The Bloom At Royal Harem's
8. The One In Wait
The atmosphere was bright this morning, with the sound of birds chirping welcoming the day. Seen some people seem busy back and forth alternating while bringing some goods and cloth to decorate every corner of the palace. Although they were tired, they did not complain in the slightest even they seemed happy when they got the happy news from the only daughter of the residence.
During these 5 years, the girl always refused the request of her father who always requested that his son hold a birthday party like a noble in general, but always a variety of reasons were thrown. Until the moment that everyone was waiting for in the residence. A 10th birthday party will be held suddenly tomorrow night, coinciding with the appearance of the crescent moon for the first time in a month.
Not caring about the noise outside, a girl in a thin white nightgown still slept in her dreams with a roll of furry fox blankets in a large room that was still tightly sealed. Occasionally a small groan was heard from behind the door guarded by 2 people with quite large bodies.
Before long a woman and a girl entered the room, opening some curtains, he took her to wander around because of the wind and light that penetrated into the room until it hit right on the face of the little girl who immediately woke up from her sleep because she felt disturbed. He groaned slightly, before the blue netra was as clear as the ocean with a faint gaze slowly opening adjusting the lighting around him. His hand he stretched upward by occasionally covering his mouth which was still yawning.
“Good morning, Putri” said Vio and Adele together.
“Good morning, brother. Good morning, Adele” said the girl who was none other than Nachella the main mastermind of the uproar this morning.
Nachella crawled down from her bed, followed by Adele and Vio.
“Mr Princess, I have an order from His Majesty the King to tell if the Princess is waiting in the dining room for breakfast with His Majesty the King and the princes” said Adele.
Hearing Adele's formal words, Nachella immediately nodded her head. Another case with Vio who has begun to get used to using familiar language without frills said Tuan. Yes, even though Nachella really wants if Vio calls her by her name, but what can make Vio also both have the same stubborn nature as him.
“Good. Brother, can you prepare a shirt for me?” said Nachella who was directly in the canai Vio.
“Mr Princess, I will prepare warm water for you” said Adele who immediately sauntered away after bending her body.
After the death of the two, Nachella immediately smiled happily. Because for him it is very rare to be able to eat together even more with his father who very he knows if his busyness can shake the world. Therefore, he was so enthusiastic when he heard the invitation.
“Daughter, the water is ready” Adele said entering her room.
Nachella breezed away leaving her, approaching Vio who was still struggling in with a pile of dresses before she walked straight into the bathroom. Nachella was used to bathing by herself, although it was still a commotion at times because she said everything she did had to be served by the maid. But for him such personal things are not necessary, especially he must be served by servants who are more than five people. More precisely he was ashamed.
After almost half an hour, Nachella came out of the bathroom with her suit. A rose gold bouffont dress with a goose-like top.
Vio's choice never disappoints, he thought.
His footsteps approached the dresser, asking Vio to braid a little hair on his right, then let the rest unravel without him tying or ornamental.
“Princess, you want to use which crown?” ask Vio while showing two crown boxes in front of him.
One yellow box contains a rose gold-colored crown in the form of plums, with a blend of white from pearls connected to butterflies that appear to be tied to the roots of plants.
While the other box is blue, contains a white crown with decorations that radiate upwards like ornamental roots on which he has many peach-colored crystal stones in the form of small boxes. In addition, there are also decorations such as rope that dangle on the right and left side.
Nachella smiled looking at the two crowns so beautiful that she unconsciously raised her smile when she imagined the two crowns attached to the top of her head.
“I want that one, kak” Nachella said as she pointed to the blue box.
Slowly, Vio took the crystal-decorated crown before placing it on the head of Nachella who was unceasingly smiling.
“Daughter, you are very beautiful” praise Vio staring at the reflection of glass that reflects the face of the employer and his friend.
Nachella who saw her reflection in the glass certainly joined in admiration. She really felt pretty this time or maybe too pretty even with just a makeshift makeup.
With light steps, Nachella walked out of her room which was also on Vio's tail behind her. Before long, he had been standing before a large door that was immediately greeted with shouts signaling his arrival.
“Your Majesty the King, this Princess gives greetings Nachella said as she bowed 90 degrees.
Alexander who saw it just snorted softly to see the behavior of his daughter. He did not even intend to answer Nachella's greeting, with the aim of making her upset and she could laugh later. And his conjecture was right, a moment later the sound of protest with a funny tone made him immediately laugh loosely.
