Rosa came out of her room, when the Commander asked her to come out and said that the time for the ceremony was about to start. Rosa's face looks very fresh and smiling loosely since earlier.
The commander who saw that also smiled a little, feeling happy that his future Queen looked better than yesterday.
Their footsteps had already entered the royal hall, all the council elders and important officials came to see the appointment ceremony.
Rosa glanced at her mother's eyes and saw that her mother was already smiling warmly, that's when Rosa lost her own consciousness. Rosa felt like in another world, for the first time she saw a genuine smile from her mother. Drakon really kept his word, he said that her mother Madeleine would smile at Rosa. It was an early sign that her mother would accept Rosa as her daughter.
Rosa was already sitting on the throne, the Commander stood faithfully beside Rosa. Rosa was silent for a moment, watching everyone who had sat in their respective chairs.
Soon the applause made everyone silent, the atmosphere became so quiet.
The commander took a step forward, then opened the sheet of paper that was taken from under his robe.
Rosa just pays attention, enjoying every second of the situation. Once again Rosa looked at her mother, and at that moment her mother looked at Rosa and smiled. Rosa's heart was really happy. Have you ever had a moment like this? when you are considered a child by your own mother, when you are a dozen years old hope for love and a warm smile and now you have it, Rosa wants to cry because she is so happy. But Rosa couldn't, Rosa had to look strong for a while.
"I am the Commander of the Centaurus kingdom, today opening the appointment ceremony for our future Queen. Rosa Centifolia from the Centaurus kingdom, to receive the royal throne as written in the will. The things that are needed and the customary norms are available. The traditional elders will do it, as ordered." After the Commander-in-Chief gave such an announcement, the sound of trumpets sounded loudly outside the kingdom.
The Cloth Cover which was behind the window of the Hall opened, the sound of the wings of birds flying was heard. Like welcoming good things to happen.
The traditional elder came forward to Rosa, a middle-aged man who was very old. His eyes no longer saw and his body was bent. Rosa got up from her seat and greeted the arrival of the traditional elder holding Rosa's hand and immediately slashing Rosa's finger. Until a drop of fresh blood comes out, put the blood on a wooden bowl.
Rosa just kept quiet and grimaced a little because of the sudden cut. Then two bodyguards came carrying bronze in the shape of an inverted triangle, on it a small fire lit.
The two bodyguards walked in front of us and looked down, their hands raised to reveal a fire that had suddenly grown twice its original state. Rosa was a little surprised, because she had only seen the fire from this close. The strange thing was that the fire didn't feel hot near Rosa. It even seemed cool, it made Rosa smile.
The elder put Rosa's blood into the blazing fire, the flames immediately turned a bluish green color. It was then that the voices of everyone mumbled.
Rosa didn't understand why they were suddenly noisy, Rosa looked at the face of the Elder. Before long the elder looked at Rosa and raised his hand. without further ado the elder groped Rosa's face.
Rosa slightly backed her face, but her body was being held by the commander so as not to retreat.
"You are destined to be a Queen who reigns for a very long time. The welfare of your people is in your hands, but apparently you cannot accept this throne now. Your heart does not believe and the ancestors refuse To give all their power to you." Rosa did not understand what the Elder was saying, Rosa looked at the Commander and asked through her eyes.
"Rosa, you are a beautiful woman who will make the men of this world fight for you. But you gave your heart to the wrong man, a man who will betray your heart. I don't know how your love story ends. But what I see, there is a lot of happiness that awaits, after sorrow." The elder said again, and Rosa again did not understand. The Commander does not want to explain, the Commander is like waiting for the Elder to finish speaking.
After the elder held my face, he then took my hand again and gripped it tightly. "Your ancestors gave all their love to you, and left you to choose." The Elder said quietly at the end of his sentence.
"As you can see, that the future Queen Rosa has not fully given her life to the Centaurus kingdom, the green fire signifies the rejection from her deepest heart. The elders have also predicted her future. But we will return everything to the elders and also Rosa as the heir to the throne itself." The commander announced the situation, Rosa, who just knew the meaning of the green fire, finally started to understand a little.
So the rejection from her heart can be seen clearly? Even though Rosa hasn't announced anything in this regard, it turns out that what Drakon said was true. Rosa only needs to reject everything in her heart, and say it after being asked by the elder.
"Princess Rosa, so what do you want from this kingdom? If you don't want to occupy the throne, then who will occupy the throne for the time being? The seat of the kingdom cannot be vacant, if it becomes empty. Then there will be a big war for it." The elder asked Rosa gently, Rosa who was asked like that immediately looked at Drakon and her mother.
They nodded their heads, indicating that Rosa should choose them both as temporary King and Queen.
Rosa sighed softly, then with full courage Rosa looked at everyone present in the hall. Rosa smiled at them and gave a look of confidence.
