"Don't let him anger you," Tria got up and came up to Crei," he's not worth it, but I must admit, I really did enjoy that, even I am no longer upset."
"Oh, that's great then," Crei smiled
"Hm..let's get ready, the third price and princess cannot be late now can they?"
"Of course not."
Meanwhile, Ra Ashir was in the worst state, he truly had no luck, he had landed right over a pile of rocks, resulting in many injuries over his bodies, if not a few broken bones. Angry at his stupid daughter and her husband he trotted back to his house, dragging his injured body home. Getting there he barely had any time to rest because he had to get ready for the royal banquet, it was an opportunity that he could not miss, he'll deal with Tria later.
Putting on his fanciest attire, accompanied by his wife and beautiful daughter Nala, he made his way towards the palace, just like many other officials and guests.
The royal gates were crowded with people, and for such an exclusive event, there were more guards than usual, not only to make sure that only invitees go in but to assure the safety of the throne as well as the safety of the priestess.
When Tria and Crei arrived, they had almost been the last ones in. On the way in, she met with her Uncle Aten, and they all went in together. Tria had brought Chukah and Hepri along, as well as Ka'an and Khen, so with such a powerful group, heads turned a full circle to steal a glimpse.
Crei on her right, Lord Aten on her left, Tria was the highlight before the priestess's arrival. She was wearing a long gold silky dress that would turn orange it moved, adding to her skin complexion and her beautiful curls, it would not be an understatement to say that she was the most beautiful woman present. That aside another shocker was by the number of handsome and powerful men she was surrounded by, the people inside the room only knew about the third prince so their curiosity rose through the roof.
Nala who had prepared her best to be the most beautiful was out made by the sister she despised. She was upset, very upset, even the girl following Tria was more beautiful than her, not only beautiful, she seemed extremely strong and confident.
'Who were those people?' she wondered.
Nala wasn't the only person wondering, so was Ra Ashir, and he was wearing in his head that he has seen the person following Tria before, but he could not remember where, and that troubled him.
Chukah felt the intense stare Ra Ashir was giving him, in return he evilly smirked in contempt, showing his row of canine teeth, puzzling Ra even more as well as scaring him as he looked away not daring to look at Chukah any longer.
'That'll teach you,' thought Chukah.
"It is now time to commence, it would seem that everyone is here, and to not beat around the bush, this gathering is, as all of you already know, to welcome the priestess to the Sun Land," announced the emperor.
Everyone in their seat felt their hearts skip a beat, an opportunity of a lifetime was withing reach for them, and they could not wait for the priestess's arrival.
"When will the priestess arrive?" asked an impatient official.

Sorry, I have to add it here, it would not let me post as much in the box.
[I updated it in the front page but failed to mention it here, I no longer update seven days a week. Trust me I understand a daily dose will keep everyone happy but I am super busy these days, new job, more classes this semester, let's not forget 'harder' classes.
Because there will always be unexpected circumstances I will update only 5 times a week, randomly. If I miss one or more, I will make up for it the next day.]
