23 Prohibited entrance

[To Princess Anne, our most outstanding and amazing Princess of Lith,

We are ashamed to request this from you, but we can only hope you give a little tranquility to our poor hearts. Please, Princess Anne, you are the only one that can help us and save us at the same time. The honor of our squad in your hands.

Princess Anne, we know that you will understand and will not dim this request as overstepping as it seems. We respectfully beg you to tell Miss Moira and Master Callum that the restriction from the Queen is already lifted, and they can get inside the territory through the door. They will not be stopped nor inspected, and they can go inside walking not by jumping over the walls. Our hearts can't take it anymore.

From your always loyals,

Guard Knights at the entrance of your Tower.]

"Tia, didn't we already tell them to come through the door?"

"Yes, Miss… sigh," Tia had already notified little Moira and Master Callum that they didn't need to jump the walls. It seemed that they were scaring the knights and maids when they jumped and appeared at different places. Their intent of being stealthy and hide their presence went to naught when the screams of the maids echoed around the tower as a strange ringtone.

"Ahh!" That was one, they were about to arrive at the window.

"Princess, should I get them?"

"Not necessary," Anne was pacing around fixing the last part of the Queen's gift with a stroke of her pen. "Tia, do you think Callum can sing?"

"…" only the thought can send shivers to anyone's back. "I… I don't know about the existence of an audience brave enough to hear him, my Princess."

"…"

****

"Come, come let's take a look, the Princess is going to do something wonderful for the Queen's banquet."

"What is she doing?"

"I think she plans to sing a song."

"A song?"

"Yes, she told everyone that is a song composed by a great Master that gave her the lyrics on a dream."

"…"

"I know, but let's go and listen"

The whole castle of the Kingdom of Lith was in a huge commotion, many servants and guards were caught leaving their posts in groups to see the beautiful show of Princess Anne. Rumor said that she was doing the best gift for the Queen, and she looked like an angel in her fluffy white dress.

"You over there, tell me, why are they coming out crying?"

"Your Majesty!" the servant bowed respectfully but… he didn't know what to answer. "I beg your pardon, Your Majesty… the Princess, she told us to no tell you what she was doing."

"…"

Some of the servants that returned to their posts were seeing leaving the tower while shedding some tears. They were saying that the Princess's voice was marvelous and the song was amazing and cute. The King heard it while still in court as some of his officials were sneaking away one by one. Only he and the Duke of Mills were still inside the Palace.

[Prohibited the entrance to any of the ones listed below:

The Queen and The King of Lith.]

"Why should I be excluded too?" the King pouted at the entrance of the tower.

He had heard that his dear evildoer had something planned for the big party, and she has been preparing for the whole morning with some of the orchestra people. He wanted to hear her beautiful voice before the event but she… she didn't even let him pass.

The guards of the entrance showed him the paper. He wanted to order them to let him in despite all, but Moira was also at the entrance at a small table watching him with her big red eyes. She was tasked to give a piece of cake to anyone on the list Anne gave her if they dared to pass.

[To the King, the Duke of Mills, and the Prime Minister.]

"This is unfair. I am not the one getting older,"

"Who did you call old, darling?"

The voice of his wife, his Queen managed to stop him in his tracks to climb the wall. The three of them, the King, the Duke, and the Prime Minister had used the hidden spot that many years ago they discovered when they wanted to jump the wall.

"Da… darling, my Queen, why are you here?"

"Oh… darling, I just wanted to see you, but I guess you are not fond of this old woman," Queen Elisa was smiling, but that was not a simple smile but a scary one.

"That… I didn't mean it, my love," he was about to kneel down to beg her.

The other two ones behind him could only shake their heads, 'Pathetic, is this our King?'

"Oh Theo, Peter, your wives are in the garden waiting. Should I give them the good news?"

"My… my Queen?" the Duke of Mills was now nervously shaking while the indifferent face of the Prime Minister looked paler than ever. "We… we were instigated by his Highness."

They ran leaving the King to his wife.

"Oh my, why did they run? I was just asking them if I should tell their wives about the new auction this week, they should pamper their dear wives sometimes, don't you agree, my King?"

"Yes, my dear, my beautiful Queen."

****

Meanwhile, in the hall of the Princess tower…

"Somewhere over the rainbow…" Anne was singing such an inspiring song that the whole crowd looking at her was shedding some tears for the wonderful words. Even if… if she needed a lot of singing practice.

"…" Gandalf couldn't believe it.

"…" Mellie was present but ashamed to even look.

Tia was looking at their little Princess being a hit on the servant's hearts, even if she was so much out of tone. No one will say that she didn't at least look cute trying.

"This one was good," Anne smiled when the maids were applauding. 'Heh… I hadn't even started with the other ones… heh."
