…season 2…
***damaresh Palace Hall***
All eyes were directed at them. Nicolas and Edmee stood up to challenge each other. While Nitami was still sitting quietly, the girl still set her nervous heart on her closeness to Nicolas a few seconds ago. Not out of surprise for the actions of Edmee who poured the liquid wine towards him.
"What are you doing, Miss Edmee Ballard?" Ask Nicolas can still set his tone.
"Do what I'm supposed to do, to a lowly person like him." Reply Edmee firmly and look down at Nitami who is now moving from his seat.
They had already become the center of attention of the invited guests that night. There is no reason for Nitami to be silent about Edmee's attitude and treatment of him.
"You…!!" Nicolas replies to a standstill, as Nitami prevents him.
"Leave it." Prevent Nitami still trying to relinquish and escape their show that is the center of everyone's attention.
"Are you okay." Nitami asked with a worried look at Nicolas' wet suit.
"I'm good." Nicolas wants to calm Nitami down.
"What's going on?" Tanya Levi who suddenly came with some of her family members.
"none. It's just a misunderstanding. Miss Edmee accidentally spilled her drink." Reply Nitami with a smile and a calm look on her face.
Some people saw clearly if Edmee deliberately poured the drink, not accidentally spilled the drink. Nitami just wanted to end the show with a good attitude. It is not good to make a fuss in front of the invited guests, let alone the presence of the daughter of Johanna Damaresh and Duke Wilmer Damaresh in the party.
"It turns out you're good at theatrics." Edmee with a smile looked down at Nitami.
"What theater can I play, Miss Edmee Ballard?" Nitami asked with the same smile as Edmee. Disrespecting the girl in front of him.
"The charade that can deceive everyone into sympathizing with you."
"Why would I do that? It's no use to me." Reply Nitami without saying politely. He knew that Edmee had no intention of ending the show.
"You should know who you are and your current position?" Edmee's warning wants Nitami to budge.
"Of course he knows who he is, and where his position is. Miss Edmee Ballard." Said Leon coming crimp. The man dislikes hearing Nitami being denigrated and belittled by Edmee.
He saw it all from the beginning. He knows this is the one that goes into Nitami's plan. Creating the beginning and root of all his plans to begin to develop.
"Only, Saila knew how to behave and held everything well." Leon said as he stood straight beside Nitami.
Edmee. He knew he had to be careful in the face of Leonardo Misel who came and defended Nitami. But he also did not want to give up so easily, a faint smile rose as he watched his family members also coming towards them. At first he was afraid, not anymore. There's already the Ballard family that's gonna protect him.
"What is this, Mr Leon?" Ask Regio Ballard who came and stood next to his daughter Edmee Ballard.
"Pa..Nico and this woman said, if they're going to get married soon because there's a child tying them both up." Edmee's words revealed everything quickly.
Regio looked at his daughter, and he knew that she would not lie. Then he looked towards Nitami and Nicolas.
"If that's true, how could our family be humiliated like this. Didn't Nico and I plan to get engaged." Edmee said adding back.
Regio knew what his daughter meant. That was the original plan of the two families. Uniting the noble families of Ballard and the noble families of Massimo and Orlando, with a marriage between Nicolas and Edmee. But if what Edmee says is true? That marriage would never have happened, which meant that the Ballard family had been betrayed and humiliated.
"Is that true?" Ask Regio in the direction of Nicolas and Nitami in turn.
Edmee's sly and wicked smile rose on his face, he felt that he had won if his family or papa had intervened. He was sure that the Massimo family or the Orlando family would not dare to resist and fight them.
'What are you going to do now?' Edmee murmured in his mind.
"Yes sir. That's right, we're getting married soon because there's a child between us that ties us together." Reply Nicolas firmly while grasping tightly the hand of Nitami who was beside him.
Nicolas wants them to be strong in the face of all these problems. They already knew that a cold war and a clear rivalry would start among these noble families. Nitami retaliates against Nicolas's powerful grasp, which can make him even stronger to face it all.
Edmee Ballard saw the grip of their hands, he resisted the turmoil in his heart. His jaw seems hardened, in front of the father he should not be rash in acting and behaving.
The entire Massimo and Orlando families were not surprised at all, because they knew that sooner or later the marriage would be spread and known by many parties. So they just kept quiet enough.
