I quickly sat up when I heard that the news was from the spy. This only meant there is news regarding Isabella. "Quickly, read it." I ordered immediately. "Yes your majesty." Kyler nodded. He lifted the note he was holding. "It says that the princess has just woken up from her six month of sleep. She seems to be in good health and doing well. The princess is still being guarded carefully by the Royal guards, the queen’s men and it is still hard to get close. But he will try to make contact."It was like a huge and heavy rock lifted from my heart. Relief has spread in my entire body. "Let me see the note." I ordered Kyler and he handed it to me. I read the note once more and now I felt joy in my heart. "She is well. She is doing well. Thank God." "That is good to hear your majesty. I am sure that the princess will be safe." Kyler gave me comforting words. "I know. She is a smart and strong girl." A smiled crept from my lips. "Is it true? Isabella is awake already?" A voice came
The next day, the queen asked me to walk with her on the palace grounds. Because it was cold outside, I was once again inside the walk in closet room full of beautiful clothes. "This dress will be very beautiful on you princess." Mary said enthusiastically.Mary was holding an all-white dress with a matching thick fur coat, gloves and boots. I was amazed with how fluffy the coat was that I stroked it. And to my amazement, it was really fluffy to touch. Mary helped me put on the clothes and escorted me outside. While walking along the corridors, I made a mental note of every corner of this place. I have memorized the way towards my mother’s room and now I have to learn how to get out of this palace walls. "Princess, the queen has assigned to you a palace servant to accompany you where you want to go." Mary said. "If you want to go anywhere, I and the palace servant will be the ones to accompany you."The queen has given me permission to roam inside the palace and also visit to my mot
"Hmph, it seems like my mood has been disrupted." Queen Fiona said. "Let’s have tea together some other time Isabella. You can stay if you want. I will be going back to rest. I feel a headache coming."And just like that the queen left the green house. The young girl looked really awkward while looking at the queen leaving. She had a sad bitter face showing. "Are you okay?" I asked her. "I-I am sorry." The young girl was startled. "B-Because of me, your tea with queen mother was interrupted. If I have known before hand, then I would have visited the greenhouse in the afternoon." "You frequent here in the greenhouse?" I tried to start a friendly conversation with her. "By the way, my name is Isabella." I gave her a friendly smile. "Sorry I forgot to introduce myself." The young girl curtsied to me. "My name is Elsa Astrid, princess of Geneva and the queen’s second child." "So you really are the queen’s daughter?" I was surprised. This young girl doesn’t have the same features a r
"Tell me Sasa, do you have magic powers as well?" I was rather curious about Elsa’s magical abilities.Even if Elsa doesn’t have the Spartan Royal Family’s distinct looks, royal blood still flows in her veins because she is my aunt’s daughter. "Well, I have magical abilities. But it isn’t something that grand." Elsa answered shyly. "It isn’t something to boast about, unlike big brother’s abilities." "It’s okay, you can tell me." I encourage her. "Well, I have earth affinity. I can grow different kinds of plants." Elsa replied. "All that you can see here inside the greenhouse is what I have grown. I am still working on plants that can survive the cold harsh weather of Geneva. The snow lilies outside is one of my successful creations."I was rather impressed with Elsa’s magic abilities. If she can work on it even more maybe this snow covering the land will be filled with green plants that can help the common people. "Your magic ability is amazing." I cheered. "If you work hard, th
[Ragnar’s POV]Days have passed by since the last report of Bob from Geneva came. After learning about Isabella waking up and is well, I had some peace of mind and was able to get a good night’s sleep after these past six months.The war against Geneva has been progressing slowly. General Austin of the navy has winning battles on water. Avalon has been gaining Genevan ports one after the other at a slow pace. As for General Gregory, he was been managing the battles in the central plains well. And for General Kelvin that has been ordered to defend the mountain passage, he was at least doing a good job. Genevan soldiers are adept with the mountainous terrain and the cold weather unlike our Avalon soldiers. And so the advice my capable advisers has given to General Kelvin has been very helpful. Defending is a lot easier with a good vantage point rather than push forward where we know we would be in a disadvantage.When I looked at the piece of paper reporting the movements of the crown p
’Knock knock knock’ "Come in." I said.The door opened and Kyler came in first. "Your majesty, Sir Philip is here." Kyler announced. After Kyler entered, Philip followed behind with Snow. Snow has long since recuperated, meaning that Isabella is in good health as well. But a familiar that is far from its master is not in best shape. They tend to be depressed and sad. "Greetings your majesty. You called for me." Philips bowed. "Yes. Please sit." I said.When Philip took his sit in front of me, Snow walked towards me and jumped up on my lap. Because Isabella is quite far, she tends to cling to a strong magic user to appease the absence of her master’s magic essence. Everyday Snow searched for me because of this.I felt sad for Snow right now. We are both missing Isabella so much. I stroke her snowy white fur and I hear her purr. "A letter came from my spy in Geneva." I started. "The letter was written by Isabella." "The princess?!" Philips was shocked at first and then smiled. I
[Isabella’s POV]My aunt Queen Fiona has started to train me using mind magic for these past few weeks. I have been practicing diligently in the greenhouse which has a considerable distance from the palace which is made with titanium.Here inside the greenhouse, I was able to practice my magic skills under ’supervision’. Guards are stationed near the entrance and both Bob and Mary were ordered to monitor me. Good thing that Bob is on my side. I still need to reel in Mary to my side as well.These past few weeks, Elsa has been accompanying me. Every day that we spend with each other’s company, the more we get closer like sisters. "I can’t believe big brother is such a player!" Elsa was fuming with anger. "What is the matter Sasa?" I asked curiously. "I was wondering why I wasn’t seeing big brother Darius these past month. I know that meeting him by chance in this huge palace is a few, but at least I can see him a few times in a month." Elsa pouted her lips in irritation. "And then I
[Isabella’s POV]Two months has passed by since I have woken up here in Geneva. I have been locked up inside the palace and haven’t been able to go out. But I have been easing my way into my aunt’s heart.I have been very good, following all my aunt’s rules. I can sense that she is starting to trust me. Just a few days ago I asked her if I can go out to see the town capital of Geneva. My aunt agreed with the condition that her assigned knights will keep watch and guard me. Of course my two servants, Bob and Mary will keep a closer watch over me as well.Currently I was with my mother inside her room. I have been visiting her every day and tried talking to her. I have told her about my life inside the palace of Wales, Father, Grandpa Marcus and Williams , and about Ragnar. I told her that I was now engaged and is about to get married to the love of my life.My mother was still reactionless, only smiling lightly towards me. Today I thought about telling her the hardships that I have fac
