DINNER WITH THE GUEST

"Isabela, what is happening?" I asked her when I noticed that everyone seems to be busy. 

Almost everyone is cleaning or walking around the place in a panic. It's early in the morning, just around 10 am. I looked at the stair, is getting wiped, non stop until it shines like a diamond.

"Oh, they made an announcement last night about the arrival of the Queen and the King's of Reino De las Hadas" Isabela answered.

I nodded, so that's why everyone seems busy. We headed back to the room, while my eyes are roaming around, side to side. Jea is asked to help in the kitchen, that's what Isabela told me earlier when I asked her about where is Jea.

I am invited to dinner later, maybe it's the one they're talking about. I will meet Mary's dad and mom then. I am thinking if I'll go later and join the dinner or not since I don't know what are they going to talk about. But then it's quiet going to be disrespectful since Queen Carolina personally informed me about it.

"What do you want to do?" Isabela asked me when we finally are inside the room. 

I lay down on my bed, tired from walking. We went to the garden, then to the library to return the books that we borrowed last time, then we went to the kitchen to eat some breakfast and finally we returned here.

My eyes roamed around the room because of that, what should I do then? I asked myself. When an Idea crossed my mind, I instantly smiled. I see them doing this sometimes, especially when they are staying in my room without doing anything. 

"The one you both doing when you two are staying here" I informed her, smiling.

Her eyebrows knitted together as she looks at me weirdly. Pft, I forgot they are doing different things every day. She looks confused while thinking about it.

I copied their actions, placing both of my hands on the same level, in front of me. I moved my hands like there is a piece of chopstick on both of my palms, mixing a sauce on already cooked noodles. 

She laughs at what I'm doing. Due to the embarrassment I stopped what I'm doing and pouted. Because she's laughing non-stop I had to wait for several minutes in order for her laughter to stop.

"You're so funny, Celestina," She told me, wiping the tears forming in her eyes. 

*Ahem

She cleared her throat, trying hard to surpass a laughter forming. I waited for several more minutes to hear her answer.

"You want to knit?" I nodded at her question. 

She raised her right palm as a sign of a wait, I nodded because of that. She left the room, coming back with a wooden box in her hand. She placed it on the floor, revealing the inside of it.

Different colors of wool yarns are paced in an organized manner, long eyeless knitting needles are properly kept in a transparent cylinder container. She took those and positioned it on the floor.

"What color do you want?"

I look at the different colors of wool yarn on the floor. Having a hard time choosing, I took the black colored one since the color is easy to match, and since it's my favorite as well. 

She taught me the steps on how to properly execute it. I'm getting really impatient earlier since it will end up being knotted, then I had to repeat it all over again. 

"Look!" I shouted in excitement when it's not getting knotted now. I sighed in relief as I look at what I have done now.

"You're getting better now" She smiled proudly at me. Clapping her hands to support me.

I smiled as well before leaving my eyes and continuing to work on this. I am planning on creating something that I will surely be proud of.

"Celestina, the dress that you'll be wearing has already arrived" Jea informed me when she went to my room.

The dinner will be happening in 2 hours so I had to move now. I looked in the mirror when I'm finally finished. The off-shoulder sweetheart neckline tulle, light blue long evening dress that I'm wearing is pleasing to my eyes. 

Golden butterflies are placed on the bottom part of the dress creating a gradient effect. The dress is gorgeous. A white belt is hugging my waist that complements the actual shape of the dress.

We left the room and went to the dining hall. Lianno's parents, Queen Carolina and King Lucian together with Princess Lucy are now sitting. As a sign of respect, I greeted them with a deep bow, earning a smile from the Queen, while Princess Lucy just took a glance over my direction.

I am curious because Lianno is nowhere to be seen, thinking that he is just going to be late the speaker suddenly announced the arrival of the expected guest. We stood up from our seat, I'm getting nervous because Lianno is still missing from attendance,

"King Yzaak and Queen Merideth has arrived" 

The speaker announced, revealing 2 gorgeous people on the door. The man, King Yzaak is wearing a dark shade of blue suit while the woman. Queen Merideth is wearing a Beaded Lace Long Sleeve A-Line Dress matching her perfectly.

We all greeted them with a bow, not sitting on the seat until the guest is already sitting. They sat on the bottom end of the table, the opposite end of where King Lucian and Queen Carolina is seated at.

"Where is Mary?" Queen Carolina asked them.

"My daughter is on her way now" then the woman smiled, glancing a stare at her.

Minutes later the speaker announced the coming of Mary.

"Princess Mary, together with Prince Lianno has arrived" Revealing both of them, linking arms at each other.

Mary is wearing a Black Sleeveless V-Neck Trumpet dress, while her arms are on Lianno's on the other hand, Lianno is wearing a light blue suit, white long sleeve polo is beneath it. They both looked calm as they walked steadily in our direction.

Seeing Mary smile while Lianno is guiding her towards the table left a pang of pain in my heart. Lianno's eyes and mine met halfway, but he quickly avoided it, causing me to look down on the table.

Getting confused, I asked myself, why am I even hurting in the first place?
