The Bungsu Princess Inferior

29. First Meeting

I looked down, many people were staring at me with sparkling eyes, as if I was something precious they had been waiting for all along. My heart was breaking, I was afraid of disappointing all those gazes, their whispers were clearly heard in my ears as exaggerated praise.

I was still flying around in all the black clothes my father had given me to wear at the beginning of the journey, my long black hair in a ponytail, my hood still attached, Sister Nala put it on for me just as she was going out of the portal. I focused my gaze on the thousands of people gathered in the hall of the great banquet or so-called grand hall. The Great Hall was the hall that the father had erected outside the palace. The grand hall is a vast field without a fence wall, there is only a core building at one end and in front of the building is usually placed several thrones occupied by the emperor and family. This hall is usually used only to hold rituals, banquet events, or important events that need to involve the people. The grand hall is protected by magic, when not in use then the grand hall will not be visible to the naked eye and will not be able to enter, he said, except for the emperor's permission and what others saw was only the lush expanse of the city forest. So when the great hall is revealed, the people must immediately gather because they understand there will be an important thing that requires their presence.

I immediately bowed respectfully to the people, then stood up and saluted again to my father, mother and brothers who sat on the throne. Father always taught that it is the people who must receive respect first, before him then I remember it and do it today, where this is the day of my first official meeting with the people.

"All the people are welcome to sit down," the voice of Uncle Ezio echoed throughout the hall, golden chairs popping up by themselves, making a neat and beautiful pattern, even though the number of people was so large that it filled the streets, but the number of seats continues to increase following their number, there is no need to fear the lack of seats. The people sat comfortably with their eyes still not separated from me, while they seemed to put their ears together to hear every sound, they looked very enthusiastic.

I looked for Uncle Ezio with my eyes, and found him sitting in the ranks of the imperial higher-ups, exactly one step under the throne of the imperial family, there were at least 50 state higher-ups sitting there, he said, including Sarala's foster mother, Mahanta's elders, Vivian and Edward.

"The way to commemorate the birthday of Her Majesty Princess Aira will begin immediately along with the rising of the moon of the gods, please watch it solemnly."

I immediately looked up at the sky, after hearing Uncle Ezio's words. The sky was already dark but in contrast to what I experienced in the silver empire, the dragon protective layer seemed undisturbed, no war troops made excessive protection like about to war, he said, it seems that the father was just having a regular birthday party for his daughter, with no worries of any troublemakers present.

I looked down again, at the people who now chose to silently watch. Some of the soldiers were seen alerting among them, but still looked natural, nothing excessive. All of a sudden all of the light was turned off, dark and silent filled my sight, but I think it was prepared because there was no panic, either from the side of the people, or from the direction of my family, although now I can't see it because it's so dark.

Soon a very bright light began to appear illuminating the darkness, many times more than ordinary moonlight even equal to sunlight, the difference is that this light provides gentle warmth instead of stinging heat. The longer the light got brighter, spreading all over, but then forming an aura around my body, making me float higher.

In contrast to the moon god that issued a whip of light in the silver empire, the moon god this time really felt more comfortable and warm, treating me gently. The light enveloped me until I was forced to close my eyes because I was so bright. A warm feeling spread throughout my body, starting to penetrate into and fill my soul and body.

"Click" I heard a voice from inside my own body, a voice that resembled an open padlock. I felt an enormous aura begin to pour out from inside my body, continuously for a long time not stopping to make me feel like spinning several times. I still closed my eyes enjoying a sensation that was not painful at all, I resigned.

"Long lifespan Her Highness the Crown Princess, Longevity of the Emperor, Longevity of the Empress!"

As I was about to grope over my head, I sharpened my hearing to the cheers of the people who were still heard, they looked at me in amazement and sparkled happily.

"Long lifespan Her Highness the Crown Princess, Longevity of Her Majesty the Emperor, Longevity of Her Highness the Empress!"

I found the foreign words they uttered, 'His Highness the Crown Princess' ? Okay from their words I concluded that now perched on my head is the crown princess, surely father and mother must have done something until I did not realize that they were pinning the crown on my head, I glanced a little towards the throne, but all eyes seemed to focus on me, as if they also did not expect what they saw now, the father was seen clasping tightly to the mother's hand.

Suddenly I was a little surprised, a purplish blue light shot out from the sapphire ring on my ring finger, along with it the silver aura from my palm began to incarnate a majestic silver dragon.

Ryu and Vio appeared together, Ryu on my right and Vio on my left, now they are enveloped in the same rainbow aura as me, the crowns on their heads slowly turned into silver gold-colored crowns with colorful crystals similar to my rainbow aura. Their bodies have not changed but their auras are now extremely similar to my aura, is it possible that since they are my saint beasts then they will have the power I have? I might!

"Give Your respects to Her Highness Crown Princess Aira!" Uncle Ezio's voice echoed again to the people who had stopped their cheers in amazement at Ryu and Vio.

"Our respect to Her Highness Crown Princess Aira!" I saw all the people, the soldiers and even the entire imperial higher-ups all gathered to salute me, while my family was still sitting on their thrones, looking at me with a difficult gaze, right now all I want is to quickly fly up and hug them.

"Thank you, I'll take your honor, please sit down." I stretched out my right hand, rainbow powder fell scattered from the sky, raining down on everyone.

"Thank you for coming and accepting me as the crown princess, I am not as experienced nor as great as the rest of my family, but I will try not to disappoint you, please help me in the future, may we all be blessed with happiness, health, prosperity and glory! Long live the Sun Empire!"

"Life the Sun Empire!" The people cheered along with cheerfully.

"Life Crown Princess!"
