Chapter 1
I look up at the beautiful castle of Arendalle. My family had just moved here from Corona and I was detriment to work in the castle, be it a maid, and cook, gardener, guard, anything will do. I just want to see the Princess and Queen. I think to myself and enter the big doors to the court yard. Wow this garden is beautiful! My mind screams. A man walks to me and I compose myself. "You must be Miss Arengard?" He asks and I nod. "Yes, that's me, you must be Kai?" I ask. He chuckles and nods. "That's right Miss Arengard. Did you have a job in mind?" He asked with a kind smile. "I was thinking a gardener? This garden is so beautiful, I'm sure I can add more beauty to it," I say bashfully and he seems pleased. "We have been thinking to get another gardener, it is hard work keeping it up," he says and we discus arrangements.
Now I am living in a small room just outside the garden that is housed for the gardeners and maids. I was so excited to work in the garden I had woken up before dawn. I checked myself in the mirror. Arendalle could get really hot in summer and they were in the middle of it now. I wore shorts and a sleeveless top. I didn't put in shoes because it was a garden! I wanted to feel the grass and sand between my toes! I know it's not lady like to show ankles, but I don't care. It also wasn't lady like to have your hair short like a man's, yet here I am. Only thing to give away my gender were my breasts, otherwise I was built like a boy, despite being 20. I bounced on the balls of my feet as I waited for clock to strike 8. As soon as I heard the ding-dong I exited my room and started on the roses.
It was midday and I was drenched in sweat. I wipe my brow as I look at the last bag of fertilizer I had carried to the flower bedding near the fountain. My muscles tightened and glinted in the sunlight as I stretched. After hearing and feeling that satisfying pop my joints made I relax and smile. Resting my hands on my hips I look up at the castle. It sure was lovely. I stopped near the right wing of the castle as I caught a flash of white. Squinting I bring up one hand to cover my eyes to block out the sun. My eyes widen and mouth drops as I notice it's the Queen. She sees me looking, well, gaping, at her and soon she's gone from the window.
She is beautiful.
She's a beautiful creature.
I smile to myself and continue working on the garden. I might be weird and crazy, but I like to talk to the flowers as I water them. Studies have shown that plants that are talked to grow faster than those that aren't. I chuckle to myself. What a loud of crap. It's the extra carbon dioxide that makes them grow faster. Then again, I'm just a peasant that can only read and write I have no education. I did have a glorious garden when we were still in Corona.
"Miss Arengard?" I nearly jumped out of my skin when I heard a small voice behind me. I turned to look at a maid. "Sorry for scaring you," she chuckles and I smile. "No worries, can I help you?" I ask her as I wipe my dirty hands over my pants. "Would you like a beverage? It is tea time," she says and I notice the glasses of water she's holding on a silver platter. I smile and take a tall cold glass. "Thank you ma'am," I say and down the delicious water before putting it back on the tray. She chuckles again and starts walking to the other 3 gardeners. "My pleaser cutie," she whispers and I blush. I quickly get back to work glancing up at the castle window now and then.
I dropped onto my bed, exhausted. I didn't even have the energy to take a bath. My muscles hurt and I had a nasty tan. The tan was useless though, it will be gone by first light. I could never sport sun-kissed skin like others. I've been teased about it so often, been called a vampire and such. I'd always scoff when they said that and promptly reminded them that vampire catch fire in sunlight. They would get flushed and I'd end up with a bruised shin or shoulder. It has been a week of none stop gardening. These people had no clue how to take care of a garden properly. All they did was water them I'm sure. I had fertilized all the beddings and trimmed the hedges. I even put up some wooden planks so trees could grow straight. I even went the extra mile and added water lilies to the pond. The ducks seemed to like that and the fish's. I had done all this work and only our caterer seemed to complement me about my work. The others just glare at me for up staging them. With a groan I force myself up and ready a bath. The warm water was nice and relaxing to my muscles. I finished my bath and went to bed. Tomorrow was another day.
