Selena invited her guests to choose their own books, while she asked one of her servants to prepare dinner. The sun was almost drowned. Because tomorrow is a holiday, the princess also invited her friends to stay overnight.
“That's good,” Amelia support. Previously, he had stayed at this palace several times, but did not interact much with Selena “I want to stay here. You guys too, right, Ely, Vio?”
“If Lia wants to be here, I also want to,” replied Eliana agreed. The answer was followed by a slow nod by Viola.
“How about Miss Hilton and Miss Orchid?” ask Selena later. The two girls agreed. Although Lilianne seemed a little hesitant, she followed Rosica's decision.
The afternoon passed in the library. The princesses were engrossed in discussing continental history until a White Jasmine Palace maid told her that dinner was ready. They were directed to a large dining room.
There are beautiful lanterns along the hallway to the center of the palace. The lanterns were lit by the servants ahead of the sun sinking, which was when the clouds began to reddish up there and the day began to dim.
Dinner went by quickly too. The ladies enjoyed the dinner. That was because the dinner in this palace was better than all the food in the academy.
“This is a great day,” Selena said as soon as she finished her dinner, “Thank you for coming with me. You guys can get some rest after this.”
The sky began to darken. The afternoon spray had run out perfectly at the end of the horizon. The ladies immediately went into each room, while Selena who was not yet sleepy was still engrossed in reading one of the memory sheets she had written first.
Ten years have passed since the tragedy. Selena's time is three years away, while she can't possibly change the plot with her current condition. Gathering characters from other plots is the best way. Unfortunately, the information about Rubia vi Emerald is still vague.
As he investigated the first princess of the Emerald Kingdom, he only discovered that the princess had already left his kingdom three months ago. His attention was drawn to a new green-eyed noble girl, Rosica Hilton who had just appeared that month. Those green eyes were a clue to Selena. He invited her to the palace to make sure that she was Rubia vi Emerlad.
"I still doubt. Information about him is too little. I don't want to harm anyone else who isn't concerned with the plot" Selena muttered alone. He doesn't need light to read his notes. Enough with his fingers that have memorized every form of printed letter embossed on his thick paper. Even so, he was accompanied by a teapot lamp lit by Margaretha.
“Mr Princess, Crown Prince la Diamond came to visit to meet you,” reports Margaretha as soon as Selena finishes her first sheet. The hand of the clear-eyed princess stopped touching the book on her lap. He looked forward as if he could see the Grand Duchess Lambordy there.
“Kakak visited? These nights?” ask Selena in wonder. During this time, he rarely received guests, even from his own family. Therefore, he was very happy when the ladies wanted to visit.
“True, Princess,” replied Margaretha briefly. He was waiting for Selena's answer. As long as Selena does not allow her visit, Grand Duchess Lambordy will not hesitate to expel the crown prince, even if she is King la Diamond.
“Please lead me to the living room, Madam,” Selena said as she closed her notebook. He offered a hand which was then welcomed by Margaretha.
“Finally you came out,” the firm voice of a young man sounded in Selena's ear as soon as she reached the living room. The princess recognized the voice. It was indeed the voice of the crown prince as well as Selena's elder sister, Alexander la Diamond. She is three years older than the princess.
“Welcome, Your Majesty,” said Selena greeted her sister politely. His face that was illuminated by the dim light of the lanterns rang a friendly smile as usual. “Any wind is this until my beloved brother comes to visit these nights?”
“Dear brother, huh?” Alexander grinned thinly. Living in the middle of a large royal family makes him grow as paranoid. He couldn't trust anyone just like that, not even his younger brother. When Selena was still healthy, she put the princess into the list of rivals. Even so, he can still put on a thick face mask so that supporters consider him a friendly and sociable prince.
If Selena's eyes weren't blind, Alexander would have taken those words as mere sweet booze. He was recently appointed crown prince. His position is still very weak in the kingdom. The King la Diamond can replace it at any time.
“So, how come you guys come here?” Selena repeated her first question.
“I'm just saturated,” replied Alexander reasoned. He expressed his intention because the Grand Duchess Lambordy was still there to accompany Selena. To her, the venerable old lady was more dangerous than Selena herself.
“What's just that?” Selena is hard to believe, but she doesn't mind it at all, “Sadly then. The ladies are staying at my palace, so I can't give room to Kakanda.”
“Hah? What does that have to do with it?” Alexander frowned, astonished by the words of his sister.
“This is Princess Diamond Palace I, Your Majesty,” Selena replied firmly, “Actually, it is unethical of you to come here just like that, especially when I was receiving guests from Gem Academy.”
“Ck! I know, I know,” Alexander said as he waved his hand, “I won't be staying tonight. I just wanted to ask you a few things.”
The crown prince came here is not without cause. This afternoon, he got a report that Princess Saphira and Lady Ruby visited White Melati Palace. Alexander needs great strength and support to support him. According to him, there was nothing more appropriate than the two girls. If the two girls are good friends with Selena, then she will have an easier time getting it.
“Princess Saphira and Lady Ruby, huh? Ah, I understand what I mean by you,” Selena immediately understood the meaning of her brother's question. Even though she was blind, she did not necessarily ignore the latest news just like that, including about Amelia's grand debut and the arrival of Evanna who had a splash. She is a sensitive girl who is able to read the situation with her inner instincts, especially with the stock of plot knowledge and information union she has.
“They are both equally good in my opinion,” Selena continued with a beautiful fluffy smile on her face, “Lady Ruby is the best girl in Diamond Kingdom. He has ideal status, wealth and personality. The connection is also very extensive. The girl was also famous for her high social spirit. I'm sure she can become a great queen or noble lady in the future. If Kakanda chooses it, Kakanda will benefit from the Central Nobles Faction that is in the capital.”
“How about Princess Saphira?” ask Alexander then.
“I don't know yet how the nature. In my opinion, she is an authoritative, meticulous, and talkative princess as necessary,” Selena remembered her discussion this afternoon. Although he had just met for the first time, he could already memorize the voices of his guests, including Evanna who was sparing to talk.
“From a political point of view, you will benefit greatly from her who is the best princess in the Sapphire Kingdom,” Selena close her clothes and stroke the cold cheeks, “You will need it if you want to get great power from outside.”
“I understand,” Alexander mangosteen slowly while closing his eyes. Actually, he was quite curious about the way Selena got all that information. During this time, Princess Diamond I was humbled as a foolish and useless girl because her eyes were blind.
“Is there any other party you can recommend?” ask Alexander. I don't expect a complex answer this time.
“There,” Selena answer made Alexander frown, “Unfortunately, she is not a simple and unpredictable girl. I have not been able to provide accurate information regarding him, but he will certainly not be better than Lady Ruby or Princess Saphira.”
“Who is he?” Alexander was interested.
“I remind you once again, I have not been able to provide accurate information related to her,” Selena said seriously, “She is Rubia vi Emerald, the first princess of the Emerald Kingdom.”
