It was about to reach dusk.

Celestine got down from Storm, the horse, and skulked to the gate of Moustache's mansion. She knocked the gate three times with a pause.

She peeked into the hole. Storm stood behind her and he bent his head down to follow Celestine.

She saw a man in black ragged suits and wearing a ragged hat in the front yard, taking care of the garden. ‘He’s Moustache in disguise.’

She cleared her throat to catch the man’s attention.

The man gazed at the gate.

"The Shadow from the East is surrounded by some clouds, the tornado will come probably." She paused, taking a long breath. "Afraid of being caught by the dinosaur king."

A pair of eyes appeared and peeked in the hole.

"What??? Is he just ancient or about to extinct?" It was Moustache. He asked those men, guarding and helping him to open the gate and took the horse to the stable.

"It wasn't enraptured prose as the password." Moustache complained as both of them walked to the mansion. He sighed.

"My existence could be ancient if..." Celestine looked at him, frowning. "he can't be dismissed to marry me, Moustache. I will be one of baby dolls inside his kingdom."

Celestine sighed.

"I hate to imagine it." She uttered.

They walked into the lounge room and wanted to discuss the problem, the mist had flooded inside the mind of Celestine.

“King Dragon pushed your uncle to announce the engagement with you?”

Moustache took a sword from the wall and threw one to Celestine.

She caught the sword, making a nod to Moustache’s question.

She turned around but it was one of her tactics to attack Moustache beyond his awareness.

He perfectly bounced back a few steps and could encounter the sword attack on his neck.

Their swords sounded clattering each other as they both practiced.

“If you reject his proposal it means you will be ready to take a revolution.” Moustache pushed the sword to Celestine’s chest but she delayed the attack, holding back it with her sword.

Moustache took two steps to give her some intensely attacks.

Celestine tried to pull those attacks, she held her breath at the moment Moustache bounced down the sword in her hand.

“Do I have a choice?”

She took the sword from the floor and gave it back to Moustache.

“He’s sort of King with obsession of power controlling.”

She seated and grabbed the glass the female attendant of the mansion had prepared on the table.

“You know how it will effect to our kingdom, if I agree with him, to be one of his mistresses? My father is still being isolated for his health issue.” Stopping to drink, coldly throwing her sight away.

“It means that I surrender the kingdom fate to a tyrant King, after the kingdom will be taken away from King Othello, my step uncle.” Celestine rose from the seat and walked to the window. Standing there. “The ambition of my step uncle, could make savor of resentment.”

Moustache took a deep breath. “What is your plan?”

Celestine scoffed and breathed in more deep inhale. “I need to play with time to make some delays.”

Moustache wiped his chin after hearing it. “Delays only make your uncle taking your father’s power for his own throne longer than we expected.”

Celestine hit the stare at Moustache. “I will run from the kingdom while we think about the strategy, how to take people’s power against my step uncle. We can strategize the attack while I am in my hidden place, away from King Dragon’s ears and radar.”

She vacuumed a fresh air. “There must be reason why my father, built The Squad. You know about it, Moustache.”

Moustache turned his head. “The Squad is the most loyal men of the king. We’re prepared to die for this kingdom, king Victor and his family members to our last drip of blood.”

He rose. “Since the king is not available to communicate with us, we are standing by your side, Princess Celestine, we are ready to take your commands.”

Celestine stared at him without any blinks. There was dusty clouds in her eyes. “I don’t have many words to say but I do appreciate it with all my heart.” Her voice sounded wavering as her heart wanted to jump in hearing Moustache’s confession. She just gulped to realize.

“What is your advice for me? To delay saying yes for King Dragon’s proposal?”

Moustache smiled at her. “A special recipe to change your destiny. Bouche du Mer….”

Celestine grinned. “Sound great!”

    Three hours before the dinner invitation in the palace… “Are you sure, Princess Celestine? It will change your skin tone,” she paused and examined the bottle potion in her hand, “Becoming freaking blue…” she turned her sight back to Celestine. They were inside the dressing room and Ersa prepared the dress with its accessories, Celestine was quite flapping for the dinner moment. She squinted her eyes as Celestine studied the notes from Moustache on a table. Celestine stopped reading and turned her head at Ersa. “That’s the point.” She said and nodded as a sign of agreement at the time Ersa showed her a red dress. Ersa sighed, bringing it to Celestine. “Hope you’ll be fine then.” She saw Celestine drinking the potion all. The hall was crowded with the king’s guests. The dinner time would be held and left for counted time.

