9 Dream 8: Banque (2/2)
Then a shamrock colored-hair guy in prince clothing suddenly shouted as he runs towards them having an excited expression in his chartreuse eyes, ”Miss Fai! You're here all along. I'm glad, I finally found you.”
*flinch* ”Uh-oh! Genrou please help me, he started bothering me when he came to know my name. He keeps asking questions!” Fai complained while grabbing Genrou's right arm.
”What!? Is that why you are running hurriedly? What happened?” He inquired.
”Well, here's what happened...a while ago....”
-----
A while ago before the bumping incident...
In Adara's Place.
Fai who was finally groomed went to see Adara on her room.
”Ta-da! Adara look! *swirls and spins around* The dress fits perfectly on me, and I really love how they braided and put volume on my moderate curly hair, now I feel confidently beautiful!”
(I'm soooo happy even if this is just a dream!) She silently scremed.
”Well, you're always beautiful, but you are indeed splendid today! Just wait for me a little more until I finish my retouch.” Adara responded.
”Ok, but you are already so gorgeous yourself.” Fai implied.
”Oh, silly I already know that, no need to mention it anymore.” She arrogantly said.
”Fine, you're confident *grins* I'll just sit here then.” Fai sat at the couch.
”Do as you wish.” Adara responded.
Then a few minutes, Adara's personal maid came knocking at her door.
”Your highness, the visitors have already arrived. It's time for you to come and greet the guests.” she implored.
”Alright, good that we have already finished preparing. Let's go to the Banquet Hall now Fai.” Adara stood up and went outside.
Fai followed her and in her thought ”My goodness, am I going with her to greet the guests? I heard that the guests are royalties in this world. I've never greeted someone so prestigious before...even I, did not have the guts to meet our city governor.”*nervous and anxious*
When they arrived at the banquet hall, Fai was astonished by the enormous and elegant venue. As they walk, she keeps looking around as she is fascinated by the beautifulness of the place as well as the elegancy of the people in it.
In Fai's inner thoughts, ”Woah!This is it, this is what I live for! The banquet, these beautiful people and this enourmous place!*fantasizes and sobs* Hu-hu-hu thank you for letting me experience it even if it's just in dream” *feeling touch*
Adara finally started greeting the guests while she introduces Fai to them as their kingdom's guest also. Not as a mortal. As Fai shakes hands with them, she can't help but to put an awkward smile because she feels shy and embarrassed.
(The announcement part)
Then after the announcement, Adara was called out by her royal friends from the Turtle Clan.
”Fai, I just need to catch up with them a little ok? Tell me if you need anything. Have fun and make friends here” Adara said.
”Ok.” And all of a sudden she smelled a delicious scent. *sniff-sniff* she then look towards the tempting smell and found a variety of delicious looking foods aligned in the corner.
”Food!It's food!” Her mind excitedly exclaimed and she added, ”Better ask permission from Miss Adara first before gobbling those foods *scheming laugh*.”
She then went to search for Adara who's talking to her royal friends.
Then Adara saw Fai approaching. She raised her hand as signaled her to come to them.
”Fai, here!” She shouted.
”Oh!” Fai later went there.
”Who is this gorgeous lady, Adara?” Princess Mishell from Turtle Clan's center kingdom asked.
As Fai sat with them, Adara replied ”She is our Kingdom's guest. She's staying with us for the meantine.”
”Then what clan does she belong to? Is she also from the dragon clan or is she a mixture?What is she doing here in your kingdom?” Princess Tate from Turtle Clan's East Flow asked.
Fai looked at Adara nervously, and Adara reasoned out, ”My, my...I know you're curious about this beautiful lady here…but isn't it making her uncomfortable?”
”Oh true, we're sorry.” Princess Tate said.
”Why? It's just asking what clan she belongs to, it is that hard to answer? We're just curious about her you know. I mean is she that sensitive to be uncomfortable? Or does she not like us?” Princess Terra from North Flow implored.
”That's not what I meant Terra. It's not all the time that we need to tell others about our personal information.” Adara defended.
”Personal information? Well, yes of course that's personal information but THAT, is not private at all. Unless she's trying to hide something...” Princess Terra mockingly implied.
”Terra, that's enough, you're crossing the line.” Princess Mishell said while she lightly pats Terra's shoulder.
”Tsk... Not at all *shoves Mishell's hand* Are they hiding something from us?” Princess Terra stubbornly implored.
Adara then seriously looked at Terra straightly as if she's ready to pick a fight like a volcano filled with lava that is ready to erupt anytime.
But all of a sudden...
”I'm from Phoenix Clan. I came here to arrange the matter regarding prince Genrou's marriage. You know I cannot disclose further information about that right? So are you happy now?” Fai indifferently stated while looking straightly at the stubborn princess.
The four ladies paused for a bit and they are left speechless.
In Adara's mind, ”Woah, impressive.*clap-clap* What a nice alibi. Real smooth eh...I never thought she could be like this. She pulled it off *nods over and over* she definitely pulled it off *proud laugh*”
”All right. See, it's about work and it's something confidential.” Princess Teta asserted.
Humiliation was evident in Princess Terra's face. She then stood up and stated ”I-I need to go find my dad. I feel that he is suddenly calling me, I-I'll excuse myself then.”
