It was nice evening and the king decided to to invite all of the people from his village, mostly the rich people who had helped him build new buildings and had made the village a very successful place. So he decided to celebrate their great success and the village was doing very well and including the people in the village, so the crime rate was very low.
Sophie and petra were at the buffet table picking their food, they were dressed in elegant dresses and had also made their hair elegantly. Sophie picks up a lslice of lemon from one of the lemon cakes and she puts it in her mouth and eats it, petra placed her food in her plate as she picked up a brownie and eats it and she lets out a moan. "Mmm ! This is really good !" Petra said as she smiles stuffing her mouth with brownies as Sophie giggles abit as she picked up her food. "You've always had a sweet tooth, big sis" said sophie as they both finished putting food in their plates and they walked over to an empty table and sat infront of it and began eating their food and drink orange juice along with it.
Loki and Flora were sitting at another table with loki's work buddies , they talked as they ate their meals . Soon the doors opened and two women walked inside the throne Hall, one woman was an older woman and the other woman was young and she was dressed in a simple red dress and had made her red hair simply yet beautiful and graceful, they looked around and walked over to unoccupied table and sat down infront of it and they looked over at the King and Queen and waited for them to finish talking to their friends so that they could speak with them.
After the king and Queen finished eating their meals and finished talking to thier friends, the older woman and the young lady walked over to their table and they both looked at the king and queen both their hands were clasped. "My Queen and your highness, it is triely a pleasure to finally meet you for the first time." The older woman said as she did a curtsy, Flora and Loki looked at them both. "My name is Mary and I'm a scourer and I teach people magic, and this is one of my best students." Said mary as the young lady looked at them and she did a curtsy. "My king, my Queen, it is an honour to finally meet you in person. My name is Melisandre. " she said as flora and loki looked both at the women and smiled at them and the women returned the smiles.
Loki motions to the chairs infront of them. "Please take a seat" said loki as both the women sat down infront of the table, "we come from a long way and we only came for one reason, you see I take orphane girls under my wing, I feed them and cloth them and put a roof under their heads and I teach them magic. Soon when they grow up and are ready I send them to different planets so that they can serve thier leaders." Mary said as she finished explaining and the king and queen listened to Mary. "That is very generous of you for what you do lady mary, but what does that gain you if I may ask?" Flora asked and mary smiled as she sighed. "I gain nothing from helping little orphan girls my Queen, but helping these sweet girls brings joy and happiness to me.. it is what I love doing and I have been doing this for 40 years now." Mary said as flora smiled. "Oh that is quite good lady mary, you have a really good heart." Said flora as mary smiled and she nodded abit. "Thank you my queen" said mary.
Loki became very interested in mary's offer . "Well our daughter's always wanted a teacher for them to teach magic, and finally someone came at the right time in the right place. " loki said smiling. "We'll happily accept your offer lady mary." Said loki as mary and Melisandre smiled happily. "Thank you very much for accepting me your highness, I will serve you well" Melisandre said smiling happily and loki nodded as he smiled back.
" we will let you stay in the castle, a maid will escort you to your Chambers when the party is over, you'll also have a potions room because all scourers need a potions room hehe. " said flora as Melisandre smiled as she nodded. "Of course my queen" said Melisandre. "Now enjoy the party my ladies, thiers plenty to drink and plenty to eat. " said loki as both the women stood up. "We'll gladly do your highness, please have a nice evening " said Melisandre as she and Mary walked away.
After awhile later the party was coming to a stop and everyone were leaving the party and going to thier homes, mary said her goodbyes to loki and flora and then she turned her attention to Melisandre, her most favourite student. Mary looked at Melisandre and she was going to miss her very much, mary had rescued Melisandre from her abusive family at the age of 14 and since then mary has been raising Melisandre and over the years they became best friends and mary saw Melisandre as her own biological daughter. Mary held Melisandre's hand as she looked at Melisandre. "I'm going to miss you very much child... you have to take care of yourself alright Mel?.." Melisandre nodded while smiling. "I will... you take care of yourself too.... I'm going to miss you alot..." she said.
