My Little Queen's

Chapters. 14 Royal banquet

The day continues to pass, no terrace is only two days ahead of the celebration of the royal wedding.

"Why don't I see Adrian?" ask King Edward.

"Prince Adrian was in the western fortress, helping Prince Edmund there" replied general Valentine.

"At a time like this?doesn't she remember her brother's wedding two days away?" king Edward said astonished.

"Maybe the prince Adrian pityed the prince Edmund who had to take care of everything himself there, given the current state of Prince Edmund" replied the general Valentine again.

"Well then, maybe Edmund will not be able to attend the party later. I'm quite happy that Adrian was there with him." said King Edward.

Prince Edmund was the younger brother of King Edward, who was born with a less than perfect physical condition, because his legs were paralyzed from birth.

Prince Edmund was not very fond of the crowd, perhaps because of his physical state that made him not confident in the crowd. That's why Prince Edmund prefers to settle in the fortress of the western region is quite remote.

"Mr princess!", cried someone who had just entered Artha's daughter's room.

"Natalie!!, oh, god you've healed Natalie!", cried princess Artha, she welcomed Natalie's arrival with a warm embrace.

"Thank God Natalie, I'm so happy to see you!", said princess Artha full of haru.

" Thank you for worrying about me, your majesty" said Natalie, she shed happy tears.

"Don't cry Natalie, I'm so grateful you're back." princess Artha wiped the tears on Natalie's cheek.

Natalie was happy.

"Now help me to get ready, soon we will attend the royal dinner" said princess Artha.

"All right, your majesty!", said Natalie with a smile.

"I'm very happy, the princess will marry Prince Enzo" Natalie said while helping Princess Artha style her hair.

" I don't know Natalie, I don't know if I should be happy or sad about it." said princess Artha as she looked away at the reflection of her face in the mirror.

" It felt like just yesterday I had my 15th birthday, at that time I prayed for the safety and happiness of my parents, Arabella, me and the people of Pulchara kingdom" he said with a sad face.

"And now I am here in the royal court of Magna to marry the prince Enzo for the sake of all of them" she said.

"Would you be Natalie, when I was a child, I always dreamed of marrying a crown prince and becoming an empress."

"But when I saw how hard it was for my sister to become an empress, I thought it would be more fun to marry an ordinary noble."

"It looks like it will be happier" he said again with a small smile imagining it.

"But the fact that all humans in this world have to live their life destiny that has been outlined by God."

"Isn't that so, Natalie?" princess Artha said.

"Yes, princess." Natalie answered briefly the words of princess Artha.

Natalie felt that princess Artha's words described the sadness in her heart, how this princess Artha who was her age had to bear such a heavy burden. True said the wise man not always that looks beautiful in our eyes will be beautiful for others.

Who does not want to be Princess Artha, a princess of the king, has a beautiful face, will marry a future king who will later make her a great royal consort of Magna.

But behind it all, a lot of suffering and burdens that he had to bear, even princess Artha still had to fight against the people in the palace who hated her that could have been life-threatening.

"Done!" exclaimed Natalie while tidying up the princess's clothes.

"Thank you Natalie!" said princess Artha .

"Sama-sama, Artha's daughter." replied Natalie.

"Let's go!" exclaimed princess Artha who followed a nod by Natalie.

The two of them also walked towards the royal family banquet hall, this evening will be held an official banquet of the Magna royal family, this event is held to gather his members of the royal family along with the officials and nobles in the kingdom of Magna, Magna, at the same time to introduce princess Artha as the future wife of Prince Enzo.

The banquet looks crowded, though,

"Thank you." replied Princess Artha politely.

Princess Artha sat next to the handsome prince Enzo in formal attire, his porcelain-like face growing handsome with sharp blue eyes and thick black eyebrows.

Princess Artha sat opposite Lady Rose, the middle-aged woman's face looking friendly, she smiled sweetly at princess Artha.

Princess Artha returned her smile while nodding small. Next to him sat Duke Wayne's wife and his wife Dutches Penelope.

Duke Wayne was a cousin of King Edward, while King Edward had only one younger brother, Prince Edmund.

There were many unfamiliar faces at the banquet, only a few that Princess Artha had seen.

Martha and her father prime minister Markus were at the other end of the table, her eyes were swollen and her face pouting, general Valentine sitting next to a woman, several important officials of the Magna kingdom were also there.

"Let's start dinner today!" king Edward.

Then they began to eat their food, the dishes served were very appetizing, almost everyone ate greedily, maybe except Martha who looks occasionally still shed her tears.

Dinner is over, everyone moves into the party room, there more people come. The party room was crowded with people chatting, the palace servants offering snacks and drinks to the guests, King Edward was sitting with prime minister Markus and other officials in a special room.

"You don't deserve to be here, substitute daughter!" marta's voice broke the daydream of princess Artha who was sitting alone in the corner of the room.

"Sorry, what do you mean, Martha?!" replied Princess Artha pretended not to understand.

"You're just gonna be the moons of this palace!" he said sharply. No one heard what Martha and princess Artha were talking about because all were busy chatting with each other, from afar they would only look like two people were chatting.

"I don't understand what you're talking about!" answered princess Artha.

"Later you'll know what I mean!" he said while grinning evil .

"Hum..!" without them noticing Lady Rose was already near the two of them.

Martha left when she saw who was coming.

"Mr Artha's daughter" said Lady Rose.

"Include me, I'm Lady Rose Bright. the eldest sister of the late Empress Sabrina." she said with a smile, and then took a seat next to Princess Artha.

"Ah, Lady Rose Bright, it's a pleasure to meet you." said Princess Artha with a smile.

"Sabrina must be very happy to see you, you're a very beautiful princess." she said with a sad look.

"Enzo was everything to her, even she was willing to sacrifice to give birth to prince Enzo."

"His frail body should not have been able to survive, but she insisted on maintaining her pregnancy." tears began to drip from her sunken eyes.

Princess Artha wipes Lady Rose's tears with her handkerchief.

"I'm sorry, it should be a happy night tonight, but I'm telling you a sad thing" she said, trying to smile.

"It's okay lady Rose.I'm glad you want to share the story of empress Sabrina with me." said princess Artha softly.

Although this was their first meeting, but princess Artha could feel the sincerity of what Lady Rose said who loved her sister very much.

"Daughter Artha, Enzo never felt the affection of a mother from her childhood, I hope you can love and cherish her as sincere as your heart later." said Lady Rose while holding the hand of Princess Artha.

Princess Artha just smiled at Lady Rose's sincere words, while returning the hand of Lady Rose tightly.

Lady Rose has left princess Artha alone.

"Love and love! , it may be easy to say. But how can I not know Prince Enzo well myself, it can even be said this marriage I did because I was forced." he thought.

Somehow princess Artha felt there was a pair of eyes watching her from earlier, she turned her head in that direction.

"Bugh..!" the eyes of princess Artha and prince Enzo met, there was a strange vibe creeping through her heart. Princess Artha did not understand what it meant, maybe the fear of the pair of sharp eyes or because she felt sorry after hearing the story of Lady Rose just now.
