A Surprise Kiss

JOYCE

A few hours ago…

Joyce gazed at the water sprinkling from the huge fountain in front of her. Its trickling waters were like melody in her ears. She was also surrounded by fragrant shrubs, which scent drifted in her nostrils.

Without a doubt, she was in a magical land. But she was not expecting it to be literal, just like Evie said. 

Just yesterday, she caught Evie spying on every Edinian in the Palace. When she asked her why, she told her that she was looking for ways to prove that Edinians didn't have magic.

She remembered advising her not to think too much. But when she said that it was King Adamos himself who told her, she began to doubt.

It is cool if Edin, truthfully, is a magical land. But is she and Lady Evie in a dream then, comatose in some hospital? And is Sefro a magical person who will just vanish away as soon as she wakes up?

"You called for me, my lady," Sefro spoke from her right, making Joyce quickly glance at him.
