Honor Invitation

Time has gone a long way with my career. It has evolved a lot since the last time we did various research and inspections. As of today, it has been four years since the company started. A big day, of course. Arriving at the office, I thought I was going to have an annual tradition. A day without the need to worry about work.

But there was something different than usual. I don't see some division heads here. It was just me and Pappous, he was so excited about the bottle he was holding. There's no way they're absent today, is there? Moreover, this event can be used to familiarize yourself with the members of the division.

Sure enough, Jack came to me. He asked me and Pappous to meet Knox in his room.

“Good, I'll be there soon. Thank you.”

I approached Pappous who looked half-conscious. His behavior is uncontrollable and delirious. I don't know who he's talking to. I also took him away.

“Pak Pappous, we are called to headroom.” He only replied with words that I did not understand at all. I've made it happen many times but there's no result. In the end I asked some people to embrace him towards the room.

“This is why I don't want to drink,” my murmur.

Entering the room, we see the division heads I didn't get to meet earlier, with Harry and Knox. I sat on an empty chair, and so did Pappous. Everyone can only look at it. While Pappous was still raving to himself. Knox started the meeting.

“Alright, good morning. Hopefully everything is in a state of seh—” his speech was cut off by Pappous concoction.

“Bwah.. Akyu mewnwngu.

Our attention was turned to him.

“To exactly four years of this company I want to congratulate you all. There is very good news today in—”

“Bwah bwah.

We become irritated by Pappous's behavior. Knox asked some people to take him back out. He patted the jidat.

“Luckily the victim today is just one. I also forgot to remind you not to drink…

So today we have a direct invitation of honor from the kingdom. A pride can participate in the development of this country.”

Those of us who heard him were surprised by his words.

“We'll be leaving in an hour. I command you not to fall victim to a party like Pappous, take care of yourself.”

“Means she's not coming?” ask Harry.

“We'll see the progress. If it's still like that later it's better not to come,” replied his father, Knox.

After exiting Knox's room, I looked back at the party in the living room. It looks like Pappous is still raving with some people. I just ate fruit and drank soda alone. Often I was invited by members of my division to come with them, I accepted it. Just just greeting each other and talking loose. Many of them are older than me. They also often give out babbles.

“Eh, lately many have asthma, yes?”

“What's the reason?”

“Originally filling absent.”

“Hahahaha!” tell them all. I just smiled hearing it. Then Lydia appeared to challenge me.

“Little child does not understand the jokes of parents,” he said. My face changed immediately by him. Then back to laughing a little so that the atmosphere is not runyam.

“Haha... I'm going for a minute,”.

“Good, Sir.”

I immediately pulled Lydia into a deserted place. I really feel annoyed at him. While he still giggled with laughter. I tighten my hands.

“Aduh, sick. What are you doing?” ask Lydia. I took it off too.

“Always like that, you hate me?” continued growling.

“No, quite the opposite. You are very funny when you behave like that.” he replied with a cry. My anger is mounting.

“Don't look for excuses! I'm warning you now.” I went to leave him. “Still morning has ruined the atmosphere,” my mind.

Get in my room, no one but myself. Sit in a chair, holding your head up on a table. I became dizzy. Maybe have a cup of green tea. Jack is still at the party. I opened the door and saw an office waiter.

“What do you need, Sir?”

“I want warm green tea, can you take it inside?”

“Good, Sir.”

Upon arrival there, we were directed straight towards the throne. I was still amazed by the palace that stood majestic and looked elegant. The red carpet guides our steps. Each hallway is tall and wide. We stopped in front of a huge door.

Open slowly showing a very spacious room with a throne at the end of the room. The sword troops lined up on our right and left. Although it looks “kutangkas”, in fact it is just a culture that cannot be eliminated. With the current sophistication, the room was always supervised and weapons in every corner.

We bow before the King.

“Stand.” We followed his words.

“Thank you for attending my invitation. In appreciation of all contributions, I invite you to dinner together.”

“An honor and pride for us to have an invitation from His Majesty. Allow me to introduce the great people next to me,” Knox said. But the King departed from his throne.

“Good steps we talk about while eating lunch.”

Inside the dining room, once again dazzled with the entire interior inside. A super long table and a chair there. One very different chair at the end, the King's seat. We just need to sit down, then the waiter does everything. Never really imagined by me. As in the stories, fairy tales, and dreams of the people.

With the appetizer, Knox continued.

“Head of Sky and Space Technology Research Division, Malka Syahnivir.

Chief of the Arms Development and Security Division, Lydia Aralle.

Head of Integrated Transport Development Division, Ryne Charityse.

Head of Urban Planning Division, Catherine Fournier.

Head of Science and Engineering Division, Pappous Geros.”

How surprised we were to see Pappous who was also there without us noticing. Everyone was silent at Pappous's behavior. Knox apologized to the King.

“No problem, all the agenda here is indeed to relax and have fun.”

Then Knox continued on again to introduce all the representatives present.

“Vice President, Harry Knox.”

The agenda continued by introducing each other further and chatting casually. All questions are directed at us. Background, intelligence, discovery, and future plans. Like an interview when you get into a company. Not infrequently also the atmosphere colored by laughter in the middle of the conversation.

After lunch, we were released to tour the palace. With an escort of course. There are some places we cannot visit. It's really nice to feel. Walk in every corner of the palace and see the majesty in it. Until one day I met the Princess, just like in the fairy tales.

Looks graceful and pretty. I was silent for a thousand words. I can't describe it. The goddess who came down to the planet.

“Happy day.”

“S—S—Siang..” reply me nervous. He just tickled slowly, making it more beautiful to look at.

“What's your name?”

“M—Malka, Malka Syahnivir.

“Vasilissa Frinkivissa. Greetings know.” Then we shook hands with each other. I tried to calm down, but my head was already churning.

“Cannot be! I shake hands with the Princess!” my mind. Pleasure seems to force me to turn over.

Unexpectedly, he invited me to go around with him. Of course I'm glad to accept.

He introduced every corner of the palace. Her soft voice made me fail to focus and fall asleep to her. He also introduced himself further. He was an only child, and only one year younger than me. Every now and then I listen to her outpouring of heart becoming a royal princess. I feel sorry for him too. There are a lot of other sides that I just found out about now.

At his age now, of course the taste and heart are turbulent in no direction. Awe and love sometimes make no difference. I totally agree with that. I experienced it too. Although I consider it trivial in order to become more mature. I don't know, I don't really understand that either.

“Enak once became you who are free with choice, while I, everything has been written.” I do not know what to respond to him. But something made me curious.

“What a princess cannot marry an ordinary person?”

“It has become a tradition of marrying nobles, as a means of political exchange and power. It should have been as far as I could have been, but it would definitely be looked upon badly by the family and the nobles.”

“It's complicated apparently.. But in my opinion, as long as there's still a chance, you can still be sure of it.” His face improved after listening to me.

“Will I fight for my own sheet..”
