Chapter - 19

Later Snow told her to be familiar with him and the place as he needs to teach her how to behave like a highness in royal way. She nodded and asked if he told his brothers about everything.

"You want me to die at such an early age by telling them the truth"

"But shouldn't you tell them yourself before they found it from someone else?"

"No one knows this except you and me. If I tell them this they will scold me to use you as a tool".

Flora laughs and assures him that she will save him from them but he should tell them the truth. He agreed but told her that he will tell them at her coronation party so till then let's keep it a secret and then give them a surprise.

"They know about my coronation?", asked flora in surprise, Snow denied and said that they only know there is some one chosen for it but they don't know that it's her.

He told her that first, she needs to change her dressing style as princesses always wear royal clothes and she is the highness so she should look more loyal.

"Did you mean royal?", teased Flora on his wrong vocabulary.

"Yeah that's only. I am still practising my vocabulary skills", said Snow.

He clapped and servants appeared with plenty of dresses, she was shocked to see so many dresses and that too so beautiful. He sits down and asked her to try them. She asked in shock that she needs to try all of them. He nodded and asked servants to help her. One by one she wears the dresses and he accepts some designs and rejects others.

"I think for now this much is okay", said Flora as she is tired. He gives her water and asks her to have some rest and just listen to him as he will tell her some rules of the royal family. He took a scroll and start reading the rules:

Highness should not treat her fellow rulers with disrespect. 

She should never decline any royal invitation. 

She should never go out alone without security. 

In future when she gets married, she will still be called 'Highness' instead of 'Queen'. 

Lastly, after being Highness she can't reveal her identity of being human on Earth for the safety of it.

He folded the scroll, threw it and told her that except for the last one, she can break the other rules as she wish because rules are meant to be broken. She laughed and told him that she will try not to break any of them. Later he ordered Mr Walt to bring the thing he asked to prepare. He brings a rack full of different varieties of footwear. Snow bent down and told her that he will help her to try them. She told him that he doesn't need to do it, she can do it but he insists saying she helped him to reunite with his brothers so it's his duty to fulfil all her wishes.

"Thank God the younger ones are different from the elders", said Flora to amuse him.

"But you liked the elder one only", Snow teased her by indirectly referring to her relationship with Leo.

"Wh-what nonsense! I don't like anyone", replied Flora in an awkward voice.

She tried the footwear and he praised her as she was handling everything very well, be it heels, flats or shoes. Then day by day their training goes on and he teaches her about eating etiquette, talking like a Highness, dancing and many other things.

Finally, the day of the coronation comes and he told her to not get nervous as she is all set to stop the show. She asked him if there will be many people and he replied that she is the most powerful ruler of the future and of course, everyone will be there to have a glance. He further told her the schedule that first she will have the coronation ceremony, then meet with the Kings of other Galaxies and at last dinner party at night.

She was already very nervous and thinking about facing so many people made her more nervous but she was confident that she would be able to do it.

They left for Andromeda Galaxy in royal aircraft. Everyone was waiting for their Highness and the Glass Palace was all decorated for her welcome. When they landed, he helped her to come down and she held his hands and they both waited outside the door waiting for the attendant to call them. Meanwhile, a person comes to Flora and royally greets her on his knees and introduces himself as Neil, her assistant and protector. She gets excited and tells him to not be so formal with her as he is now her family, just like a younger brother. He was surprised to hear this as nobody ever told their assistants to be their family. He promised her that in future he will protect her no matter what to which she teased him saying if he can't protect her then she will do it as she is more powerful.

Attended made the announcement "Please welcome our Highness and to escort her King Snow of Frozen Galaxy". Doors opened and they both entered. Her presence makes the show stop, everyone was stunned to see her, and all the kings were flabbergasted by her changed personality as she was looking completely different from the one they know. Snow escorted her to her seat and told her that he is going to his brothers and she just needs to remember what she practised. Neil stood behind her and everyone was stunned as she was looking so elegant and beautiful in her dress which has diamonds and a design of the universe. Snow went to his brothers and before they could ask anything he told them that all of their doubts will be cleared after the ceremony.

