1958 Words
A loud banged from the door made the five year old Shenaria wake up from her peaceful dreams.
She was annoyed but still decided to get up and walked head to the door to see her annoying guest early in the morning.
A young girl almost the same age as her with blonde curly hair and green eyes shows her smiling face and greeted her " Good morning Aira","Let us play" the girl happily said.
This girl is her self-declared friend Loella, after seeing her just two days ago in the park where she used to play alone.
She approached her introducing herself and began to declare that she is now her friend.
Her jaw dropped after she heard that declarations.
She found an opportunity to put candy in her mouth and said that the friendship is now sealed.
She saw her guards approaching her location and ordering them not to show.
SInce she is in the park to play and she is not a princess but an ordinary child at the moment.
Her guards back off and hide again, she saw the child grinning and asked her name.
She introduces herself as Aira, her nickname her mom made for her.
She got it from her original name of Shenaira.
She grabs her hands and shakes it.
Loella looks like a puppy as her eyes are twinkling and explained to her that she is also her first friend and wants to play with her.
Loella grabbed her hand and brought her the sand box.
She tells her story about herself, her parents and how she got in the park. Based on her story she was the only child of her parents and they are always busy.
So she is always alone in their house, she always plays alone in the park and goes home before the sunset.
She is still smiling while telling me her stories, but she felt the sadness of her voice, she looks really lonely, she felt sad for her.
Inside her mind she accepted her friendship.
SInce she and Loella were almost the same.
Her parents are always busy.
They were busy managing their Fairydom.
Her brother visited her from time to time and played with her.
Her mom visited her at night to tell a story before she went to sleep.
Her mom adores her and her dad although he is a strict person.
He always asked her all of the things she did in the entire day.
She had a nice and happy family but still she wanted to spend some time with them and play with them.
But she still understands that they need to fix the issue in their kingdom first.
She wonders if there will come a day where they will take a break and go to a picnic just the four of them.
Maybe it was impossible.
She thought that maybe it was time for her to find a friend to spend her time.
But some of the kids in the park knew who she was.
NO one dared to approach her, but this time a brave and jolly kid approached her and even declared that she accepted her as her friend.
She even gave her candy, to seal their friendship.
She likes this kid who was not scared of their status gap, so she decided to play with her in the sand box.
After spending the day playing with Loella.
She decided to bid her farewell and asked her to visit her house and as expected she easily and happily agreed.
She said to Loella that she will have her people to fetch her.
Loella nods and tells where her address is, she rides to the carriage full of sweat.
Her nanny Flora was worried about her appearance and smell and yet she looks happier than her.
She congratulated her for having her first friend.
She was the person who was always with her.
Nanny Flora was someone she adored.
She always listens to her story about what happened to her everyday.
She considered her as her second mom, she always comforts her and explained why her parents are always busy and do not have time to be with her.
She always tells her how much her parents love her.
After arriving at the castle,.
Nanny Flora immediately took her to her room and bathed her.
She changed her clothes and brought her to the dining room.
The door opens and she sees her family already sitting in.
She smiled a bit and greeted her parents and brothers
While eating her father just like his habit asked her what she did today and she happily told them what happened to her and her first friend Loella.
She told them that she invited her to the palace to play when she saw her parents' bewildered reactions.
They looked quiet so she stopped talking and closed her mouth.
Do they not want her to have a friend?
She closed her mouth.
But after she stops talking they get worried.
They explained that they were not mad about her having a friend.
On the contrary it was the opposite.
They were happy for her having a friend.
They were surprised to see her happily telling them about it.
They were silent because it was the first time they saw her smiling genuinely.
They explained that whenever they asked her about what she did for the entire day she just told them with a poker face.
Shenaira was now the one who was taken aback bout what they revealed to her.
Was she really like that?
She did not know.
She apologized to her parents.
She got out of her chair and hugged her mom and dad.
Her father the king told her that her friend Loella was very much welcome in the palace to play with her.
She could stay at the palace if she wants her to stay.
Shenaira was very happy about what her father said.
She was so excited to see Loella tomorrow.
Her brother Daniel looked at her smiling.
Just like that their dinner has come to an end and she goes back to her room.
