[Diana point of view]

It's a mess. A total mess and failure from my side. Various diplomats and noble as well as royal from various countries that are invited keep on insulting me as well as Estel itself for failure of foresee such event happening. Not to mention, The Beast Kingdom also took a heavy toll and blame due to Motra action, but I'm glad that didn't stop King Leogris from making a diplomatic relation with us.

"Princess, another one of them..." [Maid A]

"Again? Say the same thing" [Diana]

"Understood" [Maid A]

Despite of them insulting me, they still have the nerve to request an adoption for those ten kids. Seriously... It's nauseating, having to deal with them.

The news of those ten orphans being the ten heroes must have spread far and wide by now. Of course, there are multiple skepticisms and I hope for the most part, it will remain so, but Motra showing his/her fallen god blessing as well as the fact that he/she shouted out loud about the ten kids being blessed with the ten heroes blessing really show the greedy side of them. Ash, of course, refuse them all, even went as far as kicking the face of a prince from a certain country, so much so that the prince declared war with us, and our response couldn't be any better. "Bring it", is what both Ash and I said, and looking at how serious we are, the cowardly prince just left, flustered

(Let see what is the top priority for today) [Diana]

1. Interrogate Motra

2. Since Claude's master have returned, must talk to him regarding the ten heroes. P/s also ask Seraph regarding himself

3. Update from Ministry of Defense about the possible locations of Drant

4. Telling Liyana about Linda, and about our past... Should I save this for the last?

5. Overseeing the reconstruction of damage area, as well as compensation for those families losing their beloved one and those who are injured

6. Various meeting with the noble and royal from other countries

7. Ask Rafiah's frien...

~Ring~

"It's ringing. Why don't you pick up the phone" [Qis]

"Must be Ash" [Diana]

Well, I'm fairly busy, so maybe I should just called him later, but

~Ring~

"Come on, pick it up" [Linda]

"Yes, it must be important" [Qis]

"You guys seem persistent. Well, if you insist" [Diana]

Picking up the phone, as expected Ash is the caller, just that

"What are you doing! Come on and come celebrate with us. Day 3 of debutante party is supposed to be your free day hanging out with us all" [Ash]

"It's true, I should meet with the local, and I'm heading there as..." [Diana]

"Baah... Party pooper" [Ash]

"Excuse me!?" [Diana]

"Just come wearing that dress of your from yesterday and celebrate with us all. Can't have the main star of the party goes absence" [Ash]

"But I'm busy!" [Diana]

"Who cares. Or do you want me to kidnap you, force you to dress in front of me and drag you here" [Ash]

"ASH!" [Haliza]

"He seems serious" [Linda]

"Well, Alaric and I can't stop him. We are too "tired" right now" [Qis]

"You guys! Fine! But I'll come only for a short while!" [Diana]

"All of you heard that! She will be coming!" [Ash]

"HOORAY!"

Honestly. Can't he see how busy I am. Plus, Qis and Linda also agree to him, they must have plan something in advance. I suppose I should go there, oversee the damage and do the compensation.

Dressing up, I quickly leave the office, and The Valkyrie seems to be perfectly ready to escort me. Just what are they planning...

"It's her"

"Still have the nerve to go out and be irresponsible"

"She tried so hard and yet fail spectacularly"

"How laughable"

"Still, we need to get on her good side, since those ten heroes are under her"

"She's just lucky to have the blessing and the ten heroes under her, that's all"

Lucky. I suppose I am, since this blessing originally belong to Linda before being transferred to me after her death

"Princess, let us go" [Bladel]

"Alright! Can't wait to hear the princess singing" [Valkyrie C]

"Wait... WHAT!" [Diana]

Hearing that, I quickly retract my footsteps a bit, but

"Come on now, let's go!" [Alice]

Alice, who is already inside my carriage, drag me inside, while Qis and Linda push me from behind. Just what are you guys planning!?

Along the way, I can see the orphanage neighborhood area sustain a heavy damage, but even so

"There's the princess!"

"Wave to her! Wave to her!"

"Man, she's pretty"

"I couldn't take a photo with her two days ago, hope I can get one with her"

"And those people, the Valkyrie and her female guard, they are equally elegant as well"

Just what is happening? Why are they still celebrating? Aren't they mad at me? But why, I'm so confused...

