Chapter 13 - As The Beginning 1

Élise, the daughter of Baron Luke, was known for her famous counts. On the night of Dehris, she was invited to tell us her most recent count, and the best among all. She insisted on the fact that we were not going to understand the count. After some argument, back's and forth's, she agreed.

"The night is not actually dark; we just refuse to see the colors of the night. After the sun, we have the moon. Like the plants, the moon is also affected by the sunlight. There is a mystery in this world, as we cannot see the color of the night; we can also not see it," she exclaimed.

People stood and started clapping. The royal mother looked uneasy, so I said, "I will give 1500 pieces of gold to whoever's explanation pleases me, and my royal mother."

Duke Francois as usual was the first one to give it a chance. "Alfrédo Le Grand, himself said 'once the night comes the eyes shut' wish means we refuse to see the colors of the night because we choose to sleep," he explained. 

Looking at Élise's face, we could see that she was containing her laugh. "I don't agree," my mother said, "next" she added.

Our guest of the kingdom of Choet, the Princess Eudes, asked, "May I?" I nodded a yes. "In the morning, we have clouds to hide our bodies from the heat and the light of the sun. On the other hand, in the darkness of the night, we have the light of the stars attracting us to the beauty of the moon. But as a cat, the night has also been cursed by people. They believe hiding from it is the best solution. I think she meant that the true beauty is where we expect it the least." She continued.

Sir Léon said, " The beauty of creation did bring desolation. My Queen is she not right in your sight?" Truth be told, I also thought she was right, even though she was not entirely right; she had the best answer, and no one else was going to give it a try. After reflecting, I spoke, "Sir Léon," I paused, "reward her," I continued.
