Chapter 6: Empress tea party

I was invited to the empress tea party. I'm anxious. I'm a little uncomfortable. I know she will introduce us,the fiance candidate for the crown prince. and I've got the chance to see my favorite character . I hope we can become good friends.

I'm so happy...

but when I arrived... They stared at me.

They look at me from my hair to my toes. Well, I'm so proud that I'm well groom , every day.

You can tell an upper class when he's/she's someone well groom. Smell rich and walk classy. I won't let them ruin my mood. I wear one of the famous luxurious designer dress. Only the real wealthy can afford. from my jewelry to my shoes. It's undeniably pricey.

I sat on one of the vacant seat that I first saw.

"I'm glad you're already here... now we're complete.. ladies. This is the fourth candidate Lily Victoria. tho she belong to a baron family but they're family is wealthy. "

I just found out that I'm the last person to arrived.... I feel a bit of ashamed. tho I know I exactly arrived at the right time.

" Good day ladies! Im Lily Victoria, Baron's Victoria grand daughter. " I just introduce myself again.

I saw promise love and she's also staring at me. I just caught everyone attention again.

"She's the famous promise love, lady lily. The lovable daughter of duke Nirvanah. She's Sofia, Daughter of Duke Westlife and The girl next to you is Rheana , The daughter of Marquess Laurent . They are your Rival at the same time you must practice to get along to each because that's one the criteria. You should study hard and competitive enough so that the crown prince will choose you. As you'll know the crown prince is meticulous and got a high standard for choosing a wife " the empress said...

She's too beautiful, I can't help but admire her beauty.

"Maybe the crown prince likes a girl who is like you, your Majesty" I blurted out of the blue...

the sorrounding became quiet

" Oh... I apologized your Majesty. if I said something wrong. I hope you will forgive me" I said.

and I heard them chuckling...

"No no... it's fine. I should be your role model. Coz I was known for being the most beautiful woman in my prime . " "

"her Majesty is right... Many boys was rejected when she's still not married. Anyway I'm countess Cyprus... Nice to meet you young ladies"

"Indeed... look at her daughter... She has an angel like beauty ... I guess many men want her too... I'm duchess Simeon nice to meet you all. "

I've just noticed that her majesty's daughter is also here. She's really beautiful as well .

"Well, well, personality should come first and then beauty. " She's Viscountess Rayven. famous for being a sociolite and classy noble. despite being a low class noble they are one of the richest in the empire.

"I agree... Lady Rayven. Personality comes first second is beauty third is skills and last talent. " She's duchess Castelio. A royal duchess...

" ehem! my opinion is Different duchess Castelio. She must be knowledgeable and skilled enough to hold an entire empire as she will the become the mother of the land. I don't care if if she's pretty or not. As long as she's brilliant and have a little of emphaty. Then I'm good with that. " She's countess Vaughn She looks strict.And she really cares about proper etiquettes She's also known as knowledgeable person.

" I agree... but I think these candidates are already competent to face the trials. " The empress said...

"Yeah ... Anyway how old are you... Lady Lily?" Duchess Castelio ask .

"15? "

their faces look shock when they heard it.

"what's wrong?" I asked

"No... I thought you're 16 or 17... We supposed to choose someone who is in legal age at the moment " The empress said.

I was shocked as well at the same time happy. maybe I could have an excuse to back out on this competition.

"Well, we could postpone this competition and let's wait for her to be legal next year. But we should teach you first the basics of becoming an empress and after that I will let you go home... " The empress said.

"You will be left behind for the meantime lady lily" Viscountess Rayven said

" Actually, I don't mind. I guess lady Promise love, Lady Sofia and lady Rheana are the best candidates so I can exclude myself " I said.

" No no you're wrong. We should have at least five candidates instead coz the more the merrier, right your Majesty?" Duchess Castelio said.

"yes yes that's better. at the end of the day my son holds the power. " the empress said

I excuse myself and went to the powder room...

promise love also went to the powder room... my heart can't stop beating on its own.
