It has been one week since the day both Aiden and Eleañor had said to their father that they are giving up their rights to inherit the throne but Helious can only refuse since someone in their family must inherit the throne no matter what so it leaves Aiden and Eleañor no choice but to continue their life as the crown prince and princess of the Elvirium Kingdom.
Even though they had failed to convince their father to remove them from being the crown prince and princess of the kingdom, they still had successfully convinced their father to let them have a special training and lesson to anything they like to learn like for example Aiden is now having a special lesson that is all about magic and inventions everyday while Eleañor is now having a special lesson in both related in swordmanship and in martial arts.
In the past ten couple of days, the twins progress really fast in their lesson as they successfully exceeded their mentors high expectations from them for every trainings and lesson that they had receive everyday so they had been know as the twins royale or the twins prodigy.
The popularity of the twins grew as people only saw them as a blessing to the Elvirium Kingdom who are smart, good looking, nice, and overall perfect but inside the castle they are nothing like the rumors or the outside people saw them.
----------Inside Rhistion Castle----------
"Your majesty, your children are already in the right age, aren't this is the right time for them to attend balls and parties by now?"
『Harold Hans Fourildan - Age 31』
"Marquess Harold is right, your majesty."
『Jhonas Lyoid Klaise - Age 27』
"...."
『Helious Fou Rhistion - Age 29』
Helious was walking in the halls with his subordinate when he had heard again those questions again that he had been hearing for the couple of days since the twins popularity grow and he was getting tired from hearing those question again and again.
Helious life had become more troublesome since the twins had become more popular throughout the whole continent due their growing talents and their mana which is much more stronger and higher than the rest of the nobles so many nobles come towards their castle to propose a marriage agreement or even party banquet invitations in both of the twins.
Helious can only inhale a deep breath when thinking all of this since he has been doing all of his best trying to make the twins and his wife away from all the bad influence and danger on the outside world but either way he still need to let them decide what they want and he had no right to lock them away forever from the ouside world forever.
Helious was thinking deeply in his thoughts when he saw someone slowly sneeking inside the castle that seems to be trying their best so both him and his subordinate will not notice their presence but unfortunately for them Helious has already notice them.
When Helious saw the appearance of the person, he can really tell at first glance that this is none other than his only son, Aiden, who just came back from his materials hunting for his new inventions and he was not very surprise when he saw his son wearing a commoner clothes since Aiden had been doing this everyday just to get out of the castle without anyone recognizing him.
When Helious was going to catch his son himself personally so no one can see his son wearing those clothes right now that can ruin his growing good reputation outside the high class position as noble, a shadow of a women came infront of him running towards Aiden.
"Eek!"
Before Helious can see the women face clearly, the women already manage to catch Aiden before he can even move in a second but the way that person catch Aiden is different and painful since that person tackled him to catch him instead of just catching him normally.
"Ouch! That hurt you know!"
『Aidenious Haru Rhistion - Age 7』
"It's not my fault! And beside it's your fault for causing trouble again inside the castle!"
『Eleañoris Rou Rhistion - Age 7』
"Me causing trouble? Your the one who is causing trouble!"
Helious subordinates stop their tracks when they notice the ruckus that was currently happening and was only left speechless upon seeing that the perfect twins in person was actually bickering with each other right infront of them as the two continue to argue with each other while Helious tried his best to show a calm demeanor.
"You two."
The two keep on arguaing when they heard a cold and sharp voice of a woman that made the two sweet coldly upon only hearing the voice of this women and the loud atmosphere turned into a deep silence.
All the people turned their heads to face the halls when they saw Queen Rephinia standing there infront of them and the twins was very frightened when they saw their mother.
"M-mother!"
"Causing trouble infornt of other people, is that even right?"
『Rephinia Zie Rhistion - Age 30』
"No, mother."
"Then why don't we all talk about your mistakes in the office right now."
"Yes mother."
Both Aiden and Eleañor loved their mother but they were also afraid of their own mother when everytime she was angry so when saw their mother's expression on her face, they can't help but be nervous and afraid of their own mother right now.
Helious and his subordinates only watch this as none of them dared to go against the Queen of Elvirium who was know to be the Ice Cold Queen of Elvirium while the twins obediently follow up behind the Rephinia back.
After the twins came out after spending their whole day inside their mother's office to receive their own behavior lecturing, they went to their room to rest since they were both all worn out just from listening to their mother's lecturing words all day long so they both laid down from their beds to rest.
Eleañor and Aiden was resting on their room when they heard their maids knocking on their doors who seems to be in a rush.
"Eleañor open up the door."
"You do it... I'm tireeeed."
"Buuuutttt....I don't wannaaa."
Eleañor and Aiden was both feeling tired and lazy to open up the door to let the maids inside but in the end Eleañor was the one who gave up from listening to the countless of times the maids had knock on their door so she had no choice but to open the door.
"Finnnneeee...I'll do this myself."
