"Well… what kind of bird is that, my lady?" Sasha asked, moving Arielle's hand to look in the direction he was pointing.
Arielle looked at the two large yellow and black-winged animals. The girl smiled.
"That's called a butterfly."
"Is the animal poisonous? Because people say if an animal is brightly colored, it's probably poisonous."
Tania laughed, then grabbed Sasha's hand to stop holding Arielle.
"There are no poisonous butterflies," replied Tania gently. The woman invited Sasha to come in. "Let's go inside to say hello to the king and queen."
Arielle took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. She was not ready to see her father again. Her eyes glanced around the palace, trying to find another route if she accidentally met her siblings.
Now the three of them were standing in front of the hall. She hoped that there would only be the king and queen.
