Chapter 18 - Great Effort and Work

Leislia grabbed my hand and started to walk with me. "Wait, Leislia, where are we going?" I was still in my nightgown and I realised she was too. "I'm sure you had a fright last night, I want to show you something. I've always dreamed of seeing this sight with a girl, whether it be a little sister or a best friend." As we walked the walls turned to glass. I noticed that I could now see lots of beautiful plants and flowers. This must be what she wanted to show me. Of course I've heard of it. The Imperial Glass Gardens. I heard lots, like how the flowers glow in the dark or right before sunrise, and how they were able to bloom even in the dead of winter, and oh I tell you. These flowers were amazing and so beautiful. Unlike anything I've ever seen before. I get it that somehow overnight I became a princess of this kingdom but I still felt that all of this was so grand. So above me, like I was an outsider looking at beautiful things I could never touch. "Do you like them, Lerape?" I was snapped back into reality back Leislia's question. "Yes, they are lovely. I've never seen such beautiful flowers before." She laughed. "Yes, the imperial palace is known for their beautiful and diverse montage of flowers and plants." "I see." Everything seemed so easy. From stories I heard and newspapers I've read over the years, being inside the palace was supposed to be harder. It wasn't supposed to be this easy was it? "Hey, uh Leislia, is it really going to be this peaceful from now on. I mean everything's just so calm, I thought that It would be far more work to be a, well Princess." I saw her smile fade a little. "Yes, I just wanted to start your days a little easier, but yes, it will be work. First of all firsts, you'll need to learn Imperial etiquette, and you also will need to work with the Temple, to be able to harness your powers, and finally after all that is done, which you'll only have the months before your 18th birthday, is when you'll have to enter High Society. That's when it all begins."