"Okaaayyyy."
Eleañor got up from her bed and went infront the door and she lazily opened it just in time to met up with an anxious look infront of her of the two maids who seems to be both tired and had been covered with sweet so her laziness was sudden taken over with surprise and confusion on what was going on.
"What happen?"
"You-your majesty wants you two to attend the birthday banquet celebration of Duke Agustus's daughter!"
"Duke Agustus had a daughter?"
Before Eleañor can finish up her sentence, she and Aiden was suddenly been carried by the two maids to get the both of them all bath out and change clothes.
Eleañor and Aiden was too stunned to even notice that the maids and butlers inside the castle had already finished up changing their clothes and making them both all ready to attend the party.
Eleañor was the first one while Aiden was the last to snapped out back from their sense and both of them saw on the mirrors that they are both wearing the same pair of clothes like same knee-high shorts and dark shoes.
"Kyaah! You two are really cute in this matching clothes!"
"As expected of the king's children!"
Both the twins was really getting use to the countless of praise that they always receive from the servants around here and besides they can't lie that they both look cute right now but it might felt and sounded that they are a narcissist just now.
Inside their carriage, there were four people inside; the two was the twins while the other two was their two servants, Aristole Lenshire and Qiona Dostrill, who are the one that was appointed by their parents to accompany them in their travel towards the Duke Surionis Mansion since Jessilyn had been give a one month break for the mean time.
"So Duke Agustus have a daughter??"
The carriage quietness was broken when Eleañor asked a sudden and obvious question but it was filled again with deep silence when Eleañor finished up asking her question.
"Of course he had a daughter and in matter of fact he had three daughter by now."
"What?!"
"You're really an idiot you know?"
"Ha...Told by someone who can't even answer a simple question in literature."
"Say the one who really use a banana in a sword fight."
"Hughhh.....We really are going to do this again...huh!??"
"Bring it on!"
The twins began to argue again while their two servants can only watch this infront of them as they both give a deep sigh before stoping the twins from reaching to the point of hurting each other.
After Aristole and Qiona seperate the two from each other, the carriage suddenly became quiet as the twins didn't talk with each other along the way as the two servants was quickly relieve when all they can hear was the deep silence.
After one hour inside the carriage, they had arrive from the Duke mansion and they can already guess that there were already many people arrive inside since they can saw a lot of people coming inside already by now.
The carriage stop as the crest of the carriage had attract many attention of the people outside that many people gathered around the carraige to look up who was inside the carriage.
"Wooahh, Is that the Rhistion royal family crest carved infront of that carrigest?"
"I wonder who's inside, Is it the King or the Queen who will attend this event??"
Even though they were inside the carriage, the twins can already hear the people talking loudly and they cab already guess what they were talking and thinking about since their family has been very popular eversince their father became the hero of the war.
After Aiden and Eleañor fix up their posture and both make up a gentle and charming smile, they both went outside while having a gentle and charming smile that make the people outside be antonished by the elegant and charming posture and demeanor.
"Woaah, Is that the prince and princess of Elvirium?"
"Wahh!? is that really the crown prince and princess?.."
"They are sooo cuuuteee."
They both didn't pay much attention as they gesture their servants to just follow them from behind and not to pay attention to the people gathered around here as they all went infront of the door where they were welcomed by the three daughters of the Duke.
"Greetings to the Crown Prince and Princess of Elvirium Kingdom, I am Elisha Sora Surionis and I am the first daughter of the Duke, it's my pleasure to finally meeting the both of you."
『Elisha Sora Surionis - Age 10』
Elisha and her sisters both made a polite and elegant welcoming gesture to the twins which shows repect towards the twins position from them.
"It's our pleasure meeting you, Lady Elisha"
Aiden was the one who talked with the first daughter while Eleañor notice a young girl shyly hiding behind her elder sister's back but what antonish Eleañor was that the girl looked more cuter than the rest of the children in their age.
The girl had a silky and straight red hair and pair of ruby color eyes which Eleañor thought that suit the girl's face very much but before Eleañor can ask the name of the girl, she was instantly grab in the hand by her brother and they both went inside the mansion to celebrate.
While inside the party, the Surionis sisters were continuously greeting various other noble sons and daughters that just kept coming which gave them no more spare time to have a talk with each other.
They repeated the greetings, walking all around the room several times before noticing, that they had finally finished and were dead tired when they were ultimately able to have their time.
As for the twins, they were cramped put by the large crowd of people gathering around them that was continously greeting and making friends with them without even thinking of respecting their own personal space which make the twins super uncomfortable but they still manage to stay still and showed a fake gentle and friendly smile.
After they finished up greeting everyone one by one, the twins was already worn out and now wanted to go back to their room so they can finally get out of this place with so much people.
"Prince Aiden, may I dance with you."
"Me too!"
