For several days Celestial tried to think of what she would paint which would later be displayed at the royal exhibition. An exhibition where all art lovers from many kingdoms would come and see the works created by the artists in the Castelia Kingdom.
News of Celestial participating in the exhibition spread among the nobles. Some of them were in favor of it, feeling amazed that Celestial had the opportunity to do so.
However, many of them also felt that this was too much. They believed that Celestial was chosen to participate in the exhibition because she would become part of the Royal family.
This is not far from political interference, where they are trying to show that the new princess-to-be for their third prince is talented.
Instead, they were worried that Celestial would ruin the exhibition with her uninteresting paintings.
"I'm sure it's just an ordinary painting. Or maybe just a copy of a famous painting that she could have changed a few points on. I'm not sure if someone like her can do that," said one of the nobles who doubted Celestial's skill.
Because it's rare for a noblewoman to have that much skill. They might be able to look very smart and also wise in some ways, but they also spent too much time attending tea parties or attending balls rather than following their hobbies.
However, Celestial used this to prove that she was not who they said she was. She would make them all bow down to her with what she could do at the art exhibition later.
"There's no need to listen to what they say, sister. I know you're a great painter and I'm sure you can do it," said Eleanor who continued to accompany Celestial as she did the sketching process for her painting.
"Thank you. You've supported me so much and accompanied me in this process, I'm really glad you're here," Celestial said so that Eleanor would still be nice to her.
Although she knew there might be something Eleanor was hiding from her, she tried to cover up her suspicions so that Eleanor would not feel suspicious of her either.
Because the suspicion was conveyed by Odette who felt that Eleanor's new servant looked a bit strange.
"Sometimes I see her around your room, Lady Celestial. I don't know what she's doing, but she seems to be sneaking around your bedroom hallway," Odette explained.
Celestial began to be wary of that but she remained calm in response. "Thank you for telling me, Odette."
She only had 8 days before the painting was supposed to be finished. And now she only had 3 days left before she finally gave the painting to Helen. Because 3 days later the exhibition would be held so everything had to be prepared before the exhibition took place.
"I need some new colors for my painting. Can you guys help me find some?" Celestial asked her two older brothers.
They offered to help, and when Celestial said that she needed special colors for her paintings, they immediately went to look for them.
On that day, she completed the sketches to paint on the paper in her book. Together with Eleanor who kept her company, the woman kept looking at the drawing Celestial had made.
It was as if she was studying and memorizing every detail of the drawing.
"That's very pretty, sister. You're very good indeed," Eleanor praised her.
"Thank you."
While she was painting, a servant came to say that a gift had been sent for Celestial.
"A gift? What is it?" she asked curiously and the servant coded a man to bring the gift.
Celestial and Eleanor turned their heads, seeing a flower arrangement that was so beautiful and large in his hand. In fact, it was so big that it covered part of the man's body as well as his face.
She stood up from her seat, looking at the many and beautiful flowers in front of her at the moment. Flowers with a combination of blue, purple and pink, Celestial's favorite.
"These flowers are beautiful. Who sent them for me?"
"I sent them," replied the man carrying the flowers as he lowered them onto the grass, Celestial could see his face which turned out to be Moran.
Her smile widened, she was so happy that her fiancé had come bearing such a beautiful gift.
"Moran!"
"I heard you were going to make a painting for the royal exhibition. That's why I brought you this gift of flowers to encourage you to do so. I will be your big fan and your number one for your painting," said Moran and then took both of Celestial's hands and kissed the back of her hand.
"Thank you very much, I feel happy to have so much support even from you. Thank you very much Moran," she said and leaned against the man's shoulder.
He hugged her tightly, rubbing her head gently feeling her breath on his neck.
"I'm happy if you're happy too. I'm sorry I only came today because I had a lot of things to do. Have you started painting the picture yet?"
"Not yet, I'm waiting for the color paint I ordered and Roxarion is currently picking it up."
Moran smiled when he heard that then he turned to Eleanor who was just staring at them.
She looked at the beautiful bunch of flowers that Moran had given to Celestial. That flower was also her favorite, especially the pink one. However, that flower was only owned by Celestial.
'I want them too.'
"Good afternoon Eleanor, I hope I'm not interrupting your time or Celestial's."
"Good afternoon, prince Moran. You're not disturbing us at all, I'm just happy to see you come to see Celestial," replied Eleanor, who tried to keep her usual friendly smile.
"You're right, I'm here to meet my fiancée and I think I'm going to kidnap her from you," said Moran, who invited Celestial to be alone that afternoon.
The prince wanted to spend his time together with the woman he loved, and he didn't want anyone to interrupt their time. That's why he invited Celestial to go to another place so that they could be alone together.
"Sure, I'll go wherever you take me." She then turned to Odette who was ready and waiting for her orders. "Please bring the book and all my tools as well as this flower to my room. Ask the other servants to help you carry these large flowers," she told her personal maid.
Odette bow and smiled. "I will gladly bring them to your room, Lady Celestial."
The youngest daughter of the Damanor family then left together with Moran to wander around while spending time together. Odette quickly tidied up all of Celestial's drawing tools and took them away along with a bunch of flowers brought by another servant.
Meanwhile, Eleanor was still sitting silently staring at her step-sister's departure along with her fiancé which made Eleanor feel unhappy.
"It seems that Lady Celestial has a lot of people around her. Are you alright Lady Eleanor?" asked Samantha who had been watching the situation.
Eleanor squeezed the gown she was wearing and then looked back at Moran whom she saw from a distance laughing together with Celestial.
No one know what she was thinking at that moment, but Eleanor felt that she would not just stay silent.
