CHAPTER 7: Lavendula Kingdom

"Your father came from a monarch kingdom called Lavendula. I remembered on the first time I came to his kingdom, I was amazed with how all the people I have met all had purple eyes. But there were more men than women, and the women are all age 30 and above. There are also few children age 1 to 5, but there are no women near your fathers age, which was 20.

He was at the right age to become king but there is one problem, the ancestors of your father decreed that the kingdom can only be passed down to the men in the family who are already married. Your father was ready but there are no women compatible with his age so the mood of the people are sullen because they also like the prince and the king is at his deathbed. It was like there was no hope for their kingdom. The elder council have also been in a meeting for how many months on how to solve the situation. Some even proposed to send the prince in the outside world to look for his bride but was later turned down as they worry for their prince's safety.

It was not known how I came to their kingdom. From what I remember, I was riding on a boat alone for I was arranged to be married to someone I don't know and don't love. That is why I went away but because of a storm, my boat was washed away and I passed out. When I woke up, I was already on a big island, full of large trees I have never seen before in my life. They were so large that I thought they reached the heavens for I could not see their end. There were also many flowers and trees all in different shades of purple. There were dark, light, medium, lavender, purple, violet, amethyst and many others. There were also technological advancements I have never seen before like buildings and homes having trees and nature inside, cars not run with gasoline, not made of metals or whatever it is, appliances not run with electricity and many other things. They were things I have never seen before so even though I was hungry, I could not eat with those fruits I see for I do not know if they are edible or poisonous.

I was left wandering on the land for how many hours and searching for someone who can help me. It was then that I found your father, he was laying on the grass with flowers of different colors and sizes swaying with the breeze. His hands were on the back of his head and he was watching the clouds as the sun was covered with large clouds of different shapes and sizes. I was entranced with his beauty, he was like a fairy playing with nature without care in the world. I saw that he was mumbling something so I went near him to hear what he was talking about. I heard him talking along the lines of "find a girl to marry, save the kingdom, become king", I do not know what he was talking about for as far as I know, there is no king, queen, prince or princess in this world. There are only presidents, mayors, etc.

I talked to get his attention and when he looked at me, the world seem to stop. I was not able to hear anything. We were looking each other eye to eye without breaking our eye contact, we fell in love and you already know what happens next since it was always your bedtime story when you were young. "

" What I want to say is, your eyes will be too noticeable as we are the only family who have purple eyes. It is already known that our family have royal blood, we have purple eyes and our clan is mainly active in politics and business. Because of the further development of science and technology, we have found a way to open our borders to the outside world which then made our kingdom known to all.

The kingdom was converted to a tourist spot which boosted our popularity even more and where we get large amount of funds which we are using in business. Many tourists come to our kingdom because of the rarerity of people having purple eyes, also the beauty of our people, the preserved nature of our kingdom and the incredible harmony of nature and technology which was very pleasant to the eyes. We also have unique products, delicious never-before-seen delicacies and commodities."

" And the thing which separates us royals to the common people is our god-like visage, our superior genes, intelligence, our majesty, posture and grace which makes it easy for people to tell that you are one of the royal bloods in our kingdom.

" But mom, I can always wear contact lenses and I will live with grandma in Korea. I will first try to live with other people aside from our family and clan to practice how to fit with them. And since your genes from grandma are attractive, it will not give way that I am a Lavendulan as long as I keep my amethyst eyes a secret. "

" It also helps that my information are kept hidden to the world. The only thing they know about me is that my name is Ellatrise, originated from your names. They do not know that I have a second name which is Rinne that I will use in entering entertainment industry and also the name I used when I studied abroad. It was kept hidden that I am your daughter so mom, pretty please. "

" Okay, okay. You are really stubborn. No wonder you are your fathers daughter, you are both hard headed and will pursue what you want no matter what. "

" W-what? Why does when it comes to stubbornness, I am always one to blame? "

" Why, do you have anything against what I said? "

" No, honey! Of course, whatever you say is true. "

" Dad, you are so UNDERstanding!!!" hahaha.

" Mom, dad, brothers, Thank you for allowing me to pursue this dream of mine. Your the best family I could wish in this whole wide world. "

" Yes, yes, so be good and behave okay. Take care of yourself, do not let yourself be hungry in Korea. Pack some thick clothes too, it's cold there when the season changes to winter. "

" Yes, mom. "
