Chapter Eleven

Sarah was an old fairy. She was more or less like a godmother to Samantha. She had the heart of an angel, one of the only best people in Samantha's life at the moment.

" Ahh, the two beautiful princesses of Vandamore. What a sight."She smiled." " Your Majesties," she curtsied

" Sarah, you know you don't need to do that. Well, I didn't know about Miss Green limbs here, " Sam said.

Rosella scoffed and said, " Miss Sarah, how're you feeling. I heard that you've been ill for a while. I bet your dearest goddaughter was too busy to have noticed it."She looked at an already confused Sam.

" You were sick?" Sam asked.

" I am fine now, your ladyship,"sarah replied with another smile.

" How come I didn't know?"

" Of course you wouldn't," Rosella hissed, "Miss Sarah, i would love to take my leave now. I am scheduled to attend a court meeting with the ladies along with my mother, "

" Well, I was actually looking for you to tell you that your mother called for you." Sarah said. " Well, I guess I will take my leave now..... but before I take my leave. Sarah?"

"Yes, Your Highness?" Sarah curtsied in obeisance.

" As a trusted servant in the castle, I would like you to tell me if I do look okay to meet the ladies Sarah smiled before she answered, " You're always looking beautiful, your Highness "

" Thank you, Sarah. surely I wouldn't want anyone looking better than I do, even if it was just for a court meeting,"

" Well, in my opinion, I think you look like a lost frog," Sam said with every bit of mischief in her voice.

Rosella rolled her eyes, " Oh well, Sam. I really didn't expect anything good from you. You're a bad mirror. "

" Thanjs, Rosella. At least a mirror reflects ugly as ugly and can see them very clearly.

Rosella greeted her teeth angrily, and tight one would think they would break. Then she sighed and smiled, " You know what? I'd trust Sarah's opinion. "

" You're very beautiful and elegant, my lady. However..... Just one more thing, " Sarah said as if she was waiting for her cue. " What's that?" Rosella asked.

Sarah then brought out her magic wand and used her magic to redo Rosella's hair into a beautiful beaded bun, which was decorated with magic pearls. It was so beautiful. Sarah's flow of magic was exactly the same colour as her wings-Violet.

Well, witches could be beautiful, too, at least in Rosella's case.

" Thank you, Sarah." Then she left.

Immediately, the door shut behind Rosella, Sarah turned towards Samantha with a mischievous face.

" I know that face, Sarah. What is it?". Sarah smiled as she saved the stress of explaining why she had brought a particular news..

" You have to get dressed, too,"

" Me? Why?

" The queen requests your presence at the meeting with Prince Kucas of Audinburgh."

" What? Prince Lucas!? Isn't that Rosella's fiancé. Why do I have to be present? What does Alex need my presence for? I thought she had a court meeting? Their meeting has nothing to do with me. "

" Dear, dear, I know you do not like tital gatherings like this, but this is the Queen's order, and Rosella doesn't know she's meeting with her prince yet. The schedule was changed. I would have told her, but I didn't want to make her nervous. "

" Pfft. That still has absolutely nothing to do with me." she said in between mouthfuls of cookies she found in a closed pan on the kitchen.

" Well, you have no choice. It's an order from the queen herself. If you decide to rebel, , you'll be punished, and that means...." she trailed off as she took one lore cookie that was about to be muched to death from Sam's fingers, ".....no more midnight cookies for you. "

Sam definitely looked defeated. She had a disgusted look on her face. " Alright, alright, I'll go dress up jow. Besides, she can't just order my presence. You request for people's presence, " she said mischievously.

" lesson for today, Princess, a request made by a queen is no more considered as a request but an order." Sarah said.

" Sarah!?" Queen Alex suddenly came in.
