1393 Words
After what happened, they went down to eat breakfast. As she walked down, many people greeted her with bright smiles on their faces. Many people became preoccupied with preparing the tents and memorizing the song that the lady desires for her birthday. And then came the evening.
"Oh my, it's already evening prepare the Lady." Desire said.
"Wait... my Daddy said that you don't have to dress me up in such uncomfortable clothes."
"So, what are you going to wear? My dear lady, are these dresses the source of your discomfort?".
"Well, you see, the corsets are too tight for me for a child to wear. Please may I change myself into my own dress. And I'll design it myself hehe".
Desire approved the lady's request. While Ana, her personal maid, helped her to design her dress which is comfortable for her to wear on her birthday.
Ana and the Lady emerge from the dressing room a short time later to show them the lady's dress that she made for herself. The dress is designed with many elements and gutters to allow her to show off her shape. Fluffy skirt that twirls to reveal the lily flower. Her aesthetic in the dress is reflected in her black hair, which is as dark as the sky. There will be no corsets on the dress, so she will be able to move freely. A glittering silver design, in particular, suits her to be the star of the night, especially given the "bonfire party" theme.
As the Lady appeared, many maids were dazzled by the beauty that the Lady had bestowed.
"My god my eyes, we're blessed to see such beauty".
"My Lady, your dress is as beautiful as a shining star". Desire said.
"Yes, our lady is very talented; she designed it herself, and I only helped her fit it." Ana said.
"Hehe... Is that so, let's head now to the garden, where the party will take place. Hehe... thank you for the compliment". The lady said with a wink.
She walks down to the garden, where the celebration will take place. As she walked down, there was no one in the hallway as she neared the garden. Ana and Desire, her maids. It was the one she noticed. She was dumbfounded.
"Ana, Desire where's the other workers?"
"Uhmm... I don't really know my Lady", Desire said.
"Yeah, I was surprised to see so few people and no one here either," Ana said.
It was so dark as they got closer to the main garden that they couldn't see where they were going. Later, the lady was taken aback by the fact that she didn't feel Desire or Ana beside her.
"Why is it so dark?".
"Wait, there's no one beside me"(kept touching and feeling the surroundings)
As soon as she realized it was a surprise, the lights turned on, and she felt the heat of the bonfire in the middle of the garden.
"Wait..."
She was about to speak up when she was startled. When the workers, maids, knights, and, of course, the Duke and Duchess began to sing.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Happy Birthday to you".
And then shouted.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY", said by all of them.
As the cake approached the Lady, many greeted her with bright smiles on their faces, including Desire, Ana, Thomas, The Duke, The Duchess, and other workers, all of whom were wearing priceless expressions to celebrate her tenth birthday.
As long as she was about to blow out the candle , some of her tears fell without her knowing.
"What the hell, It's not the time for crying" she thought.
"What the... Why won't you stop? That wasn't that much of a big deal though".
While she burst into tears, her father and mother approached her.
"My darling, is there a problem?".
While Lady Lambert was crying, she was so dumbfounded about the party and felt a lot of emotion inside her, she thought that planning her birthday didn't make any sense, but as soon as she realized it. She really does care for the people and for herself.
"Sniffle, nothing."
She began to hug her parents with open arms, telling them how grateful she was to have them as her parents.
"Nothing, I'm just so grateful" she said with a bright smile.
"Oh, yeah the cake, let's blow it"
"Yehey, Happy Birthday"
"Happy Birthday To you, Happy Birthday To You" the workers said.
"HAHAHAHAHAH, Thank you for organizing this party, and thank you to everyone who helped and made this bonfire party possible, even if you're not familiar with it. I hope you all have a good time.. THANK YOU," the lady said.
A while later,
"My dear, will you accompany us and your mother to the bonfire and sit with us on the mat while gazing up at the stars in the sky?" The duke said.
"Of course, anything for mom and dad". The lady said with a joyous smile.
They all looked up at the stars as they sat on the mat filled with blankets and pillows, with some of the workers sitting nearby. While the duke and duchess lay down looking up, the fresh breeze and natural surroundings put them in the mood to unwind under the stars.
"Ahh, darling, this is so nice. How did you come up with this plan?" the duchess said.
"Yes, this is so relaxing, your mother is right. Where did you learn it?"
"Well let's see...maybe some of the books that I've read?"
" I really didn't know that you had that kind of hobby", the duke said.
"hahahahha, wow our Arrie, you've grown a lot" the duchess said.
" Yes, indeed."
In a moment, they were all filled with a lot of relaxation in their minds and in their emotions. With such a good mood, Arrie couldn't help it but to sing her heart to its content. While others are left astounded.
"It falls upon the stars
It's like a beautiful night full of feathers.
I'm like a person who is a hider.
When will I get older?
And be free, how I wonder?"
"My Darling, you can sing!" the duke said.
"My god you're so good, what is the title of the song? It's the first time I've heard about it." the duchess said.
"Well... kind of, sorry the mood was just so great". Lady said.
While the others keep muttering about it.
"My, who is that?"
"Is it an Angel" the maid Sara had said.
"I heard it's the lady."
"Huh, can we ask her to sing it again?" Sara said.
"Ana, can you ask the lady to sing it again, the song that she sang, it was so good at today's party", Sara said.
"It's the lady's birthday"
With a pitiful face Sara gave a gloomy expression. And Ana can't stand it.
"Okay, hasst, only..... if you come with me to ask permission."
"Oh yes, thank you" Sara said.
They approached the lady with hesitation.
"Ahem... My... Lady... Mmmm..."
"Ana, what was it?"
"Ahmm... CAN YOU SING IT AGAIN".
"what?"
"The song"
"Ahhh.... HAHAHAHAH no need to ask it so meticulously".
" Really thank you my Lady"
"Hehe.. well I love to sing though"
"Sing my darling, okay, no one here forbids you" the duke said."
"Hehe, okay thank you" the lady said with a bright smile.
"It falls upon the stars
It's like a beautiful night full of feathers.
I'm like a person who is a hider.
When will I get older?
And be free, how I wonder?
I feel so crumpled up
But when I lookup
I feel I'm about to snap
But, I keep my hopes up.
Even if I dried inside and out..."
And then that day, while looking up in the sky, some of the workers started dancing. Enjoying the night's view, lying down, and resting for their hearth's content.
"Ahh, what a refreshing song, right Danes" the duchess said with a lovely smile.
"It is Theresa."
With the beautiful voice surrounding the garden. All of them were dazzled by the refreshing tone of the music. While the workers whispered to each other to compliment the lady's skills.
And left the lady a thought while she was singing.
"The original Lady Art Lambert, Thank You". Aline whispered.
