Chapter 60 Star
Right now everyone was in Jasmin's room just chatting and laughing about multiple things.
"Arius, do you know where Blank went?" Yua looked over at Arius who was sitting on a big pink bed.
"No idea." He responded.
"She told me she had to do something and she'll be right back." Sally jumped into the conversation of Arius and Yua.
Both Arius and Yua nodded their heads.
The door that led into Jasmin's room opened revealing Luna and Lyria who both wore matching white dresses with roses on the right and left.
"Excuse us..." Lyria silently muttered.
Arius hopped off the bed and welcomed his mother and sister.
"Mother, sister no need to be so formal just come in." He told them with a gentle smile.
Luna and Lyria showed angelic smiles on their pretty faces.
The room which was lively and had a good atmosphere turned quiet.
"..." Jasmin, Eva, Yua, and Violet all had their heads facing towards the ground while biting their lip.
They were all truly anxious and nervous about seeing their mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Of course none of them knew about their new relationship with their man.
Lyria didn't notice the atmosphere, she ran toward her big brother and held his arm with a sunny smile while pulling on his sleeve.
"Big brother, introduce me to these lovely ladies!" She asked with sparkling eyes.
Luna on the other hand did notice the atmosphere and showed an awkward expression, she walked over to her 'son' and leaned into his ear.
"Arius, the mood right now is too awkward." She whispered in a quiet tone.
"I know..." He responded to his mother quietly.
Arius scanned the girls and saw them all cowering not in fear but nervousness.
So to try and lighten up the tense atmosphere Arius grabbed his little sister's shoulders and put her right in front of him making her face the other girls.
Lyria was a little surprised at being forcefully moved but she didn't mind because this was her big brother who was also her man.
"I would like to introduce Lyria, my little sister!" Arius introduced his little sister with pride as he rubbed her hair playfully.
All of the girls looked at Lyria and showed small smiles and stiffened up there postures.
The first one to step forward Jasmin.
"Nice to meet you Lyria, my name is Jasmin, I belong to Arius." She introduced herself with a gentle expression trying to have the little sister in her corner.
The next one to step forward was Violet.
"It is an honor to meet you Lyria! My name is Violet. I am your big brother's wife!" She told the little girl.
After that, Yua, Eva, and Sally introduced themselves.
Even though most of them have met Lyria they never really properly introduce themselves on speaking terms, hell, if they're going to be family they might as well fully introduce themselves.
Lyria stepped forward with a small smile and lifted her dress a little and bowed her head.
"It is an honor to meet you, please take care of my brother..." She had to spit the last part out forcefully.
The door opened revealing a tired and pale Alfred who was in his kingly attire wearing his golden red ruby crown.
He looked up in an exhausted state.
His eyes were dead and if you let the man lay on anything comfortable he would fall asleep in a second.
"Arius, the parade is ready for you..." He spoke in a tired tone, pointing out the giant glass window.
Arius and the rest all looked out the window to see tens of thousands of people on the side of the road drinking and dancing while joking with each other.
Alfred, walked over to Arius and placed his right hand on his right shoulder and looked him in the eyes.
"Everything is completed, all we need is you to ride through the capital on a horse." He told him.
"Got it."
"Then let's get going!"
Without wasting anytime Alfred pulled Arius by the arm out of the room.
All of the girls couldn't help but feel surprised by how fast he set up the parade.
Not wanting to waste a second all of them ran to their personal rooms to get dressed beautifully for the parade.
While the girls were getting ready Arius and Alfred were at the barn picking out a horse.
After checking out over 10 horses Arius arrived in front of one that caught his eye.
The caretaker for the horses noticed where he stopped and saw the horse he was eyeing.
"Sir Arius, please let me explain to you about this horse... This is Star she stands on average about 15.3 hands (63 inches, 160 cm), although it may vary from 14.2 to 17 hands (58 to 68 inches, 147 to 173 cm) at the withers, and mares or geldings must be at least 15.2 hands (62 inches, 157 cm) to qualify for a "star-designation" pedigree.[3] She can still grow to these sizes so please be patient with her.
She has a powerful overall conformation and good bone structure, with what is sometimes called a "Baroque" body type. Star has a long, arched necks and well-chiseled, short-eared, "Spanish-type" h-'' The caretaker who was going to tell him more was interrupted.
"Ok, I'll get her!" Arius picked the horse Star just so this old man doesn't have to keep going on and on.
The caretaker tilted his head.
"Are you sure? I can also tell you about how she has a powerful, sloping shoulders, compact, muscular body with strong, sloping hindquarters and low-set tails. Also her limbs are comparatively short and strong!"
Arius plugged his ears and showed a dead expression.
'This Oldman loves horses...' Arius thought to himself looking at the joyful Oldman who was at this point talking to himself.
Alfred, who saw Arius, getting paler and paler from listening to the caretaker he stepped in.
"Oldman Jones, we would love to stay and hear all about this horse but we must hurry up for the festival!" He awkwardly explained while pulling the insanely bored Arius out of the barn.
In his entire life Arius has never been this bored. The only time he could think of what could equal this was when he took his girlfriend shopping in his past life...
Just having flashbacks of that shopping date with his girlfriend gives him shivers to this day...
