Chapter 11 More Fruit Added to the Orchard

      Princess Marinette Snow White shakes her head. She was shown a few flower seeds.  "Those will not do," She says.

     "Hey, perhaps your highness, you will enjoy these," Juleka remarks.

      "What are they?" The princess asks.

         "It is a few blueberry bushes," Juleka answers.

       "Blueberries, ah yes, I do not care much for them. However, they might be good for the kingdom, so go ahead and plant them," Princess Marinette Snow White commands.

          "Yes, your majesty," Juleka says. She goes to the orchard, digs a hole, and plants the blueberry bushes at once.

        Juleka waters them, along with the apple tree, and the smaller peach tree. She reenters the palace and asks, "What about these sees for the strawberry plants, the grapevines, and the pear trees, your royal highness?"

     Princess Marinette Snow White nods her head in approval.  She smiles at the thought of more fruit in her orchard then there has been in years.  "Strawberries are my favorite, but I say yes to them all."

    The other servants assist Juleka this time and with their help, the seeds are planted properly in the dirt.  Then, the new plants are given there far share of water. This way they will have a fair chance to stay alive. 

    "I do hope all the fruit flourishes,  so there might be an abundance, " A servant says.

    "Yes, I agree that would be great," Another servant adds.

     " The orchard looks nice, I must agree with that for sure," Juleka states.

     " What are your hopes for it?"  Jenny asks.

       "Yes, what are they, your majesty?" The cook asks.

       "I   wish for it to be bountiful enough for all inside the castle and all those outside it alike so that we might have enough to share with others," Princess Marinette Snow White tells them.

         The servants all agree with the princess's words.  They know here to be a kind and generous ruler. They also know she rarely gets angry, but when she does it is even rarer that she executes anyone.  It is more common for her to throw someone in the dungeon, or banish them. This way they do not have to die so much.  She finds the whole business of untimely death to be quite distasteful.

        The princess hears a few moans and groans come from the room where the prince stays. She can tell he appears to be in great pain. She asks for a servant to check the orange tree out in the back.  "See to it that the oranges are ripe," She orders.

     "Yes, your majesty," He says. He goes to check on the oranges, picks a few, and shows them to the cook so she may examine them.

    "Here do the oranges look ripe?" He asks.

     "Let me see," The cook takes a close look at the oranges, smiles, and nods her head in approval.

    "These are some of the finest oranges I have ever seen, so yes they are ripe," She remarks.

        The servant rinses off a few oranges and gets the cook to make some orange juice out of them for the guest. He shows it to the princess.

      "Good, now take it to our guest, Prince Adrien Agreste upstairs," The princess commands.

      "Yes, right away, princess Marinette Snow White," He says.

        The servant goes upstairs, turns left, then left twice more, and enters the room. He sets the glass of orange juice on the stand beside the bed.  "I brought you some orange juice.  Hope this helps you as the princess did say for me to see to it that you got some," The servant explains.

       "Princess Marinette, she is the one who brought me," Prince Adrien says weakly.

       "Yes, she sure did, your royal highness,"  The servant responds.

        "I am not royal anymore as my folks took away my crown," Prince Adrien points out.

       "Ah, about that the princess has it with her, so you see you are indeed royal,"  The servant tells him.  He tips his hat, then leaves the room.

       Prince Adrien smiles a weak smile as he sips out of the cup. He thinks the orange juice to be rather delicious. It is one of the first things he has had to drink in days. He notices his arm has a funny item on it and cringes.  It is then he realizes that is the  IV tube giving him fluids. There must have been a special doctor who came to help him while he was unconscious earlier.

      Juleka goes to check on the prince and finds the curtains are shut. She shakes her head and immediately opens them. This is so the lad might have a bit of sunlight.  Perhaps, it will do him some good. She curtsies, as she politely says, "I bid you a good day, prince Adrien Agreste." She exits the room and goes back downstairs.

      A few minutes later, the cook brings him a small plate full of mashed potatoes, a few green beans, and a small side of apple sauce.  "Enjoy your highness," The cook says and makes a quick exit.

       The princess herself enters the room as he eats.  "Oh, nevermind me, Prince Adrien Agreste, as I came to return this property to you, and to see to it you are recovering well," She says.

        The prince takes the crown from her and places it back on his head where it belongs. He looks at her and says, "Thanks, your majesty, ah, Princess Marinette Snow White."

        "Your welcome, Prince Adrien Agreste, and if you need anything feel free to let the cook or my other royal servants know,''  The princess answers.

          "Princess Marinette Snow White, I owe everything to you for saving my life, so I am forever in your debt,"  The prince says with a weak voice.

        "Nonsense you would have done the same for me if I were in your shoes.  Then, again, I probably would have escaped by myself,"  The princess responds to him.
