Chapter 6

—

The castle of Valisia was up an about a few maids and butlers kept coming in an out of Elena's room, one maid even came to Elena asking if she needed anything five times in row. They were giving a dress for her to wear not the kind she's been using for the snowy weather, Simrah walked through the door pass Elena taking her old clothes walked out the door not paying her any attention, just leaving Elena an the other maid alone. Trying to get the maid attention "don't you think this not fit for the weather?" The maid just wave it away like it was nothing to worry about an out out the door she went, leaving her with a yellow short dress that went below the knees with long sleeves that stayed at her elbows an white flats. After putting the dress on she looked out into the hallway to see if anyone was around.

Closing the door behind her with a faint click wanting to see if Isabel was all right, taking a few steps down the hallway to the room her sister was staying in she knocks lightly. A small opening of the door showing Isabel looking to see who it was, her sister was wearing a short red dress with white socks a red ankle boot shoes an a bow in her hair. Looking up Isabel smiles big "Elena!", grabbing her to come in the room was filled with blue an white coloring with some shelves for books. Following her in the room Elena saw Luna laying on the window edge, it was big for two people to sit her sister sat next Luna books laying around them. Isabel began to read the book she placed down, "I thought guys picked your rooms?" Luna looks at her "yeah till we realized that we don't have thumbs," so Skyler an Minks stayed with Gabe then.

With a smile Elena watched her sister read away, sitting down at a chair that was close by smoothing out the dress to sit. "So what you reading?" Elena asked seeing that Isabel was into the book, Isabel looks up "oh this it's called the night of Valisia." Elena turns her head a little "what's it about?", Her sister smiles "it's about some guy going on big adventures fighting giant creatures an small ones to." Blinking her eyes wow seems it's really good if her sister has her nose in the book, grabbing one of the books at her table side " tales of the giants", "song of the kings", and, "dragon up in the sky." They sat for a bit reading the books normal Elena doesn't read as much but, some strange ones to read "the old man in the frost caves."

Sitting the room for a bit Isabel migrated to the bed as Elena still sat in the chair. Flipping the pages of the book she had then heard noticeable noise, leaning back up giggling was faint. As it still giggling Elena was looking around trying to find what it was, she saw the sparkling pink glow at the bookshelves. Heading over to it an grabbing a chair to look higher at the spot, Isabel an Luna was just watching her wondering what she's doing. When moving the chair books we're thrown down below at Elena, "ouch! What was that for?" Elena asked as the pink sparkle giggling turn into a fit of laughter.

The books landed on her head more falling after the others, getting off the chair as all the books came off the shelves. Elena was confused what in the world, small snorts came after the fit of laughter. She steps back an looking to what was causing the mess, a small woman with butterfly wings with a fluff around her neck with pink hair flowing in the air. Elena looks back to her sister that had the expression of aw an amazement, off the bed an to the trouble maker. Isabel stand on the chair an looking at the woman "it's a fairy Elena!"

Rubbing her bruising head "a what?" Not really know what her sister getting at walking over to her, as the fairy was wiping away its tears of joy. Her sister was to pick up the fairy but was kicked away an flies out of her room. Sad that it went away from her Isabel hopped down from the chair, "it was in the book I was reading about." Elena puts her hands on her hips "aren't they supposed to be friendly an magical?", Isabel takes the book off her bed "yes but some can be tricksters as well." The door to the room opens it was a old butler with glasses with a simple mustache, bowing to them "my humble apologize but breakfast is ready".

The stairs in the palace was quite confusing some turn to open spaces, other turns in more hallways to who knows we're. Gabe was with them as well just wearing a blue long sleeve shirt an gray pants with black slacks. Jackwens was behind them as they looked in aw, Minks wanted Skyler to stop messing with the paintings when heading to the dining hall. Pass the double door a table with many blue lilys with white tulips, plates, silverware, and, cups was placed at the middle of the table. Taking a set at the table a maid brought out plates of food, Elena asked the maid a questioned "is the king coming down?"

A weird look was placed on the maids face "I'm sorry princess but no he's not well, he hasn't been well the pass 2 summers." Wondering what the maid meant by that but she wasn't quick to ask as the maid left them so they could eat, munching down the food that was given to them. Gabe was liking his meal Isabel was eating slowly cause of her reading the book at the table, Elena was looking at her reflection at her green soup. Was Alexzander keeping her from the king maybe he was afraid that the king would get even sicker. After the meal Elena was hunting for Alexzander she pass rooms, hallways, and stairs even asking for help many servants didn't really know.

Elena got lost for a bit till a butler had had to bring her back to her room, telling her "please don't run around with out asking for help first." Elena sat at the foot of her bed falling back into her bed, shooting back with anger in her eyes. Getting up an out the room marching to find anyone to show her we're Alexzander is, even if she doesn't find him she'll make him come to her. Portraits of many people that look of high status some of land scapes, Turning a corner she found Simrah cleaning table while holding a vase in her arm. Taking the vase from Simrah looking dead in her eyes "were is Alexzander I'm trying to get his attention about the peace papers, I want the full summary right now."

Vase was swaying in her arms as the maid try's to get it back but with no success, knowing this the maid turn around to find the prince. She race pass the stairs an into a hall down below out of sight, Elena gripped the vase tightly as she watched the maid run away. This better work cause right this only plan she has, she turns to look at a oil painting closely. A woman looking to in her 30s she had long big blonde hair an wearing a silver an blue crown, her dress was white with little blue and gold threading.

Hearing footsteps coming her way turning to the noise she saw the prince, an a few servants trying to calm him down. He was taking big steps towards her as his robe swaying behind him, walking up the steps an facing her direction. Stopping in his tracks with a mincing stare "why you causing so much of a trouble today princess Elena," standing her ground "I've been trying to find you an no one told me were you at, an not giving me a true answer." Placing his hands on his hips an looking her "well I'm here tell me what is that you dying to know, you know what scratch that I don't care just put the vase down." Lifting it higher over her head "or what" threatening to do whatever with it, the prince was hesitant on grabbing at her.

"I'm serious Elena be careful with that vase, you don't know what's it worth" Alexzander says trying to get her to put down the vase. But she just scoffed "I think know how much this vase is worth", lifting it away form him as she watched him step closer to her. But doing so caused her stumble back an dropping the vase as it shatters onto the floor. Laying on the ground Elena watch with shocked expression, as Alexzander watch with horror as the priceless vase was destroyed.
