Elena smiled and replied, “Ya.” and made the Queen of Greekaloca nod as if to understand that is the reason Elena likes music.

“And there is actually one more thing that makes me really like music,” muttered Elena suddenly made her mother directly stare towards Elena in panic.

“If you may know, what is Elena?” asked the Queen of Greekaloca with a smile as if it contained its own meaning.

“So Elena said someone suggested listening to music. Who is that guy? Does that person mean so much to Elena that Elena can really like music?” the Queen again asked Elena a question of another meaning.

“Ya, very mean.”

Elena's reply managed to make the five pairs of eyes in the room stare at her. His mother even gave a sharp look towards Elena. A sharp look that has its own meaning. And a sharp gaze as if warning not to make mistakes, even the slightest mistake that night.

“She is someone who has been taking care of me all this time,” Elena smiled sincerely with a viewpoint to the glass glass in front of her, “Besides caring, he also gave the science of life which makes the heart serene."

The Queen of Ardorarias looked relieved while the Queen of Greekaloca nodded in understanding. They also enjoyed the dishes that had been well prepared by the best chefs in the palace.

"Your Excellency Ardorarias, I still can't believe you managed to hide this serapi successor candidate. Do you have any hidden purpose to hide this, including from me as your close friend?" said the King of Greekaloca who managed to make King Ardorarias stop his activity eating dessert.

"Oh, of course there is none. I just want Elena to be closer to the lives of ordinary people, because if she grew up in the palace she would not know how the lives of the lower middle class people. All this for the good of himself as well." explained King Ardorarias calmly replied.

"Then there's no problem with our promise when we were princes, right?"

The question from the King of Greekaloca made Elena think hard. A promise? What promise does King Greekaloca mean? Whether this has anything to do with Elena or not. But Elena realized that it had something to do with her. Because that's what made this dinner party.

"Sorry to be in the conversation, I think it's too soon if we have to discuss the promise of the past. Prince Steven had also only met Elena for the first time, it was better to let them be friends and be close to each other."

Is correct. What Elena thought was true. The promise made between his father and the King of Greekaloca did involve him. And Prince Steven was also involved, meaning nothing else and no matchmaking issues. As Elena had thought, the dinner banquet must be about relationships, whether the relationship between two countries, two families or two people.

Elena should have expected this too. His life was arranged in such a way by his father. His personality was formed by his father. And of course the problem of a life partner is certainly the father also intervened. That was why her father was so angry when he found out Elena was in a relationship with a celebrity.

"Daughter Elena, since we've only met you for the first time, our family invited you to come to Greekaloca later."
