"You're behaving worse than any swineherd!" Cried Medea. "I'm ashamed to be your sister!"
Her words hit Heera with full force. "Did you therefore ignore me in the morning?"
"Yes and I will continue to do so! I do not want to be associated with your bad behaviour. Perhaps you do not care about the prince, but for me he is not like that! "
Although Heera was hurt, s she could not bear to see her sister cry. "Calm down, I'll not tell anyone that we have found the strawberries together. You will collect the praise and if we're lucky, the Prince will send me home at last. "
"It would be best for everyone," Medea agreed with her sniffed and nodded
Prince Lean sat on the throne, behind his mother and his father standing. For an hour they waited for the return of the candidates. Agnes was the first person who entered the hall. Snowflakes hung in her glossy hair, but her skin was so spotless and pure, as if she had spent the day in a warm place and not in the freezing cold. In her hand she held a basket, which was covered with a cloth.
They bowed to the royal family, but with a raised look.
"Welcome back, Agnes," Lean greeted her and tried to see if the basket filled or was empty. She was one of those candidates for whom he had put his hand into the fire, that they would come back with outstanding things. But Agnes rose and went to meet the Queen with a proud smile on her lips. Only when she had arrived before this, they aired peppy red cloth and came to light a large basket full of juicy strawberries, which she handed to Niobe.
The Queen smiled graciously. "Thank you."
Agnes stepped back, gave the prince a seductive smile and stepped out of the room. Lean did not know what to make of her. She was the oldest of the candidates and a cool beauty. In him she made both a brute energy, as well as mysterious impression. She aroused his curiosity, but met him from simultaneously by her apparent coldness. Perhaps he had mistaken her, how else could she have passed the test?
Next Selene, Lenya, Celestia and Jone arrived almost simultaneously. None of the four girls had found strawberries, so all four were visibly sad. Lean felt sorry, but he did not regret their failure too. He had not got to know any of them any closer. They all seemed unimpressive, apart from their beautiful appearance,.
Erina entered the room trembling with cold. Her cheeks were almost as red as her hair, but she had not come empty-handed and handed Niobe with shy smile who demanded strawberries. The queen kissed her affectionately on the cheek. Lean had noticed that his mother had taken a liking to this shy girl. Erina was only the second and previously he was with his bet that only three would make it, not bad.
The N EXT was Daphne. As soon as they entered the room, lean already knew that she had failed. Her anger was evident. Nevertheless, she showed them the empty basket.
"Has anyone ever passed the test?" She asked, without expecting a positive response.
"Already two girls have come back with full baskets," Niobe said, smugly.
Daphne yanked incredulous eyes. "But how did they manage that? Whole forest is snow and the ground is frozen!""
"Maybe they have thoroughly searched than you," Lean grinned cheekily. He was pleased with her anger, which made them more human and showed him her ambition.
"Impossible!" Daphne uttered. ""There must be some magic at work!"
The Queen, however, did not like Daphne applied art. "Mind yourself! Don’t become interested in what way the others have mastered their examination. Simply give yourself more trouble the next time! "
Daphne pressed her lips firmly together. Angry tears sparkled in her eyes as she left the hall.
After her Medea and Heera entered the hall together. While Medea strode upright and with a beaming smile on the Prince, Heera shoulders slumped and did not even look at. Both bowed to the royal family, but only Medea handed the queen a basket full of ripe strawberries. Niobe felt confirmed in her
