"....... Suddenly the aura around royal palace gets cloaked with utter bliss. Prince and princess got dissolved into each others sparkling gaze. They exchanged the vows to strengthen the bond between them throughout their lives with True love and Mutual respect....
A novel step towards the beginning of happily ever after was taken by these soulmate, Their fates synchronized longing hearts into holy matrimony"
The feminine and honeysuckle voice reverberated underneath a massive candle chandelier and lifted the still spirit of the colossal chamber which was styled in a proud regal flair.
Various Pristine, ancient wares surrounded the queen sized bed and engulfed the crown princess of Melvona kingdom in its warmth.
"What is True love, aunt sammy and Why did princess Lyria left her home for prince Jonathan?"
A soothing and chirping alike vocalization of thoughts were expressed by 'Yvonne lilian capellon' in front of her nanny 'Samantha Roman Bennity' who is also the first lady of bedchamber.
Samantha felt Yvonne's curious cobalt blue gems resting on her whitish yet sharp features. The innocent exuberance of a certain little one recocheted around the chamber which made samantha smile in happiness.
Soft palms cupped the chubby cheeks and a soul melting smile was directed towards the porcelain alike bundle of joy who has already crossed nine summers.
The flashes of the auspicious day when Yvonne took her first breathe in this realm began to surface in Samantha's mind. The reminiscence into the delightful moments of past tugged at the chords of her very existence.
The feeling of motherhood is undoubtedly evident from samantha's loving gestures towards Yvonne and not to forget the fact that Samantha also performed as the head of the midwives while Her majesty, The queen of Melvona kingdom was expecting.
"My princess, why do you hug me the first thing in the morning and before going to bed?" A dark gaze got drowned into the blue hues of ocean while asking the most thoughtful question from a naive soul?"
"I feel the most happiest and lively after embracing you, aunt Sammy"
Yvonne's exuberance ruptured the walls of passive pregnant silence sprawling around. Her arms mimicked the action which depicted the depthness of deep tenderness she possess for her motherly figure.
Samantha's existence felt fulfilled. Her heartbeat rose in happiness due to Yvonne's tender display of affection. This very moment became worthy of every tedious task that challenged Samantha while providing the best in her towards nurturing the next heir to the throne.
Dampen charcoal eyes became heavy with the salty droplets hanging over her lashes while lips verbalised the emotion "The feeling you are expressing for me is called 'True love' and it exists within all of us. Humanity is the utmost exemplar of True love, my dear"
Yvonne brows puckered while asking another innocent question in curiosity "Does my feelings towards cherries sweetmeat counts while determining true love?"
The naive words bore utter mischievous desire to possess the delicious delicacies which are usually made by Samantha.
A beautiful chuckle was earned by Yvonne from her nanny. In the matter related to huge appetite for sweets no thanks to Yvonne's sweet tooth and Samantha's exceptional culinary arts.
The warmth of quilt was separated from Samantha's frame and after putting the heavenly cloak over her satin night gown she stepped towards the balcony attached to the chamber.
The huge and heavy gates shielded the royalties resting inside from merciless waves blowing outside.
The intensity of the night breeze was alike the intensity of desperation in Samanatha's soul she wanted to pour out her heart in front of Yvonne.
Samantha has a very firm faith in her dearie but how could she explain a subject that revolves around 'love'? The topic itself was tougher beyond words. As Yvonne's care taker, Samantha was prepared in ways which enables her in moulding the crown princess as an ideal leader. She was well versed in Fine arts, knitting, diplomacy, royal etiquettes, history, politics, Legislation, values, cultural education, Ethics and so on.
But the lessons which were taught by learned nobles to Samantha felt void, her mind raced to endless plethora of replies she desired to express in that very moment.
In utter confusion Samantha ajarred the wooden gate and the harsh wind soothed her senses, her raven hair waved leisurely and charcoal eyes gazed longingly at the blood moon in particular. Everything felt still yet steady, a smile broke onto her fuller lips which in turn enhanced her angelic angular features even further.
"Come princess and have a look at the vast sky. Isn't it glorious to witness the creation of gods which is spreading so magnificently in every nook and cranny of this world?"
Samantha's spiritual words jolted and thumped Yvonne's heart beats in excitement. The positivity of novel feeling was pushing her curiosity.
Little and Light steps took Her highness towards the destination but after ditching the warmth of her mattress, Yvonne truly felt grateful towards the privilege she was enjoying moments ago.
Mischievous Cobalt blue eyes became intrigued but instead of following the lead, her eyes found their own path. The golden flame was shimmering so high and the Melvonians seemed to be around it. Their respective shelters were decorated due to the celebration of enhanced agricultural production.
The inhabitants of Melvona are self reliant in growing food crops. The rich and fertile soul is a blessing bestowed upon the inhabitants by mother nature. Their involuntary and invisible bond of harmony with each other depicts the feeling of integrity and joy.
Yvonne's brows were raised in astonishment. She smiled while observing the people. The glimmer of bonfire in such a bitter weather ignited a wish in her to reach there as well.
Laughing, chattering and folk dance of Melvonians around the bonfire in a blissful daze felt so heart blooming to Yvonne. It is no wonder that the inhabitants in this kingdom are so full of spirit.
