The Paradox (OLD)

Sofya knocked on her bedroom door “Um, K-karol, are you finished yet?”

“Almost,” Karol said from inside the room holding up two different types of boots black ankle boots with ribbons at the back or blue spat-style ankle boots.

 “Hmm… defiantly these!” Karol chose the second pair.

He placed the ankle boots at the bottom of a wooden clothes’ model wearing the dress and hat that Karol made for her. “You can come in now!”

Sofya walked and looked at the outfit; it was a long blue navy blue, navy blue jacket and matching clothe hat.

“It’s wonderful” Sofya gasped.

“I’ll leave to get changed, just call me if there is a problem” Karol winked leaving the room.

            Lev walked beside Marya carrying twice as many boxes of chocolate than she had yesterday. Marya was wearing a laced black Cheongsam and high-heeled shoes with bows on the ankle straps.  

           Suddenly, a powerful wind blew the mansion’s main doors open and six bats and a black eagle flew inside straight towards the main sitting room. The wind knocked Lev over sending the boxes, one of them hit Marya on the head. Lev ran away screaming.

“Hmm…? Humans are strange creatures…” she sighed picking up a box.

              A long black-haired boy was showing off to Sukie, Anne and Rita, flipping his hair and going on and on about how strong and brave and handsome he was. Rita was holding a magazine and look at the other maids shaking her head.

“Don’t believe those Gaulish magazines, they tell lies!”

“Well I believe them, and it says you’re scared of nearly everything,”

The boys flipped his hair “See, lies!”

              Marya appeared behind and in an ever so-sweet voice “Hello Andrei~”

Andrei jump screaming and held on to one of the beams screaming “Get the wicked witch away from me!!”

“It must be men then.” Marya sighed and sat down in an arm chair beside a long coffee-table, covered in wines, fancy cheeses, crackers, cupcakes and other posh treats. Around the coffee-table were two arms-chairs at the two ends and two long couches running along at its sides.

          On the left side couch there was sitting two men and one woman. The man on left, looked old, he wore a black tail coat with a puffy white cravat and shirt, the second man, his great-grandson but only looked like his son, was wearing a black suit and tie with wasn’t tied properly, he’s hair was messy and dirty blonde shade, it was hard to believe he was a related to royalty, let alone a king. The woman wore a long golden Elizabethan style dress, long wavy/curly golden hair and a red queen’s grown. 

They were the Kaiser, Kaiserin of Reich and the 1st King of Preussen.

Fredrick, Viveka and Giles Habsburg, Andrei, is Giles’ younger brother, Fredrick and Viveka’s 3rd son and the King of Sachsen.  

“Maybe she doesn’t want to marry me anymore,” Giles worried

              Karol walked into the room holding Sophie’s hand. Sophie stood up in the centre of the room, Giles walked up beside her.

“Wow, you’re so pretty” Giles blushed

Karol appeared behind Sofya with a furry-white cap in his hands. He placed it on her shoulders, “Maybe you two should go for a long walk out side in the forest,” Karol suggested joyfully.
