"Sofia?" Amber whispers.

Sofia grabs her sister and puts her finger to her mouth telling her to be quiet.

"King Henrick, please let me leave," Nasir says.

"Not until after the Flower Festival," Henrick says.

"Why should I watch the Flower Festival?"

"Because it shows you the reason why people love living here even if it is freezing the whole year round."

"What do flowers have to do with it?"

Unable to stand by anymore Sofia jumps out, "Because the flowers have the power to bring the whole kingdom together and make the citizens feel appreciated, look," Sofia gestures her hand to the commons where Astrid, Hildegard's older sister, is helping a few of the kids of Freezenberg with their snowmen.

"Daddy, can I go help the children with their snowmen?" Hildegard asks as she walks up with a whole bouquet of Nettledrops that she got from the royal gardener.

"Of course Hildy, that is what the Flower Festival is for, not to celebrate the flowers but to also bring the kingdom together," Henrik says to his younger daughter.

"I don't understand what the Flower Festival has to do with me?"

"Nasir, you said that you didn't know why everyone in your kingdom was leaving to Enchancia and Wei-Ling but as I know both kingdoms and their customs as well as yours it's because those kingdoms show appreciation for their citizens."

"But I feed them and give them clothing. Things that they need to stay alive."

"But villagers may not be royal but they are still an important part of the kingdom," Sofia says, "I should know since I was one."

"This does not involve you Sofia," Nasir snarls at the princess.
