And with that, I curtsied as everyone around me clapped. I turned my head to look at my father as he mouthed "Well done,". I smiled at him happily, I did ask him to check my speech before I said it so I suppose he wasn't too shocked. "Thank you," I muttered walking out of the balcony.
As soon as I came out of the balcony I was greeted with claps and praises. I curtsied at the top of the stairs before slowly descending the stairs. "Well done my dear. I knew you could do it," muttered my grandmother as she walked towards me.
Grabbing my hand she turned to face the audience explaining, "As the oldest member of the royal family, I have been given the honoured to do this next part. Camellia Rose Avery from the moment I place this tiara onto your head, I now announce you as the princess of the Theodo kingdom," whilst placing the tiara onto my head. It was a pretty amethyst tiara with the royal family's symbols embedded onto the back of the tiara.
I curtsied towards my whole family as they all rushed to hug me. "I'm so proud of you my dear," mumbled Mother as we walked out of the cathedral hand in hand. "You have a lot of explanation to do," reminded Christopher as I nodded. "I will explain when we get back to the palace. Remember to secretly invite Damian and Ryan over to my palace," I ordered as Christopher walked away to sort that out for me.
There were 4 carriages on the outside of the cathedral. My Mother and Father would enter the first one. Brandon and Christopher were in the second one. William and I were in the third and the last one belonged to grandmother and her daughter Lady Jasmine. Grandmother should be in the front carriage but by protocol, Lady Jasmine wasn't allowed to be in front of the King and Queen. Grandmother wanted to be in the same carriage as Lady Jasmine, hence they were at the back.
The carriage soon began heading back towards the palace. On the way to the palace city, there were many citizens gathered to watch the procession. Like before I waved at them all with a smile on my face. "Not bad Camilla," muttered William as I laughed in reply. "That was quite a powerful speech," he acknowledged as I thanked him. We had some light conversation in the carriage before arriving at my palace.
When I entered the drawing room, I noticed that Alice was serving Damian and Ryan some tea. It seems they have arrived earlier than us. "Your Royal Highness," chorused Damian and Ryan as they bowed. It seems that Damian must have some lessons on etiquette. "Forget the protocol, please have a seat," I ordered as my parents walked into the room. "Your Majesty," I greeted as they told me to sit down.
"Camilla what was that about?" asked Father. "Father, do you remember the ordeal with the artefact and what Goddess Skylar said?" I asked as he nodded. During the ceremony, time was stopped by one of her soul beasts guarding the artefact. They had noticed some of Skylar's presence within me hence they stopped the time to question what was happening. But in short, I found the second artefact.
However, the soul beast- Vandhest also explained that the only people who should be able to move when time stops are people who are realted to Skylar so the royal family. Or people who have connections with her in their past life. Which means Damian and Ryan both have connections with her," I explained.
"Wait I'm confused, what happened with the artefact?" asked Ryan as I quickly explained everything from the beginning. "Woah that's quite a lot to take in," exclaimed Ryan as I nodded. "Wait so one of us is your past lover?" he asked as I nodded uncertainly. "It might be both of you," mumbled Grandmother as she walked into the room. "Mother," greeted father as my brothers and I chorused, "Grandmother,". Ryan and Damian stood up to greet the Queen dowager. She gestured for us to sit down.
"Mother, what do you mean by that?" Father asked. "Although we can only tell little parts of Skylar's life from historical records. But it's quite well known that the Goddess Skylar had two love interests, Aaron and Kevin. Kevin was an angel that came from heaven, he was sent to protect Skylar and Scarlett. Aaron was a human who Skylar fell in love with. But she also had something with Kevin," she explained. Whilst turning to Ryan and Damian she muttered "One of you is Kevin and the other is Aaron,".
