Siren's Song

Episode 15

Princess Lily went down by the ladder beside the windows of the abandoned room. She climbed down by handing the vines and moved on little by little. But her slipping step made her fall down to the castle ground. Suddenly, someone was running up to hold her tight. She said "thank you for saving me". Then, she turned around and saw that person's face clearly. He was the true elf who stood at the pool side without moving. He looked down at her with worry. She tried to hold herself back from him and said "how can you move up here". He said "it's all thanks to you, because of your options, I will be able to move around the castle at night". She said "was it you when I trapped the carpet in the hallway". He smiled and said, " Didn't I say so, please call my name if you need help". She said "was it really you". He said, "Yes, I am at your service". However, their standard at life wasn't being able to connect as friends could, but their secret relationship could keep on like that. Today, the tree man was moving up around the castle ground and dancing for her. She was sitting on the bench right beside the pool. The environment was keeping silent only the song he sings and the sound of existing in the back garden. The crystal clear pond with fishes and the windy breeze passing through the flower garden and trees supported the dance. When he was done, she was clapping to praise him. Then, he turned around to her. But he collapsed to the ground. She ran up to him and said "are you okay". He was lying on the ground and said "it's been too long since I touched the ground and I feel relaxed like that". At that time, she gave him a bunch of food which she took from the kitchen. She said, "Here, those are all for you. Please eat it". He said "I am becoming a tree, so I don't need food anymore". She said "No, you can be a free elf again because I am finding a way to keep you out of the curse". He held her hand with the food. " Thank you and you are the only one who I can talk with". She said "I don't know why I like to watch you from that window up there breaking the rules of the castle". Then, he asked her about the person who she met today. She said, " Oh, you saw him". He said "Yes, I will watch you from here because the kitchen door's opened". She said to him, " My parents were planning my marriage to him". He said, " Do you love him?". She said "No, I am not, but I have no choice". He asked her with glittering eyes. She moved her eyes away and said "it's a royal duty to save my kingdom and keep the strong tie between the two countries". He said "the marriage wasn't being able to make it alone without love". She said, " Do you love someone before you turn out like this". He moved to the other side and said "Yes, I have someone I love, but I can't make that happen again". When he was telling her about his past, she felt sad.

During the holidays, she wasn't going out anywhere else but she was sinking under the books. She ordered her servants who worked at father's library and find the magic books and curse books. Her parents didn't know why she was keeping on this at holiday time. Her master came up to her palace and doing the protection around the castle. The teachers were getting busy chanting the potions and preparing the protection around the castle and other important places. They knew the coming out of the demon Abil was being the warning sign of the lava demon king. The Lava demon king wasn't destroyed by his ancestors. The Lava demon king was trapped deep under the mountains and his dragons' mountains were also imprisoned inside the specially made prison. The greatest wizards gathered to make sleeping potions for the lava demon king every year. Now, they didn't know who called out the messenger of the lava demon king. If that demon got the souls of children, he could wake the demon king up and destroy all of their kingdoms. The wizards suspected a witch who had become a consort of the king in the land of the Abyss. The land of Abyss was the dangerous place that guarded the sleeping demon king and his fellows in the lava land. But the king of Abyss never did his job as the past king. Also, the queen of Abyss didn't keep in mind about this. The witch Eudora was practicing her magic with dragons that were imprisoned over years. By sucking all their powers, she felt her power level up over and over again. She didn't know what the meaning of danger was. One day, the court of witches called her to attend the final judgement. She was refused to attend their court. Because she wasn't being a witch anymore. However, she lived under the power of her husband. The court of witches sent messengers to call her over and over again. But she wasn't stopping her way. Finally, the court of witches announced Eudora wasn't connecting with them anymore. In their statement, "if she breaks the rules of any kingdom and hurts the innocent people and children, then everyone can kill and punish her as their own". After she saw the statement from the court of witches, she got angry because of that. So, she went up to the king's room to talk about that. When she reached the front door, she knocked twice. But no one else answered back. She opened the door by clicking the door knob and then she saw the king was lying on the ground. She ran up to the king and said "what's happening"? The king said, "I drank today and I feel better because the day was getting closer". She said, " What day do you mean". He said "the day I can take him down and the day I can keep my promise". The king looked at her face and said, " Don't worry, you will become the queen of Evalon when I take that country from my brother". She said, "you know that wasn't what I wanted". He said, " What do you want?". She said, "I want them to feel the same and more than I was getting hurt". Then, she continued "if that girl still alive, she could rival back to your daughter again". He headed up from the floor and said "what did you say, do you want me to kill my niece". She said "I don't say so because someone will do that thing for you". She had a plan so she helped the princess Phobe".

On the other hand, Prince Vlain visited her kingdom because it was a holiday. He went over to her room. But he hadn't seen her there. So, he came downstairs and bumped into her nanny. He asked her nanny about her. Her nanny said "don't tell anyone else". He said "okay, then I promise". Then, nanny Nora pointed to the back wing of the castle. He said "do you mean the garden?". She said "Yes, it is". So, he went up to the back garden by passing the dining room and headed to the kitchen. The maids and servants in the kitchen were gossiping about him and the princess. At that time, he went into the kitchen, so they stopped their conversation and left. He headed out of the kitchen door and saw her lying on the ground. The chief gardener was watering around the garden. He walked forward to the center of the garden where the princess was lying down. The castle guards stopped for not passing. The guards said "this is a private area. No trespassing allowed". He pointed to the princess and said "I am coming up here for her". The guard said "whoever you are, this is the palace's rule, so we can't allow you to go there". She heard them well but she didn't care. She put her hands in the water and played with the fishes. She played her toes in the air like flying. But he hated the mud, dust, plants and crawling animals like lizards, snails and others. When he came up to see her, she always played in the back garden with them. He felt unwell when he saw her hobbies. However, he tried to like those for her as his parents taught him to. She knew him well, so she kept doing those things in front of him. He was being a prince charming in front of the girls. He loved being neat and tidy and treasuring his boots and pants, and treasuring the best. He always said how hard he tries to buy those items. Sometimes, he asked about how expensive those are. She was getting bored by his craziest collection talk. She used to wear the suit when she went to school. She loved to wear a light-colored dress when she was playing around the garden. When she's at the palace, she never ties her hair. After passing the guards, Prince Vlain walked forward to her and said "why do you keep doing this?". She said "why are you coming here?". He said "I am here to meet you". She said, without looking at his face, "now you see me right so leave". He was on the ground, so he could see her face. She was saying "you don't like your shirt getting dirty with grass, right"? He said "I don't care if I can be with you". She said in her mind "he's the player, so he did this trick on me". Then, they had a conversation until evening. The tree elf could watch them around him. She always said, "I feel refreshed when I lie down on your roots". The tree elf wanted to say "I feel the same way". Inside tree elf's mind, he didn't know why he tated that prince.
