The tree entered the human city. All the streets were crowded and the entire city was decorated with flags and flowers. He jumped off his horse and walked down the street. A small shop was filled with all kinds of fruits and vegetables. He walked over to the stand and the shopkeeper asked, "is there anything you need you man".

"Sir Do you know where I can find the maiden Camellia" he said, while having a soft smile. The shopkeeper smiled and answered, "You mean the prince's fiancé". A bad taste filled his mouth as he then sighed out, "yes".

The shopkeeper told him the way to the palace and that the wedding was to be held in the evening. He rode towards the palace with a heavy heart, while think over what he was to say to Camellia.

The gates were guarded heavily. He told the horse to stay nearby and wait for him to call. When he tried to walk through the gate, guard stopped him. The guard asked, "Where do you think you are going".

"I am a friend of Camellia," he said while looking towards the guard with confused eyes. The guard made a coughing sound and said, "Nobody is allowed to enter except for people with invitation to tonight's wedding". The tree steps closer to the gate, but the guard blocked his path with a sword.

He sighed, but then his eyes fell on the servants entrance were a delivery was being made. A smiled formed on his face as he bowed to the guard and said, "I will leave then". He walked away and sneaked his way towards the servant's entrance. He took a large bag of flour of a carriage and walked through the entrance, while using the bag to cover his face.
