Emily was silent for a moment when she heard her elder say that, that what she feared had happened. That what she didn't want in her life would happen.
Because after the elder says so, then a ritual will be carried out and prepared according to existing procedures, and no one at all dares to refuse orders from the elders.
Emily was forced to stand up from her seat and then she looked in the direction where Alfred was, Emily bowed slightly to pay respects to her elder who gave such an order. Could not Emily had to do it.
"Thank you, I will give my best!" Emily said forcefully, even though she refused it but she couldn't run from a fate that had been prepared for her.
Maybe this is the time for her to be bound by a destiny that is given to her.
