CHAPTER  10

 

 

The next day was all about preparations for Coronation Day.  Dress making, dress fitting, decoration double checking, yet no notable events.  Except one.

It was the end of the last event:  the rehearsal for the Coronation itself.

The crown had just been placed on Heara’s head.  She had done her best, yet she couldn’t help a dreamy smile. 

Caro noticed that.  She, of course, had done it perfectly, but that was of little importance then.  She triumphantly walked towards Heara and looked her in the eyes, almost daringly.  Heara didn’t know where that was coming from. 

“Did you know about those thieves that got caught?”

“Umm..”

Without waiting for an answer, Caro continued.

“Yes, they were very rebellious.  Glad they got hanged in the end.”  

Heara was starting to feel suspicious. 

“Yes, surprisingly, I know a lot more than you think.  By the way, you dropped this” she said, releasing something in Heara’s hand as she walked away.   It was a pink tiara.  It was Heara’s pink tiara.  She looked shocked at it, then at Caro.  She couldn’t believe it.  Caro knew everything.

Heara was walking worriedly through  her room.  If Caro knew, she would surely tell everyone.   That was like her.  Yet no one had mentioned that to her.  That was weird.  Why hadn’t Caro told anyone?  But she couldn’t really worry about that.  She had to get her sleep for Coronation Day.
