A/N: sorry everyone that it took me this long to get a new chapter up and also a short one, but I had today my final exam in history….I even almost slept with my third year's history book. How pathetic…Well I pulled the "What are the similarities and differences in the working of the English and France parliament in the middle age", nice one ne? I still don't know if I have a good note for this one, but hey I have now officially one English language exam which says that I can speak this language fluently…wish I could say the same about my grammar. So let us start with this short chapter and the next one will come also later then I have my literature exams in three days…

XIII. Daughter of the Sapphire Moon part I.

The sun was setting over the kingdom of Nourasia. The people were happy and also excited then in only les then a week it would be time for the 'Celebration of the Hearth' it was bound to the legend of a tragic love, from which no one knew it was real or not, but if history or myth on this day all two moons of Nourasia turned sapphire blue and little star rain falls from the sky.

Eva stood on the balcony in her usually nightgown and looked up at the two moons. One shining pale blue the other in faint lilac color. A soft wind played with her long hair which was now reaching to her waist.

"You know that you are really beautiful in the moon light." said suddenly a voice from behind her as two arms wrapped themselves around her waist and a head rested on her shoulder as the one behind her leaned against her body. "I don't even know how I could deserve you my Earth Princess." the king whispered in her ear and Eva felt her checks redden.

"Aikka…" she said softly and the king needed to smile, he just loved the way she said his name.

"Yes Eva, what is it?"

"What is this story which is bound to the festival? I tried to ask your mom, but she was again in her dreamy-go-lucky state so I left it. She frightens me sometimes when she is like that and I swear you I saw pink stars floating around her." she said while getting out of Aikka's embrace and leaning with her back against the reeling.

"I know what you mean and to your question there is a story which is told from generation to generation and no one knows if it was reality or only a tale about the love of two people who were forbidden to ever fell in love with each other." the king said as he looked at his love.

"Wow, sounds like Romeo & Juliet." the queen said and smiled at her husband's confused look.

"It is a play that was written by a man with the name William Shakespeare a long time ago. The story tells about two households, who hate each other since centuries, but no one remembers why, but then on a masquerade ball the two youngest members of both families met and fall in love with each other."

"But didn't they hate each other like they families?" the king asked puzzled while the queen smiled.

"They didn't know who the other was when they fell in love. But even after that they love stayed strong and they married secretly, but then in a fight Juliet's cousin killed the prince's nephew in a duell with they daggers and because he was a good friend to Romeo they fought and he died. Because of this the prince didn't execute him after hearing the whole story, but banned him and in the mean time wanted Juliet's father his daughter to marry one other man so she drunk sleep potion which made her seem as if she would have died, but Romeo gets the wrong message and returns thinking that she died. In the graveyard he meets the man whom she was promised to by her father and in they fight he kills him after that he walks inside the crypt and drinks poison. After his beloved awakens she sees his death body beside her and kills herself with his dagger so that they could be together in death. And after that both families made peace." she said finishing while making a mental note to call her dad at home and ask him if he could send them a book about the play.

"Oh, this is really a tragic story." he said softly.

"Yes it is, so could you tell me the story to the festival?" she asked again.

"Yes, it would be a pleasure, but only after we get to bed." he said smiling and pointed behind his back.

Eva looked confused over his shoulder when she noticed they two daughters standing in the middle of they bedroom looking at them.

"Then come, I think the two would also like to finally hear the story." she said while giving Aikka a peck on the check when she passed him and walked inside.

The king blushed and heard his two daughters giggle. With a smile he turned around and walked inside the room to his family, which was already awaiting him in the bed excited. This remembered him at the time when he was little and wanted to hear the story. He was also sitting in the bed beside his mother while looking excited at his father who pulled up the covers and climbed in beside them and begun to tell the story about ' The Daughter of the Sapphire Moon'…

To be continued…
