Chapter 62 - Kiss the Girl... (1/2)

”Ladies and gentlemen!”

The curtains of the stage went up and the Princess of everyone's mind, yes, of course, Anne, went out as the host of the kidnapping event.​​

Her clothes were strange, though, she looked like a beautiful goddess. However, she was wearing a mask, a brilliant mask covered in silver gems. She was gleaming so beautifully that it almost blinded the guests. Thankfully, Eliot managed to control the special effects this time, or the bunch of middle-aged ȧduŀts would be blinded.

”We have taken you from the event of the Academy's Clubs Festival to present you with something more worthy to see.”

The students on the side didn't retort as they had agreed that it was more important for the people in the seats to see the show of the Princess. They had worked hard to create the show, and it would be a shame to not go through it.

”Then without more episodes in the list, let me tell what will happen now.”

She smiled and the sound of some drums tumbling to hear her words echoed in the hall. The guests looked at each other in their seats while some of them were eating their snacks and drinking from their cups. They were given some special lenses to watch the special effects on the stage and even the strange seats moved from time to time.

”This is amazing,” Julian, the King of Lith, whispered to his dear Queen's ear as she was giggling from the whole event. ”Don't this make you remember that time in the Eylos theater?”

She smiled and blushed. They were only nobles and not the King and Queen of Lith, they were also so young and naive and full of silly ideas. The box on that theater was the one on the corner, a very concealed corner, and the Julian from that time was as mischievous as now. He liked to play.

However, it was not the time, not when they were in the front row and there were many eyes on them even their children.

She slapped the hand of the idiot husband of hers, ”Stop it, or…”

”Or what?” Julian whispered again in her ear.

”Or… or I will…” she couldn't deny that this little show of her dear daughter, Anne, made the couple remember their passion for each other. She had thought that those days were over as it seemed her dear husband was more occupied with other things such as paying bribes to the Academy or managing a country, though, she helped him. They hadn't had much time lately to enjoy each other's company.

She looked at his golden eyes as he was leaning to kiss her, and she blushed.

However, they were not the only ones in a cloud of flushness as the couple from the Mills Dukedom were teasing each other with little gazes and kisses on the hand and the cheek. Even the little Charlotte that insisted on seating in a separate row was sending flirting gazes at the little Ian that was blushing to his ears. Though he didn't mind it. He was even willing to share his snacks and the piece of fruit tart he won from the Chef Hugo roulette a few minutes before.

Now they were the innocent ones as the couple from the Prim Dukedom and namely, the respected and admired Prime Minister, was now kissing blatantly his dear wife. However, no one care, those parents in their couple seats were having the time of their lives.

”They are ignoring me,” Anne said when she finally finished explaining the whole show to the parents who were shamelessly flirting with each other.

She smiled when the Queen looked happy but for now, that was not what she wanted to provoke. Then as she stepped to the middle of the stage again, she clapped her hand to the air to make a sudden noisy effect to attack again everyone's attention.

”The show shall begin!”

Then she clapped again, and she disappeared in a cloud of smoke. The crowd finally paid attention, though, only some of them. The others had to be removed from there as they were behaving so indecently in public. Namely, the Prime Minister of Lith. What a brazen man.

Anne smiled when the man was led to the punishment room alone. He was imprisoned in a glass cage on the back of the stage that was still able to see what was going on.

[Done!]

From the Duchess of Prim, a message was received. The shameless woman, the wife of the Prime Minister, was a spy working with the kidnappers. She smiled and waved to her dear husband with happiness. The Minister only shook his head and narrowed his eyes. Something was not right. He had this bad omen coming on his heart.

Then as the lights illuminated two spots of the stage and the announcement of the King and Queen of the Festival came to everyone's ears, the claps and whistles filled the room.
