Chapter 1 - The Legend of the Hara

The villagers looked up the sky as well as the town people in the Aguierra, the capital of Mahar Lika Empire, the strange star dims in the wide skies as it flickers like the fireflies in the night, dancing with its little lamp either giving light or not that caught everyone's eyes. Even the noble houses of lords came to feast the skies in their manor glancing with their noble children sharing at the same sky as them. That star changed the fate of someone's life as the highest priest prophesied it. That star is named Hara, a star only dim at unknown pattern of years but bring good fortune but not to the empty wishes for common people, only the chosen child who is destined to rule the kingdom. That night many children were given birth from different hierarchy of the empire. The exception is that the Hara gives the fate of the Empress who will bring fortune to the next ruler, whoever chooses her in marriage and rule the vast lands of Mahar Lika that unifies the seven kingdoms of Malad Tiha, Dulum, Pinath Yanai, Kalam Buan, Hinon Dan, Dangoi Nguy and Kyna Gora as well as the 12 countries composed of high lords- Suli, Gium, Boirra, Gi-u, Dut-El, Sika Gila, Haron, Kara, Najo, Gayo, Danwa and Togon Peninsula. It was a divine prophecy that was ignored for years.

All of the slaves rushed in the Itaman, the high lord of Suli's daughter room as they going to prepare to dress their miss to present the High Messenger from Aguierra Capital. They paused for a while as they witnessed their grand lady, skilfully weave her another masterpiece silently gives off the vibe of femininity as she beautifully and carefully hold the threads. Knowing beforehand that her slaves are audacious enough to interrupt her past time, she looked at them as if she tried to extract the sole reason of gathering them around in her room. The slaves bowed to the earth before her and Elanga, her trusted slave speaks towards her.

"Apology of our sudden intrusion Bae Maylin, but the high lord commanded us to make you presentable before the grand messenger of Aguierra," as she signalled her fellow slaves to bring the garments for their miss. Some bring a box of gold and pearl trinkets and some powder. They carefully place them before the Bae as she assessed the goods.

She cooperated while thinking of how she could exempt herself from the selection of Kasa Buya festival, tying other family households in the capital of Agueirra. Their treasury is surely filled, Bae Maylin thought as the barter of the Silks in the Porcelain country come and go to trade goods with them and they are the main exporter of foreign goods in the capital. Blessed with good sea and wind sails, most of the traders all around the world would have their stop at their province Naya port. The province of Kara would be blessed much but as the eldest daughter of the High lord of Suli province it will be her wilful duty to attend and geared to be selected in the Kasa Buya festival, where maidens will show off their skills must be chosen by the heirs of either the 7 kingdoms or the noble province heirs. 

Even it was a burden to prepare panubok embroidery, listening and reading epics of their province as well as the empire or practice the proper code of a well distinguish Bae, she still complied without single complain just to please her father. She was just lucky enough that her father didn't make her a binukot, a sealed maiden not exposed to the village all her life unless she will be ready for the Kasa Buya like the practice of the Gayo province.
