"Hey Celestina, are you okay?"
"Huh?" I look at them taking my eyes off the stage, where the royal family and some high-ranking officers are sitting.
"Nothing" She sighed and looked at the stage again. I shrugged my shoulders and look at the stage to focus on the event.
We clapped in unison after Lianno's Parents are done giving their speech. I felt in awe as I listen earlier, I heard their plans throughout the month, all I can say is that they are really aiming for the best in this city.
I do think that they don't really need improvement because their city is really the best that I've ever seen so far. The tall buildings that can be seen here are much more enormous than what I used to see. And the trees and green fields that I rarely see is can be seen here every time.
Minutes later, the servers are starting to come in, bringing plates filled with food. They are wearing a maroon suit partnered with a golden mask to hide their face.
They served the appetizer first, smoked salmon bites and shrimp with chorizo in roasted pepper soup.
I took a bite and the smoked salmon bites just melt in my mouth. I tried the shrimp and chorizo next, And my taste buds explode because of its taste.
"This tastes so good" I complimented the dish.
"Glad you like it" Jea answered me with a smile in her face, they're both finished now and just waiting for the main dish to arrive.
"I'm starving," Isabela said at us
"We just ate, Isabela" I laughed at her. She plastered a sad face and touch her face like tears are rolling down on her eyes.
"Do you have a snake in your stomach?" I exaggerated and laugh at her when she glared at me.
"Celestina" Jea leaned closer at my direction and whispered in my ear.
"Hmm?" I hummed. I looked at her and move my chair closer to her direction.
"Did you finish the shrimp one?" I nodded at her question, and look at the finished food in my plate
She smirked at my answer and wiggled her eyebrows at me
"What do you think about it?" She asked me weirdly again, plastering an 'I know that it will not be good' smile on her face. I somehow feel that this will not turn into good, but I answered her question though.
"It's my favorite" I answered back at her disregarding all the doubts forming in my head.
Her smirk grew bigger after I said those words. I took the glass of water in front of me and drink it.
"That's the prince's favorite" I chocked on my water. Jea joined me in and pats my back. Isabela hurriedly handed me in her water, I drank it and got relieved when my heavy coughing ended.
I glared at Jea, but got flustered at my own thought, why am I affected by her words. I shouldn't be affected this way, this is bad… I'm doomed.
"Sorry," I heard Jea said.
"It's fine" I smiled at her, the food arrived at the right time. Steaks and lobsters are the main dishes.
"Yes!" Isabela shouted. Thank god we are the only person who heard it, that's so embarrassing. Isabela starts eating before we can even speak to her.
We heard a loud burp, Jea and I look at each other with widened eyes. We slowly looked at Isabela who is slowly looking away at us. Her cheeks are in pure red, her palms are covering her mouth.
I shook my head and continue eating my food. I look at the stage, the maids are well serving them. The high ranking officers are plastering a stoic look on their faces while Lianno is still emotionless. Only Lianno's parents and his sister are smiling widely.
Hmm… I'm quite curious, What is the important thing that they will say later? I'm looking at Lianno while eating the last bits of my food. I almost choke on my food when I saw him looking at my direction too as well.
"Are you okay?" I cut off my stare in Lianno and look at Jea's direction instead.
"Huh?" I asked her, confused.
"Are you okay>" She repeated her question. It took me minutes before finally realizing what is she saying.
"Why wouldn't I be?" I awkwardly laugh after that. It must be the almost choking on my food, she must have heard it.
After eating the MC asks us to stand up, so we are all obliged to do it. We looked at the stage. All of them are now standing up gracefully while Lianno's Dad is still sitting.
"I sincerely thank you all for coming in here, but as I stated earlier, we have an important announcement to make." Lianno's mother announced at us with a huge smile plastered on her face.
"But first of all, let us all welcome! Princess Mary Wallace, the princess of Reino de las Hadas!" We delightfully welcome her. Huge smiles on our faces as our hands are clapping loudly.
We moved our heads at the main entrance when it starts to make an opening sound. The two humungous doors are opened, showing us a beautiful maiden wearing an Elegant light pink Off Shoulder Long Sleeve A-Line Tulle Dress.
Her milky white skin fits perfectly with the dress she's wearing. Her Ocean hair is in a messy bun, showing off little strands of hair on her face. A flower crown is placed on top. I don't think she puts on a lot of makeup. Her pink glossy lips and her cat eyes give her an innocent look.
She is exhibiting a wide smile as she walks slowly towards the stage. We bowed at her to show some respect as she walks across in our direction. The high ranking officers bowed at her too when she finally arrived at the stage.
"Thank you for coming in here," Lianno's mom said at her.
"It's my pleasure, Queen Carolina" She bowed, her voice is so sweet and gentle.
Lianno's mom looked at her husband lovingly after. She asks Lianno to come forward in their direction before announcing a big news that made a great impact in my mind.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are announcing the engagement of my son, your dearest Prince Lianno and Mary, the princess of Reino de las Hadas!"