Eleañor was left all alone when countless of girls gathered around Aiden when it was time for the dance and he was drag in the middle of the room while his face was asking for Eleañor to help him escape from them but Eleañor only showed a large grin while having a teasing and laughing expression on her face.
After Aiden and the girls left, Eleañor was suddenly bored out so she went outside secretly in the garden without anyone noticing so she can get away for a moment in the large and noisy crowd inside.
So as Eleañor was walking around absentmindedly… A beautiful vision entered her sight and there were a lot of beautiful and colorful flowers spread out in some place sort of like a courtyard.
When Eleañor was admiring the beautiful vision infront of her, she noticed the same young girl that she had seen ealier when they were greeting the first daughter of the Duke who was sitting in the flowers all by her lonesome.
"Umm.....What are you doing here all by yourself?"
Having heard Eleañor calm and sweet voice, the confused girl noticed Eleañor presence and she quickly addressed her.
".....Ahhh!....Pri--Princess Eleañor. Wh-why are you outside in a place like this?"
Upon hearing the frantic voice of the girl, Eleañor can't help but smile and laugh a little which made the girl be embarrassed when she saw Eleañor laughing at her.
"....I don't like noisy crowd the most so I went outisde to change some pace..."
"...oh...."
Eleañor smiled while looking down on the girl face as she walked some steps and sat down beside the girl.
"...What's your name?..."
"....My name?..."
"....Mhmmm.."
The girl didn't answer for a while and courtyard was filled silence which made Eleañor think that the girl will never her question until she heard the shy voice of the girl.
"....My name.....My name is Regina Sora Surionis..."
Regina shyly answered Eleañor question but Eleañor was only shock that the girl really answered her question since she know that Regina might be too afraid and shy to talk to anyone rather than her sister and her father so Eleañor appreciate this the most.
"...Nice to meet you, Lady Regina..."
Eleañor showed a gentle and bright smiled towards Regina and Regina saw this which made her lip curve upward forming a small smile on her lips.
"As for Lady Regina, Why are you all alone in here?"
"...I'm not really too good with really lively places like inside besides who want to talk to me-"
Regina was starttled when she heard this question and she tried her best not to show any sadness infront of Eleañor but before Regina can finish up her sentence, she heard Eleañor voice.
"Then I will talk with you!"
Regina was surprise by this as she was examining all of Eleañor expression on her face to see if she was telling the truth or not but all she saw was the bright and honest smile of the girl infront of her which made her whole face heat up upon seeing that Eleañor was too close from her.
Eleañor saw that Regina whole face was now the same color of a tomato so she was very worried and asked her if she was okay which Regina reasure her that she was doing fine.
After a while Eleañor remember the beautiful vision that can be seen in this courtyard and she quickly remembered the rumors inside that the third daughter likes plants and flowers very much so she had already guessed who manage all of this flowers in this courtyard but she still want to hear it from Regina.
"This garden is wonderful and gorgeous...The flowers here are all beautiful!"
"...Ehh..."
Eleañor honestly praise the beauty of this courtyard which made Regina to look at her to see if she was just trying to make her feel good for praising it but for Eleañor everything that had just came out from her mouth was all of her true feelings.
"..Who would have made this beautiful piece of art using this flowers?..."
"...Ummm...It's me...."
"...Mhmm?"
"...I'm the one who has been takinh care of this garden and those flowers..."
"As expected of you, Lady Regina! it's so amazing that you can create such a fine garden!"
Regina was surprise when she heard Eleañor praising her for such a waste and useless thing that she can do because of luck and she has nothing to be praise of.
"....I'm not really that amazing...."
"...What do you mean? You are amazing..."
Eleañor was surprise when she heard Regina having small courage from herself and her talent in plants which made Eleañor quickly remembered the book she had been reading named, "The Green Thumb Daisy".
"You have a really amazing talent in raising plants which means you have a green thumb!"
"...What does that mean?..."
"That means that you have a great talent in raising and growing all kinds of different plants which make you extra special."
"...I'm special?..."
Regina squeezed both of her hands as she was saying those words as she was staring wide-eyed at her clenched hands waiting for Eleañor to answer her question.
"Ofcourse you are, everyone does, we just need to find the correct things that is suitable for our talents the most."
Eleañor said while smiling and when Regina heard her words and saw her smile, a faint smile can be seen on her face as well that for Eleañor was as lovely as if flowers were blooming.
Eleañor was admiring Regina face while talking more with her when she notice that it was already been two hours since she left and her brother must have been worried to her right now.
Eleañor quickly said goodbye to Regina as she insisted to guide her back inside which Eleañor can't refuse so got back inside after with Regina guiding her without any problems.
Then, as Eleañor walked inside, she saw Aiden who had been worrying about her since she had just disappeared for a long time without telling him anything so while they were walking towards the carriage he had scolded her and asking Eleañor where exactly she had been this whole time.
Thus, Eleañor gained a new friend and the twins first party end up being a memorable one without any problem happening or them messing up for their first time.
