next day there was an uproar in the royal capital of kingdom reptiliance. only nobles were allowed to attend the ball but it was recorded by reporters so the commoners can also know their new princesses and see them along with the other nobles and royal family.
but that wasn't what caused the uproar but a piece of certain news.
at a mansion a person who was sleeping soundly was woken up by loud banging of the door. it repeatedly continued until he got up.
richard qinsley was still sleepy even after waking up as he told the person banging on his bedroom door to enter.
his butler entered looking panicked as if he had seen a ghost or was caught doing something he wasn't supposed to and the royal knights were coming to arrest him.
"my lord its bad!" the butler said panicked as Richard yawned covering his mouth with his hands still sitting in his bed.
"what is? did the royal family found out about our plan or the investigation led to us?" Richard asked not bothered as he thought that nothing wrong can happen.
"my lord everyone in the whole kingdom knows! an arrest warrant for you was also issued after the news came out. the royal guards should be here soon to arrest us" the butler said
when richard heard his butler his remaining sleep vanished and his eyes showed clear disbelief.
"what nonsense are you spouting? how can the whole kingdom know what we were trying to do?" Richard asked
"if my lord done believe me then look at it yourself! its all over the news"
the butler turned the tv on. the news was showing a reporter
[yesterday her highness princess sky mani shadowdragon de reptiliance transformed into her human form at the age of three months! becoming the world's youngest dragon to transform.]
[but there were some problems that almost cost her highness princess sky her life. the power of sacred ritual items and the magic circle were tampered in order to cause harm to her highness princess sky. the final power was even stronger than something a five year old royal dragon cant withstand! luckily her highness princess sky is gifted and blessed by ancient spirits. the ancient spirits sensed the problem and with the help of the link between both the princesses they overcame the problem.]
[the first time in history the ancient spirits guarded a dragon! using the link they pulled her highness princess faes in the ceremony to absorb excess amount of mana! in the end her highness princess sky safely transformed into her human form and got the blessing of the ancient spirits. both the royal princesses are now safe and stronger than before after getting the blessings of ancient spirits]
[this is not all that happened! some higher nobles also tried to stop the ceremony forcefully but were unable to due to the older princess protectiveness over her younger sister. the matter of tampering with the magic circle is being investigated and the current lead is the same nobles who tried to stop the ceremony]
richard saw the news and his legs turned into jelly making him fall on the ground but the news wasn't done yet
[later in the ball they again tried to harm the younger princess by making her feed on chocolates even after knowing that she is only three months old and can only drink milk]
after the reporter said that a video was played where Richard was trying to manipulate sky. it clearly recorded his voice along with emma's and adrian and faes.
though it was slightly edited it mostly showed that richard wanted to harm the princesses while faes was guarding sky along with emma and wont let anything happen to either of them.
[her highness princess faes again came to save princess sky from eating and harming herself. in the ball her highness princess faes also showed that she have many skills and abilities which make her an ideal princess. the nobles who talked to her and saw her are also in an awe of her skills.]
[we the citizens of kingdom reptiliance congratulate both the princesses on safely passing the trials of the ceremony and welcome them whole heartedly into the great kingdom of dragons reptiliance!]
the news continued to show the dance faes did and other pictures of her talking and smiling with the nobles and the royal family before it ended.
"my lord, this news is not only being played on news in kingdom reptiliance but all over the world and everyone is cursing you for trying to harm the princesses!" the butler said
Richard who had seen the news felt all his hope leave his body. he should have never believed those people. he knew that they would cause harm but he still agreed in order to gain more power.
now only they can help him!
richard got up and packed every important item before leaving the place along with his family and group of guards and soldiers under him.
until the time royal guards arrived the whole mansion was vacant as if it haven't been used. the reporters recorded it and the guards also found proof of other crimes richard was doing, it was concluded that richard was a traitor, the people who saw this were cursing richard and praising faes. they all have been suffering at his hands in a way and now that he was gone without any respect left they were all celebrating!
it was all because of both the princesses, they barely arrived in the capital city for a few days and good things began to happen.
....
adrian smiled and shook his head when he saw the news. he should have expected something like this to happen but he was still happy. his sister not only exposed richard but also left no way for him to rise again. her method can easily pass as vicious and deadly.
faes not only have a sharp sweet tongue but a vicious side which she use to keep her kin safe.
adrian felt proud to be her older brother and also knew that now faes would be targeted by the noble boys and girls. adiran smiled, 'no problem until he was there for his sisters! he will make sure both of his sisters are powerful enough to crush each hurdle. if not by force then by other means!'
....
blake sleepily saw the news and grinned.
'now he can tease faes and sky both. specially faes who had been blackmailing him with rose.'
blake had been looking at an opportunity to tease faes without being harmed in return and now he got it. but he was also proud of his sister and felt even more protective of her.
blake vowed he would save his sisters not only from harm but also from these nobles who would try to get advantage of them.
...
the king and queen of kingdom reptiliance saw the news and shook their heads. they didn't knew it was faes who told the reporter to record them so they thought that the media was following faes.
they were proud that their princess took care of Richard and saved sky both of the times but this will only alert his partners and the people who were behind him. if the higher ups behind richard moved then it would be troublesome.
the king sighed as he knew that his workload was only going to increase. though their princesses seem quite and understanding they were no bad than blake in causing trouble and making it to news.
.....
the news was played in the royal palace of kingdom altai leaving the royal family in worry once again. they saw how faes took care of Richard but they also knew that if it was previous faes then she would have been fallen for his trick. they realised that faes might have been behaving naive all this time to get their attention but she failed.
now that faes was free she was behaving however she wants and when the royal family saw and realised this they were filled with guilt and worry once again.
they heard what the news said but they didn't have any idea what the ceremony was like. they only heard that the princesses could have died and their heart sank filled with worry. but they calmed down after watching faes dancing with blake.
the also didn't knew faes could dance much less this well! whenever faes was invited to a ball or party before she either sat with her parents or talked with her brother and sister along with a few nobles who would often try to make her feel inferior. she was never asked to dance before!
the king and queen noticed that faes seem older than what she did a week ago and also her other features have changed but they didn't mind it and blamed the ceremony for it. the changes only made her look more mythical than what she have been a week ago.
alex and nia who have heard about faes from their parents saw her on the news and felt guilty. if they had known before that the way they were treating their sister with was wrong and only causing her to loose her confidence then they would not have done it. now that they saw the new faes in the news they realised they didn't know their blood related sister at all! and now they also didn't knew how to treat her when she comes back! if she comes back!
....
the cause of all the commotion was sleeping soundly in her room. hugging a sleeping sky. they were sleeping soundly and were late making others worry. when their butler guards and maids came in to check on them after not finding them ready and up on time they found the two princesses sleeping cuddling and smiling oblivious to the commotion they caused.
the six people smiled fondly watching the two princesses sleep and then after adjusting the blankets they left the room as quietly as possible to let their princess continue their beauty sleep.
