Siren's Song

Episode 20

The queen was feeling happy to have the king by her side that night, she couldn’t even sleep well. She felt speechless to see his face back and touch his hair. The romantic time became and then she believe that good things will come continuously to her life. Her little girl will get married soon in the coming weeks. The relationship between them and Patheon kingdom became stronger than before. The benefits won’t stop after the two kingdoms are combined. The unbroken bond will tie the two young people at the last week of this month. She didn’t know what days, months and years passed. She decided to put the happiest times of her life in her memory starting from today. She was patting the hair of the king when he fell into a deep sleep. She couldn’t close her eyes and keep watching over him. She said with a low tone “we are getting older now”. She saw the silver hair on his head. His hair was getting blonde. But she knows it’s the silver hair that shows old age well. The king was smiling towards her for a while. She touched his hair gently. The queen couldn’t sleep well on that day. She didn’t want to end their sweetest time like this. She knew she could get back her throne and place at Evalon from that day. Also, she remembered the times they owned together and the time their baby came into life. The king was sleeping peacefully beside the queen.

When they had their peaceful times together, the consorts were burning with worry and hate. Because all of them couldn’t get the queen’s place, so the consorts disliked the queen's return. They tried so hard to get a child with the king in those days. They couldn't get any children with him. The queen thought the king didn't love her. The truth was more bitter than I thought. The queen wouldn't understand why the king needed to marry the princesses from other kingdoms. He knew what his brother was planning to do. As a recovery plan, he needed to bond relationships with other countries beyond the union of kingdoms around him.

In the morning, the queen prepares everything for the king the way she did. The consorts came up to greet the queen because it was their duty. None of them, like the queen, returned. They have no choice in that. They stood in front of the door longer than they thought. An hour later, the queen’s maid, Ommela headed out of the door and told them “you must pass this time because the king is still sleeping and the queen can’t finish her duty”. The consorts said “it’s too much”. The maid said, “we can’t disturb them now”. The consorts and their maids turned back to their room right away after they heard from Ommela. Ommela knew they would know about their standards of living in this palace. The consorts felt bad over queen denied. The beautiful grace Rafel gripped her hand tight and thought about why the queen had over-confidence. All the consorts felt jealous of the queen because the king always told them about the elegant queen's lifestyle, likes, and hates. He also gave them presents based on the queen's likes. They were also princesses from different kingdoms. However, the king must treat them to their own standard. But the king never kept them inside his mind. That was insulting.

In the princess’s room, Ms. Nora was helping her to tie her hair like a grown-up girl. The princess told her “can you stop doing that style for a while”. Ms. Nora said, "Princess, I can’t go to that kingdom with you when you get married”. The princess looked at Ms. Nora by saying “so are you doing all your best to me as a goodbye present”. Ms. Nora knelt down in front of the princess and said, “I don’t want to say goodbye, but we have to do this for your sake”. The princess took the brush from her hand and said “if I take you and my personal maids to Patheon what will you say”. Ms. Nora faced down and said, “ You can’t be my princess”. The princess said “why”. Ms. Nora said, “because you need to face your life with your own decisions from now on”. Princess Lily threw her brush onto her dressing table. Then, she stood up from the stool and headed out to the balcony. Ms. Nora was sitting there without moving. At that time, the personal maid of the queen came up and knocked on the door. The princess said “Yes, come in”. Then, Ms. Ommela went into the princess’s room with her sister Onnela. The princess didn’t turn her face to them. She was just watching the garden from the room. That place was the east garden, which had a great scenery including the long road in front of the castle. Ms. Ommela said “greeting to your highness, her majesty the queen and his majesty the king waited you at the dining room”. When she heard, she turned her face to them by saying “right now you said mother was waiting for me in the dining room”. They said, “Yes, your highness”. She said “unbelievable what happened between them”. Afterward, she opened the door and ran towards the dining room like a child. Ms. Nora was watching her from behind.

The princess was stepping downstairs and moving up to the dining room. When she reached arrival, she saw the mother and father who were waiting for her to have breakfast with them. She ran up to her mother and said, “ You look older than the time I remembered your face”. The queen couldn’t hide her tears over how she missed her daughter so much. The queen rose up her hands to the princess and said “ My little girl, come over here, let mama hug you”. She was scared to get into her mother’s chest and get a hug. Because she remembered how her mother acted upon her in those days. Since the days mother locked up in room, she felt freedom and go anywhere around the palace. Sometimes, she wanted her mother to stay beside her. Most of the time, having a mother beside her was a tough way to stand in life. Mother caused trouble in her lifetime. Now, she realized why her mother had a good mother style. She shoved her body away from her mother and headed up to the front chair on the other side of her father. The queen said, “why don’t you come in”. The princess said “I miss you so much mother, but I can’t prepare my mind to be the same as before”. The queen said, “what do you mean?”. The princess said, “ We are family. Why do you have hidden things without letting us know”. The queen said “all your mother does, it’s for your good future”. The princess said “I don’t want to discuss this right now, so let’s have breakfast in a silent way”. The king was surprised by his daughter’s act. He wondered what made her change a lot over those years. Two years was enough time to change a person’s hobbies and interests. The interests of the princess weren’t the same. And then, she didn’t go to the back garden. The tree elf Siren was missing her over those days. She was his only friend. But she went away from him when she found out the mother’s truth. She decided to clear out the strange trees in the back garden. If she hadn’t been clear about those yet, she couldn’t face the tree elf again. During their last time, she promised to save him from that curse. She heard about the curse tree from her master, Magot. But he couldn’t explain everything to her.

At Pascestor Abyss, Phobe is scared of losing her favorite better-half prince to her cousin. She knew she couldn't get along with Eudora anymore. The witch Eudora didn't help her with heart-related problems. Eudora told her to try everything herself. So, she went out of the region. On the other hand, she believed the witch Eudora got her place at the palace. Phobe heard the sad talks of mother everyday. And she also has a serious issue with fixing it. So, she didn't want to spend her time there. When she moved to Patheon to live near him, the queen of Patheon started disliking her. She thought that she had got the trust and love of the queen of Patheon. But she was overdoing something like overacting and fainting in front of Prince Vlain. A trick like that causes her failure in impression.
