At this moment,when everyone has arrived and bursting with anticipation. The Third Princess , Esmaray Moonshail arrived in the hall. The crowd fell silent as everyone watched the arrival of the princess with breathe held.
Esmaray Moonshail,the third princess of Dreamland city was clad in a white long cloak which dragged behind her as she came forward. The embedded emeralds gems and rubies shone like a lush red flower amidst the green leaves.
The embedded gemstones on the cloak were not for the displayed design but it also acted as Armor and offence in the need.The cloak was personally made the the two elder Princesses for the third princess by using their own elements.
The girl's silver smooth hair flowed freely with the soft breeze, her jade fair face shone with glow. Those small yet full lips exhibited allure as they shone like fresh red cherries. What seemed deathly captivating were those azure coloured siren like eyes, they surged akin to a storm of unsaid Stories and Mysteries. They could possibly engulf souls within them.
In middle of the girls neck was emblem of a white lotus, which brightly shone with white radiance. The Third princess was an air element.
The princess slowly but gracefully walked to the middle of hall and elegantly bent down to bow towards the Degree of Royals,then towards the Source of Balance .
"Esmaray Moonshail greets the Degree Of Royals. Greetings to the Source Of Balance and all our countrymen.I,the third princess of Dreamland city,am grateful for your presence in the celebration. Wishing everyone a wonderful evening ahead."
Esmaray Moonshail greeted with her arm over each other, forming a ring,while she faced the crowed in all four direction with her arms raised in circle and head slightly bowed down.
As the greet ended, flowers rained over the crowd with wonders of colours and soul stirring scent. The rain was orchestrated by the second princess in form of the crowds acknowledgement for the third princess's greeting earlier.
Esmaray Moonshail averted her eyes before giving her second sister a grateful smile then turned to give her first sister a same smile to which both responded warmly to.
After the greet, the crowd witnessed the princess as she took her oath of peity by chanting the hymns following the sage, both surrounding the fire oblation. Then, everyone was to sacrifice their grains in fire as their blessings. This marked the end of the ritual itself.
Now, was the time where the real celebration started. Some performed a piece of dance,while some played instruments and some sang .
Right after the opera performance ended, A monarch from a neighbouring country stood up with a wine cup in his hand.
"I, the emperor of Dragon Land represent the city to greet the Degree of Royals. This king is honoured to be invited the Third Princess's returning celebration. However, i would like to take this opportunity to propose a marriage alliance between the two lands by marrying The heir of Dragon Land, Kris and The First Princess, Diana Moonshail together."
The court fell silent at the turn of sudden events. Though this was not the first time,such marriage alliance had been proposed amidst the celebration, this case was exactly not just that.
Marrying the first princess will indirectly mean that the city will sooner or later be taken over by the Dragon city. The Dreamland was one of the most prosperous land out of all the other kingdoms, and it's advantageous topography made the security forces and military convenient too.
Being the closest city to the Sea of Wonders, the land brimmed with riches and sustainable development all year round. The mountain and the sea were great sources of livelihood and irrigation.
Proposing for the first princess to be married in another land, wouldn't that mean ,the other party could have all these resources for themselves.What a sly plan.
"King Victor, I,the emperor appreciate the favour you have extended to us and the first princess. However,We the Royals of Dreamland generally let the person in question take the decision of their lives.We will have to ask Princess Diana whether she wants this marriage or not ."
King Helion Moonshail answered back calmly with a smile plastered on his face.It was clear that this scheme was nothing more than a mere play in his eyes.
The crowd turned to look at the right side of the king,towards the seat where the first princess sat.
"Replying to father,the king. This Princess do not have plans for marriage this early and do not wish to get married for the time being."
The princess stood up to bow slightly towards the king while she answered with a melodious voice. For a while, everyone fell in trance. The girl's voice truly did magics, a few sentences were enough for the crowd to forget their presence and drown in it.
"King Victor, let us not interfere with the children's matters. We shall discuss about it later in the coming future."
King Helion Moonshail chortled away with a perfuctionary reply,clearly to lazy to entertain the other party any further.
His words seemed to have pulled the crowd back out of their dazed states.They looked around and finally concurred with the king's words after a long while.
The king was rendered exasperated at this.
Sigh!
This lack of interest from his subjects was saddening yet he couldn't complain either.
The king shot an annoyed glance at his elder daughter.
Could she not speak normally, what's with this butterfly effect.
Look,now. He the king was given such dry treatment.
Princess Diana nonchalantly shrugged meeting her father's glare.
Haha!
She just couldn't help it.
"Today at this joyous occasion of my return. Allow me to perform a piece to express my gratitude towards all the individuals present in the hall."
Third princess Esmaray, stood up from her seat,which was just besides the second princess to request the king for permission. Her actions clearly were meant to help out the first princess out of the awkward predicament.
