65 A song for Hans (2/2)
There's nothing to forgive....”
The third prince, kept looking at the source of the angelic voice which entranced the audience. The song was lonely, stirring the hearts of the lady's and touching the hearts of the gentleman.
She cultivated the voice of the angel manual. It could be used to manipulate an opponent, assault the soul, or to simply entertain. At first, she was intended to use this skill for business dealings. But she did not think that the royal family would be drawn towards this unique skill of hers.
Singing this type of song to the royal selection of wife, she was simply showing the aspiring young ladies a glimpse of the jealousy that they needed to suffer as a part of a Harem. Having an unstable position even their own family leaves them no room for a peaceful carefree life.
This invoked tears to many, even the empress and concubines themselves. For the males, having numerous wives was a part of the tradition. The heavy burden lay on the main wife to maintain peace and order within the family. At least a superficial type of peace.
The crown prince maintained his usual demeanor. He listened to Cheska's song intently and studied her features. She was one of her playmate when they were just kids. A month ago when he visited the Gracy Academy in Jilai CIty, he saw this young girl chatting merely with her friends under the Centree. Compared to that time, her skin was fairer, whiter and glowing. Her hair was shiny and healthy as well.
He was at a loss. The young girl did prepare for this event but she was saying that she was reluctant to become a part of the royal family. She even appeared just in time for her performance.
What he did not know was that the changes in Cheska's appearance was a result in her change in diet. It had been a month since she avoided the unclean foods which were described in the spiritual cultivation manual. This minimized the entry of pathogen in her body which allowed it to focus on cellular repair rather than fighting off with dangerous microorganisms. The increase in cellular repair gave her a healthier skin both inside and out.
As she finished the song, a deep loneliness continued to linger in the hearts of the woman present in the hall. Nobody dared to cut the silence.
”Your Majesty, royal highness I hope you enjoyed the song” Cheska said as she bowed once more.
The impress took time to recover and respond to her.
”Cheska, I am glad that you came. Your voice sounds exquisite as usual. You have surprised me once again with your performance.” He commented as he signaled a servant to guide Cheska to her seat.
”Thank you your majesty.”
The young miss surrounding her could not help but to ask her where she got her gown. The York family had not made it public that Cheska was the creator of the trendy designs in their boutique.
”Miss Go, you are totally outdated. Don't you know that the York Family owns the sensational boutique which is now the talk of the town.”
”Oh, but I thought they only sell clothes for daily use?”
”Wow, it means that these are the newest set of designs?” The lady from the Nilyun family exclaimed.
Cheska wore a calm smile with all the flattery from the young ladies. It was not easy to hold on to one of their designer clothes. In the past, these concepts of selling clothes were only for poor entrepreneurs. Every clan have their own tailors, only poor people needed to buy ready made clothes. But with her skillful manipulation of the market, she made their boutique sensational. Every design was desired by princess from the nearby kingdom and country. But, not everyone can hold on to their merchandise.
If she had not introduced modern designs for casual and daily use, they would not have appreciated her ball gown today. If Cheska's plan would run smoothly, this surprise on the ladies present in the banquet would urge them to check on the new designs in her boutique. Her travel were not put in vain.
