Note: Been a very busy time for me. So I thank you all for your patience in waiting for me to get inspired to update this fic. :)
Hetty and Granger had been invited to attend the crowning of Angelic Light's new king, Arkady. And there was talk of Hetty possibly having a big role in the ceremony.
'Rumor has it that if the new king isn't able to fire the flaming arrow through the Angel coin the night before, that Hetty could fire it since she's so skilled at firing arrows.' Luke said.
'You sure of that? Because princesses don't usually take part in these things.' Granger responded.
'Hetty is not your ordinary princess, sir. Surely you'd know that by now.'
In the almost 8 and a half months since he met her, he was still adjusting to that fact.
The party the night before the coronation was pretty rowdy.
'Some party, huh Henrietta?' Arkady.
'Huh. Too crazy for me. And I think deciding to have the whole castle painted with fake gold is very tacky.' Hetty bluntly replied.
'What?! Come on, you don't know good taste when you hear of it!'
'My mother's castle is much better then yours!'
Before they could bicker even further, it was time for Arkady to fire the flaming arrow.
The large coin with angel wings was on a high platform, and on the other side of the field were a bunch of smaller hearts on platforms lined up to form a giant heart.
Arkady fired his shot, and was way off. He fired another, and also bluffed that as well.
'Oh for Heaven's sake!.' Hetty muttered, then walked out onto the field, took the flaming arrows, aimed one, and fired…
..At the hearts, and all of the hearts lit up to show a giant flaming heart.
Everyone was very stunned and in awe at the beautiful sight.
'Sir… I heard a legend about this place that, if you shoot a flaming arrow into a row of hearts, it means that she wants whoever she's in love with to love her!' Luke whispered.
'Is that true?' Granger asked.
'I asked around, and it's quite accurate with most married couples!'
'Huh? If that's the case, then who could she be in love with?'
