THE DESTINY OF THE SUN AND THE MOON
CHAPTER 39 - TIME TO SHOP!

The next day, I was with Luna going to buy a dress set for the Crown Prince's Birthday Party for another month. Earlier, yesterday afternoon I had a chance to meet the Emperor and invite him to a tea party. The emperor initially seemed to refuse but by using my ace card that is pleading with him in a cute style, he finally agreed.

I asked the Emperor to speak with four eyes deliberately insinuating Kayla aka the Emperor's mistress who still did not want to be far from the Emperor when I said before that I only wanted to talk to both with the Emperor and finally the Emperor agreed and ordered Kayla and several other servants to leave the glass garden in Sonne's Palace. The reason why I chose this place is because if I were to say this in the Emperor's study, Emira could have eavesdropped on our conversation.

Yeah, now I know where Emira and Kayla are hiding. It was a secret room that was like a long labyrinth that was in the palace and the only entrance to it was in this Emperor's study.

I myself learned this when I was ten years old or rather when I managed to master teleportation magic. I tried to perform teleportation magic in the middle of the night (because I could not sleep I decided to learn to control my magic abilities), I accidentally teleported myself into the Emperor's seemingly empty study and saw the door open. Out of curiosity, I went in there and found a large room door that opened slightly and how surprised I was to see the Emperor, Kayla and Emira are chatting like a happy family there and also talking about things that make me even less want to believe the figure of my father. I hurriedly retreated and used teleportation magic to return to my room.

Therefore I should always be careful again for being in the Emperor's study. While we were in the glass garden, I told the Emperor my plan regarding my 'gift' to Crown Prince Castor. The Emperor easily agreed to my plan and even gave me a lot of money (which obviously shocked me half to death). At first I refused the check, but the Emperor insisted on giving the check and even threatened me by canceling the agreement. With a heavy heart I accepted it, Dad... There's good, too.... Because at least the money I saved all this time I didn't use it and I can save it back again.

I also ask the Emperor not to tell anyone of this plan. Even I also used covenant magic so that the Emperor would not say this especially to Kayla and Emira because... The obvious harsh reality made me hate the Emperor even more.... And because of that, I planned this. A plan that would make things not the way they used to be even if they both appeared in public.

I grunted softly, then stared out the window of this horse carriage I was riding. The typical view of the city hall also made my feelings slightly improve. And not long after, I arrived in front of the batik belonging to Marchioness Aria, the best designer in this Eilidh Empire.

As I got off the horse carriage with the help of Diana and also some servants who were assigned to look after me. When I went inside, I was immediately greeted by the Marchioness Aria and some servants who worked here.

"Greetings to Her Majesty Princess Viviane, the little star of this Eilidh Empire. May you receive the blessings of the Sun God and the Moon Goddess: Sapa Marchioness Aria with perfect etiquette.

I nodded lightly, "Thank you Marchioness"

"I heard you had an appointment with Miss Erickson, she was in the room. Please follow me, will show you the way" said Marchioness Aria.

I followed the Marchioness Aria, and Diana followed us. When we reached the room shown by Marchioness Aria, I saw Luna sitting on the sofa with her personal servant, Sophie.

At first she seemed busy looking at the dress sketchbook she was holding, but upon realizing my arrival, she closed the book and smiled broadly at me.

"Vivi! Have you come?!" Luna.

I nodded and walked over to him, "Yes. Um... Did you wait long? Sorry I came late..."Luna shook her head, "No. You're not late at all. Sa-I just got here too"

"Then please sit here, Your Highness the Princess" said the Marchioness politely.

I sat on the sofa or rather next to Luna.

Marchioness Aria gave me a sketchbook but I refused.

Diana then gave a thin book to Marchioness Aria who looked confused. I opened the book and the Marchioness's eyes looked wide open.

"Your Highness the Princess... It's...." He said in disbelief.

I smiled faintly, "Yes, I want you to make some clothes that fit the one in the book. About the size, it is written on the sketch of each. And I also want you to enter into a contract of magic agreement with so that no one knows it"

Marchioness Aria then looked at me, "Do you want to keep it a secret?"

I nodded, "Yes. I want you to make it so that this design is not known to outsiders"

Marchioness Aria seemed to think for a moment, then she smiled, "Alright Your Highness the Princess, I accept it. This is an honor for me anyway. However, I also wanted two of my confidants to help me in my work"

I nodded and Marchioness Aria had her two trusted servants come forward to stand on equal footing with her.

I immediately took out a contract magic circle and the magic expanded to cover the floor that the Marchioness and her two servants had on. Not long after, the magic circle disappeared.

This contractual magic is a magic of agreement between two parties who have mutually agreed on something. For those who break this covenant, that person will feel pain that is so very even so that the pain can make someone crazy.

I know I want to be cruel, but I've made up my mind since I learned the truth from Kayla and Emira's introduction. This time I really won't make them do anything!

"And one more thing Your Majesty" said Marchioness Aria suddenly and made me look back at her.

The skill of designing clothes is brilliant! It seems like from the art of Her Majesty the Empress is really flowing at you!" Continue Marchioness Aria with sparkling eyes while looking at me, she then looked back at my sketchbook, two Marchioness servants who also saw my design also look at me with a look of praise.

Heard that compliment?it also makes me a little embarrassed. Well... At least I made a design that I created enough to make a Marchioness Aria-class Designer who is the best Designer in the entire Eilidh Empire at the moment.

Soon after, the Marchioness told the two servants of her faith to immediately prepare the materials and tools to make the clothes of my order while I drank the tea that was served in front of me quietly.

"Did Vivi make her own dress set design?" Asked Luna with a look that looked very curious.

"Yes, it's actually also a surprise for Castor so I don't want this plan to leak. That's why I made a contract magic with the Marchioness Aria and her two servants" I replied to Luna (although the answer was a little lie because this plan was not really a plan to surprise Crown Prince Castor).

My eyes stared at the shadow of my face reflected in the tea that was in my grasp. I do feel that I am so evil because to involve others in my plans this even binds them with contract magic like this. But since knowing that 'truth', I became very angry at my father's figure. The truth that had made me crumble for some time. And I will now avenge the three of them in my own way.
