Chapter 3:Music
"Do you know what's happening?"Musa asked Tecna,they were at the door of Stella's room
"I don't,she's been crying all night"answered Tecna.
Stella came out of her room a few minutes later.
"What's going on Stella?"they asked very worried
"Read this"she simply said and handed them the letter Griselda had gave her:
Here is a draft of the letter announcing Stella's father's death:
Dear Princess Stella, princess of the sun and the moon,
We regret to inform you that your father, King Radius of Solaria, has passed away. It is with great sadness that I write to tell you the king suffered a heart attack in his chamber late last night. The royal physicians did everything they could but were unable to revive him.
Solaria mourns the loss of our benevolent ruler. Your father was beloved by all our people for his kindness, wisdom and leadership over many decades. During this difficult time, the kingdom finds solace knowing he left behind a loving family to continue his legacy.
As the Princess of Solaria, your people await your return to the palace. preparations are already underway for your father's state funeral, which will be held shortly. We know this is a devastating blow and you have our deepest condolences. Please take all the time you need to grieve.
Solaria and the royal family stand with you in this tragedy. Your father's memory will live on in our hearts forever. Goddess bless and keep you, Stella. We hope to welcome you home soon.
Your loyal advisor,
Lancaster
Prime Minister of Solaria
"We are so sorry,Stella"they said and hugged her
"Thanks girls"
They told the rest of the Winx about it,they gathered at Bloom's office a few hours later:
"We will go to Solaria"announced Bloom a little angry for having to left her new position so soon
"Griselda will replace me until I return"
"My father was a great king,I miss him so much"said Stella and so they traveled to Solaria,in Alfea the rest of the teachers replaced the Winxs and gave their classes.
"Welcome to Solaria"the Queen welcomed them.
Several members of the royal family and friends gave their condolences
"My daughter,the princess of the Sun and the Moon will say some words"announced Queen Luna.
Stella was a little surprised but she tried to calm down and said:
"My dear Solarians,
It is with a heavy heart that I stand before you today. As you all know by now, we lost our beloved king and my father, Radius. He was taken from us far too soon by a sudden heart attack.
Dad was the kindest, most generous ruler Solaria could have asked for. From the moment he took the throne, he dedicated his life to making our kingdom one of peace, prosperity and joy. Growing up, I always admired his compassion for others and commitment to justice. He taught me that a monarch's duty is to lift up those in need.
Now Solaria has been robbed of his leadership, wisdom and warmth. And I have lost my greatest friend, mentor and the man I loved more than any other. Not a day will go by that I won't miss his smile, his laugh and the pride in his eyes whenever he looked at me. I am forever grateful for the time we had together, and all the precious memories we shared.
Though my heart aches with grief, I vow to honor my father's legacy by continuing the selfless work he dedicated his life to. Solaria will always be my top priority.
While Dad can never be replaced, his spirit will live on in everything I do. And I hope that together, through compassion and unity, we can help each other through this difficult period of mourning. Dad would want us to find comfort in family, friends and the beauty of our kingdom, even in our sadness.
So let us lift our heads high, as the sun still shines upon us. And let Radius' memory inspire us to spread more warmth, justice and hope across Solaria. In doing so, we will honor the great king he was. Thank you all for your love and support - it means the world to me during this time. Dad would be so proud to see how we come together in his memory. For Solaria!"
"That was so beautiful"said Flora and everyone clapped.
In the forest near Alfea the Trix were getting impatience:
"How much do we have to wait before we can ask another wish?"asked Icy.
"Just a little longer"answered the genie
"Wait…can't she ask for wishes?"said Stormy pointing at Negative Bloom
"No,creatures created by my own magic can't ask for wishes"
"Damn"said Stormy angrily
"That girl Roxy,remember what she said?"asked Darcy
"Yes,she is hurt by Bloom for not including her as one of the Winx"said Stormy
"We can use that as our favor"said Icy and they laughed.
In Solaria Queen Luna was about to give a speech:
"Citizens of Solaria, it is with mixed emotions that I address you all today. As you know, we are still deeply mourning the loss of beloved King Radius, may he rest in peace. During this difficult transition, the kingdom has shown tremendous strength, love and support for one another.
For a long time, I have had the honor of serving as your Queen alongside my husband. Ruling Solaria has been my greatest joy. However, the challenges of leading through such a tragic time have made it clear that new leadership is needed to guide us into the future.
While I will cherish all the happy memories Radius and I shared with our people, the time has come for me to step down from the throne. As you all know, Stella has proven herself a natural born leader - just, confident and full of the optimism our kingdom needs. I have no doubt in my mind that she is ready to take on the immense responsibilities of being your new sovereign.