Daniel as the elder of the Massimo family signals Alex to come forward to approach them. They want to solve the problem tonight quickly, before there is a dispute that will be caused by a spark that will come from someone. Someone they don't know who brought the fire?
"Sorry Mr. Regio. We'd better finish this family thing, at home. It's not good tonight, because her highness princess Joanna and Duke Wilmer Damaresh are still in the party." Daniel wants to mediate peacefully.
Regio stared intently and coldly at Daniel. I know that the elder of the Massimo family was already aware of the marriage problem between Nicolas and Nitami.
"How could you have known this matter as well, Mr. Daniel." Reply Regio with a faint smile, but his eyes are sharp looking at Daniel.
Daniel knew what to do and how to behave? He is quick and good at reading situations.
"Sorry Mr. Regio. I also just found out about their long-standing relationship. You know what you and I should be doing now. Resetting everything and finding a solution to this problem, isn't that what we should be doing. Isn't that so Mr Leonardo Misel?" Reveal Daniel calmly to Regio, then look towards Leon for the support of the second highest family within the sphere of nobles.
"Of course, Mr. Daniel. What else this concerns my only sister. The only daughter of the Mishel family." Reply Leon deliberately emphasized some of his important sentences to be spoken clearly.
Regio and some of the Ballard family fell silent. It wasn't easy for them to go up against the highest family above them. They had to think long and set things up if they wanted to win against the Misel family who were now getting into the matter.
"The noble daughter of Joanna and Duke Wilmer Damaresh has arrived." The notice distracts all of their attention.
Everyone gave their way and respect for the arrival of the princess and Duke who were guests of honor in the party.
"What is this, sir?" Princess Joanna asked with a calm look.
"I'm sorry, your honor, if we've ruined the party tonight." Daniel represents them all.
"Destroying the party, what do you mean?" Ask princess Joanna. Duke Wilmer Damaresh is still quietly observing everything.
"There was a misunderstanding between Miss Edmee, Nicolas and Miss Saila, your honor." Daniel's Law.
"What kind of misunderstanding?" Ask me to know. Moreover, it concerns Nitami. The old woman looked towards Nitami who was standing hand in hand with Nicolas.
His eyes looked at Edmee Ballard, who was still upset. The princess smiled, and now she knows what happened? The old lady was still smart enough to read the situation tonight.
"All right, I understand. Looks like it's gonna have to be done soon, certainly not in this place and not tonight." Said the princess smiling to melt the tense atmosphere between all of them.
"May I give you a suggestion and an order for this matter?" Ask princess Joanna to come solve their problems.
Some of them looked at each other, then answered agreeing to the advice and orders of the princess. They did not dare to refuse or refute the orders and will of the supreme leader of the noble family within their sphere.
"Thank you, your majesty. It's an honor for us to take orders and advice from you." Reply Daniel agreed to the solution given by Joanna's daughter.
The old woman who was now in control of their problems, looked towards the Regio who was still silent. So did Duke Wilmer Damaresh who looked calmly at Regio who was looking towards him.
"Thank you, your majesty. It's an honor for our family to take orders and advice from you." Regio's reply was forced to agree to end their dispute tonight.
"alright. My personal assistant will arrange everything. I hope you stay calm to address all these issues. All problems will have answers and solutions." Reply princess Joanna tried wisely in giving a message and advice for them.
"It seems like the night is getting late. Are you all enjoying the party tonight and happy?" Ask the princess to all the guests tonight.
"Thank you for your noble kindness." At once everyone answered with a smile rising on their faces.
A smile that looked sincere and pretended on some of the faces of the invited guests. All must be good at putting themselves in, when the supreme control has intervened.
"All right then. Thank you for all of you. Have a great day and a party tonight will be memorable for everyone." Said the princess with the last look of her eyes long looking towards Nitami who also saw her.
"Good night and see you again next time." Say again. Before princess Joanna passed away, her eyes looked for a moment at Nitami. Her smile expands sincerely and warmly to Nitami.
Nitami also returned the smile while bowing her head to give her respect to the princess.
After the departure of Joanna's daughter as well as all members of the Damaresh family. One by one they also left the palace hall of Damaresh. Bring their respective problems that must be resolved after this night has passed.