"Princess, why don't we wave back?" [Bladel]

"True, here, I'll do it first. Qis, come and do it" [Alice]

"I suppose I should" [Diana]

"Ri... Right" [Diana]

From the looks of it, they didn't mind what happen yesterday. That doesn't sound so logical, they should be mad at me, but why aren't they? Not to mention, when I look outside and wave to them, I could notice something

(There's various construction materials that I still haven't ordered, but there they are, lying around waiting to be use. Various medicine as well as the magic core Ash use for the communication stone all being replaced. How is that possible?) [Diana]

And once I arrive at the damage hall, all of them, all of them are waiting eagerly for me, with Ash hosting the event

"There she is! Everyone, give her a loud clap! So loud that you will scare all those arrogant noble and royal in the castle! On count of 3, 2, and 1!" [Ash]

~Clap~

They're all clapping so loud that it actually hurt my ear a bit. Qis and Alice keep on telling me to move towards a small platform that Ash make just outside the hall. I guess we are celebrating it outside rather than inside. Haliza join me at the start of the walk, and along the way, the orphans and fairies, they are all throwing various beautiful flower at me

"This isn't a wedding though" [Diana]

"Who cares, what important is that we have some fun" [Haliza]

"I suppose" [Diana]

I can also heard some music and some choir done. They're being lead by Seraph, with Muse and Liyana joining the other kids. They're all behind Ash, who... let just said Ash being Ash as he keep on commenting about various funny things like how slow I walk, or teasing Kara who is clearly to embarrassed to sing.

Once I join him above the platform

"Alright, the main star have arrived. Well, first off happy birthday to me, yesterday of course" [Ash]

"Hahahaha"

And now he try to become a comedian. Honestly. I wanted to leave as I have various thing to do but...

"Right let us continued from yesterday. After the shit show of exposing the devilish queens and princes, we are suppose to dance, or something like that. But let us change our plan a bit, shall we. It's birthday present time! And let me show you, my birthday present for her!" [Ash]

Ash reveals a treasure chest. It looks familiar, where did I last saw it?

"As you guys already had seen, this, this is the legendary treasure chest that can replicate any item that's put inside it! That's right, this is the treasure chest dubbed by some as Goddess Achalasia Chest, and this is OUR birthday present to her!" [Ash]

"WAIT! WHAT!" [Diana]

The legendary treasure chest. THAT LEGENDARY TREASURE CHEST! It exist!

"I can't, it's too precious!" [Diana]

"Ooh, look at her, suddenly become shy when she always force me to give my precious magic core to her!" [Ash]

"Hahaha"

"Ash! Stop it!" [Diana]

"Right, even though I don't want to depart from such valuable thing, I suppose it will be greatly benefit us all shall the treasure chest to be under her. Those construction materials, the medicine and all, it is as you know, being produced by the treasure chest, and imagine what will happen should a good ruler like her uses it" [Ash]

"That's..." [Diana]

"Though I suppose other, maybe I don't know, like certain queen or prince should be forbid to use it. Who know, maybe she can keep it safe at orphanage, that way, we can all use it" [Ash]

"Right! I'll do that" [Diana]

"And that's her birthday present to us all! CHEERS!" [Ash]

He must have planned this isn't he. It's a valuable thing after all, but I suppose being shared properties wouldn't hurt, that way we can prevent one sided abuse of it. Though have to make a mental note, future generation of royalty might abuse the orphanage and force them to surrender the right. Have to make some laws at least

"Alright! Onto the next part! Dancing. I don't know who but this single girl don't even have a partner, so..." [Ash]

"Would you do the honour of dancing with me, Ash?" [Diana]

"Saintess Rumia, please, dance with her... WHAT!" [Ash]

Oh, he suddenly become flustered. This is payback for all you have done to me! I'll show them how terrible you are at dancing

"But, but, I have to conduct the party" [Ash]

"Sir Ceanu, Sir Crow, if you would" [Diana]

""Of course"" [Ceanu, Crow]

"Hey! Don't disturb the plan!" [Ash]

"Good luck Ash" [Rumia]

((Love story, Princess and traveler, how exciting)) [Alice, Kara]

And I drag him down, where the two of us dance together. Gosh, he sure is terrible at this. It hasn't been five seconds and my feet already got step on by him. While we are at it, is that Alice and Jacks? Oh my, the two of us can't help but tease them. And Ram and Gizzere, they're so sweet. Rafiah and Rumia, just how many men are trying to dance with them... Ceanu and Crow on the other hand have their hand busy replacing Ash role, so they gently said no to dance invitation

"Ouch!" [Diana]

"Sorry" [Ash]

"Haha, it's fine, just follow my lead" [Diana]

As we keep on dancing, Charlotte and Cupid came and wanted to dance together with us, and it didn't take long for all the younger group, both from the orphanages and the neighborhood kids to join us. I guess I should just skip my work for today
