...-AUTHOR POV-C...
Luna looked doubtfully at the Imperial family who was chatting and looking harmonious before her eyes.
Again he saw a bright light that surrounded Prince Blaze Crown Prince Castor and Princess Viviane, also the light that surrounds Empress Ivona and also the slightly dim light that surrounds Emperor Horus and Prince Helios.
Luna also did not know the reason but her attention was on the one who had the brightest light among all of them, she was the third Prince.
She squeezed a little handkerchief that she had embroidered, she felt so embarrassed to give it to Blaze. Not to mention Blaze who received a handkerchief with such beautiful embroidery from her sister who seemed to be a genius, Viviane. While her own embroidery seemed a little messy, it made Luna feel insecure about giving it to Blaze.
With a lowered face, he retreated from the crowd while keeping his embroidered handkerchief into the pocket of the blazer he was wearing at the moment.
'Huh.... It seems like this handkerchief is for me only.' thought Luna with an uninspired expression.
Meanwhile, Vivi keeps watching Luna until her two-year-old daughter disappears from the crowd. Of course, Vivi became remembered the tragic event where the Princess of Duke Erickson was killed horribly in the event of his first hunting match.
He recalled how Duke Erickson and his wife, Duchess Erickson were devastated by the death of their only daughter. Those who for almost five years were absent from the social activities of the nobility and also the government, when they returned they began to wear all-black clothes and never smiled again. Even the atmosphere of Duke Erickson's residence which was originally filled with warmth turned so gloomy after the departure of the Young Miss of Duke Erickson's Family.
Honestly Vivi felt very sympathetic to them, especially when she accidentally saw the condition of the corpse of Luna which was already very terrible to see where her head was almost severed and her entrails were wide open. And when he accidentally saw it, Vivi immediately fainted and after he Sada, he immediately had a fever for a full week.
'Wait 'wait! I remember it! If not wrong, it happened on the first day of this hunting game, right? Meaning today!' thought Vivi.
Yes, such a tragic incident was on the first day of the hunting match. And Luna's body itself was found at the exact moment where the Sun had been sunk by the soldiers and also the male nobles who had come looking for Luna after news of Luna's disappearance.
But the Hunting Game was still continued even though there was a terrible incident like this at the decision of the Emperor and also the Temple Elders because according to the Temple Priestess, if it stopped this routine activity then the Empire would get misfortune and doom, the same is true of the offering they gave to the Sun God by handing over a girl who was burned alive to become the Bride of the Sun God.
The Duke and Duchess had to wait a day before they returned to their residence to prepare a proper funeral for their only daughter they loved, which was held the following day hunting games. The royals also offered their condolences en masse considering that Duke Erickson and his wife Duchess Erickson only had one daughter.
'I must prevent this incident! Because, if this incident happened like in his previous life, the social center and also the government are chaotic for many years! And when Duke and Duchess Erickson's return to the social world, Kayla uses it to introduce Emira to everyone!' thought Vivi again.
He began to remember when the economic situation of the government was so chaotic due to the absence of Duke Erickson who was the strongest trading center in the entire Empire. So many people have complained about how difficult it is to get money even though Empress Ivona Sud gave them help.
Even some people and nobles began to label Empress Ivona as a failed Empress because she was not good at handling her people. Because the Empress's job was to prosper her people while the Emperor took care of the government and also the security of the Empire.
Just contact various responses from people also popped up. Some are unbelieving, some are envious-minded, some started mocking them and some even considered their appearance in public was a boon because after the emergence of Kayla and Emira slowly the economic situation began to improve again. Over time, all the people considered Kayla and Emira as bearers of good fortune for the Eilidh Empire.
'When you think about it logically, thanks to Duke Erickson who came back and made things better, not the two of them! They didn't do anything! Did everyone in the future suddenly become stupid huh?'' thought Vivi who suddenly felt annoyed while clenching her right hand.
''Um? What's up Vivi? You seem annoyed?'' Asked her mother, Empress Ivona who saw the change in attitude of her youngest daughter who was being carried by Crown Prince Castor.
Vivi gasped in shock at the question from her mother and quickly denied it' ''Ahaha... I'm not upset about Mom... I'm just.... Uh! I want to play the game too!"
Momentary silence....
""""WHATAAAA???!!!!!!""""
With a compact Ivona, Horus, Castor Helios and Blaze shouting listening to the words that just came out of Vivi's mouth. They looked so shocked.
"CAN'T! VIVI CANNOT COME, THIS IS DANGEROUS!!'' Shouted the Emperor who strongly refused the request of his daughter who was immediately nodded by Castor, Helios and Blaze.
"Your father is right, baby, you must not come because in addition to being dangerous, women must also not participate in this match!'' Ivona said, trying to explain to her daughter.
"If you want a hunted beast, Big Brother will give it to you!'' Castor said firmly.
"OH?! I WILL ALSO GIVE ALL OF MY HUNTS TO VIVI ONE!!!" Shouted Blaze excitedly and did not want to lose to that Eldest Brother.
"If I...." Prince Helios slightly glanced at Bella but quickly looked back at Vivi, "I'll also give you some of my hunting, Vivi"
Hearing the words of Prince Helios that immediately made Bella surprised and angry. He clenched his hands tightly but quickly Duke Curt patted his daughter's shoulder to make her aware that they were in a crowded place.
While Vivi herself gawked when she got that reaction. He was actually not serious about his words because he said to divert the conversation to his mother who saw him who was upset. But he was grateful because he seemed to have managed to take his eyes off the Mother.
Vivi smiled, "All right. I'll stay here with Mom, Dad and the brothers take care of themselves"
Emperor, Castor, the, Helios and Blaze nodded their heads in unison and they were determined to get a lot of money for Vivi (in the case of the Emperor and Helios only partly because they would give their quarry as well to their partners).
