Chapter 015: Invite Princess Diamond I (Mirah)
"It's a pity" I said regretfully, "When I wanted to get to know Miss Hilton even closer."
"That's not a problem, Lia," Princess Diamond I replied, "You're a generation. It must not be difficult to meet him again."
"Right, anyway," I nodded slowly, "But we're not classmates."
"You'll just give her an invitation, Lady," Princess Saphira chimed in, "I'm sure the girl doesn't seem to be going to turn down your invitation."
"Hm, I'll invite her next time," I said in agreement, "Because the Princess is interested in her, she must be a great girl."
Princess Diamond I just smiled sweetly at my words. Even though people say that she is just a weakly deformed daughter, I know that she is not that simple. Aunt Margaretha once told me that the princess was very clever, even speaking a foreign language.
Princess Diamond I invited us to visit the Moon Palace after breakfast. He wants to bring us together with Queen la Diamond. It's a great honor for us.
"Friends," call Princess Diamond I on her way to the Moon Palace. We all sat in one big train. The horse carriage had a magnificent interior again beautiful. Only the royal family and upper class nobles could afford it.
"I would like to hear your opinion on the recent condition of the continent" Princess Diamond I said after a brief pleasantry. The smile on her face never faded in the slightest, inversely proportional to Lady Muthia who was always flat.
“After the truce with the Kingdom of Marjan in the summer of last year,” Princess Saphira who first expressed her opinion, “Conditions of economy, trade, and society began to improve. However, that peace even had a bad impact on the political conditions of the continent.”
“Why is that?” many wonder.
“Five years ago, we were still cooperating in an alliance command to fight against the hegemony of the Kingdom of Marjan,” explained Princess Saphira, “However, after the truce, after the truce, our leaders and commanders are fighting for influence among their own ranks. It made the Western Continental Guild vulnerable and chaotic.”
“Princess Saphira,” beyond belief, Lady Muthia interrupts, “In my opinion, collusion and intrigue between the leaders and the commander-in-chief has appeared even since the establishment of the alliance. From the very beginning, the foundation of our cooperation was very weak. That is what makes us never able to rival the power of the Kingdom of Marjan and the countries of the Great Mainland.”
“Hm,” Princess Saphira nodded slowly, “That makes sense. However, the dispute became more pronounced after the ceasefire was signed. If the ambassadors from the Mainland countries find out about this, they might consider re-attacking us and ignoring the truce.”
I noticed the two girls discussing heavy things. It felt like there was a mountain looming between us. Unlike the two of them who are active in foreign politics, I have always focused only on domestic trends. It's not that I don't pay attention to the politics of the aristocrats. Merely, I chose not to think too much about it as long as it had no major effect on my family.
Plok!
“Alright,” Princess Diamond I patted her hand once, “I've heard your opinion. Thank you for that valuable information. Now, I'd like to invite you to discuss.”
The carriage watched the princess. We saw her graceful figure again dignified. His face was smiling friendly. Her white hair dangled straight like fancy platinum threads. With a smooth voice, he said, “As you have said, the political condition of the continent is running even though it looks fine outside. I want to invite you to work together to improve that situation.”
“How can we fix it?” Vio spoke up, “We're just little girls who aren't even looked at at all by adults, especially in politics.”
“You're right,” Princess Diamond I nodded in understanding, “We probably won't be heard now. No matter how smart we are, we are just plain little kids to them. Therefore, I want to offer you a long-term plan. Aren't we the ones who will become continental figures in the future?”
“More or less so,” Putri Diamond I confirmed my remark, “I want you to start from the academy, more precisely is your generation. During this time, the competition between the classes was so tight that it formed a rough constellation map in politics in the academy.”
“So, yes,” Putri Saphira chimed in, “The noble students naturally built a circle of communion between them. Basically, they build relationships since studying at the academy. You want us to unite them for the sake of the Western Continental Guild in the future.”
“That's right,” Princess Diamond I clapped her hand once again, sign agree, “Sorry because I can't help you guys directly. However, I will definitely support you all with all my might.”
“You don't have to worry. We will accept this plan with all our heart,”. I can understand the meaning of the princess. Limitations and rumors circulating about him make him unable to move in front of the stage.
The heavy conversation made the journey to the Moon Palace pass without feeling. Queen la Diamond herself welcomed us once she got there. I saw the queen approaching her daughter immediately. His attitude showed how unfortunately he was to Princess Diamond I.
Queen la Diamond entertained us warmly. He also allowed us to look at the beautiful palace lake. Three boats were sent out for us. I sat in a boat with Viola and Eleanor, while Lady Muthia sat with Princess Saphira and her servant. The Queen and Princess Diamond I sat in the remaining boat.
“Princess Saphira, how about we race to paddle up to the end of the lake there?” ask me once we have sat in our respective positions. No waiter paddled the boat for us. We have to paddle it ourselves. It's more exciting than just sitting around watching until you're bored.
"Hm, racing?" Princess Saphira tilted her face, "Make what?"
"For exclamations only" I replied honestly.
"Don't the race have to have a prize?" Princess Saphira made the condition, "What reward will we get if we win?"
"Hm, right," I thought for a moment, "How about going to Madam Eline's Boutique? I'll visit there later this afternoon."
"Butik Madam Eline?" Princess Saphira turned to her servant, "What do you think, Sari?"
"Em ... that ...," the short-haired girl of shoulder seemed to hesitate for a moment, then expressed her opinion, “It was a famous boutique even in the Sapphire Kingdom. It might be nice if we could visit there.”
“Lady Muthia?” Princess Saphira now turned to Lady Muthia who was sitting at the very back. Lady Muthia answered briefly. “No problem.”
“How?” ask for confirmation, “What is enough?”
“Hm, okay,” Putri Saphira agreed, “Let's count together. I will test as great as what is the best boutique kingdom that is famous up to my country.”
“One .... two ... three!”
Our boat drove along. It doesn't matter who wins, who loses. Neither side will be harmed from a true race. After all, the essence I wanted to get was just the excitement.