"Dad, when will you let me stand?"
"Dad, why are you laughing?"
"Dad, huh" said the little girl who immediately sat beside Alaskar.
"Sister, look at dad. He teased me again" Nachella protested as she pulled Alaskar's still-focused arm with the food she was about to bribe into her mouth.
"Haish, it's like you just got to know me" he said.
"Nachella why are you doing such a formality? Am I as your father so scary?" Alexander asked in a voice made if he seemed angry.
Hearing that, Nachella quickly ran to hug the arm of Alexander who was still silent without caring about it, even seeing it was not.
Oh, come on handsome! Don't get angry easily, Okay!, Nachella said in her heart.
I really want him to say something like this, but of course he can't. What will it be like if he said like that, maybe the kingdom will be in an uproar or maybe it will be heard to the ears of the people and will be put in the pretty face if the news spread.
"Dad, I'm just kidding" he said, now swinging Alexander's hand to the right and left slowly.
"Dad, did you know dad? I should have been the one who was upset with Dad" he continued.
Instantly, Alexander and his two sons looked towards Nachella. Both of his eyebrows frowned in confusion, hearing the words of the girl and her sister. On the other hand, Nachella smiled triumphantly. The trick this time worked.
"Why?" Alexander asked confusedly.
"Because dad rarely has time for me, even dad also told Kak Leon and Kak Alaskar this and that so they can not accompany me to play" said Nachella as she pursed her lips.
Hearing that, Alexander lowered his head. Thinking about her daughter's words being 100% true. But what can be done, his duty as the ruler of this country requires him to do work that often even interferes with his sleep.
"I'm sorry" said Alexander.
Nachella blinked her eyes, she didn't mean that.
"Hahahahaha, my father was just kidding. I'm not angry at all. I love you" said Nachella, hugging Alexander, who was still sitting languidly.
Alexander who heard that immediately smiled faintly. His hand moved back in the arms of his daughter. Occasionally his right hand was pointed at the head, stroking Nachella's red mane.
"Aren't you angry?" Alexander asked looked at Nachella who immediately shook her head.
Nachella who saw Alexander was still sad to take a spoon that was not far from him. Scooping the green bean porridge and then directing it to Alexander.
"Aa." he said as he continued to point the spoon in Alexander's mouth.
Alexander immediately opened his mouth to receive the food Nachella gave him.
"Dad just realized, why do you look more beautiful today?" Alexander asked when he saw his only daughter who looked different than usual.
"I've always been a pretty dad" I said a little bragging even though I knew being cocky wasn't good.
"Yes already. They also said they would bring their children, especially their daughters, so that Nachella could have friends" said Alexander who now has Nachella on his shoulder.
"Dad, who did you invite? Was Mr Bacley invited as well?" Asked Nachella who was no less curious.
Of course he was very curious, especially with 2 causes of problems in the script of the story he made. Especially the only man who was named Katterina Laviric Bacley, the venomous snake.
"Of course it's because he's a minister here and I heard he has a daughter who's the same age as you. Ah what is the name, let me remember for a moment" said Alexander who now knocks his own head trying to remember the name of the woman.
"Katterina, isn't it?" Nachella pretended not to know.
"Yes, you're right. How the hell did you know? Have you guys been friends?" Alexander asked.
"Ah no, Dad. I just guessed it's the origin. I heard the name several times" said Nachella who immediately took the food in front of him without any intention to continue the conversation again.

Day changes night. Now the Courlage residence or more precisely the Courlage Palace has been crowded with nobles who attended to celebrate the birthday of the daughter of the Courlage family.
In another corner of the palace, a little girl was seen surrounded by many people who were styling her hair and decorating her tiny face. His lips are natural pink, given a little peach-colored dye that makes it look fresher. Not to mention with a mere apron dress indicolite colored legs that are combined with long strands of fabric located on the back of the colored pervenche, adding a fresh and pleasing impression in view. His hair he braids on both sides, then put it together in front of the back hair that is still scattered. The top of his head wears a golden crown with both sides shaped like wings, and immediately fused on the decoration for the back of his butterfly-shaped hair flanked by two hibiscus flowers, which are also known as hibiscus, with a stiff dangling decoration shaped tree roots.
"Daughter is so beautiful. I am sure, the Crown Prince will definitely fall for the princess" said Vio.
