Capital


"Lily, are we there yet?" I asked her once again but she just laughed and said "Not yet but we're almost there."

I nodded, excited for my birthday celebration in the Capital. 

"Lily, what's happening?" I asked when I noticed something happening, a lot of people are also outside of their homes. "Is it always like this?"

"No, Athy. It seems like there's a festival happening," She answered.

I looked at her "Festival? Like a party?" I asked. She nodded. "We're here." I happily jumped while holding Lily's hand, I looked around, trying to see what's happening around me.

"Let's go there, Athy!" She said to me, I smiled and followed her.

"Wahhh! Lily! Lily!" I saw a stand with chocolates, my undying love for chocolates.

She laughed at me and we headed near the stand. Lily started talking to the man behind the stall, as I look what I like, there's too many!

Suddenly I heard something, "Look! Her eyes..." someone whispered, but I still heard it, I looked in their direction, and they gasped, huh?

 Lily pulled me while giving me a bag when I opened it, it's filled with chocolate. I ate one and offered one to Lily. We continued walking around but I still notice people stopping and looking at us—me.

"Lily," I look at her, and she looks nervous while looking around, when she heard me call her, she looked at me.

"Yes?" She said while smiling, but I can still sense her nervousness. "What's wrong, Lily?" I asked her.

"N—nothing. Let's go, there's still a lot to see." She said and pulled my hand.

I followed her, but I keep sensing people's stares.

I can see them whispering to other people. But I cannot hear what they're talking about.

"YOUR MAJESTY, we have something to say to you." I turned around and glared at these knights, "You're asking for an audience with the Emperor, without greeting?!" I shouted.

"W—we're sorry Knight Robane. Blessings and Glory upon the sun of the Obelian Empire." They said. I just continue looking at them coldly.

"What is it?" His Majesty said.

"There are rumours, circulating right now. A woman was said to be with a blonde little girl with..." they cut off, "With?" I asked them.

"With Jewelled Eyes, Your Majesty." They answered that shocked me.

That's impossible! Jewelled Eyes can only be inherited by those who are born in the Imperial Family.

"Jewelled Eyes, you say?" His Majesty looked at these nervous knights. "Find them. Bring them to me, right now." His Majesty ordered.

I looked at His Majesty, and I don't know what His Majesty is thinking, but I definitely saw a small smirk on His face.

This is an unexpected event.
