4 4. Nerve-Wracking

Now the soul is like a bird released from a golden cage. Free, loose, relieved and it can't be expressed in words. Even every breath and every step can not stop decorated with a wide smile.

Everyone who attend to the party was full of laughter, many of them were also feel the atmosphere of love and affection. Everyone seemed to enjoy this event.

"The show is ready to start! Everyone is requested to enter the altar!" Everyone who attend were flocked into the room while holding the couple they had brought with them. Merle is no exception. she was also being held by a boy unwittingly.

"He's a friend, Merle. He's a good kid and would go to the trouble of asking you out to please you!" Merle argued in her heart when she suddenly blushed when she saw so many people expressing their feelings to each other.

Some hugged each other, some were joking shyly, some were dancing and many more who gave each other attention.

"The show will start, everyone will dance," said Jerk excitedly.

"I'll just sit down, Jerk. I can't dance and I never did!" Merle frowned.

The host of the event was holding a welcoming speech and invited the event participants to enjoy the delicious and perfect Valentine's meal and atmosphere, then welcome the next agenda.

Jerk laughed in satisfaction. He also has the intention to show off the beautiful girl he brought to this event is a perfect girl more than any girl he has ever met. He wanted to make all who saw him stunned and implied a question mark seeing him hand in hand with a girl like a princess.

Jerk started whispering to Merle to untie her face cover, she also asked to take off her hood. Merle, who had no inkling of it, obeyed the order. Merle was asked to walk by Jerk to the front from the starting position past all those who had mocked Jerk from the beginning.

Merle's beauty charm hypnotizes all pairs of eyes. Smooth white skin, and a tall, slender body is really ideal, combined with a super beautiful dress with an unusual material, the dress looks expensive and makes many girls present whispering to each other and chuckling in awe. She was indeed a princess, princess Merle Celosia of the great Dhemous kingdom. Of course her skin and beauty is perfectly maintained.

She never did any housework even manual work, no wonder she was so beautiful. Her eyes that was looked wistful because she was embarrassed in front of so many people made her look gentle and polite. Many men glared with their mouths gaping in amazement at her arrival.

"Beautiful Merle, this wood seeker Jerk sincerely says he has fallen in love with you, will you be my partner starting from this event?" Jerk suddenly knelt down and grabbed Merle's hand and kissed the back of it.

Of course this makes people widen their eyes. Jerk, a man who is known to be shabby and unkempt, suddenly proposes to a beautiful girl. Plus he was never seen playing with a girl.

"W-what do you mean? What 'falling in love' means?" Merle was confused by Jerk's behavior.

"Falling in love is two humans giving each other love and attention."

At the same time as the Jerk's words, suddenly a flash of light appeared that was very dazzling, followed by a shrill, ear-splitting whistling sound, causing all who witnessed to close their eyes and hearing aids. They tried to rub their eyes because they wanted to know what was really going on.

Jerk and Merle also gasped at this oddity. A large, dark passage opened directly on the roof of this luxurious place.

"AAAAAAAA!"

Merle was magically dragged into a black alley and everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.

"MERLEEEEE!"

She disappeared, she disappeared somewhere along with the shut of the black passage that was originally be in that place.

****

Merle immediately moved from place to place, to a different country, although still in one dimension and still in one era. Her chest heaved violently, her breath hitched and she trembled in fear at what had just hit her. The incident was so fast and violently pulled her away and was flung violently. The thud on the floor as something was falling from above startled everyone.

"AUGH!!" Merle winced in pain as she felt her bones crumble from being slammed against the hard ground. Thankfully he can still move her legs and arms normally.

She fell right in front of her while there was a crowd of people who were discussing important palace matters, the position of the deliberations was around and their backs to Merle, but Merle glared and her mouth opened with a gasp. She didn't understand what had happened to him just now. Where is she now? She didn't even know what was going on. She throbbed at the state of this unfamiliar place.

" God ! Where am I? Who are all of them?" Merle thought.

Everyone's sharp eyes immediately fell on the girl who suddenly fell down in front of them. The atmosphere in this room was very solemn at first because there was an important meeting being held with about twenty people sitting in an orderly manner in their respective seats. Some then stood up, looked up, glanced because they were surprised to hear and saw the very hard falling object earlier.

"What was it that fell?" someone's voice.

Followed by several soldiers who were alert and running quickly, they came and gathered around pointing their swords at princess Merle in a circle to protect and lock suspicious people in their palace so as not to move and not fight.

The pointed swords were positioned right at Merle's neck, so she didn't dare move an inch. The pointed swords wrapped around the pretty girl's neck. That extremely sharp sword could actually slit her neck if Merle moved even a little.

"HHHH!" Merle took a deep breath and held her breath and her whole body was sweating. She was very frightened faced with a situation like this.

"Look My Majesty! A girl who fell out of nowhere? The ceiling of this palace doesn't have a single hole!" Said one of them.
