Book 12.1: Chapter 1
“You came around on your bamboo horse encircling chairs and benches. Dangling in your hand was a branch of green plums.” – Li Bai (Changgan Ballad)
There was no such thing as seasons in the elven lands. You will always open your eyes to see the bright sun and lush green every day unless it’s a wet day. However, even if it was a wet day, the cool breeze would bring the refreshing rain and green leaves into the room of the young girl curled up on her warm bed deep asleep and wake her up. However, today was a sunny day.
The sun was bright as usual. The lush and tall trees outside hadn’t seemed to have yet woken from their slumber. The branches lazily swayed in the breeze. The birds’ cheerful singing and the shadow cast by the birds’ wings woke up the young girl deep asleep.
Lucia’s favourite colour was green, the colour of life.
“Lucia. Lucia. Wake up. Didn’t you want to go to the palace with your father today? Hurry up and wake up.”
“Mm…”
Lucia’s mother shook her a few times. She sluggishly wriggled before slowly sitting up. Lucia, who was developing well physically, was as beautiful as the sun that had just come up. Underneath the young girl’s very short sleepwear were her breasts that were slightly pronounced. Her green eyes still looked hazy, as she had yet to fully wake up from her slumber. You could faintly see her ribcage, but her smooth belly was enough to make one fantasise about her.
“Hurry up and come over for breakfast. I’m preparing to leave with your father. Lucia, this is your first time entering the palace, and you’ll get to see Her Highness. Don’t embarrass yourself.”
Her mother wore on the maid uniform for maids in the palace today. Lucia suddenly stopped as she rubbed her eyes, because she suddenly remembered today was the day her mom and dad promised to take her into the palace. Queen Vyvyan suddenly mentioned her a few days ago, asking if it was her birthday today. She told Lucia to come into the palace, since it was her birthday, and Queen Vyvyan could meet her and give her a birthday present.
