Just like the three of us planned, I wore a beautiful outfit today and smelled as nice as a flower. Molly gave me a pink off-shoulder dress while Anastasia gave me my favorite Jasmine scented perfume. All was going to plan, except for one thing...
"Why are you again dressing up so pretty my lady?" Molly asked for the 15th time
"I also don't know Molly"
Molly and Anastasia exchanged worried gazes
"But it feels like this is what Liezel would do"
"Isn't she Lady Liezel?" Molly whispered to Anastasia's ear
"And this is not Lady Liezel would do, she always likes to cover herself up not showing any parts of her body" Anastasia whispered back
"You already sent the permission for me to go out of my room right Anastasia?"
"Yes your highness, and the Queen approved it" Anastasia bowed
"Great, let us go now"
When we got out of the castle, it was completely different, it looked so elegant, but, classically, in the East, the flowers were majority small, even the tree's leaves were also small, but here, it's big and extravagant, and the grass are a greener, but in the East, it was more of a bit like yellow-green. Can I even adjust to this place when I haven't still adjusted on being Lady Liezel?
"What's wrong Your highness? Molly?" Anastasia asked
"Is this your daily view when you lived here in the West?" Molly asked
"I know, it's ugly and plain, that's why I hate it he-"
"Ahhh! It's beautiful" Molly and I screeched
"What? Are you sure your highness?"
"Look at this tree Molly, it's thick" I called out for Molly who was admiring flowers but then came to me
"Wow, it's even thicker than our tree" Molly was suddenly impressed by her expression
"That's just a Maple Tree" Anastasia pointed out
"Just a Maple Tree? It's a thick tree!"
Anastasia sighed "This is going to be a long day"
•••
It's been 5 hours since Molly and I have been playing in this garden waiting for the Queen to call as in, it's tiring, but I'll enjoy it!
"Any news Anastasia?" I shouted from afar
"No!" She replied
"Okay, I'm officially bored" I sighed and sat down beside the fountain
"How about we play hide and seek?" Molly offered
"Hide and seek, what are we twelve-?"
"I'm in, Anastasia is it!" I tagged Anastasia and ran away
"What seriously?!" She shouted but we didn't reply "Fine! I'm skilled anyway, you would last a minute with me it!" We still didn't care "I'm gonna count till 100! And you better hide! I'm a lion when it comes to hide and seek!" Nope, still ignoring her "1, 2..."
Okay, where should I hide? I should hide in a place that's not obvious, what do I know? Aha! As Betty said, Liezel's body is weak, so they wouldn't expect me to climb a tree right? But which tree?
I looked around me for trees to climb "Too thin, I can't hide there, It looks dirty"
"78, 79..."
Dang, I need to find a place to hide ASAP!
Aha! The Maple Tree, it's thick, safe to climb, and has lots of leaves for me to hide in too.
"87, 88..."
I began climbing up in the tree as fast as I can, I was well trained in the earth, even a coconut tree isn't a hassle for me to climb.
"99, 100! Ready or not, here I come"
Good thing I'm already at the top, now I just need to wait for her to pass by and find a better hiding spot.
"Your highness?! My lady?" Anastasia called out
Why is she only looking for me? That's unfair, does she think I'm weaker than Molly? Oh dang it she's right bellow, better scoot over.
"Oh please don't look up" I prayed
But Anastasia still kept inspecting the tree
"Her highness wouldn't climb up the tree"
"Yes, I wouldn't, now please go" I whispered
"But she reckless, no one knows what shell do"
You didn't have to say it but I do agree
"Okay"
Okay, what?
"I think she's hiding in the rose bush, that's more reckless"
Yeah, that's right, wait, the rose bush? Do you underestimate me that much?
Anastasia is gone, now is my chance to switch branches!
I stood up from my squat and prepared myself to jump in the other branch
"Remember Elizabeth, your a monkey! Your a monkey! You can do this" I uttered to myself
"Three, two, one" And I jumped heading to the other branch
But shoot, my feat slipped, I was gonna fall!!!!
