Chapter 204 - Day 3 of debutante party (1/2)
[Diana point of view]
It's a mess. A total mess and failure from my side. Various diplomats and noble as well as royal from various countries that are invited keep on insulting me as well as Estel itself for failure of foresee such event happening. Not to mention, The Beast Kingdom also took a heavy toll and blame due to Motra action, but I'm glad that didn't stop King Leogris from making a diplomatic relation with us.
”Princess, another one of them...” [Maid A]
”Again? Say the same thing” [Diana]
”Understood” [Maid A]
Despite of them insulting me, they still have the nerve to request an adoption for those ten kids. Seriously... It's nauseating, having to deal with them.
The news of those ten orphans being the ten heroes must have spread far and wide by now. Of course, there are multiple skepticisms and I hope for the most part, it will remain so, but Motra showing his/her fallen god blessing as well as the fact that he/she shouted out loud about the ten kids being blessed with the ten heroes blessing really show the greedy side of them. Ash, of course, refuse them all, even went as far as kicking the face of a prince from a certain country, so much so that the prince declared war with us, and our response couldn't be any better. ”Bring it”, is what both Ash and I said, and looking at how serious we are, the cowardly prince just left, flustered
(Let see what is the top priority for today) [Diana]
1. Interrogate Motra
2. Since Claude's master have returned, must talk to him regarding the ten heroes. P/s also ask Seraph regarding himself
3. Update from Ministry of Defense about the possible locations of Drant
4. Telling Liyana about Linda, and about our past... Should I save this for the last?
5. Overseeing the reconstruction of damage area, as well as compensation for those families losing their beloved one and those who are injured
6. Various meeting with the noble and royal from other countries
7. Ask Rafiah's frien...
~Ring~
”It's ringing. Why don't you pick up the phone” [Qis]
”Must be Ash” [Diana]
Well, I'm fairly busy, so maybe I should just called him later, but
~Ring~
”Come on, pick it up” [Linda]
”Yes, it must be important” [Qis]
”You guys seem persistent. Well, if you insist” [Diana]
Picking up the phone, as expected Ash is the caller, just that
”What are you doing! Come on and come celebrate with us. Day 3 of debutante party is supposed to be your free day hanging out with us all” [Ash]
”It's true, I should meet with the local, and I'm heading there as...” [Diana]
”Baah... Party pooper” [Ash]
”Excuse me!?” [Diana]
”Just come wearing that dress of your from yesterday and celebrate with us all. Can't have the main star of the party goes absence” [Ash]
”But I'm busy!” [Diana]
”Who cares. Or do you want me to kidnap you, force you to dress in front of me and drag you here” [Ash]
”ASH!” [Haliza]
”He seems serious” [Linda]
”Well, Alaric and I can't stop him. We are too ”tired” right now” [Qis]
”You guys! Fine! But I'll come only for a short while!” [Diana]
”All of you heard that! She will be coming!” [Ash]
”HOORAY!”
Honestly. Can't he see how busy I am. Plus, Qis and Linda also agree to him, they must have plan something in advance. I suppose I should go there, oversee the damage and do the compensation.
Dressing up, I quickly leave the office, and The Valkyrie seems to be perfectly ready to escort me. Just what are they planning...
”It's her”
”Still have the nerve to go out and be irresponsible”
”She tried so hard and yet fail spectacularly”
”How laughable”
”Still, we need to get on her good side, since those ten heroes are under her”
”She's just lucky to have the blessing and the ten heroes under her, that's all”
Lucky. I suppose I am, since this blessing originally belong to Linda before being transferred to me after her death
”Princess, let us go” [Bladel]
”Alright! Can't wait to hear the princess singing” [Valkyrie C]
”Wait... WHAT!” [Diana]
Hearing that, I quickly retract my footsteps a bit, but
”Come on now, let's go!” [Alice]
Alice, who is already inside my carriage, drag me inside, while Qis and Linda push me from behind. Just what are you guys planning!?
Along the way, I can see the orphanage neighborhood area sustain a heavy damage, but even so
”There's the princess!”
