The Bungsu Princess Inferior
5. FOSTER CHILD
I corrected my sitting position, so the white fox squirmed a little on my lap.
"I think you misunderstood me, I took this trip as punishment for my very irresponsible actions. Dad was so angry with me" I said sadly.
"After all, I realized that this untalented me was not worthy of the title of crown princess, nor even worthy of being known as the youngest daughter of the Sun Empire. From your stories, how could I have been born to such a great father and mother? Am I just a foster child?"
I looked at the two elves in front of me with a look for an explanation, but they laughed at me. Why even laugh?
"Sorry, Your Majesty, how can you say that you are not talented? I swear on my life that Her Royal Highness Princess Aira is a Descendant Born from Her Majesty Emperor Abhimanyu and Her Majesty Empress Elina."
Vivian nodded confirming her husband's words. "Your Majesty even gave us the blessing of happiness when it came, how could Your Majesty not be talented?"
I'm trying to process Vivian's words, 'bless happiness'. Is the gold powder I see raining down on the people of the rainforest a blessing to my words so that they can always be happy? But aren't blessings only meant for god-class capable people? Geez how I explain to them to understand that I am not what they think I am, the Boro-boro goddess, a power that does not have, that it feels cry but shame.
"I'm really untalented, I don't have any special abilities like you, so from now on don't give me too much respect, because I'm really just an ordinary human being."
Lest I was indeed an adopted child whose status was kept secret by father and mother, so that all this time father did not give me permission to appear officially in front of the people. Perhaps this journey was a punishment so that I would know that I was just an adopted child, my inner self.
This time Edward and Vivian smiled broadly in response to my remark, "There is no need to humble Your Majesty."
Geez humble how si, I said annoyed in the heart. Judah is whatever, tired of explaining to them.
"Ehm, just before you came to me, I somehow felt that something was calling me to get closer, something somehow from the opposite direction when you came, I guess, is there really a place I need to go or is it just my feelings?"
Edward and Vivian looked at each other, and they stood together, "Let me take His Majesty."
Hearing Edward's words, I held the white fox that was still asleep, I stood up and then laid the white fox on the chair I was sitting on. After that I approached Edward and Vivian who had been waiting. Edward moved his right hand and a portal was formed in front of us.
"Please Your Majesty," Vivian reached out her right hand, I reached for Vivian's helping hand and slowly entered the portal, followed by Vivian and Edward. Instantly my feet stepped on the green grass on the edge of a very clear lake. I heard the clear sound of the waterfall, I raised my head, and the beautiful waterfall ambushed my vision. The water is very clear, the top of the waterfall is not visible so high. The water flowed as if it never ran out. Under the waterfall there is a transparent rock like flat ice that covers a third of the lake. The funds are so clear that the base looks so clear. The colorful fish swam happily, as if greeting me cheerfully. The golden lotus flower flourished luxuriously adorning this lake.
"Welcome to the lake of Eternity, Your Majesty," an old man holding a dragon-carved wood in his right hand, appeared from above the transparent stone bed, approached and saluted me. Once again there are people who recognize me, I am again surprised by this reality.
"Our respect, elders," Edward and Vivian said.
I prepared to salute like Edward and Vivian, but at once the old man tapped on the wooden blade he was holding.
"Your Majesty, you are not allowed to pay respect to anyone, except to His Majesty's family" he said firmly.
I stood there, stopping my movements that were about to pay my respects.
"Your Majesty Princess Aira is an honor in itself, so Your Majesty must obey what I recommend."
I justify my standing position, this old man has a strong charisma. Although old but I feel great power from within him.
"I'm sorry if I made a mistake" I said, looking at the man, who now seemed surprised by what I said.
"Your Majesty can call me Mahanta," he introduced himself.
"Right Your Majesty," Elder Mahanta looked into both of my eyes. "Your Majesty, are you willing to meditate under the waterfall of immortality?"