Flora was very nervous and looking for the kings in the crowd and as soon she saw them she relaxed and smiled. They waved at her and she was about to wave back but was interrupted by the attendant. He announced, "Now as per the rituals let's welcome the king brothers to put the crown on our highness and present her with the Beauty of Andromeda".

The four brothers move towards the stage and look so stunning and hot making the girls shout for them and Flora thought that she didn't realise they are so handsome. They got on stage and Flora said in a slow voice "Did you guys use some magic to look this attractive today?".

"Maybe it's your magic", they replied to make her blush.

They put the crown on her and as soon as she got crowned, the royal band began to chant the royal music and everyone cheered for her. They present her with the 'Beauty of Andromeda' which is a pearl necklace with 6 coloured pearls presenting the great galaxies of the Cosmos universe. This is the moment Flora realised that she is the Highness and she needs to look after the galaxy like her own home. After the ceremony was over, she was on the throne and all the kings needed to introduce themselves, kneel to her and present their gifts as per royal ethics. One by one every king did the same and now it's the turn of king brothers and she got excited.

King Snow came forward, kneeled and greets her "Your Highness, I am the king of the Frozen Galaxy and want to present you with an invitation to my galaxy to choose your present from his great designs". Flora replied that she will just take this one as a present indicating the dress she is wearing. They both looked at each other and smiled.

Now it's King Dragon's turn, he kneeled and greets her "Your Highness, I am the king of the Drake Galaxy and for your present, I prepare today's dinner especially as per your preference". She smiled and told him that finally, she will get to eat the universe's best food again.

King Dark comes forward, bowed and greets her "Your Highness, I am the king of the Shadow Galaxy and as your present, I would like to give you the shadow guards for your safety". Flora told him that someone teaches her to protect herself so if she keeps the guards then that person will get upset. Dark smiled and assured her that the person will be happy if she accepts them.

Now the moment came when her heart was beating so fast and she was more nervous than at the time of entry, King Leo was about to kneel to greet her. He comes forward, smirks at her, and greets her "Your Highness, let me welcome you to our royal family. I am King of Bright Galaxy and for your present, I want to offer myself". Everyone was shocked with his words and Flora was shocked after what he said. Before she can react he said, "I mean I will be your royal doctor and she can come to him anytime she needs help".

His brothers smiled as they knew what he meant earlier and looked at him. She was taken aback and just nodded as to what can she say after his public flirting. The attendant said, "Just a moment back it was shocking but indeed King Leo is humorous. Now before the dinner party, Highness can rest for a bit".

Neil escorted Flora to her room, it was big and beautiful as she imagined with a small balcony and the royal rest chair similar to what the king brothers have. There was a soft and comfortable bed with a sofa beside the window. The whole vibe was so royal and imaginary for her. Neil asked her if she wanted anything and that she can call him anytime.

"By the way, you are a royal assistant so didn't I call you Mr Neil?" asked Flora out of curiosity.

"Highness I am still practising and didn't get my royal certificate yet, so it's just Neil for now"

"That's better as now there is no formality between family"

"Family?"

"Yes, didn't I tell you to be my younger brother? I mean it"

"Highness, I don't have a sibling so I don't know what it is like to be siblings"

"That's simple. See sibling is that relationship which is most unique like they can share their hearts in need but don't share their food even if you beg. They will fight with you but if someone else tries to mess with you then no one can protect each other better than siblings. You can gossip with them and make blunders but at the end of it there will be a smile on your face to see them with you", explained Flora.

Neil gets emotional and says that she is the first one to call him a brother and he will make sure to protect her even if have to fight with great king brothers.

"Really?", said King Snow from behind and Neil got scared asking him to not take his words seriously. It's just his way to show Highness what he meant. Flora told them not to tease her brother and asked Neil to be easy.

Neil took his leave and Snow came to Flora that it was time for action, she asked him if he told his brothers everything. He denied it and said that he will tell them everything in front of her so that they can't scold me. Flora was even more scared than him as she knew that first she will get scolded for leaving without informing Leo and Dark.

"What are you thinking?", asked Snow.

"How to stop early death", replied Flora with a scared expression which makes Snow more anxious. He told her that his brothers will be here anytime so she needs to think fast. She sits on the sofa and told him to sit beside her as now they can't escape this so better face it together.