Her nanny Flora listens to her when she tells her what happened in the dining room.
She sees her smiling and she looks very proud of her.
Nanny Flora told her that she did a good job today and she left the room.
Her mom knocks on the door and hugs her.
Her mom told her that since she was happy tonight she suggested that their storytime will resume next time and she must rest now.
So she could get early to meet her friend, her mom told her that they can't wait for her to introduce Loella to them.
Her mom kissed her on the forehead and left the room.
Another knock comes from the door, her brother Daniel came in and he said he wanted to be with her tomorrow when she introduced her friend to them but he will be busy from his training and then he left the room.
She closed her eyes and immediately fell asleep.
She was woken up by her nanny and brought her to the bathroom to take a bath.
After wearing her clothes.
She goes to the garden to wait for Loella.
She ordered the maids to prepare the breakfast in the garden
They obeyed and began preparing for their breakfast.
While walking in the garden she heard people talking.
She found the owners of the voices.
She saw her father with a man and two children.
They have unfamiliar faces.
Her father notices her and calls her to join them.
He introduced the man as King Cleron.
He is the current Wizard King and the children besides him are sons.
The tallest one who has blonde hair and red eyes was named Clerivan 7 years old.
The small one whose hair is jet black and has red eyes is the younger brother named Justin 5 years old.
She introduced herself as Shenaira the princess of the Beltranville Fairydom and she was 5 years old.
The same age as Justin.
When she looks at the two brothers faces.
Justin's face was blushing.
She shifted her gaze to Clerivan and saw his frozen face.
They made eye to eye contact but he immediately turned his head away.
He covered his mouth and whispered "ugly".
Although it is just a whisper she managed to hear it.
Upon hearing the word ugly, she tells him that he is ugly too!
She is mad at Clerivan.
No one has ever called her ugly.
since she knew that she was pretty.
Everyone praises how beautiful she was. Shenaira has long long black hair that every time she walks it is swaying.
She also has round brown eyes with a small nose and pouty red lips.
She was the spitting image of her mom the Queen and him calling her ugly means her mom was ugly too, how disrespectful!
She called Clerivan ugly boy and told him that she doesn't like him.
But deep inside her she already likes him because of his handsome face and charisma.
Annoyed about what he said.
She excused herself to her father and the wizard king.
Before she left them she heard the Wizard King apologize and explained that it was just a misunderstanding.
When she glanced at Clerivan she saw the shocked on his face.
His face was like a red cherry.
He was defending himself to his father that it was not like they thought it was.
He looked at her trying to explain himself.
He paused for a moment and said "i-it is not tt-hat you are u-ugly" he explained while stuttering and avoiding her eyes.
" It is just that y-you are not pretty", he whispered and bowed his head, his ears are all red.
She can't believe what she heard from him.
"is it not the same? Not pretty and ugly". She got mad at him again.
He tried to explain but she couldn't help but excuse herself.
She no longer wants to hear his explanations and excuses.
She was so disappointed and mad at him.
She ran away and headed to the garden where Loella awaits her.
After she left she did not hear Clerivan saying "you are not pretty, but the prettiest".
His father and Shenaira's father looked at each other and let a sigh.
There was a meaning behind those stares.
They are both thinking the same.
Shenaira' s father broke the silence and said that "I think this is the time, we already saw the time, right? King Cleron?" and his father nodded.
"By the way please allow my sons to stay here until, they reach the age of 13 and 11, to go and study at the academy".
" There are some things I need to clean in my kingdom"his father replied.
The Fairy just nodded his head and answered.
"Do not worry I will take care of them". They bid farewell to their father since he needs to go back to the Overon Wizarddom.
They waved their hands to their father and wished for his safe trip.
The fairy king told them to go to where Shenaira was.
They found her with her friend, in Clerivan's head she looks like a goddess.
She must be the Goddess of all the Fairy. She was really pretty with her long black hair swaying whenever she walked.
Her scent was like a fresh mint and citrus. He wants to know all about her.
He wants to get close to her.
"Shenaira, She-naira, Shena..." he whispered.
"Shena" suits as her nickname.
"Shena, my Shena" a mischievous smile appeared on his lips.
