The Bungsu Princess Inferior

1. AIRA AIRLANGGA

"Your Highness, Princess, please wake up. The sun has risen."

I squirm lazily, Sarala's foster mother's voice sounded a little disturbing. "In the meantime foster mother, I'm really still sleepy" I said as I huddled back into a roll, preparing to return to dreamland.

"But Your Majesty, I fear His Majesty the Emperor will be enraged," Sarala's foster mother's voice sounded trembling. "Your Majesty missed breakfast together this morning, what would it be like to skip lunch. The Emperor and the Empress will definitely reprimand you, Princess. I beg you to wake up, "this time the foster mother sounds more like a plea.

"Breakfast together?" I was shocked and immediately sat on my bed. "Didn't my father and mother have a visit to the cloud empire today?" my eyes almost came out so shocked to hear the foster mother, I looked at the foster mother asking for an explanation. As I said yesterday my father and mother prepared to visit the cloud empire because the cloud emperor is birthday today, which is why I think I can laze around.

"It's glorious, but the Emperor and the Empress are scheduled to leave later that afternoon, because the birthday of His Majesty the Emperor Rajendra is just about to start at night."

"What?" I hurried off the bed. "Mother, please help me clean up and get ready now."

"Okay, Your Majesty," the foster mother swiftly led me to clean up. It is undeniable that I am very panicked, my father and mother will definitely rebuke me, 'forgive me what punishment I will carry out later, hopefully not too heavy' I said in my heart.

*-*

I sat tensely, father and mother entering the dining room together. Immediately I stood up and saluted like an imperial princess. Father and mother sat down without making a sound, I was a little relieved considering that both of them still had not reprimanded me, probably still safe. Without thinking that lunch was going well, I was grateful in my heart and sipped my drink until there was nothing left.

"Aira, follow mom and dad."

Finish me, geez how this is. I panicked half to death but tried to calm down. "Okay father," I said, trailing behind my father and mother. I did not dare to look me in the eyes of my parents, I just looked down and followed them walking in front of me. We entered my office, not long after the servant had closed the door, my father and mother were seated side by side, and I was still standing before them, not having the courage to sit down.

"Seeing you down like that, I'm sure you've understood what you've done wrong" my voice pierced my ear. I still looked down, not daring to look at Dad.

"Aira, look into your father's eyes and answer."

"I'm sorry Aira, dad. Aira woke up too late to miss breakfast with her father and mother" I answered, holding my hands together in front of my stomach, and bowed my head slightly, begging father for forgiveness.

"You woke up in the afternoon thinking father and mother would pay a visit to the cloud empire right? I don't think, what happens if mom and dad are dead?"

I was stunned at my father's words, my heart ached like there were thousands of knives sticking out, my eyes trying to look at my father's eyes, there was a clear disappointment in both eyes.

"The people urge you to raise you as the crown princess immediately, but look! Just want to be left for a while already want to be alone, I really do not think out! What would happen if you gave up this kingdom to you? Lest you act foolishly and torment the people!"

It turned out that this was the so-called calm before the storm, the father holding back his anger during lunch. As the father emperor always put the people first, no wonder he was so angry. I bowed my head again, my heart began to clench and my eyes began to glaze over.

"Don't you know that you live on people's money? Many people diligently got up early, working hard for this empire. They trust us, even you, to be a leader in the future. What would happen if they knew that when they woke up, their leader was lazing? answer me!"

My tears began to unstoppable, dripping in silence. "I'm sorry Aira father, Aira has disappointed many people, Aira has abused the trust of the people," I replied with a slight sobbing, honestly my heart is very sick, just this time my father yelled at me with a rising voice. Usually if I make a mistake, my father always scolds me but still in a soft voice, even that can scare me, but this time it seems like I've gone too far so that dad can no longer say softly to me.

"Your Majesty, please calm down" I tried to calm my father. "Aira hear son, after your two brothers are married, follow each other's husbands and are now queens in their own kingdom, then indirectly, he said, the successor of this kingdom is you as the youngest daughter of the sun empire. From now on you must learn responsibility, no longer be the spoiled youngest daughter, because on your shoulders there is such a great responsibility, the whole people depend on you later. The advance or destruction of this empire is entirely in your hands when you become emperor later,"

"No!" dad cut out mom's words.

My mom and I looked at my dad at the same time. What do you mean, Dad said no? Did I hear wrong?

"My wife, I don't think I'm going to make Aira the crown princess,"

I was stunned, my eyes looked at my mother without any hesitation, my words sounded very clear, making me also speechless to look at my father. My father's gaze now turned to look at me. I shook violently, as soon as I felt that being human was useless. My mind wandered, my heart began to break. Am I so unworthy of being the crown princess? Am I really useless?
