Chapter II: The flowers of the princess.

Arrived at the main garden of the castle, Celya was smiling. Yes, she was smiling, she smiled with a beautiful, benevolent and radiant smile, she was so proud of her work.

In fact eight months ago Celya had planted several varieties of plants in the strong hope that one day they would flower and form hearts as she had planted them.

And today that day had finally arrived. Hence his huge smile.

She was so proud of it that she could not help but want to inform her sisters and her mother who had witnessed it before, not forgetting, of course, to bring it to them.

So she went first to her mother, the flowers picked by hand.

Arrived at the meeting room she knocked on the door, She knocked at least three times and after the third time she decided to enter. Unfortunately for her, her mother was very busy with her advisers, talking to her about the increasingly critical blacksmith situation.

Indeed for several days the peace of the four kingdoms had been threatened by the strike of the blacksmiths. If at the beginning we did not take them seriously, we must admit it. They subsequently in some way, succeeded in meeting and in a total strike threatening not only the tranquility of the four kingdoms and the armed supply of the royal army.

Faced with this somewhat delicate situation, delicate because none of the blacksmiths wanted to negotiate with the queen or any member of the court, many proposals were put forward. And for the first time even Kayla could not solve it.

In short, the young Celya, not being familiar with this kind of gathering, humbly apologized for having interrupted them and then quietly left the room not without a last bow.

Despite the fact that she could not show her finds to her mother, She still promised herself to come back later to show them to him but in the meantime she said to herself that she was going to go to a person much more accessible and easy to find, which means go see Kayla. Indeed everyone knew where to find Kayla. She was the most predictable of all her sisters. And also the most intelligent. However from time to time she often hesitated between herself and Layla question intelligence. Finally, the time was not for reflection but rather for demonstration.

Arrived at the large library, she went directly to the history part where were classified all the books talking about the history of the four kingdoms because a few days ago Kayla confided to her that she wanted to know a little more about the history of the kingdom.

To his amazement there was no sign of her there. Undeterred by this she walked to the other parts of the library in the hope that her sister might have changed her mind on the subject she wanted to study. She searched: the part dedicated to war weaponry, the part dedicated to good manners and the art of living, the part dedicated to war strategy. In short, she made all the shelves of the library with success. After a while she therefore ends up giving up and heading towards her little younger sisters Dahlya and Dhelya but promising herself to look for Kayla later.

Knowing them well, she suspected that they would be difficult to find because for a few years, two more precisely, she had started to become shy or even lonely. Always looking for places to get in and have fun with each other, or to play tricks on the employees of the castle, real little pranksters! Their mother would say.

But equal to herself Celya did not plan to give up.

She first began her research with the kitchen, knowing them they are surely bothering Anya their housekeeper. Anya was like a second mother for the princesses because during the hard period of mourning for their father, the queen herself being affected had not been able to fulfill her duties towards her daughters and had ended up entrusting them to her, Anya Fray their housekeeper and cook for years.

Anya was as sweet as she was straight she didn't let anything go and was always there when the girls messed up, especially the twins.

Unlike Nayla, she never shied away from berating them. She was sort of the iron fist of the family because yes to everyone she was a full member of the family.

All that to say that Anya could be an ideal target to play a trick for the twins.

And it was with this last thought that Celya opened the door to the castle kitchens.

As usual there was a warm atmosphere filled with hubbub coming from the maids and kitchen boys of the castle each of them was busy with a specific task because it was soon to be lunch time and with the presence of council members,

Anya must have asked some of the maids for help. In the midst of this crowd of people, she noticed two small blond heads bowed under the scolding of a very angry woman.

True to herself, she walked towards them smiling.

- From what I see, the girls bothered you again Any '.

- Yes, these two little ones are unbearable! She almost messed up the kitchen! She said still annoyed.

- We're sorry Any '

they said in the same small voice.

- Don't scold them too much, look at them, they look really sorry. She said in Anya's direction.

- Yes yes Any 'we apologize! We promise we will do it again! They launch, obviously making their angel heads.

- You see, she apologizes. She said, imitating the head made by the binoculars.

- It's okay, it passes for this time but I do not take you back! You're lucky your sister is here or you wouldn't be out of the kitchen until all the cutlery and plates were clean.

Hilare Celya said to herself that given the expression on Anya's face, she could not be more serious and given that of the twins, they really did not want to do this task.

A few minutes later here they are all three out of the kitchen, chased by the front by their housekeeper.

This story almost made Celya forget the purpose of her coming to the kitchens. Excited as a flea she quickly stopped her sisters who were heading towards their neighborhood. Always in possession of her precious flowers. She handed them to her sisters.

Dahlya and Dhelya were at first surprised but after a while they realized that the flowers that were handed to them were camellias and peonies. Magnificent flowers that have never been part of the royal gardens because considered too showy and too colorful by the florist of the castle, were those that Celya had seen during a visit of the people to a couple of peasants and of which she had requested their seeds for planting in the castle gardens.

- Oh my God don't tell me that- Dahlya began.

- It's the seeds of the man from the big city. Dhelya then finished.

It was always like that with them, either they spoke at the same time, or one spoke for both or they finished the sentences of the other.

- Yes ! She almost yelled.

- But it's great Lya '...

Dhélya said again.

- Yes they are beautiful! His sister ended.

Celya was delighted to find that her sisters were so interested in her plants, so much that she handed them some

- Here are some of my favorites.

- Thank you Lya, they are beautiful!

- It made me happy I'm really proud to have believed it. Now I have to go. I have to show them to others too and give them some!

- Okay ! Said the little ones at the same time.

Only just as she was about to separate from the twins, she remembered that a few moments ago she couldn't find her sister Kayla. So she turned and called out to her sisters again.

- hey girls wait! She shouted towards her sisters who were almost walking away from the hallway.

- Yes ? They say turning to Celya.

- You wouldn't have seen Kayla by chance, she was not in any library in the castle when I tried to show her my flowers? She asked them.

- The last time we saw Kayla, she was heading to her rooms. She seemed disturbed by the way ... well you will excuse us Lya 'but we have other pranks to do!

- It's curious, yet she usually spends all her time in libraries, but thank you. Please be careful this time or stop .... This is an option too ..

She said, trying to reason with them anyway.

- Okay Lya '! See you later ! We will be careful, we promise! They scream as they run.

And so Celya resumed her journey towards the apartments of her learned sister accompanied by her eternal smile, and of course by her magnificent plants.

A day like any other with sweet Princess Celya Myria Winter Farrell of the Four Kingdoms of Kalerya.
