- Proclamation of the Princess's Betrothal -

The knights introducing themselves with pride. "I am Sir Roland, champion of the East," said one, his armor gleaming. "And I am Sir Cedric, the Swift," declared another, his confidence evident. The third knight, towering and fierce, simply nodded and said, "I am Sir Gaius, the Unyielding."

"Your Majesty," Zekus stepped forward, his voice steady despite his smaller stature. "I am Sir Zekus, Son of Ben Gemstone, and I stand ready to honor your daughter." She paused and led out a deep breath. "When I saw Princess Rosa for the first time my heart knew right in that moment that I, indeed will make your highness the happiest princess, and I will protect the princess from any danger. I lay my life to protect the kingdom and my love for her." She said as looking up. Rosa blushed. "How could he utter such shameless words before us? His insolence truly vexes me beyond measure."

"Pfttt.. damn that girl she really being honest" Alver slightly laugh and whisper, both Tama and her quietly pushing each other, As the four lined up, theey held its breath, waiting for the Princess's reaction. She smiled turning to the King. "Father, why dost thou not choose? For thy wisdom in selection would surely be best for the kingdom. Father, thy happiness must come first,."  When her father heard. He felt an awe for his daughter truly. "If that be the case, perchance..." The king looked down. "Verily, it is unfathomable that he would even consider a person of such low character, uttering words that bring nothing but embarrassment to our noble court." After a few minutes they still wait for the King to say something.

"On the day of Carnation in two months, the engagement of Princess Rosa and .... Zekus, Son of Gemstone, shall be announced."

"Ha! Got yourself a woman before your own big sister and brother?" Tamie joked struggling her, "You really nailed yourself for the last one, you're such a fool. You should've looked at Princess Rosa. She made a wonderful disguise expression." Alver said. "Ugh leave me alone, I'll make Princess Rosa fall for me within 2 months" She snagged. " You are one hopeless romantic."

"Back off! I seen how you look at Princess Lucy Quntaz." "What, what nonsense are you shouting out." Alver punch her head, Tamie trying to broke them through.

Princess Rosa and Princess Lucy walked by each other, wondering what all the commotion among the boys over there was about. They walked towards them.
"I seen how you look at Princess Lucy-"

"Ahem!" Rosa interrupted them.

"Princess Rosa, Princess Lucy" both hands on their abdomen and bowed as they said the same time. Lucy cover her mouth with slightly shy smile, Rosa scan three of the boys.

"May I talk to Sir Zekus alone?" she said before they could answer. She grabbed her hand and ran towards the nearby tea place. Her hand is so soft, she thought. She blushed.

"Y-your Highness..." Alver stuttered. She was three inches taller than the princess and not as buff as the other men here.

"I- Yes?" Princess Lucy answered shyly.

"Ah!" Tamie interrupted. "I'll take my leave Your Highness." He bow.
