The Reincarnated Daughter Of The Cold Emperor

Chapter XXI

Cadence's POV

After finishing breakfast, I quickly got changed and prepared to head to the church

I wore a pure white, long-sleeved gown with gold thread and flower crystals that had been one of the specially custom made dresses

{ See image above }

My hair was tied up into a neat, classy bun and a tiara was put on to show my status as Princess of the kingdom

Currently, I was sitting in the carriage, waiting for us to arrive

This was my first time outside of the palace walls, and I could not help but be mesmerized by the kingdom

It seems that the city was decked out in decorations and celebrations for my birthday which I admittedly felt shy about

It felt quite strange to see the entire population of citizens celebrate my birthday.

Eventually, we arrived at the church

It was quite large and looked just as I imaged it to be

Waiting at the entrance were numerous priests and bishops

I recognized a certain man at the front to be the archbishop who crowned my Mother

He smiled as he and all the others proceeded to bow

[ "We welcome you honoured guests, to our humble church" ]

[ "It is nice to see you again, Archbishop" ]

Lady Lena replies politely

It seems that they have some familiar relationship based on the friendly atmosphere between them

[ "Indeed, it has been a while my Lady" ]

[ "The preparations have all been made, your highness please follow me inside" ]

I simply nod in response and proceed to follow the archbishop inside

It seems that only the archbishop and I are going, as everyone else is waiting outside

We enter a room full with large stained, glass mosaics of various beings with beautiful wings

Perhaps the Archbishop could see my fascination in my face, as he said

[ "These are all fairies whom we worship, your highness" ]

[ "Do they all have names?" ]

I ask curiously

He nods in response

He points to two of the mosaics on the further left

The first one looks to be a beautiful, brown-haired woman with mesmerizing, colourful wings that resemble that of a butterflies

[ "That one is the fairy of the forest animals. We call her by the name of Silva" ]

The second one he points to is a bright red haired male that looks to be very youthful and mischievous.  His wings are black and smaller in size

[ "This one is Artibus, the male fairy of tricks" ]

[ "Wow..." ]

I can't help but let out in a fascinated tone

[ "There are many fairies your highness, these are only the ones we know of" ]

[ "I see... thank you for telling me about them" ]

The Archbishop looks surprised about my reply but it quickly turns into a pleasant smile

[ "Now I think it is about time we begin the magic aptitude test" ]
