Casmi stood there proudly watching the King's bedroom which she had just cleaned right now.

The sparkling floors,the neat furniture,the groovly arranged royal bed were all a good sight to the eyes.

She took the wooden bucket containing water and picked up the broom. She opened the door slightly but enough for it to creak.

"Casmi ! Casmi!" A tired loud voice in the cold silent cleaned hall.

She turned her head to the direction of the voice.

Mansi.

"Mansi" she called out, her sweet voice brightening the cold hall.

" Are you done?" Mansi asked wiping her sweat with her hands.

"Yes" Casmi replied rubbing her friend's back.

"Let me help you" Mansi said taking the heavy bucket even though Casmi protested. Casmi went back inside and took the mop following Mansi.

"Anyways the king is coming tommorow" Mansi said her eyes beaming joyfully.

Casmi took a curious glance at Mansi.

It's been two days since she came here, some welcomed her others with the frowny jealous face.

Casmi was a true beauty to be honest.

If you aver that she is ugly the you are truly blind. She catches attention wherever she goes.

Her warm honey brown hair flows graciously like an enchanted waterfall ending at her backside.

Her dark midnight eyes bloomed love and tranquility. Her round face, her tidly arched sculptured brow and a button nose with her red plump lips were more than enough for any man to fall at her feet.

She was a true beauty beyond imagination.

But toooooooo innocent....

"How does the king looks like" Casmi asked blinking her cute innocent eyes. When she arrived the king wasn't the kingdom. All his relatives were somewhere else.

"Ah the king has red scary gorgeous eyes beautiful silky hair and his- OH NO-" Mansi stopped her dreamily talk her eyes widening in horror as she saw Polina,the headmaid looking at them angrily holding her waist.

Casmi took one look at Polina and it was enough for her to to get scared.

"Ma'am we are really sorry" Mansi said keeping her eyes lowered but not her head.

"The king is coming tommorow and you should know what to do" Polina said with a stern face there in her eyes slowly fading away.

Mansi's mind wandered for a while before realization hit her her eyes widened.

"Crysella flower" Mansi said,her face giving an annoyed expression.

"Here take this" Polina left four baskets on the floor leaving them alone.

Taking the baskets Casmi asked.

"why do we need to get the Crysella flower?"

"I don't know" °~°

"We have to hurry so we might get some of the carriage" Mansi said dragging Casmi down the stairs with her.

Finally they got to the royal compound.

They hurried to the cold iron which everyone who gets cose to it gets an eerie feeling.

The gate was opened but there still guards stationed near it with tough look on their faces.

They knew all the maids were on an errands.

They started closing it at first but then in no time a maid or a group of them will come shouting.

"Stop"

"I am coming"

"Wait please"

It became really annoying so they opened it for the maid's.

Casmi and Mansi went out and saw the carriages lined up some were going some were arriving.It was hired by the king for any errands.

They climbed into the carriage quickly,they saw another carriage arrive. Four girls getting out of the carriage holding a bucket full on Crysella flower.

It's petals were as white as the foam of the sea with the lower part in the shade of midnight blue.It looked adorable and innocent.

Even though it was far away you can smell it pleasant fragrance. It bloomed of tranquility ,happiness and love.

Crysella is a widely cultivated flower in Drasluna 'Crysella' pronouced 'Crecella'. 'Cella' is a Malinea word meaning 'Caged'. And 'Cre' means 'tears'. It is known for its placidity and beauty. It's also known as 'Caged tears'.

The carriage started moving on the smooth pavement, the horse neighed softly.

Two girls were sitting opposite them they had a jealous look on their faces.

Casmi being the innocent one didn't make out the meaning of their faces.

She smiled at one of them but all she got in responds were eye rolls neatly packaged *Π*.

The carriage passed through the castle's main gate.

After a while they reached the forest.

"Why did you bring us at the back of the forest?" Mansi asked as confusingly as she got out of the carriage.

The coachman, a man in his late 20's with fine red hair and hazel eyes but was covered with a hat looked at her confusingly. But masked it quickly with an annoyed expression.

"Isn't this the place you usually drop off ?" He said annoyed. The other girls got out looking at them confusingly.

The voice of the coachman seemed familiar with Mansi but it was a little different from the one she knows

"Christ you literally just dropped us here?" Mansi asked rolling her eyes.

"Mansi lets go atleast we are close to the forest and this is the shortest way" Jasmine one of the girls said in a rude tone.