Nachella who heard him smiled widely. He can't wait to meet his brother.
"of course. I'm also sure he won't take off his hand" Nachella said enthusiastically, picturing Leon and Alaskar's faces.
"Come, our daughter's out. The King, the Crown Prince, and the second Prince must have been waiting for you" Vio said, inviting Nachella down from her dressing chair.
His eyes rolled out, looking at the moon as if he was happy and congratulating him. Every now and then his big smile met the servants who stared in amazement at the appearance of the girl who moved like a living doll. Nachella just smiled broadly at them as she occasionally jumped down a small royal hallway that was now filled with beautiful lights as lighting.
"Dad, Brother!" Pekiknya while running towards the three men who are now staring intently at him.
"Can't you not run? What if you fall? Later your pretty face becomes ugly" protested Alaskar when Nachella was already nearby.
Nachella who heard that only smiled widely, displaying a neat row of white teeth.
"Easy-after. Let's go in! Do not make them wait long" said Alexander.
Hearing that, Nachella quickly walked over to her father. He held the man's hand to his right and his left hand to Leon's. As for Alaskar, the man only followed the three with a jealous face.
Soon there was a scream that made all pairs of eyes immediately focus their attention on the big door that now has 2 men who hold a very beautiful little girl in the middle. Behind them was a young man, who tried to smile kindly and greet them.
"Greetings to His Majesty King Alexander, Crown Prince Leon, Second Son of Alaskar, Princess Nachella. May the sky protect you" said the audience at the same time directly in reply Alexander by raising his right hand a sign of greeting they have received and they can return to their original position.
"Greetings, Your Majesty King Alexander" said a man with a much older age than Alexander who had somehow come from nowhere.
The man walked up to Alexander along with an old woman and a small girl his size was not too far away with Nachella
"Wake up!" Alexander's orders were immediately supported by the man.
"Mr Bacley, you're so quick to come to my sister's show" Leon said.
Bacley?, thought Nachella.
"Sure, Crown Prince. I also brought my daughter to meet Princess Nachella" the man said with a smile.
"Katterina, hurry here and greet His Majesty the King, Crown Prince Leon, Second Son Alaskar, and Princess Nachella" he said.
Before long a girl who was beside the old woman came forward and stood beside Mr. Bacley.
"Greetings Your Majesty the King, Crown Prince, Crown Prince, Princess" the girl said as she bowed 90 degrees.
"Stand!" Alexander's Order.
"What's your name?" Ask Alaskar indifferently.
"Izin replied, Prince. My name is Katterina Laviric Bacley" she said.
Nachella who heard that immediately smiled faintly. He was very much looking forward to his meeting with the girl who has now been seen if the girl has a snake nature since she was a child.
His eyes looked at the appearance of the girl in front of him from hair to toe. His face is quite small but looks sneaky, with black hair, his nose is pointed with lips that are slightly volume. Her slender waist she wrapped in a plain red dress with velvet material that impressed elegant.
Pretty, Inner Nachella.
"Hi, I'm Nachella. Greetings know" he pretended to be enthusiastic.
"Greetings, Princess" Katterina said with a smile that was difficult to interpret.
"HIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR AND THE IMPERIAL CROWN PRINCE ENTERED THE ROOM" Shouted someone from behind the door.
Instantly all eyes were on the door that was now starting to open displaying two men in their formal attire that dazzled the eyes. One is red, black with gold thread ornaments stringing dragon patterns, while the other is wearing black white clothes with the same thread and motif in the form of a golden dragon.
"Our respect Your Majesty the Emperor and the Crown Prince of the Empire may Goddess Anocia protect you" they said as they bowed 90 degrees.
"Stand!" Said the man with a stern face who was wearing black red clothes.
"Stand!" Said the other man who was a small man with an adorable face but inversely proportional to the firm and cold face he emitted.
"Thank you Your Majesty the Emperor and the Crown Prince" said everyone who had now begun to re-establish their bodies.
The two men now began to walk up, approaching the throne that is already available between 4 thrones on the right and left.
"Nachella, look at the ice!" Alaskar said as he turned his head to the man who was now sitting next to the emperor.
"Who is she, brother?" Ask Nachella.
"He's Felix, the iceberg of the Crown Prince of the Empire" Leon said.
"WHAT?!" Scream Nachella.
