Destiny of the destinies

"Don't you think, Father, the ceremony is taking too much time? I mean, we should get going. We have nothing to do here. Our Arya already received her power, besides it's already afternoon," Agni asked, already getting bored.

'Yes, I understand it's taking too much time. Even I, who has never seen this beautiful temple, feel bored too.'

"Soon, it's in the last stage. Besides, everyone is waiting for its end. Besides, the royals are going to host a ceremony celebration at night!" Father also sighed while pinching between his eyebrows.

While we were discussing, some other priest announced, "Greetings, the King and the Queen, royal family, the nobles who are present here. Today the ceremony ends here. Please make sure every child gets the blessing of the Goddess, so please assemble in the main hall. Thank you, May Goddess bless you!"

"Well then, let's go. Arya needs her first blessing," Agni said.

We moved to the main hall where every noble had gathered for the same ceremony. But there was a strange thing happening. Nobody was greeting anyone, actually, not even talking to anyon

"Strange," I mumbled.

"What is it?" Agni whispered back.

So I asked him in a low voice, leaning against his ear, "Why no one greeting?"

He explained in a low voice too, "Because there is only one who is the most powerful. And when we stand in front of Her, nobody matters but Her, and it's a bad thing and frowned upon, also, a sign of bad luck."

"OH!" I never knew about it.

Seeing everyone doing the prayer, I also joined my hands in praying position.'

'Mother Goddess, I know that it is not my first time to ask for your blessing, but still, here doing the same thing, I know that you know everything, so please always help me and keep my family safe.'

After prayer, everyone left the hall and gathered into the outer hall and literally started to greet each other. But the royal family wasn't there. I actually wanted to see them, especially the prince. He is the main lead of 'Sweet Surrender'. According to the description, he is as beautiful as a 'full Moon'.

"Brother, where are the royal family?" I asked, still wondering.

"They are gone to the palace," he whispered back.

"Already," Sulkingly said.

"Yes, why are you so upset?" he asked, raising his one eyebrow.

"Oh, no, nothing. Was curious, never saw them!" I avoided his eyes.

He just nodded his head, said nothing. I felt relieved.

"Kids, let's go. We have little time for the night," mother informed us.

"Yes, tonight me, father, and mother are going to the royal palace to attend the after-ceremony celebration, and besides, it's my first time to visit the place. I mean, I did visit the place, but I was a baby, so I didn't have any memory."

While we were going to the mansion, I was thinking about the details of 'Sweet Surrender'. It is the same party where 'Arya' bullied the heroine, and 'hero' saved her, and the first act of 'Prince' and 'Rosalie' him falling for her at first sight. Also, 'Arya' fell for the 'Prince', even though he treated Arya harshly. Nevertheless, I have no wish for the drama.

"We are here," brother said. "What the hell are you thinking, Arya. Always daydreaming."

"Right now, I am thinking about the party where you are not invited?" I teased him.

He scorned, "Oh, please, I have no intention. In the first place and the party will be so long and boring, trust me I know."

"Arya, you should take some rest. You need that and don't play with Nuri. Go to your room and sleep, okay?" Mother told me lightly but strictly.

"Yes, Mother" I have so much to ask and so much to tell. But what can I do? I did what she told me to do. After changing and washing, I hit the bed and didn't realise I was so tired that I instantly fell asleep."

"My lady, wake up, you are going to be late."

I groaned, "Five minutes."

"But miss, what about the royal party, and your first royal party after unlocking your power?"

She is good at tempting me.

"Okay fine, help me then," I said to Anita.

'She is really good at her job. She knows my weakness.'

'Damn it, Anita.'

After washing and some basic grooming, she started to doll me up. My outfit and other things were already selected by my mother.

I wore an orange silk frock, little white ruffles at the bottom, with white shoes, half-braided hair decorated with white flower hair jewelry, and a little red feather pendant. Last but not least, a butterfly bracelet. Overall, I looked cute.

"Miss, you look cute as always," Anita said.

I chuckled. "And you say the same thing!"

"Miss, Madam and Lord are waiting for you!" a maid arrived and said.

When I went down to the hall, my parents were waiting for me, or should I say, flirting?

My father is wearing a white under shirt with red coat and black pants plus a clock in black while my mother looks lovely in her beautiful red silk gown. Her neat bun has a big red feather hair ornament on top of it . They look like a live painting.

"Father, Mother," I greeted them.

Father cleared his throat. "Oh, our Arya looks so beautiful, just like her mother."

I just smiled and showed them my dress. I agree with my father, I am a smaller version of my mother. Only our hair color is different; while I have red hair, hers is brown colored.

"Okay, we should get going," Mother reminded us.

So the journey started. Honestly speaking, my feet felt light. Maybe there was some nervousness, but lots of excitement. My 'Sila' is the highest among all the kids presented today, so there is no reason to feel inferior to anyone. And with that, every possibility of jealousy is dead. The path of villainess is also blocked. But I also want to see them: the hero prince, the heroine, the second lead, and the princess too. In the story, they are all described as very beautiful. The heroine was like a 'rose flower' with light pink hair and golden eyes, and the prince was like a combination of Moon & Water with sky blue hair and white eyes. "Oh, I can't wait! I am so excited."
