Kingdom Lithia: The Land Of wonder

Birthday Celebration.

Eleanor

" wake up dear, it's time" said mom gently shaking me. I open my eyes and glance at the clock its three in the morning. " No it's not the time, it's too early" I said closing my eyes. " you need to get ready for your birthday, rituals takes time. and it's your first rituals" said

aunt appearing at door.

Yes Every Princess has at least one and maximum 3 occasion for this rituals in their life first is 18th birthday, second is wedding and third is coronation for a seat of queen. birthday rituals are mandatory. After that princess decide if she wanted to have a married life or Walk of fire.

I get up reluctantly, and take a hot bath. after that they give me a short robe which cover me from chest to mid thigh.

the group of maids led me to big circular tub. the tub has a seat in it. they told me to sit in tub. they apply some kind of paste on my body which smells of sandalwood. its has something more in it.

" hey beauti where is your smile, it's your birthday today, enjoy the attention" said Lisa applying some kind of mixture in my hair. seriously I stay away from beauty products generally but seem like today is no escape from it. I'm going to miss Lisa if I really escape from here today. " No One is allowed to cry on their birthday dear, not even a princess" she said wiping my tears away. she is like a sister to me. it would be great if I can take her with me. She do not have any family. Mom found her one day near the lake. when we both were infant. we grew up together.

After that paste treatment they shower me with a milk and rose petals. after a while they finally pour water on me then I was led to the my room to have some breakfast its 7 in morning. Lisa brought me some fruits and milk. " didn't I had enough milk already " I joked. " hey Ellie I'm going to miss you so much" " me too you are my only true friend" " I can't see you in pain Ellie... I can't see you marrying d.." " shhhhh.. I'm not going to marry him. I will prefer a fire walk" " but Ellie.." " Dont worry I already have a plan."

" Ellie a word with you please? " said kathy from doorway disturbing our talk. I'm still angry with her for ratting me out to Mason. " Leave us alone for some time Lisa" ordered kathy. and Lisa leave. I ignore Kathy and continue eating fruits.

" hey look at me Ellie. please Ellie ... I'm sorry.. I thought Mason will change its opinion of Ethan if he got to know you have crush on him. I was wrong Ellie please forgive me. I can't see you getting married against your wishes. but I can't fight Mason." " it's ok you do what you thought was right. but you don't have any right to share my secrets like that" I said to her. " I'm really sorry Ellie" i nodded. I can't trust her again. but she has feel guilty enough. maybe she is saying true.

" What will you do now" asks kathy. I can't tell her about Ethan. I don't know if he is coming or not. I haven't seen Adi since morning. " don't know if I didn't escape till oath of life I will choose Fire Walk." I reply shrugging. "it's already 8 at morning Ellie let's start getting ready" Lisa said taking my hand and Kathy leave. Lisa apply some powders on my face. dried my hairs with her mouth. she blew a hot air on my hair. She is make up artist. She gave me a gown to wear. The gown is pearly white with belt of red Roses at waist. I wear the dress then she curl my already curl hears with iron extended from her fingers. she make a half bun of my hairs and leave rest of hairs open. She make a half circle of red roses around bun. " Princess is ready for her birthday ball" she announced.

" Its time Ellie to visit fairy stone." announced mom as she entered my room. Me, mom and aunt we head towards fairy stone. I choose my regular spot to stood up. that is in front of goddess of Fairy. I respect all 4 of them but I felt more connected to her. ' hey fairy goddess give me a strength to follow through my plan. my actions may seem selfish to some. but sacrificing my lifes happiness for some fake pride is wrong behavior for me.' I bowed my head for some time. and a tear roll down from my eye after thinking that this may be a last time I'm visiting this Fairy stone.

At Noon they start a function. there is still no sign of Ethan. I asks Adi with my eyes and he shake his head negatively.

I was seated in the big circular chair on stage with others surrounding a small stage. there wasn't many guest as Mason thought that would be risky. So only nobles of Vithalith was present and I'm grateful for that. there was some dancing and music going on which I ignore completely.

At 1 in afternoon Gift ceremony started. first of all Dad gifted me a necklace which have feelings stone in the center. "feeling stone change the colour according to feeling of person wearing it." inform dad and I thank him hugging him he is a great dad and I love him so much I'm going to miss mom and dad so much. mom gifted me a bangles which she got from her mother. " I dont know how it work, but my mother says you will know when its need arises" mom said. I thanks her giving her tight hug. I haven't saw Adi since gifting ceremony started and had not talk to him since morning and Lisa, I haven't see her after visit to Fairy stone.

Queen of Koralith Aunt Lisa gifted Me a Ring which every older Princess of Vithalith gets when she turns 18. it has many specialty one of them is that No other person can touch it. it can carry by only a Princess of Vithalith. if anybody else touch it. it gets disappear and reappear in princess finger. Maybe that is the only reason Aunt was invited and she insists that Adi come.

Next Mason gifted me a dress which was blue in colour with golden design on them. " it's pure gold sis only the best for Vithalith Princess" he taunts. I know in his own weird way he love me and didn't trust Ethan because he kill King Henry who was good for Mason. Mason only thinks about how people treat him. not about how people treat others.

Kathy gifted me some beauty products

and slip piece of paper in my hand. did she decided to help me? and it's her own escape plan. flutter of Hope's started rising in my stomach. " every girls need this in their life Ellie. I know you dont like it but please keep it with you." she said smiling and I smile back at her.

DON'T TRY SOMETHING SILLY

OR I WILL TORTURE LIZZIE.

PRINCE MASON

all the smile get wiped from my face. I became pale reading this. my eyes search for Lisa but i can't find her. kathy hug me tightly and said " I'm sorry Ellie but pride of my husband is everything to me." she betrayed me twice. my blood began to boil. I fell like killing her on the spot but I'm healer not killer. " I listen accidentally about your escape plan tou were telling to her but couldn't listen completely, so tell Mason. he would have face humiliation if you had pull that up.

so he captured Lisa to ask but she isn't talking. he torture her so much even threatened her to give her as a food to his wolves. but she didn't open her mouth. so if you escape or decided fire walk Lisa will bear a consequences.

" She is not a part of this. she doesn't know a thing. she is innocent in this."

I whisper yell. " she might be. but you are not now your little ceremony is over take a oath of life and declared that you are going to marry Duke Damon. Dont forgot your actions have consequences " she said patting my back. I can't believe I consider her friend once. how can she do this to me. " Now Princess will take the oath of live" announced Kathy in very pleasant tone and I can see Duke Damon

getting excited from corner of my eye. I will make their life living hell if this wedding happens.