I was a little surprised by the direct request from the Mahanta Elder, "Why?"
"Your Majesty needs to increase His Majesty's strength before the Moon of Gods comes," he said later, Edward and Vivian looking surprised at the words of the Elder Mahanta.
"Your Majesty was born just as the Moon of the Gods shone with its light, the birth of His Majesty was not only welcomed and known by all the beings of the three empires, but also throughout the entire continent."
I looked into the eyes of Elder Mahanta, his eyes looking at me sharply full of seriousness. "Your Majesty must prepare, train His Majesty's abilities in order to protect himself when the time comes."
"What is the Moon of the Gods? Why should I prepare myself?" I asked the fool, many new things in a short time that entered my brain, have not finished digesting the story of Edward and Vivian, now plus the story from the mouth of the Elder Mahanta.
"Why is there so much new information you're telling me? My family never even told me this, please explain it to me."
The elder Mahanta invited us to sit on a large beautiful wooden chunk. "Your Majesty, the Moon of Gods is a Moon that shines brightly every 17 years, the Moon of Gods is very special because when the Moon of Gods shines, all the powers of pure-spirited beings will rise many times over, the power of pure-spirited beings will increase many times over, instead, dark creatures will lose their power."
The elder Mahanta tightened his grip on the dragon wooden blade in his right hand, "There is an ancient prophecy that says that there will be born an invincible ruler on the Moon of Gods who will bring prosperity to all beings, the Pope said, uniting differences and upholding justice."
Erdward and Vivian were swept away in the story of the Elder Mahanta, I looked at the Elder Mahanta. Did the elder think of me as the embodiment of the prophecy? Geez, it's definitely not me who's this helpless.
"The elder is definitely not me, how can I be a ruler if I have absolutely no ability to protect myself, let alone the crowd?"
I tried to make the Elder Mahanta aware that he was wrong, "even today I still doubt whether I am really the son of father and mother."
At first glance I saw Edward, his gaze looked sad, did I mention him because he had guaranteed that I was my parents' biological child? Even he swore an oath on his life, but I still doubted it, and I felt guilty at once for doubting it. The elder Mahanta looked at me with a different look, I don't know what he was thinking.
"Please follow me so that Your Majesty can get an answer to Your Majesty's question," the eyes of Elder Mahanta were very sharp on me. "Sit down and meditate, the three of us will protect Your Majesty."
Edward and Vivian nodded in agreement with the elder Mahanta. I nodded slowly, I really needed answers to all the questions in my head. Seeing me nod in agreement, Elder Mahanta tapped his dragon blade on the ground, as my body floated to a stop over the transparent rock under the waterfall. "Sit cross-legged Your Majesty, put His Majesty's hands together in front of his chest, close His Majesty's eyes and focus your mind, eliminate all distractions."
I immediately followed the words of Elder Mahanta. Shortly after trying to focus my mind, I felt myself being hit by such a powerful waterfall, but the words of Elder Mahanta kept ringing to focus and eliminate the entire disturbance.
I took a deep breath, focusing my mind to one point until it all blackened. Gradually I saw a point of light that gradually grew like devouring the darkness, and boom! I felt the light penetrate my body, the warmth radiating throughout the body. I don't know why my body feels so light, as if it's floating. Still with my eyes closed, I began to feel a different air. In a very bright light gradually appeared various colors, beautiful but painful, my body seemed to be pulled in various directions, each color collided with each other, attractive pull, even looked almost exploded.
It hurts, I feel my body being pierced by millions of knives at every point. Very painful, hot and painful.
"Hold Your Majesty," the voice of the elder Mahanta reminded.
I clenched my hands together, trying to hold back all I could, but the pain was unbearable. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" I screamed loudly while trying to blend all the colors.
"MOM!"
A loud voice boomed out from my body, making me float in the air. My energy was drained, very weak. Samar saw that all the colors had melded like rainbows, until they all darkened again.
