"Greetings to the Emperor." Feng bowed his body respectfully.
"Prince Feng, as you can see Princess Xie has completed his final test. This test is a determinant of whether or not Princess Xie becomes the empress who will accompany me to lead Neptune. There's already a weapon from the raft. As we all know that weapon is your creation. Then I ask you to judge the results of Princess Xie's assembly. Because no one understands that weapon better than you."
"Hamba is ready to carry out his noble command." Feng then walked forward a few steps and stopped when his body had aligned with Princess Xie.
Feng then carefully inspected part by part of the weapon. After feeling enough Feng put the weapon back in its place.
"Your Highness Kasiar, I have finished examining the weapon. And from the results of the examination of the servant, there is one component part that has not been installed. The distance controller. The tool is indeed as trivial when viewed from the size and shape, but it is a vital part of this weapon."
Everyone present looked surprised by Feng's reply as they all saw for themselves that Princess Xie had installed all of the components since there was nothing left on top of the weapon box.
A Palace official took a few steps forward, though,
"Although Your Majesty, I have a suggestion. What if you ordered to check again there might be components left behind so that Princess Xie did not install them. Because obviously up there there's not a single piece left."
"Wise advice, Minister. Alright. The soldier opens it and checks the box again, there may be a part left in it!" emperor's Decree.
"There's no need for Your Majesty." Princess Xie's voice sounded clear if she was trying to prevent him from re-examining the weapon box.
Everyone looked back at Princess Xie's focus in the middle of the room.
"Your Majesty, the unattached part is on me." Princess Xie then opened her hand.
Everyone was silent despite being surprised. In their minds they can only guess what happened.
"Why is it still in your hand?"
"Your Majesty, I acknowledge that I am unable to complete this test. Servant has neglected not to install this tool first. When I realized that time was running out, it was impossible for me to reassemble the weapon and reassemble it. Because if that servant does it will be even greater inability of servant to complete it. Because it's not just one component that's not plugged in but more."
Everyone present looked disappointed by Princess Xie's reply.
"Princess Xie, I appreciate your effort and hard work all this time. You completed every test I gave you well. But if you fail then still fail, especially those who forget you put it is one part of Vital. An empress must be focused and have a mature calculation, if she is doing so important how she will take care of the people and the planet. In accordance with the promise I have made with the Xierus realm elder if you manage to complete everything then you are declared worthy of becoming empress. But this time you have failed, then this matchmaking is over." The Emperor looked at the elders of Xierus who despite the disappointment on their faces but accepted the Emperor's decision with a airy heart.
"But I still have to appreciate all your hard work. Then ask for something as a gift from me. I'll grant it. Tell me what you want?"
Princess Xie raised her head, although her heart was doubtful but still she used the opportunity the Emperor gave her.
"His Majesty the Emperor, the servant came into this palace with the hope of the father, King Xierus and all the people of Xierus to try to gain the honor of the opportunity he gave. I accept His Majesty's failures and decisions with ease. But I wanted to return to Xierus, but not empty-handed. I want to get married."
Princess Xie's words suddenly again made everyone shocked.
"My daughter. If you fail this exam, it indicates that you do not have the decency to accompany your Majesty. Do not break the agreement we have agreed. It will destroy our dignity." said King Xierus trying to advise his daughter.
For a moment Princess Xie stared fixedly at her father's face that looked riled up. Then his gaze turned back to the Emperor.
"Your Majesty. The servant accepts not to be empress, but the servant asks a prince instead to marry me. That way the servant will return to Xierus.
As Princess Xierus the servant did not want the people of Xierus to be disappointed with the failure. But if the servant returns home as the wife of a prince then it will at least be a cure for their disillusionment." said Princess Xie with teary eyes.
"Princess Xie, in addition to your charming appearance, your heart is also very noble. It is fitting that the whole people of Xierus love and are proud of you. Now tell me, which Prince do you want to be your husband?" the Emperor asked in a voice that showed his charisma.
Princess Xie lowered her face, though,
"If it is pleasing to be married by Prince Feng." replied Princess Xie with a trembling voice.
Feng who felt his name being called instantly looked at Princess Xie who did not dare to raise her face.
"Prince Feng, what do you think?" asked the Emperor to turn his gaze and attention to Prince Feng who was now turning clumsy.
"The servant accepted all His Majesty's words." that was the only answer that came to Feng's mind. Because she herself did not expect that it would be Princess Xie's choice.
"Prince Feng, Princess Xie's request is his relationship with your person, and the future of your life. It is not the business of the Palace or the nation. I will respect every decision for your life."
"Well if so. I will give you time to know each other and to speak for seven days in this palace. Once you have the answer then tell me."
Feng bent his body as a gesture he accepted the Emperor's decision.
How King and elder Xierus. Is there a decision I have not yet accepted?" The emperor turned his gaze to them.
"We accept His Majesty's wisdom with spaciousness of heart. Thank you for the wisdom of His Majesty the Emperor." King Xierus bowed his body.

Drrr... Drrr... Drrr... The sound of a vibrating Lisa's phone.
Lisa saw Chandra Chou's name on her phone. Lisa pulled the green badge to receive her call.
Hallo-o.

Lisa closes her call with Chandra.
"Suzu, I have to go. You please keep looking for Violet's whereabouts and if there's any information.anything immediately notify me." ask Lisa while packing her phone and bag.
"Where's Lisa going?"
"I'm going to see my friend there's something I need to talk about about my contract" Lisa replied lying, then ran away leaving Suzu, who was still dumb, staring at her disappearance.
In the designated place
Lisa immediately approached Chandra's car parked on the side of the road.
"Lake in!" chandra Command. Lisa said, get in the car immediately.
"Redirect our tracks now!"
chandra said to Boy through a Bluetooth speaker attached to his earpiece.
"What are you talking about?" lisa asks to hear Chandra's words that she doesn't understand.
Instead of answering Lisa's question, Chandra surprised Lisa with something else.
"Wear this to close your eyes!" Chandra handed him a long cloth.
"Why wear this?"
"If you want to know about your sister, don't ask too many questions. We don't have much time."
"W-what happened to Violet?"
"The more you ask the less time we have. Quickly put it on or get back out of my car if you have any doubts!"
Lisa nodded her head and closed her eyes using the cloth.
"Open Path!"
Chandra immediately stepped on the gas of his car which made Lisa more agitated.
During the trip Lisa was made tense because Chandra was driving her car at high speed while her eyes were tightly closed.