"Fine whatever" she said rudely, dragging casmi with her.

They walked alone in the forest.

It was clearly in the afternoon.

Birds were chirping sweetly as if cooing a baby. The forest diffused serinity and calmness.

"Is it far ?" Casmi asked as they had been walking for so long.

She knew Mansi was angry about want happened earlier. And she was finding means and ways to cheer her up.

"It is in the middle of the forest" Mansi replied trying to keep her voice as cool as possible.

Mansi stopped walking causing Casmi to bump into her.

Casmi looked ahead of her she was about to mutter a 'sorry' but a ' wow' came out instead.

The rich black soil embeded the flowers. The atmosphere felt warm. It could calm an angry person in seconds. The crysella flower stood tall and beautiful in the soil. Their green healthy stems slightly bended. Their blue anthers slightly glowing, die to their location being in the darkest part of the forest.

It petals touch the ground slightly.

There was a pearl-like ball in the center of the flowers. It had a light hue of pink and yellow. Because of how the green stem bends slightly it looks as if it would fall down.

Casmi felt the tension around Mansi disperse as if she never got angry.

Mansi started plucking the flowers a gently as she could. Casmi went forward and touched one of the flowers.

It started glowing. "°○°"

Mansi stared in amazement.

"W-what is h-happening?" Casmi stuttered.

"I don't know"Casmi replied fear enveloping her eyes.

Casmi threw it in the basket promptly, as if it will burn her fingers.

The the back stopped glowing.

Mansi held Casmi's hands and felt heat. Worried, she laid a hand on Casmi's neck but found her temperature normal.

They looked at the flower again,baffled.

Casmi touched another flower but it didn't glow.

Relief washed over them. {☆▪︎☆}

They plucked the flowers till the baskets were full.

They dragged it back to the carriage and saw the coachman leaning on the carriage with a lazy look.

The other girls were not back.

When Mansi saw who the coachman was her face formed in to a frown dropping the basket and holding her waist.

"Oh so it was you the whole time" anger reflected in her eyes as she spoke.

A grin crept it's way to the coachman face.

"Just wanted to surprise you star"

Before she could continue, the other girls were coming.

They hopped inside and headed to the castle.

(^v^) (^v) (v^) .......

"Who was that man ?" Casmi asked combing her hair.

They have taken their bath after having their evening meal.

Rice porridge with slight sweetness and a bland bread.

But still it was enough to fill them up.

She looked at Mansi waiting for an answer, but found her blushing instead.

"What no am not" she said nervously she found out Casmi has caught her blushing.

She gave Mansi a cute questioning look.

"Ok ok he is my lover"

"You guys look good together, I am looking forward to see you and his mini version running around me" Casmi chuckled said that.

"Hey" Mansi smacked her lightly on her arm with an annoyed expression.

"They will only be a mini-version of me" Mansi said daydreaming about her future kids.

"Oh don't be selfish"Casmi said dropping the comb and walks to the bed.

"I am not selfish, he can have his mini-version in the afterlife"[□◇■] what the-.

"With who?"

"Me!!" Mansi replied jealous filling her eyes.

"So how long have you guys been together"

"Three weeks and he's also one of the King's closest loyal man" Mansi spat out smiling at Casmi who looked like she's had her soul lifted T●T.

"Oh my goodness where were my manners"

"There is no need for that,you just came here two days ago you don't even know him" Mansi said walking to the bed with a relaxed expression lying down and covering herself in the thin blanlet.

Before they could flow to their dreamland a knock on the door interrupted their sleep .~_○.

Casmi sat up looking at the door.

Mansi groaned at the door.

If looks could kill, the door would have turned into ashes by now.

"Who can it be?" Casmi asked.

"It's me" a masculine voice shouted but not loud enough to wake up the other maids.

Mansi opened the door and glared at the red-haired man infront of her .

He had a grin on his face, looking down at her.

"Miss me?" He asked.

"No I just saw you this afternoon. Do you expect me to miss you?" Mansi said rolling her eyes and smiling.

"I miss you okay,no need to make that sad excited face" Mansi turned to Casmi when she asked who it was.

"It's Derek the so called coachman".

Casmi chuckled and Derek chuckled.

Derek pouted his lips giving Mansi sweet kisses all over her face.

"Hey you-" \*_*/

Derek dragged Mansi out of the room whiles waving at Casmi.

Casmi giggled peaking out of the door

"Don't be late" she shouted but not loud.

They looked back and giggled.
