"Every year on the last day of March we have the Spring Festival, also know as First Bloom Festival. Its a very important moment of the year because its the perfect time to remind all those around you how much you love them. We do it by giving flowers, each flower has a speacial meaning and sometimes color changes the meaning of the flower you are giving.

Roses have three meanings, white roses mean first love. Pink roses are for couples who are engaged to give to each other and red roses are for married couples to exchange. Narcissas mean unloved, jalouse and proud. They are given to those you are are in love with but know and accept that they will never love you back.

Then comes the bonds of siblings and parents, a child will give his/her parents light color tulips and the parent will offer their child dark colored tulips. Siblings will give each other a single lilie of a color that they feel represents them very well, to remind their sibling of them.

Last but not least, daisies represent friendship and loyalty. A single bloom is to be give to one's friends and a whole bouquet is given to one's bestfriend."

"I understand now! Thanks Konrad!" Yuuri smiled as he rubbed the back of his head.

"I'm just glad you could make it to this year's festival, you missed it for the last three years heika." The man smiled as Yuuri went to the nearest flower selling stall.

"Well I'm glad too! Now call me Yuuri and lets go join everyone else!"

The rest of the royal family and their close friends was in a terase of an inn that Lady Celie had rented for them all. She, herself, was sitting at the large table, wearing a crown of white tulips, pink tulips and yellow tulips given to her by her sons with one dark purple lilly at the center from her brother (who was not present but at still sent flowers), she also had many daisies bouques and narcissas. Annissa was talking with her, holding a large bouquet of pink roses and had a few single daisies at hand as well as a bright pink yellow lilly from her brother. Gwendal was standing still, his hands on Wolfram's waist as he held the blond who was attaching a white lilly to his brother's front poket, he also had a pink rose from Annissa, tullips from his mother and another lilly from Konrad. Greta had on her head a crown of dark red tulips from her papa as well as arms full of singe wrapped daisies she had been offer by everyone in the royal family, the little girl turned to wave at her father and the soldier.

"Yuuri! Where are my flowers! I've been waitting for you!" She and Wolfram called out towards the king at the same time.

"I'm here! I had to go and get them you know!"

Yuuri hurried to hand Conrad and everyone else a single daisie as well as a accept a dark purple lilly from Conrad on Shori's behalf. Finaly he turned towards his daughter and fiance who had been waitting. He handed Greta a dozen dark orange tullips before accepting a light pink tulip. Wolfram smilled a little as he moved forwards after his daughter had stepped aside and the prince attached a fat pink rose to his fiance's uniform before stepping back to admire his handy work. Yuuri smiled and pulled out from behind his back the large bouquet of...daisies that he had gotten for his bestfriend.

Everyone was silent as Yuuri started to explain that he gotten him daises because he had gone with his feelings and not with his title as fiance. Of course that didn't do him any good at all. So after having screamed and cried at Yuuri, sending him into an infernal guilt trip, Wolfram stormed away with the bouque still at hand.

In the dramatic comedy of life, you may find yourself been the last one standing alone at the end of the day, with a bouque of daisies at hand.
