Winter and Adam were partners in class and they often hung out together. Winter knew his birthday was the day before faiths birthday.  She painted a portrait of him and her in class.  It was one with them glaring at each other.  Rumi slowly walked upto her daughter.
"Beautiful ." Rumi whispered.
"Thanks mom." Winter Said with a smile.  Winter finished it and let it dry. She nervously went to Adam sense he was talking with a girl and he was very kind to her. He held her hand and Winter stepped away and left. Adam rushed after her.
"Snow! What's the problem. "
"Nothing......honest i.....I just wanted to tell you happy birthday. " Winter Said and Adam saw her tears fall. He wiped her tears ."how can you be nice to everyone the same ? It's stupid.  You confuse me." Winter Said looking away and Adam understood now.
"That girl is ny cousin. She's deaf so I was holding her hand to my lips to tell her about where the party was." Adam answered and Winter sighed.
"Now I'm the stupid one." Winter groaned.  "But I wanted to show you something. " Winter then went to the hollow tree across from her house. Adam then saw the painting and he then kissed her and picked her up. Winter froze blushing.
"Thank you! " Adam said looking into her eyes so gentle it made her warm.
"Uh....your welcome. " Winter whispered . He then took her hand .
.....
Faith walked home from school with winter who chatted about the kiss and faith was excited . The girls giggled walking in the yard and faith saw amir and Veshnozel standing guard.  She and him smile at each other quickly looking away . Faith said hi with Winter.   Veshnozel and amir followed them and faith walked beside Veshnozel on purpose. She almost slipped chatting with Winter but Veshnozel caught her and her heart fluttered happily.
"Thanks I almost ruined my birthday. " faith said and he said your welcome. She flirted slowly walking away swaying.
"Is it me or does faith have a crush on you?" Amir whispered.
"She does?"
"You can't tell? No girl looks at a guy like that unless she feels something. Let her down gently huh? She's a woman tomorrow but good hearts like hers never change unless they get broken." Amir advised not knowing they already chatted and expressed their emotions.  Veshnozel nodded anyway.  not fully but it was sure.
"Race you to the pool!!" Faith shouted . Winter ran with her laughing.
.....
Faith got dressed for her birthday and she let her hair down looking older . Veshnozel promised he wouldn't look until the ceremony. 
"Your highness. " Amir shouted.
"Hm?"
"Your parents are waiting ."
"Wait a sec!" Faith then sat on the balcony and meditated quickly to God and she dashed outside to her parents. Faith breathed in and out nervously.
"Don't he nervous . You are great with words like your mother and I'm not talking about your biological mom ." Winslow encouraged making Faith smile.
"Thanks daddy."
"Go on kiddo." Winslow replied as they stopped at the main mansion.  They went inside and the family was together again.  The nobles generation was finally aligned.
.....
Faith was helped dressed in gold and a heavy cloak that she insisted for dramatic entrance.  Winter stood with Winslow and windle as she came out. Faith walked through the doors straightening her glasses. They walked in the ceremony and Veshnozels breath was taken away.  The young trainees stared.
"Damn she's bad as hell."
"That she is." Veshnozel whispered. They then crowned her and she began her speech with love.
"Wow. I'm finally 18! Never saw that coming. " They laughed.  "I'm grateful though.  It's taught me so much.  I've learned to defend and cherish my kingdom and my people,  I've learned to love and give second chances and lastly I learned to understand and have empathy for others in my family and outsiders. I promise as a princess to appreciate,  understand,  and treat you all with love no matter how much you guys drive us crazy." Faith bowed and everyone followed.  'Now let's hug!" Faith hugged everyone and when she got to Veshnozel the hug felt enchanting.  He was proud of her .
"I'm proud of you."
"Thanks zel. Wanna meet somewhere during the party. "
"I'd love to my dear." He whispered and windle noticed their flirtatious behavior.
"Well well. It looks like our daughter Is in love with a fairy.". Windle whispered to Winslow .
"She did say she'd be a fairy one day." Winslow replied.
"Awww." Windle said loving it was coming true.
