Dinner...
I came to the palace dining room wearing a sleeveless black dress. But I outsmarted it by using a shawl so as not to be too glaring. After all I have to maintain courtesy in the land of people. Especially working here. So even though the dress is not sleeved, but it can still be covered with her shawl. As a result I became confident.
Tonight I put on a minimalist make-up as usual. It's just that I curled my hair neatly and I used Cloud's butterfly-given clasp. While the accessories I wear are still from the two princes. I didn't take it off at all. I appreciate their giving by wearing them. And now I'm being hosted by the palace's servants.
"Please Miss."
I saw the king and queen sitting in their seats. But his daughter has not come yet. We talked for a while while waiting for Rose to come. And how surprised I was when he came with someone I knew. He was Xi, the crown prince of the kingdom of Arthemis.
Him again.
"Good night, Your Majesty." Xi came and saluted the king and queen of the land. Rose was seen holding her hand.
It seemed like the prince that Princess Rose liked was prince Xi.
Rose told me she likes a prince. And I think that meant Xi. Rose shamelessly showed her interest in Xi. I don't know why. But it may have something to do with her being asked to get married soon. I don't know, I'll sit idly by if I'm not asked.
"Please Prince Xi." The king invited him to sit down.
Xi and Rose sat down side by side. I sat across from Xi. It seemed like he had indeed deliberately taken a seat opposite me. Which makes me wonder, what does that mean? This large dining table also seems to be a witness among us who will soon start dinner. The servants came back and served.
He was always wherever I was.
Some of the waiters poured us wine. Looks like this dinner is a very formal dinner. Everyone is wearing royal uniforms.
"You look good." The Queen praised her daughter and Xi.
I swallowed it too. The queen is too aggressive. He expressed his desire to marry his daughter immediately. I'm worried Xi's thinking all sorts of things.
"Thank you, Mother." Rose smiled at her mother.
Xi quiet. He was silent in front of Rose and her family. Not like when I was with me. He picked up the appetizer tonight and glanced at me. He used to watch me when I wasn't watching him.
"It feels good that there are two countries present at this dining table. Prince Xi, have you met Miss Ara?" The king opened the conversation.
"Already, Dad. I introduced him." Rose answered it.
King nodded. "good. Then let's improve relations between countries for a brighter future. Let's toast." The king raised his wine glass.
I also raised my wine glass. I smiled at the king and queen and immediately took a sip of this red wine. And it feels like my tongue is burning. But I just kept quiet and tried to smile as naturally as possible.
Oh my God .. It feels so weird.
Honestly, I like grapes, but not the drinks. I also don't know why, maybe because I prefer natural, I like only the fruit. The wine tasted more wry, sipping and burning the tongue. My face romance changed instantly. And it seems Xi is aware of it. I saw him laughing as he lowered his gaze from me.
He laughed at me apparently.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty. The main dish is ready to be served." Suddenly a servant came and informed the king.
"Bring it here" the king asked his servant.
"Okay, Your Majesty." The waiter left and returned to bring us the main course for dinner tonight.
Xi. From across the street he kept watching me. I myself began to groggy because of being noticed by him. In front of Rose she dared to look at other women. Rose clearly showed interest. But he secretly stole my eyes from me.
"Please, Miss." The waiters came and served us seafood. I was also served sweet spicy crab by them.
"Thank you." I see this sweet spicy crab is appetizing. But I cannot eat it until the king begins.
"Miss Ara, how's the job going?" ask the queen.
"Ehem." When I cleared my throat. "Until this moment is nearing its end, Your Majesty. Tomorrow can be pursued to completion." I'm convincing.
Queen nodded. "Good then. Space would be proud to have you." The queen smiled at me.
"Thank you Your Majesty. It is an honor for me to be praised by His Majesty." I also put my right hand on my chest.
Formal attitude of course I have to do when dealing with the ruler of this country. As I read from Mr. Shane's book at the time. The way of getting along among the nobles is indeed very troublesome. All-round raw, formal, and even almost can not bring up jokes. A little wrong can be punished.
Thank goodness the queen is happy with my performance.
So the king invited us to eat dinner soon. I smiled as I took a fork and knife to cut through the sweet spicy crab that had been served. But ... Something suddenly happened.
My head ....
Just about to split this crab with a knife and fork, my head felt dizzy. It was like I was entering my own subconscious. I saw a bluish-green light rapidly spinning in my vision. I saw the same crab on the table. However, I saw a woman in a white dress eating it. Soon I saw him fall and lay in his room. I saw lara and the queen at the same time. They're in the woman's room.
"Arrgh .. my head ...."
"Miss, are you okay?" Suddenly I felt my body being held back by someone. As much as possible I restore this consciousness.
"Prince ... Xi?" I saw Xi was the one holding me back from falling.
"Geez, quickly call the healer!" I heard the queen yelling at the waiter.
"Okay, Your Majesty!" They also called the physician.
I don't know why, but surely my strength has begun to recover. Soon my eyes were blurred. It seems I will be unconscious.
Oh my God, what is this sign?
My breathing rate is starting to slow down. I can no longer open my eyes. Until I finally let go of what was going to happen. My body is weak and not powered. And after that, I don't remember anything anymore.
