It had been quite a day at the palace. The palace was a hub-bub of activity as preparations to celebrate the King had gone into full swing. The ballroom was being decorated, the flowers and shrubs were being trimmed to perfection and Amelia had her hands full with sorting out the menu and getting food prepared on such short notice. Everywhere was buzzing with activity and the twins could not help but wonder at the turn of events. Alicia and Alice walked to the door of the study and knocked softly. They had been summoned by the queen. "Come in." The Grand Queen said from the other side of the door. The twins opened the door and slipped into the room. "Good day, your highness." "Good day, my darlings." Grand Queen Seria said with so much glee and excitement. Alicia and Alice refrained from quirking their brow. Did they miss something? Because they couldn't place why the Queen was being to them. Oh! It had to be because of the party that was going to be held in honor of the
''Mother, are you okay? You haven't touched your food since. What's the problem?'' King Azalea asked, looking concerned. With a practiced fluidness, Grand Queen Seria smiled smoothly and placed her hands on the king's."I am fine, my king. I was just overwhelmed with the allergy episode." Grand Queen Seria smiled, making sure her face conveyed as much concern as possible. "I will go speak with Amelia immediately."She gracefully stood up from her seat and turned to the Earl and Countess of Duxin. "I am sincerely sorry about the peanuts. Be rest assured that it will never happen again.""Thank you, your Highness," the Earl replied good naturedly. The Countess nodded her response and smiled. Queen Seria wove her way through the crowd and found her way to the kitchen."Your Highness." Amelia said immediately the queen walked in. All the kitchen servants paid respect as she made her way to where the head cook was standing."Amelia, Amelia. About the allergy episode.""I am sincerely
Marline looked at the mirror and her reflection stared back at her. She had one stop before leaving on exile. The palace! Yes, the palace. She transformed into a black bird and flew away from her lair, towards the palace. 'I will take a look at those rascals before leaving on exile. I need to lie low for now and plan something spicy to act upon on my return.' She thought as she flew to the palace. She got to the palace and perched on one of the trees in the garden. There, the King and Princess sat on a bench giggling and chattering out loud about the concluded commission. Not only were they talking about the commission but the main reason for their discussion was because of the public compliment their royal mother, Grand Queen Seria, gave to Azalea. ''This is basically the happiest day of my life sister.'' King Azalea cried. ''I understand Azalea. Mother complimenting and giving you credit in public was a huge one. It's indeed the happiest day of our lives as we haven't

''Who could have done that?'' ''I have no idea ma'am.'' ''Alright you can go.'' The twins left the window and sank on the bed. ''The king has been poisoned.'' ''Why would anyone want to harm the king? This seems somewhat fishy.'' Candy said. ''Same thing I'm thinking too, Candy. I feel like this is a setup from someone who wants to put some innocent person in trouble.'' Alicia affirmed. ''Mmmn who could that be?'' Alice asked. ''That's what I can't wrap my head around Night.'' Alicia replied. ''Let's go see for ourselves and know if we can help.'' Alice suggested. The spirit guides became invisible and made for the door with Alicia and Alice, as Malia followed them behind. ''Nah, you can't come with us. Just stay back here. We will be back soon.'' Alicia said to the bird, and with that she closed the door. The twins ran on the palace floors down to the King's chambers. There, they weren't allowed to enter. ''Go back, come back later.'' One of the guards told th
''This place seems very scary and smell of horror guys.'' Alice said as they plunged deeper into the forest. ''I am beginning to have a bad feeling about this princess. How about we just turn back and go home? '' Night asked. ''Keep quiet Night. Why do you have to be a coward all the time? You know how potent the poison is and you also know that the King is dying slowly. Be brave for once.'' Candy fired back at Night. ''Let's not fight guys. Let's stick together and find the peach flower together. '' Alicia pacified the duo. They searched thoroughly for the peach flower but there was none in sight. They plunged deeper and deeper into the forbidden area. Then, they spotted a dim light from afar. ''Ugh?! Is that light? '' Night asked in surprise. ''Who could be living alone in such a forbidden place?'' Alicia asked. ''Do you two think it's a good idea to check it out? Candy suggested. ''Well I don't think it's a bad idea. Who knows, the person who lives there might k
''Tell us about it please… please… please.'' Night cried ''It's a very long dark tale, little one.'' The old lady responded, wearing a sad look. ''Please tell it to us.'' The girls pleaded. The old lady sighed and shaked her head before saying a word. ''A very long time ago, I was the Chief maid of the Grand Queen chamber. I was very radiant and beautiful as the moon like you dear ones.'' She said pointing to Alicia and Alice. ''We lived in fear of Grand Queen Seria, for she was a dreadful being. She seem to be calm now.'' She continued. ''Then one day, the wells and streams in the kingdom began to dry up. The late king sought for several ways to prevent the unaffected ones from drying, but all to no avail. They all dried and became empty.'' The old lady said. The girls listened attentively to the old lady's tale and stared at her face. 'Woah a lot happened before we were brought here.' Alicia thought. ''Ermm… ermmh! '' The old lady coughed before continuing her tale.
