"Vivian." The Princess called.
"Yes, your Highness." Vivian said and faced the Chamberlain, "As the Recorded Will implies, the Garden of Moon Lilies is to be managed directly by Her Highness, Princess Charlotte. As a command from the late Queen Mother, this duty must be officialized and recorded as a mandate from the court."
"Done." The chamberlain pulled out a piece of paper, wrote a few words, and used his ring to stamp it.
"YES!"
The Princess was over-excited as she jumped off her seat and hugged Vivian immediately.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you."
It was the single happiest moment she had in two days straight. Justice was served and everything was as it was supposed to be.
With a mandate coming from the Queen Mother's will, the King himself will have to honor his Mother's Will even for appearance's sake.
"Thank you, my Lord. This will be all." Vivian said and retreated out of the office with the others.
Immediately, the Princess commanded Knight Abraham Talbot to lift the prohibition on the Garden of Moon Lilies and brought her maids and gardeners back to the garden.
***
The sun was setting and word that the Garden of Moon Lilies was returned officially to the Princess started to travel. How it happened and who was involved made quite a fuss, especially when everyone focused on the return of Vivian Moore to the Palace.
Above all else, she was invited here by the Princess.
But right in front of the garden, the happiness of the Princess was reaching the heavens as she kept running in her garden with no restraint.
She was so happy she could fly to the point where she hugged Vivian and Edith multiple times at that.
As it was getting dark, Vivian asked to take her leave now that her work was over. Still, the Princess promised her an incredible reward for what she had done today.1 Vivian, however, refused material rewards and asked for nothing. With that, Vivian and Edith started heading out from the Royal Palace.
"My people should have brought a carriage over. I think we can complete the interrogation on the way home." Vivian said as she turned to Edith.
Edith suddenly stopped and on her face "The Interrogation!" was written all over.
The Baron's son's murderer or the Princess' trusted advocate? Edith couldn't decide which one she should see Vivian as.
With the interrogation papers by her side, Edith walked ahead of Vivian and stopped her right where the carriage was waiting.
"The Figure of Speech. I still can't get it out of my head." Edith spoke and had that determined look in her eyes like the one she had this morning when she was questioning Vivian, "The Queen Mother said that the flowers she raised grew thorns and poison. This is not a figure of speech, right?"
"You are asking me?" Vivian replied with a tired face.
"If it was, our heads would have rolled. You told me it was unwise and you would help me out." Edith said and then doubt filled her shaking voice, "But just if... it was."
She was in denial.
If the Queen Mother said that the Royal Family has thorns and poisons then... It was unthinkable.
