The Pretty Beast (On-Going/update on January)

Chapter 4: Disappointment

In few days later, her mom left completely. She saw her mother was happy so she decided to be happy for her mom. Beatrice was always in the palace, they are currently in war so she decided to stay even she liked to go outside. It was seven years ago when she played with the villagers, she was fascinated by the little house she sees, their pedestrian and their markets, the people who greet them with a smile. That was 5 years ago. Belinda sighs while remembering the past and decided to get out of the bed then she went to her favorite garden where she always spends until noon. Her mom said it was her father's favorite garden, everyone does she think. It was a breathtaking sight, no one can resist.

Belinda approached the flower and removed the withered leaves. 

"Why are you doing that? Don't you have any assistant to command?" Her godmother said behind her back. She was not surprised, she getting used to suddenly showing from somewhere without noticing her, she thought her Godmother was like a cat, you can't feel her presence until she talks. 

"No need, I actually personally do it."

"Is that so?"

She stared at her and smiled. Suddenly she wave her hand, in an instant the dried leaves was gone like it's not there. Belinda was shocked and amazed at what had happened. 

"I am a fairy, my Princess." Jane immediately explains when she noticed that the princess was in wide eyes and still in shocked.

"Wow!"

"The Queen doesn't want to inform you that we have powers, so I understand that you are in shocked."

"Huh? Powers? As in We? with whom? I don't understand."

"With the Queen, we both have powers." Jane went to the chair in the corner next to the table. She waved her hands again and a tea and tea cup appeared on the table, the chair move for Jane to sit. "Come here Princess, join me." 

Belinda followed what she said and sit on her opposite. "is that so? Then I am a fairy too?" 

"No." 

"Huh? Why? I thought my mom was a fairy?" she thought is she was making fun with her. If so, why? 

Jane smiled and stare her again. "Now I just realized that you actually looked like your mother, so beautiful." Jane said. 

Belinda was uncomfortable. "Thank you. Uhm.. But why I am not a fairy if mom was a fairy?" she asked. "Is it that I am not a biological daughter of my mother?" She uncertainly asked. 

Jane suddenly laughed. "Hahaha! She is your real mother, Belinda" then she hold down her last cup and stared at her again. "The thing is, you cannot inherit her power or you can't become fairy because your father is mortal, if your father was our kind, then you will be one of us." 

Silence. Belinda doesn't have reaction in her Godmother revelation. She is in shocked. 

"I got to go Belinda, you enjoy yourself okay?" She turns back and walked away. 

Belinda released a deep sigh and decided to drink her tea. Ah! She don't know what she feel in the situation she learned, does she be glad that she learned she was a daughter of a fairy? She shook her head. It doesn't make sense neither she learned to know it or not. She laughs at the thought, how disappointing. Belinda looked at the roses in the garden and silently whispered. "Dad, do you know that mom was a fairy? Hahaha.."
