A road to inspiration

It is not rags to riches but is riches to rags.

Established inside a mountain, the small town called Meltwater Fields was a home to many people lead by King George. The town had its hidden secretive tunnels, which was of great importance to the kingdom of Meltwater Fields.

The town itself gave out a majestic look with its ebony rooftops, granite walls and white sand beaches. Meltwater Fields had a mythical atmosphere. The town shared a prosperous economy supported by jewel crafting and hunting. The main attraction was the statue of King Simon, forefather of King George built around 70 years ago and designed by humans of the time.

 

The town had its headquarters in the Clifton Palace. Five solid, round towers, shared both a defensive and a decorational aspect of this elegant castle, all connected with big heavy walls made out of sandstone. The windows were widely scattered on the walls in a symmetrical pattern. The regular gate with thick wooden doors, a draw bridge and strong defenses gives a safe place for the royal family to rest in. The castle shows the signs of decay, but the inhabitants living around were all determined to repair any damages to make this castle to be around for coming ages.

 

King lived with his two queens �" Queen Tiara and Queen Catherine and their 3 children. Princess Susan, the former queen’s daughter; Prince Peter and Prince Patrick, sons of later Queen. Prince Peter was married to Princess Stella.

King George loved both her Queens and their children equally and everyone in the royal family were given equal rights.

Queen Catherine, though was the second Queen, was much more humble and grateful by nature. “Your gratitude determines your blessings” is what she believed. She had no daughter and thus, loved Susane like her own child. Always taught her children, “Never praise yourself. Let others do it.”

Queen Catherine was quite elegant. She used to sit on her throne embracing her feminity to her subjects. A Queen by status, but a Messiah by caliber to the women of Meltwater fields. She gave her life serving the women of her town be it a health issue or a severe disease. For Catherine, every human born on Earth was equal and so she treated even the servants of the palace kindly.  She proved to be a true inspiration to her daughter-in-law Princess Stella. Stella was never treated as a son’s wife but as a daughter by Catherine. Immense love was seen between them.

 

                     Even after 20 years of Queen Catherine’s death, Stella had kept their mother alive in their thoughts. Too alive, perhaps. From tip to toe, actions to reactions, conducts to obligations she was analogous to her.

The humanity would have never witnessed such a splendid relationship before. Stella shared A truly blessed mother-daughter relationship with Queen Catherine.

Stella had adopted and learnt so many brilliant values from Catherine. She has instilled a moral compass in her which leads to the direction of compassion. She loved gardening and cared for animals around. This is was all inherited from her Mother Catherine.

 

                Though, not a Royal family now, but Queen Catherine’s dedication towards its subject has left a tremendous amount of respect for this family and they are still treated as the upper hand in the town. The Evergreen Cottage is still like the Clifton Palace to the subjects of Meltwater fields and Stella is same like Catherine to all except one.

 

      “Are you taking his side against me?” asked her sister-in-law. “No. I am not taking the side of my husband, neither yours. I choose to be on the side of truth.”

“Oh just shut up. Don’t try to enact like Catherine. I hated her and you are the same - Drama Queen” Susan leaves the room in anger.

“What does she think of herself? I am the princess. So what if we don’t leave in that mansion now. I am the direct descendent of my Father �" King George of Meltwater Fields. And her husband and his brother-in-law is not.”

“She also supports you, my child when you are right.” Said a shriveling voice from behind. “Anger is not always a solution. Look at her Susan, she never complaints, instead she tries to keep all of King’s children together. She never distinguishes between you and them neither your brothers do.” Said their oldest head maid.

“Betty they are not my real brothers.” “But you share a common father my child.” “I don’t care. I was and I am the only inheritor of King George.” Said Susan grudgingly.

 

“What is that makes her hate us so much? Just a different womb?” astonished Patrick asked. “Unfortunately yes.” Peter responded while flowering the plants in the garden.

“But Queen Catherine always cared for her as her own daughter. Her love for each one of us was equally priceless. You always try to keep this family together the way our Mother always wished to but this Arrogant young lady will never ever understand” said Patrick looking at Stella. “Give her some time, you both. She will understand us when she will understand that Blood is thicker than water. She is not cruel at heart.” Said Stella smilingly.

 

“How could you be so calm when she speaks to you so harsh?” asked Peter.

Stella smiled at them and walked towards the gate.

“She is just a mirror image of Mother Catherine.” Added Patrick.
