ELIZABETH SWAN'S

Chapter 5 - Feast of the Feast of the Feast of the Harvest

A few days later.

"Miss! Miss!" leila exclaimed from the hallway of the Swan residence to Eliza's room.

Despite having seen the sight several times, he was still unable to get used to it. The figure of Eliza who was like a work of art when reading the book calmly and gracefully was dazzling to her eyes.

Not only himself, even all the servants and the Count was shocked by the change in behavior and new habits of Elizabeth Swan since the incident.

Eliza closed her book slowly as she turned towards Leila who had just entered her room, "What's up, Leila?" ask her.

Leila hurriedly thrust out a letter that came along with the flowers, "I-this, there's a letter coming for Miss. Stamp his letter, this is a letter from the Grand Duke!" he said enthusiastically.

Eliza, on the other hand, was not surprised at all, "Oh, it has come" he said as if he knew that the Grand Duke would send him a letter.

Leila could not say anything, for some reason Eliza's aura was now completely different. He immediately gave the letter to Eliza.

Dear Elizabeth Swan.

I don't know what's worth giving to a friend.

All I hear is, you love flowers.

So, I sent you a bouquet of flowers along with this letter.

I hope you like the flowers I picked myself.

Then, at the feast of the harvest, I want to see you again.

By Sebastian Dominique.

"Hmm, the harvest?" eliza murmured after reading the letter.

The feast of the harvest was a day on which all the people of the empire were grateful that the harvest season had been well passed. More than enough agricultural production for everyone. But the celebration was of course divided into two groups. For the upper classes the celebration will be held a feast at the imperial palace. As for the lower middle class the celebration was marked by the emergence of bazars in the capital square, a kind of festival.

"Please get me a paper and a pen." Eliza asked Leila.

Dear, Grand Duke Dominique.

I am honored to receive a letter from you.

Thank you for the flowers you have chosen.

I loved flowers, first. But not anymore.

But I will put some of these flowers in a vase.

And, let's meet at the harvest party next week.

From Elizabeth Swan.

"The tug-of-war is never out of date" Eliza said as she folded the paper and put it in an envelope and gave it a stamp, "Please send it tomorrow night." he gave the letter to Leila.

"Tomorrow at night, Miss?" leila asked, "Why don't you send her right now? It's still morning, surely the letter will be until later tonight." explained Leila.

"It is precisely that, I do not want this letter to arrive quickly." said Eliza who then resumed reading her book.

Leila was completely clueless as to what the owner was thinking, "Didn't Miss originally go after the Grand Duke herself, but why did he actually behave like this when the Grand Duke was already paying attention to him?" leila muttered in her heart.

Feast day of harvest.

So many nobles came from every corner of the Alexandrian empire. Most families are hoping to make their daughters the Crown Prince couple who have just called off their engagement.

Luxurious horse carriages lined up neatly in the front courtyard of the imperial palace. The party was held from noon until midnight. But of course all the members of the empire will be present at night, as will Elizabeth.

"Lady Elizabeth Swan enters the room!" exclaimed the doorman who suddenly pulled each pair of eyes to glance at the girl who had just stepped in.

The Crown Prince curled a grin at the end of his lips, "What's with that dress? Although changing its appearance would be useless, the blood of the commoners that flowed in its body would not turn blue."

Everyone present began gossiping about Elizabeth with a variety of varied sentences. It was as if they had really known Elizabeth from birth.

Elizabeth did not bother about all these things and chose to enjoy a glass of wine circulated by several palace servants.

"Grand Duke Dominique entered the room!"

The atmosphere became more boisterous than before. The man who had never been to this kind of event suddenly appeared to make everyone curious, what had made the cold man interested in coming.

Sebastian glanced all over, looking for the figure that was his reason for attending the imperial event that he had actually avoided the most. But before that he had to greet the imperial family first, because the father had been staring at him sharply.

"Greetings to the sun and the moon of the empire. May the blessings of gods and goddesses always accompany you all." he said while saluting his parents.

Sebastian Dominique was the emperor's second son with the only concubine in his possession. Even so Sebastian has absolutely no intention to ascend the throne even though everyone always praises him and compares him better than the Crown Prince.

"My son, it's good that you finally want to attend this kind of event. Frequently to participate in his future." ask the emperor with a smile that they lipped.

On the contrary, the empress and the crown prince both appear to be disturbed by Sebastian's presence, "Is my sister tired of the books in her library to the point of taking your precious time to come here? Is there something you're interested in here?" ask the Crown Prince.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty" Sebastian said, "But I don't think it's your business to know." he added sarcastically to Crown Prince Ian.

"Based on the arrogant boy, his dares to say that to me!" Ian tightened his jaw, furious.

"It has. Don't embarrass me, Prince! Stop acting like a child." said the emperor immediately making the Crown Prince silent, "Go, enjoy this party, Sebastian." he added.

Prince Caspian or familiarly called Ian by his closest person hated his half-brother. So many factors that cause the relationship between the two brothers is bad.

Initially the Emperor was betrothed to Sebastian's mother, but somehow the Emperor suddenly announced the date of his marriage to the current empress. Even so, the greedy Emperor had no intention of letting go of Sebastian's mother and making her his concubine. And that is the beginning of a bad relationship between the two families.

"Looks like that wine is more interesting than me? Am I the only one waiting for our meeting?" sebastian said to the girl who was sipping wine in an elegant style in front of him.

Eliza put the empty wine glass back into the tray of a waiter who happened to be nearby, "Greet Her Royal Highness the Grand Duke." Elizabeth said, raising a little of her dress with both hands.

Sebastian sighed, "Not enough with the Grand Duke, now His Majesty too?" he said he was not happy because of the attitude of Eliza who treated him with respect.

From a distance Ian shot out his laser beam gaze, he grew even more furious at the sight that really set his heart on fire.

"Based on that haughty kid! How dare he try to tease a girl who is crazy about me openly like this?!"

Ian walked up to the two people who were exchanging words. No doubt it attracts the attention of all those who are there.

"Eliza! Why don't you come over to me?" said Ian who was suddenly present between Elizabeth and Sebastian.

"Greetings to the small sun of the empire. May the blessings of gods and goddesses always be with you, Your Majesty." said Eliza did not want to respond to Ian's remarks just now.

Suddenly Ian was astonished by the behavior of the famous girl always attached to him it changed in an instant, not only his appearance even his carrier was much calmer than before.

"Eliza! Stop pretending!" it was Ian who wanted Eliza to behave like before.

"Sorry, Your Honor. But I don't understand at all what you mean." Eliza explained.

"Follow me!" eliza's wrist was grabbed by Ian, she pulled the girl somewhere.

In an instant the situation became filled with question sentences that were thrown from the mouths of every nobleman.

"You see? I think the Crown Prince is jealous?"

"Jealous of her ex-fiance? Isn't that funny?"

"Right, when the Crown Prince was engaged, he never even thought it existed. Isn't it too late to be jealous?"

"Maybe Prince Caspian will get engaged again there."

"Well, surely that innocent Elizabeth will be right after this."

Sebastian, who heard the talk of the nobles, was disgusted, "Is it so pleasant to take care of other people's lives?" murmured her inwardly, then she chose to leave that place.

"Look, the Grand Duke left immediately after. Is Elizabeth the reason the Grand Duke is here tonight?"

"It's too coincidental for a coincidence."

"Yes!"
