The Curse Of The Evil Queen

"Celestina!" An abrupt shout startled me. 

I look at the person who was half-running on her way here. I am seated at the end side of my bed, sketching a figure that I haven't thought of yet. I just let my hand do the work without thinking anything.

"Why are you shouting?" I asked her confused when she can just say it in front of me.

"You need to fix yourself now!" She said in a panic, going to my dresser and looking for clothes that I don't know what is used for.

"Why?" I ask standing up from seating and going to her who is busy looking for clothes for me, I think?

"Mr. L asked for you earlier." 

"What about it?" I asked her again, without knowing anything.

She glared at my eyes "Mr. L wants you to go with him to the farm" Her words dropped like a bomb as my brain slowly understand what she said.

"What!" I shouted now helping her.

In the end, we decided to go on with a Black Crop top, High-waisted jeans, and some ankle boots to match with the clothes that we picked. I directly went to the bathroom to bathe, not minding Isabela when she called me again. 

I took a bath at a lightning speed, going out with my robe on just to get the clothes that Guineverre is trying to give me earlier but I ignored her. 

I went to the bathroom again just to put on the clothes that I will be wearing. I tucked in the T-shirt inside the jeans. I wonder, how can they tell my size? I don't remember them measuring the length and width of my body.

I wore a black watch, having a golden lining around it. The glass top showing the two arrows moving circular is bulging out showing the seamless side of it. 

I sat in front of my dresser, Guineverre is behind me, combing my wet hair. She used a blow dryer just to dry it, for her to style my hair easier. She put it in a high ponytail, leaving a few pieces of hair on the side. 

"Have this" She gave me a black retro shoulder bag. 

The bag is quite heavy, that's why I opened it up and look at what is inside. My brows furrowed, when I saw things that are not essential on where am I going to. Makeups, a wooden comb, perfumes, what is the use of this?

"Why do I have this?" I asked her, glaring. 

"You'll need that hehehe" She answered, fast-paced walking outside. 

I looked in the mirror for the last time, and sat on the couch afterward, preparing myself once Lianno finally calls me.

"Celestina!" That's my cue to finally go out of the room. In there I saw Lianno, standing formally on the side, wearing a pair of jeans and a maroon T-shirt casually. 

"Hi," I greeted him when he saw me, but my mood instantly changed when I saw him just nodding at my approach.

"Celestina…"

"Celestina…"

I groaned in annoyance as I heard a different voice trying to wake me up. My body felt so tired, as I thought of it, who put me in bed? By that mere thought, my sleepiness vanished as I sit up from lying down.

"Who put me in bed?" I asked her curiously, expecting that my current guess is correct. "Uhm…" she looked down on the floor, can't continue their words "Mr. L" in a low voice they said. My eyes widened, hindering the smile forming on my lips.

I had to think straight or I will lose it again, I reminded myself. It is nighttime now, we left the farm at 4 pm, my body feeling tired and really exhausted. After the lunch we shared together, we went again outside as he tours me around the farm. We didn't even reach half of it since it is really humungous.

I look at the clothes which is what I'm wearing, I noticed that they didn't change. The beans and the black shirt I'm wearing it still there. Maybe that's the reason why I feel that there is something wrong earlier. I look at the bottom part of my jeans, seeing stances of dirty soil that I got from harvesting earlier.

I stand up and went directly to the mirror to know my current state, my hair is in a great mess. Smell like a young girl always outside to play in the sun my legs do feel heavy I didn't even notice that I have dirt on my face.

I went to the bathroom trying to wipe off the dirt on my face, making it red as the dirt is too hard now. I sighed and put the towel down, realizing that I can damage my skin by this. Without a choice,

I took a bath even if I'm too tired to do so. Changing in very comfortable clothes and going into deep sleep again without even bothering to eat. I woke up feeling fresh, not tired anymore, but my foot is aching. The reason must be the endless walk we've taken yesterday.

The strong aroma of the black coffee sitting on the table near me made my morning brighter. I especially asked Jea for this one since I'm feeling a little bit strong for today.

I was wondering if where is Lianno at but knowing that he still has his duty as a prince here I didn't ask Guineverre about it. I'm scared that she'll find malice since I've only asked Jacob if I can stay here for a week.

"Did you eat already?" I asked them considering that I woke up rather late than usual.

"Yes," She answered, smiling in my face.

I nodded as I sighed in relief. I was preparing myself to lecture them regarding the proper time to eat. They shouldn't starve themselves as it is the most important thing in their work.

I started eating, as usual, this became my daily routine here now. Walking up, eating, going to the garden, and will just repeat out towards the day with Isabela and Jea as my companion.

Time really passes too fast that it is past, 2 pm now. I got really bored earlier, that's why I stayed on the bed, resting my feet on a pillow that I stacked earlier.

Thinking of those happy moments, my heart went downcast. The hardest part for me is that the person with whom I shared and created those happy memories became a memory in my mind as well.

My eyes watered, I look at the white ceiling and closed my eyes. Stopping those tears from falling down. I need to be strong, I hushed myself, thinking that all my life I became dependent on other people.

Well, what can I say? Staying strong when everything is falling apart is the hardest thing to do. I salute those people who are able to stay strong even in their hardest times.

She sighed, her eyes looking at me worriedly. I nodded, assuring her that I am really fine… or am I?

"Should we go to the garden?" She asked me, smiling.

I nodded to her, but first going to the bathroom washing my face up who is now red, from crying. My nose felt runny while my eyes are itchy.

I smiled in the mirror, that's right, you should just smile and keep everyone out of worry, I whispered to myself.

"Let's go?" I told her, chuckling.

She wrapped her hands around mine as we walk towards the garden. The walls are in there now. I pouted when I realized that I can't see the good surroundings now. 

I saw Jacob standing on the side, waiting for the two of us with a smile on his face. They look cheerful, making my mood getting lighter now.

"What are you two planning?" I asked, glaring at them jokingly which made all of us laugh.

"Since it is our payday and day-off now, we should celebrate!" Guineverre jumps out, raising both of her hands in midair.

She pulled me inside, revealing the table with foods inside it, the 2 chairs were placed around it. Are they allowed to do this though? I looked at them worriedly.

"Don't worry, I asked Mr. L's permission about this" She answered, she seems to know what is running in my head.

"Good," I told her.

We went to the setup in joy, joking around while linking our arms with each other. We sit on the chairs, surrounding the table in the middle. 3 kinds of food were placed in the middle.

"Did you cook this?" I asked them, laughing.

"No,"

She answered, wiggling her eyebrows making my stomach ache because of too much laughter.

"I'll treat that as a yes" I smiled.

We both looked at each other with excitement evident on our faces, earning a laugh at me.

"By the way, where is Lianno?" I asked both of her curiously. I didn't see Lianno nor the other girl and some guards roaming around the house. 

Did both of them went out?
