Vivian and Estelle are having their tea time in their room when suddenly the elder smiled.
"Estelle~ my dear younger sister~"
Vivian adorably calling out her sister, but Estelle just look at her in disgust.
"No"
She said.
"I haven't said anything though..."
Vivian replied.
"You want to join the celebration that the Empress prepared, isn't it? So, my answer is no"
Estelle said.
"So cold. Your one and only sister just wanted to see with you the famous concerts and festivals of the Eastern Empire that they are so proud of"
Vivian commented.
"What bullshit are you saying?"
Estelle asked.
"No scheming this time! Promise! I just wanted to have fun with you once in awhile"
Vivian said and genuinely smiled.
"You... for real?"
Estelle asked to confirm it. Vivian is known as the most talented, all-knowing, and a workaholic. The word fun to her is executing her duties as the leader of the Posse of the Unknown, not those petty festivals.
"I promise. No scheming this time"
She replied and Estelle believed it for the meantime.
The two sisters went to the celebration prepared by the Empress. It was filled with different food, energetic music, and colorful decorations.
"Wow! This is the first time seeing such beautiful scene!"
Vivian exclaimed with her eyes glimmer at the vibrant scene in front of her. This convinced Estelle that her older sister just really wanted to have fun and time with her.
They eat different variety of food from different empires as this is the celebration of the entire Eastern Empire for the upcoming marriage of Emperor Nicolaus and soon-to-be Empress Camilla.
"Essie, let's go over there! It seems like there will be a parade"
Vivian said as they walk hand in hand.
"It is not a parade, Vivi..."
Estelle worriedly said when she saw the glamorous and long runway.
As soon as she sighed, multiple ladies in different gowns started to walk gracefully. The wedding dresses were all exhibiting elegance, purity, and authority.
"I knew it"
Estelle thought and sighed when she looked at the not so distance viranda where Emperor Nicolaus and Empress Camilla are watching the fashion show.
"I want to wear something like that..."
Vivian murmured and awkwardly laugh when she saw her sister's shocked face.
"Um... what I mean is when I got married. Yes. I f I will get married someday..."
"You don't need to wait for that long. Vivi, I've got an idea"
Estelle casts a spell on the last two models. It is a spell for them to have a sever stomachache for an hour. This made the designer panicked because the last two models will show her greatest designs.
"What should I do?"
Thea, the designer, said as she is stressing out.
"Um... excuse me..."
Estelle spoke and when the designer looked at her and Vivian, her eyes shined again. Since they are not wearing their bandages, their natural and erhereal beauty was seen.
"Hair and makeup team, make these two as beautiful as the goddesses!"
She happily commanded and the two was about to get a make-over.
"W-Wait a minute! The other model is already fine. See?"
Estelle hurriedly said as she is not planning to walk in the runway. She just wanted stir a little commotion so she also involved the other model but she planned to let her get better when the designer decided to let Vivian walk in the runway.
"Non, my dear mademoiselle. You and you are the perfect creation I have ever seen"
Thea said as she pointed Estelle and Vivian.
"Hurry up! We must not waste the time!"
She exclaimed and everyone hurriedly dress up and put make-up on the two ladies.
"Parfaite! Parfaite!"
The designer exclaimed when two ladies got their total make-over.
"You two exudes the aura of a royalty. Parfaite!"
She exclaimed and true to her words, they are indeed look like a royalty. Vivian is wearing the white wedding dress with thousand of diamonds embroidered on it, matching with emerald jewelries. While, Estelle is wearing the white wedding dress with gold layerings made of real gold and small rubies at the hem of the dress, matching with simple silver pearls. The two sisters look ethereal that they cannot take away their eyes from them.
"This is...so embarassing"
Vivian said while holding tightly her sister's shaking hand.
"I should have not said that..."
She added as she tried to calm down Estelle who seems like she is having a nervous breakdown.
"Essie, we can stop this now. You are already shaking. Besides, I already wore this beautiful dress and I am already satisfied..."
Vivian worriedly said but Estelle just shook her head.
"It is already your turn"
Thea said to Vivian who is still holding her sister's hand.
"Vivi, go now"
Estelle calmly said and let go of her sister's hand.
"When you walk, do not look down and always straighten your back. Walk and smile confidently but with elegance. Understand?"
Thea worriedly instructed as she do not know if Vivian can pull off the walk.
"Alright"
Vivian stiffly answered and when it is time for her to walk, as if it is a memory of an unknown took over her and her muscle memory remembered a strict training that she had never been through.
"Woah~!"
The crowd exclaimed when she appeared in the runway.
She walked and smiled confidently and with elegance despite wearing a 4-inches stilleto. It is as if she has been wearing it since she was born.
"What is this? Why do I know these things?"
Vivian thought as she herself got confused. As soon as she made a u-turn, she heard someone shouted her name, so she looked back elegantly.
"So beautiful!"
The crowd exclaimed and she did not expect that comment that she tried to hide her shyness and continued to walk.
"You did great, mademoiselle!"
Thea said when Vivian finished her walk.
"So beautiful!"
Estelle shouted, teasing her sister.
"Y-You are fine... then, why are you--"
Vivian cannot believe that her sister deceived her that she is having a nervous breakdown.
"Because I am excited"
Estelle replied with a confident smile.
"You know me. The more they challenged me, the more I become confident"
She added and got herself ready.
"Hey... you are not entering a battlefield"
Thea commented and got more worried with Estelle.
"Yes, it is"
She replied and jump on her 4-inches stilleto and landed perfectly.
"This is a nice stilleto"
Estelle commented and entered the runway while Thea suddenly look so pale.
"I'm doomed"
Thea murmured but she got surprised.
Estelle confidently pulled off the wedding dress as if she is the perfect royal bride. Aside from her ethereal beauty, her attitude in the runway fits perfectly on her wedding dress which depicts purity, confidence, and elegance.
"Who is she? She looks like a goddess who came down from the heavens"
When Estelle heard this from the crowd, she slightly smiled and stopped at the center of the runway and closed her eyes.
"Come forth"
As soon as she said this, the skies darken and thousands of arrows are flying from the sky.
"Be honored for I am going to play with you, damn Northeners!"
Estelle exclaimed as she opened her eyes full of killing intent and activated a large scale of a black veil that melted the thousand arrows to protect the citizens.
"Immediately leave this place if you want to live!"
She shouted and the crowd started to panicked while she get her daggers and used one of them to cut the gown.
"Estelle, what is happening? How did you know the ambush?"
Vivian worriedly asked as she handed her bandages.
"Hunch"
Estelle said with a smile when she suddenly felt danger and an arrow almost strike her. Fortunately, she dodged it but she still got a cut on her cheek.
