Found Sleeping Beauty (4)

"I think this is the safest place," I stared at the tall bush blocking the view from the other side.

"Maybe the garden is the best place," Sienna saw how our improvised bed was perfectly hidden.

The only problem was how each of us was going to sneak out into the garden without getting noticed. In a sense, this was harder than going to the second floor. I sighed as we also needed to get rid of the bed once it was near lunchtime.

"We should go back to Henry and decide who's going to take the first turn," I carefully watched if anyone was inside the garden.

"The back entrance is locked," Sienna frowned.

I moped with her as it meant we would have to get back through the front entrance. I dusted off the leaves that got on my dress as I hoped Alice and Ben wouldn't notice us passing through. Unfortunately, Alice smiled like she was wondering why we were re-entering the banquet hall when we were near the end of the line.

"Alice will be too busy greeting the other guests," Sienna comforted me.

"What brings you to our event?" Alice asked us why we were outside the ballroom when we were in front of the line.

"The garden is really beautiful!" Sienna pretended to admire the garden.

"In fact, we weren't the only ones there," I bluffed.

"Should we also visit the garden?" the partner behind us wondered.

"It must be better than the banquet hall," the people behind them agreed.

Both Alice and Ben froze as some people in the line left to visit the garden instead. Nobody bothered to decorate the garden as everyone focused on making the ballroom perfect for the guests. It was just an ordinary garden that was well-maintained by the servants like any other household.

The situation seemed to turn for the worst as half of the long line left to join the others. I immediately messaged Luke to call some waiters to the garden. Not a second passed as I got a message back that the servants were placed everywhere around the garden to serve the drinks. Although it created a mess, it was the perfect excuse for going to the garden often now.

"We also need some tables," I turned to Alice.

Ben got the signal from Alice and immediately sent a message to the servants to bring small tables to the garden. Now all we needed was a cover up to make it seem it was intentional. Abandoning our original plan, we tiptoed towards the garden to fix the mess.

"I have some flowers leftover. We can use the wind spell to make them rain down from the sky to let them remain in the air afterwards," I quickly explained my plan.

"How are they going to remain in the air?" Sienna followed me towards the less exposed parts of the garden.

I brought a few mini toy fans out that I had hidden from Luke. When I went to the third district last time, I had also purchased some of these from the hotel gift shop from nostalgia. If I added a wind spell while the fan operated, it wouldn't be that hard to have the flower petals floating until the batteries died.

I placed a fan on the flat ground, hidden from sight from placing it near the hedges and pressed the button. I reached out my arms to chant a wind spell while Sienna started to pluck all the flower petals. When the fan began operating, the flower petals shot up into the sky, making it appear it was raining down on the guests.

"Let's go to the next spot," I whispered to Sienna while the guests were distracted.

Sienna nodded her head as we rushed to another spot in the garden. Soon, we finished setting up the decorations. We stood near the back of the garden, watching the guests look at the floating flowers and its petals fluttering in the air. Since we got lazy near the end, we decided to just separate the flower from its stem. As a result, we appeared like we were inside another world where some flowers levitated while glowing the faintest amount of light from our last-minute idea to make the garden appear more appealing.

"The neutral fraction really outdone themselves this time," the guests admired the innovative idea.

"It's almost better than the ballroom," one of the guests enjoyed the sight.

"I did wonder why some people messaged to come out of the ballroom," the person told them about her dilemma before she came.

"I think it's better than the ballroom. Where else would we get to enjoy something like this?" someone disagreed.

Both Sienna and I guiltily looked at the empty line as everyone chose to come directly to the garden instead. I guessed the decorations were pretty fancy, grabbing someone's attention as soon as they were near the location. Ben left Alice to handle the empty line on her own as he wondered what was going inside the garden.

It was most likely everyone saw what was happening inside the garden from above in their hover cars. Ben's jaw almost dropped as he stared at the scene in front of him. Since we got more ideas while placing lights inside the flowers, we decided to make them change colours. This was why the area surrounding the garden flashed different colours every few minutes.
