Being Cinderella's Evil Stepsister 10 The Awakening Ceremony Part 1

They enter the big white building, which amazes them more. The windows are made of stained gla.s.sed that shows beautiful pictures. Some are of flowers, designs, and patterns. The ones that really stand out are the four that leads to the altar. Those four stained gla.s.ses are angels with white wings and wear a white himation over a chiton. They all point to the biggest window above the altar which shows a beautiful picture of a woman, her beauty was that of a G.o.ddess... no, she is a G.o.ddess.

All five of them push Drizella in front and hide behind her back. They would only peek at all the wonders around them. However, for Drizella she felt like she is being hammered around. She has to be careful of her pace and as they keep going forward, the other five keep shoving her ahead even if her feet aren't moving.

The hall that loud suddenly turned quite as everyone places their one on their chest and bow down. The only one still standing up and not understanding the situation was Drizella but her quick mind help her as she instantly copies their gesture. Everyone called out with reverence, "Blessing and glory upon the sun and moon of the Zovaidel Kingdom."

Drizella didn't say a thing, she only kept her mouth shut with her head down waiting for everyone else to get up. Amelia didn't educate her in the art of respecting the king or queen.

...

The king was very short with a big tummy that shakes whenever he laughs out. The queen was a beauty with red hair like her sister. The three princes take after the queen's beauty because they aren't like their father at all... maybe the first oldest is sort of like the father.

From what Drizella is seeing and can tell from how they appear the oldest is a scaredy cat, the second is arrogant, and the third is... just plain stupid. The oldest is cowering under the stares of the people. The second is looking at everyone else as if he's the best in the world and everyone else is just ant. The third... he's throwing kisses at all the young ladies that are looking at him... definitely a playboy in the future.

So here's the question, if all three of them are like this who is the most fitted to be the next king?

...

"Daisy! We are over here. We can't do the Ceremony with the n.o.bles since we are of low birth." The girl with the white fur cloak said with contempt.

Drizella nodded her head as she follows the girl.

They have to wait in a long line before it's their turn to test their Awakening Ceremony. From here Drizella can tell the difference of how they are viewed and it's similar to where she's from. Those that have lots of money or a n.o.ble t.i.tle can run the country as they want and see.

"Emma, care to tell me more of the princes?" she asks.

Emma was excited to tell but hearing the monotonous tone from Drizella, she pouted her cheeks refusing to talk or look at Drizella.

She sighs. With a super, lovely, and glowing look on her face, she expressed, "Aren't the princes suuuppper handsome! Too bad, Daisy doesn't know anything about them..." she felt a chill on her back, she instantly turns around to look. That place was where the n.o.bles are which wasn't close to where she was so how can someone be listening to her. It was only she who felt the chill so the owner must be listening to her alone but in this loud crazy place how can someone tell her voice apart from others.

"Clara. Did you see anyone looking this way from over there? You were just staring there." She shakes Clara another girl who came along for her Awakening Ceremony. Clara didn't answer her, it almost seems like she's in love land, there was a pink aura around her and Drizella was seeing hearts circling her. She snapped out of the delusion and shake Clara harder to wake her up. Instead, she replied as if she was floating to meet her other significant other, "There the boy with the messy black hair to his shoulder. ...Ahh! The boy next to him... I think I'm in love..." She lent on Drizella's shoulder with happiness overflowing.

"Yes. Yes. Good for you." Drizella nodded her head as she fixes her eyes at the messy black haired boy. As she kept looking she realized the boy wasn't truly looking at her but the girl after them. Of course, a handsome boy would want a beautiful girl! Not an ordinary girl. The girl has blond hairs and blue eyes like the ocean with a very beautiful contour. She truly has her (D) vision of what a western person should look like. If she has to compare her face with the girl on a scale of 1 to 5, the girl is definitely a 5 and she... a 2.5 only when she gives herself credit. Her face can be found in a million people while the girl's face maybe ten or five people.

The girl felt someone's stare and look up to see two eyes watching her. The person watching her smile and bow, turning around. The person was also a girl with brown hair and eyes which is very common in the Zovaidel Kingdom, the only difference is that the shades are different.

"Hey! You want to know or what, Daisy!" Emma yelled out as her face begin to turn red from all her anger.

"Yes! Please tell." Drizella said not wanting conflicts to happen. She gets the feeling that there are two girls fighting over her and as the man, she has to decide which side to choose. Feels like those movies where you'll get a harem and there'll always be trouble inside the harem.

Emma was satisfied with her answer. She nodded her head as she begins to talk, "The first prince name is Lucas Van Zovaidel. I heard that he's born from a maid that wanted to become queen and loved the King but the Queen prevented things from happening further. Now his mother owns a bakery shop and from time to time he'll be there."

Drizella's mouth was dangling open. She turns her head robotically towards were the Royal Family is seated. Glancing back and forth from the King and the first prince, she can see the resemblance but... for a woman to do something like that is... "Is the King really that handsome or she just is stupid?"

Emma: "Huh? Of course, the Royal Family's men are known for being the most handsome and wanted men of the Zovaidel Kingdom! Prince Lucas won't inherit the throne so the throne would go to one of the Queen's two sons. But I think it'll go to the second son, Prince Thomas rather than the third prince, Prince Sean."

So meaning one of those two would be Cinderella's prince charming. But their characteristics are truly different. Let's hope Cinderella's is the same and doesn't change. From what Emma said and from my knowledge of kingdoms, the first prince is the crown prince meaning he's the rightful heir to the throne.

Emma and Clara shudder at Drizella's happy grin that is full of wicked ideas. Clara was too scared to speak out so she motioned for Emma to speak. Emma who was just as scared look at the other three. They were trying to ignore Emma's stare by talking together and interested at the others magical output. Emma gulps down deeply, with a shaky voice she asks very carefully, "Dai... Daisy. Everything is alright, right."

"Of course!" Drizella smiles brightly with her eyes closed. She eyed in front of them, seeing it's their turn: "We're up."

Emma really hopes that it's nothing. She and Clara are the first ones to walk onto the stage to test their magical elements. There are two counter standing side by side with a white crystal ball sitting in front of them and an instructor behind telling them their elements. They both choose their own counter and place their palm on the crystal ball...

EmmA slight green color ball swirl into the open of the crystal ball then a larger gray ball appear, with a magical amount of 3

ClarFlim amount of brown appeared in the crystal ball with a magical amount of 4

Gray-A red ball larger than the gray ball of Emma appears with a magical amount of 5

Stan-Same as Gray but instead of red the color is green and brow with a magical power of 6

Endy-A huge amount of red color appear with blue mixed in and magical power of 7

Afterward, Emma steps inside the magic circle with a silver needle. The needlepoint was very sharp even though it's very small. She prinks herself with the needle dropping two or three blood in the magic circle she's standing in. The blood activates the magic circle as blue lights s.h.i.+ne up below her and her tiny droplets of blood grow bigger until it condenses into an egg. As the egg forms the red blood swirl and spins into a small symbol on the top side of the egg and the eggsh.e.l.l twist into white. The same thing happens to the other four.

Next is Drizella's turn and her partner just have to be the girl she was staring intensely at.
