Chapter 5 - CHAPTER FIVE

A day with the queen~

   Once every twenty-one days,the king's wives do go to the magic pool to bathe. It was believed that the pool was actually the queens source of lasting beauty,health and enrichment.

 

  The magic pool was located inside the greenroom(garden),inside the green room was a secret door that can only be accessed by the king's wives. Not even royal maidens,guards or even the king could enter.

    

   Today was another of such good days were the Queens are to go to the magic pool for their bathe and Elizabeth was really excited about it.

   Knowing that the other Queen would all be present, Elizabeth wasn't excited to meet them all especially the king's first wive; Queen Bianca,the most powerful queen among all. Rather Elizabeth was excited to meet the fairies that lives there.

   Fairies where believed to be magical creatures which was last seen centuries ago,since the early existence of the people of Austro. Not until the great wall between the three realms, fairies had gone on hidings and not many had seen them expect in magical places such as the magic pool.

   "My Queen please slow down so you don't trip and fall down" Kira advices Elizabeth who was walking fast and making it difficult for even Cristal,her personal guard to keep up.

   "Where did you say the magic pool is located again?" Elizabeth asked.

  "In the garden,my Queen. Just behind the tall blooming peach tree is a wall but not just an ordinary wall but a door" Kira explain still trying to keep up with the Queen's pace.

  "Don't worry I will take it from here" Elizabeth said dismissing her maid and her royal guard immediately she got to the greenroom entrance.

  "My queen..."Kira softly called before leaving along side with Cristal "please be careful"Kira quickly added. Elizabeth smiled, knowing how much Kira cared for her she didn't expect anything less,she felt lucky to have her as a maid.

"I Will. You don't need to worry" was Elizabeth responds to her. Kira and Cristal finally left.

  Even after Elizabeth had reassured kira that she would be safe,kira still felt as though something would go wrong. Nervously kira walked along the palace towards the kitchen room looking very worried.

    Noticing this Cristal tried to talk to her "Are you still worried that something would happen to the queen?"Kira turned to Cristal trying to compose herself, "She will be fine" Cristal added firmly.

  "You don't understand, I've being in this palace longer than you and I know when to be scared or not. The queen is going to meet with the other queen at the magic pool"Kira gasped.

  "So?" Cristal didn't understand what Kira was trying to say. "Alone. She's going to face them alone, haven't you being listening to the rumors going around?" Kira asked as Cristal only gave a confused look back as a respond.

  "The king's first wive had purposely refused to see queen Elizabeth but today she would when there's no maid nor guard watching,what if she..."

  " Calm down,calm down" Cristal took Kira into his arm seeing how she was shaking,he didn't understand why she cared that much,not that she shouldn't but that Kira had already grew so very much attached to the queen.

   Feeling the strong manly arms around her, Kira felt a warmth within her and something bubbling as she almost forgot the fear she was feeling few seconds ago.

  But immediately she pushed the hands away from her as though she just saw a ghost. Her face in shock "what happened?" Cristal asked, surprised by the sudden action of Kira.

   Kira seems to staddle with her words before saying "Nothing...it's nothing" and immediately turned to leave before he could notice the blush on her cheek.

  Cristal felt further confused. Did he just made her feel better or worst? He wondered but it was useless because she had already left.

Finally been alone at the greenroom, Elizabeth glance around in search of the blooming peach tree,it took her several minutes though as she wasn't familiar to the palace garden.

  Finally,she say the blooming peach tree at the very end of the garden and behind it was a wall. Elizabeth walked towards it. She was confused on how to open it seeing that there was no knot or anything like an handle.

  Feeling so confused, Elizabeth wondered why she didn't asked about how she could get in. Feeling frustrated Elizabeth placed her hand on the wall unconsciously but that was when she felt her hand go through the wall.

  Immediately Elizabeth realize that the wall was penetrable. She place in her second hand to confirm and when she had done that,she felt someone drag her into the wall.

"Huh!" Elizabeth mutted with eyes closed.Elizabeth opened her eyes only to see that she was in a whole new different garden,and the queen jasmine along with Luna and Anna staring at her.

  "We were wondering if you were going to come on not"Elizabeth heard them chuckle.

  "We were expecting you and you were taking too much time so I decided to help you" Queen Jasmine spoke. She was wearing Rode made of thick cottoned wool similar to what Luna and Anna were wearing including herself.

  "Were you the one that..." Elizabeth wanted to know if it was Queen Jasmine that dragged her in. "Yes,I was. Now come let's take a swim at the pool" Jasmine said smiling brightly before taking off her robe, she took Elizabeth hands and lead her towards the pool and into the pool with the rest other queen behind them.

"Argh" Elizabeth felt the cold water on her skin "It's so cold."

  Queen Anna swims toward Elizabeth and Jasmine "Allow me" she said to Elizabeth before enchanting a spell on the water making it warm instantly.

"Wow,did you just do that?" Elizabeth asked surprised. She knew that the other queens had powers but she never knew what their powers were.

  Somewhere In the garden someone chuckled lightly and softly "Let me guess,you must be Elizabeth, the king's new toy."

  "Who's there?" Elizabeth instantly turned to the direction of the voice. Only to behold the clear image of someone she never meant but only heard of;Queen Bianca.