    Celestine was chuckling, bumping herself with the face hit on the bed. Ersa was standing by the bed, looking at her, she put the princess’s shoes off. Celestine’s body was shaking because she kept laughing. Ersa waited for her to flip over so she could change the dress that princess was wearing as she draped a night dress on her arm. Celestine put off the diadem with tiny diamonds in both sides from her forehead and handed it to Ersa as she got up, taking a seat by the bed. “If you see King Dragon’s expression that time, he looked particularly good to be fooled.” Celestine stopped chuckling. She jiggled her head as she didn’t believe with she saw from a strong man and he was also known as a king with fiercely controlling power among the empire. Ersa lifted one of her eyebrows. “But you must be careful Princess Celestine, he isn’t stupid.” She started undressing Celestine and changed the princess’s dress into a sheer satin made night dress for taking a rest. She gasped

    It was a few moments after the announcement of his engagement was cancelled due to prior unexpected events. King Dragon sniffed, sneezing many times after a cat had walked passing him. His steps were rushing to reach the spot where he would be staying during his visit in the Sapphire Island Kingdom. ‘Damn, why my acute allergies come back again? Was it because of Celestine’s condition? What illness does she carry? Was it infectious? How come did she change to become blue like that? So scary…yes, as a lady, she seemed so scary in that look.’ King Dragon wiped his nose that it started running. He turned around and stopped walking. He saw another black and white small animal was sneaking from the plants growing inside the palace’s garden. He tried to stay away but it seemed the cat was running to escape from that other cat. He nearly kicked the other cat away, separated them from getting to fight. “No, don’t do it, my king. We are going to have a disaster. It’ll ru

In other side of the Sapphire Island Kingdom, inside the most expensive and luxurious accommodating place for some important guests taking rest, King Dragon couldn’t sleep at all. In his balcony, he was enjoying his glass of wine and his mind was exploring the reason. ‘That tiny cat had me really with her foolish game. Did she try to fool me? For what? Is it because of that young man? Or is it because she wanted to make a fun at me since she knew that I have desires, temptation for her?’ He sipped his wine and then, shaking the glass. ‘Jacques. A talented young boy in music…I saw him was kissing her forehead at the harbor.’ ‘She is so cute, rebellious and challenge me to defeat her and taste her after that, then throwing her like a piece of meat to the other wolves. I should be the first one to taste her body.’ ‘What made her so different from any

    Madam Victoria entered the room. Wrapping in her crème tone long dress, that mature woman, younger couple of years than King Dragon. Her feathered hat was beaming as she moved her head. “My Lord.” She half bowed in the man’s sight. King Dragon stopped writing something and looked at her. “Yes, Victoria. What do you want to talk my dear?” He continued writing again, waiting for her to speak up. “Is it about your trading ship?” He kept writing and ignored the woman walking to approach his working desk. “Is it the only matter you concern of? Is it all about my mercantile wealth to support you, my King? All kind of matters to you? All above others than my deepest considerate concern of other rest matters instead of yours?” She waved her fan and swayed in more elegant manner.

Ersa had put Storm into the stable. They both then walked into the castle. Under the candle light and a torch hang over the wall, the two of them took a seat and was ready to have a dinner in the dining room. It was a very plain dinner for any noble family members. There were two pieces of bread, two bowls of leftover soup. “I do apologize that all of we’ve got for your dinner.” A woman came out from the kitchen and served them the dishes. Celestine beamed at her. “How about you? How about the soldiers and the families who living in this castle? Have they got their own dinner?” She looked at the dishes and sucked the air into her lungs as she felt grateful, something she learned from the time, changed her spoiled attitude towards different perspective in looking at life she spent so far. “If you

Oliver’s brunette hair was being messed up by the wind. He looked at King Dragon with his squinted eyes as the wind played his hair, covering his eyes. “What’s matter, Young Man?” King Dragon began to walk to the porch and waited for a lady attendant to serve him a morning drink.

    Celestine stepped forward and she sheathed her swords. Some creaking sounds as if something was walking on some scattered dried twigs and branches on the ground. She kept waiting for something to come approach. It held tension, she felt her blood streaming faster in her vessels, her heartbeats thudded so faster than they were before. She bit her lips and gripped her sword tightly. A shadow of a man sneaked out from the hedges in front of her. Celestine gasped. She kept waiting. “You again?!” she hissed as a young man came out behind the hedges. His face was quite familiar…and his unfamiliar scent too.