From this day forward, I proudly announce Solaria's new Queen - Princess Stella! While I will miss governing alongside her, I could not be more thrilled or relieved to pass the crown to such a benevolent, dedicated leader. Stella embodies all the compassion, strength and vision for progress that her father held so dear.
I ask you all to support Queen Stella now, just as you have me and Radius. Her immense love for Solaria runs deeper than any ocean. Though young, her wisdom and big heart will guide our kingdom into an era of renewed hope, light and prosperity.
So it is with a bittersweet yet proud heart that I thank you for allowing me to serve. Solaria will always have a special place in mine. Please join me now in welcoming your new Queen with all the love, joy and celebration she deserves! Long live Queen Stella!"
People gave mixed reactions to the speech
"She's too young"said one of the lords
"I heard a rumor she couldn't even give a class in Alfea"said a friend of the family.
"Calm down,speak one at a time"asked former Queen Luna.
"Queen Luna"said the Lord who had spoken earlier
"Former Queen"
"Whatever,we don't think Stella is up to the role of becoming the Queen of Solaria yet,she's too young and inexperienced and she's not even married!"
"A girl doesn't have to be married to be a queen!"said Musa
"I understand your…comments Lord Maximilian,but I can assure you Stella is prepare for this role"answered the Queen
"I'm sorry… Luna,but my son told me that his cousin told him that Stella couldn't even give a class in Alfea,she gave a party instead!,she can't be our Queen yet,she's too irresponsible"said Lady Nicolassa.
"And she spends a lot in clothes"said Lord Kelvan.
Luna looked at her daughter with sad eyes and Stella felt terrible.
"We will discuss this later"said Luna,later that night,former Queen Luna offered the Winx to sleep in the castle for the night
"Thanks,former Queen Luna"they answered.
They went all to their beds at started talking about Alfea,the Trix and everything that had happened recently:
"Shouldn't Sky be here,he's a prince?"asked Aisha
"The specialist must be on a mission or something"answered Tecna
"I should apologize with Amore,I didn't believe her when she told me about the orange light"said Bloom with a sad expression
"Wait…What orange light?"asked Flora so Bloom explained what Amore had told her
"We must investigate what it was"said Tecna
"It's all so stressful,the Trix,the orange light,the Negative "me" they somehow created, being the new headmistress…"said Bloom feeling her heart racing faster
"Relax,we are here with you"said Musa
"Those persons are right,I am not ready to be the queen,I couldn't even give a class"said Stella and some tears came down her eyes
"Don't worry Stella,I'm sure you're going to be a great queen,I also thought I couldn't be a good headmistress and you support me"said Bloom and came closer to Stella to hug her,but Stella said:
"Yes Bloom,but it's not the same being the headmistress of a school that being the Queen of Solaria,you know"
"Yes,but.."answered Bloom,going away from Stella
"Also I still remember you suspended me"
"I suspended you because you gave a party instead of your class"said Bloom who was getting angrier
"We were just having fun!"answered Stella in an aggressive way
"I am the headmistress and I do what is best for Alfea,you know what?you're right,you can't be a queen,you can't be a teacher,you're a…"
"Shut up"said Stella and turned into her Enchantrix form,Bloom did the same.
"Girls,please relax"said Flora
"We are friends"said Musa
"We can talk about it,there's no need to fight"said Aisha
"You are an adult but behave like a teen"said Bloom with fire in her eyes
"You are so arrogant!"said Stella and threw a bright light to Bloom,she dodge it and attack Stella with a fireball.
Former Queen Luna,who woke up after hearing the noise,came into the room and asked:
"What is happening Winx?,I heard some noise"
"Nothing we were just having fun"said Bloom and Stella who were flying in the air
"Go to sleep,please"said former queen Luna so they turned back into human form and went to sleep.
In the forest,the genie finally announced:
"You can ask another wish now"
"Yes!"said the Trix
"I'm going to asked one"said Stormy
"Ok but be careful,it's your last one"Icy warned her
"I know exactly what to ask,of all the Winx the one that I hate the most is Musa so my wish is…"
"I am listening"said the Genie
"No more music in the Magic world!"Stormy wished
"I must warn you that fulfilling that wish will require all my energy and…"
"Whatever do it"shouted Stormy
"Alright"said the Genie
In Solaria,Musa was going to hear some music with her MP4 before sleeping but couldn't heard anything
"They must be broken"she said aloud,turned her head on the pillow and tried to sleep.