The beauty of Melvona lies in her children, her heavenly beauty is beyond words and during the nightfall it seems as if paradise lies in the lap of the deity itself which Melvonians worship so heartedly.
Their lives are so lively , so simple yet their soul is calm with just a slight assurance that they are safe under the wings of mighty warriors who are guarding the boundaries of their mother land.
Yvonne is exactly on the opposite strand of rope which depicts her nobility and regality. A difference so wide between her and those inhabitants which one day she might rule. But at this very moment Yvonne felt no difference between her and the commoners. She is just like them.
Why did Yvonne first observed those people instead of the beauty which Samantha wanted to show her?
Why does the Melvonians are leading such uncomfy lifestyle yet their hearts are brimming with joy? What makes them so high-spirited?
After observing Yvonne's line of gaze even Samantha got intrigued to find out what was going in the head of her little one.
"Did you observed the inhabitants of our kingdom? What do you think and feel at this moment?"
"Aunt Sammy, why does these people live in tiny shelters and Why do we live in this castle? They all look so happy! Why is that so?"
Yvonne's fingers scratched her chin in thoughtfulness. She was so immersed in her own world filled with an ocean of possibilities to her queries.
"My princess, The inhabitants of Melvona doesn't find the provincial life mundane but rather their soul finds solace in every single moment they spend with their Kith and kins"
Samantha sat on the nearby wooden chair and took Yvonne in her arms. Dark orbs were twinkling with seriousness but her smile never faltered even a bit.
"Being alive and serving your loved ones is the beautiful blessing our mother nature has bestowed upon us. The form of 'love' can be moulded by a person in accordance to the relationship with another but feeling of true love seldom gets altered"
The melody of devotion melted the ice shards of ignorance and doubts in Yvonne's mind. She realised that the difference is negligible between her and the residents. They might be leading an ordinary life but it is filled with lots of cheerfulness.
Samantha's soulful words made the darkness of dilemma in Yvonne's mind to fade away so leisurely.
She knew that one day her little princess will be all grown up into an enchantress, her divine deeds will be the talk among many kingdoms. one day Yvonne will be not just rule Melvona but also nurture and rule the hearts of people.
"The kingship of His majesty is alike a saint and even by your forefathers diplomacy has been always adopted instead of warfare"
Samantha asked Yvonne as to judge the curiosity in her little princess. Her hands caressed Yvonne locks lovingly, samantha heart melted into a puddle when Yvonne innocently denied.
....My princess, the golden way towards love goes through by being pure from inside. Serenity is your virtue and Kindness is your legacy so whenever You think that you are losing yourself feel the soul resting here"
Yvonne felt her nanny's finger pointing at the place where her heart lies.
The divine words from Samantha awakened the realisation in the little girl whose meaning of life began to make more reason at this very instant.
The lurking of slight darkness in the midst of bright realisation led Yvonne to ask another query from her mother figure. Pools of blue twinkled with worry and lips laid down the concern bravely.
"What if I don't find True love? What if someone begins to loathe me one day?" A murmur of chirpy voice made Samantha's lips to twitch upwards. Yvonne's innocence jolted Samantha's heart in bliss.
"For a feeling like such my princess need not to worry because there will be none who wouldn't fall for you dear"
The cheerfulness of little princess acknowledged no boundaries,her smile further brighten up the dull atmosphere.
"You can share every tough feelings with me. I will always be on the par to take all the sorrows and pain far away from you"
Samantha didn't wasted even a single moment to embrace Yvonne in adoration. Her eyes couldn't cease the flow of salty tears. Her princess is indeed growing up very rapidly and all she begs from goddess Melina to bless this little one in the journey of life.
"Every day and night, I shall pray in front of goddess to bless everyone with joy and happiness. I wish that one day mother and father will be so proud of me due to my deeds. I wish to make you happy because of me, aunt sammy"
"You never cease to make me feel that way, my little one"
Yvonne poured her heart's desire while hugging her aunt in return. She vowed to protect the Melvonians and devote her entire life in their rejuvenation.
The detrimental gaze in this young princess and irrevocable kindness in her heart assured Samantha that Yvonne will conquer everything and everyone with her attributes and she shall be the one who will establish an inspiration for the generations to come.
"It's time for bed. Please give your eyes some rest" Lady samantha chirped while holding little palms and in turn Yvonne grinned in positive.
"I love you to the moon and back, aunt "
"I love you the most my princess"
Caressing of Yvonne's brown locks brought immense serenity to Samantha and the loving gesture led the princess of Melvona to fall into deep slumber.
The strength of their bond was inexplicable. The smile over Samantha's features drowned when her mind drifted into the inky reminiscence of past.
She had to cease her sobs through the back of her palm when she observed Yvonne fragile frame sleeping so deeply.
But heart does what it needs to do, shivering of Samantha's body due to the piling up of reckless feelings freed the unnecessary thoughts to boggle up her rationality.
How will Yvonne be able to cope up with the tragedies of past? My little one is so fragile to ever cross with the monstrosity which looms in the gloomy reality!
The thoughts shivered Samantha's soul yet a sliver of hope was blinking in her eyes with a silent pact of never letting anyone hurt her princess ever.
Even if the repercussions of the concerned will take a toll over Samantha herself.
