1 Chapter 4: Krystel's New Room
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
In Fanelia's great castle, Krystel was being shown around. The King and Aria talked quietly between themselves, while Krystel and Queen Hitomi walked together infront.
'So, um, this is a beautiful palace you have' said Krystel, straining for something to talk about. In fact, Krystel had plenty to say, but she was so speechless about all the things that had just happened to her, she found it quite difficult to string two words together, let alone build up an intelligent conversation.
'Yes, it is quite nice isn't it,' replied the Queen, 'I've lived here for about 18 years'
'Wow, really, since you were, what, 17?' asked Krystel.
'Yes, 17, but that was a long time ago.' A glint of memories shimmered in the beautiful woman's eyes. 'Anyway,' she stopped abruptly, outside a great mahogany door, elaborately engraved with silver and emeralds, in patterns of beautiful angels. 'This is your room.'

Krystel was astonished. The door opened to reveal a luxurious en-suite room, with a huge double bed, decorated in creamy white and emerald green, elaborate chests and cupboards, and a window overlooking what Krystel later discovered to be a wonderful garden of many colours, with their intoxicating smells wafting into the room. She was absolutely overjoyed! Krystel had never seen such a place. She stood frozen at the door, her eyes glittering with happiness.
'Is, is it really mine?' was all she could mutter.
'Yes, it's all yours. It always has been and always will.' Krystel was too occupied to even wonder at the meaning of these strange words. She had rushed over to a huge white wardrobe, and was now examining the interior. Beautiful dresses of white, cream and emerald hung in rows. All were made of pure silk. One of them caught Krystel's eye. She took it out of the wardrobe and instantly fell in love with it. It was a snow white, long, sleeveless gown, with no shoulder straps or anything.
'Go on, put it on.' Said the Queen's voice behind her. Krystel couldn't believe it. She went behind a screen, took off her old rags, and slipped on the dress. She was careful to put her feather in a little slit inside the dress. The dress' soft material flowed over her milky skin, and the intricate design round the bottom, like a fine rope of emeralds, glimmered in the moonlight. She didn't know it herself, but Krystel looked beautiful. The Queen walked over to where she was standing.
'King Van and Aria have left to do some last minute preparations for the party,' she said.
'Party, what for?' asked Krystel, who was still absorbed in the dress, twirling this way and that.
'Why, you ofcourse' laughed the Queen softly. At this Krystel looked up.
'For me?!' she couldn't possibly understand why anyone would want to throw a party for her.
'Yes, for you, so we'd better hurry. Would you like me to do your hair for you?' the Queen asked kindly.
'Um, yes please, if you don't mind.' So as the Queen Hitomi styled Krystel's hair, she told her about some of the people coming to the party.
'There's Allen Shezar, King of Asturia, and his wife, Queen Millerna. There's my father, the King of Zenba, Prince Chid of Freid, oh it's going to be nice seeing them all again. And they're all looking forward to seeing you, too. Well, your hair's done.' After only five minutes, Krystel opened her eyes to see a totally different person looking back at her from the mirror. The Queen had taken Krystel's hair out of it's usual ponytail, and somehow, though how Krystel did not know, made her hair into beautiful long, golden ringlets, intertwined with white ribbons and emerald. Queen Hitomi took the flower that Aria had given Krystel, and slipped it behind Krystel's ear. Krystel looked stunning. She looked a lot like the Queen actually, both their green eyes shining with pleasure and beauty.
'Come, or we'll miss the ball!' stated the Queen. And with that Krystel slipped on a pair of shoes that matched her dress, and they rushed out of the room and down the stairs, to Krystel's Honorary Ball.
