//------------------------------// // Chapter 9 // Story: Princess Malia // by Creativa-Artly01 //------------------------------// Bright and early the next day, Princess Malia gets right to work on planning the Three Kingdom Ball. After all, it is in the next two months time. The first thing she does is prepare and send out the invitations to all three of the kingdoms: her own subjects, King Hexton and his subjects, and then to the third kingdom, the Flitter Bug kingdom. (Flitter Bugs are a combination between horses and small insects such as ladybugs, butterflies, bumble bees, and dragonflies). Princess Malia keeps her end of the promise as well and doesn't send any invitations to her brother's kingdom of Capital. Now, that the invites are out of the way, she gets to work on planning the menu and making the flower selections. She is going to make this the most unforgettable Three Kingdom Ball ever. She can definitely guarantee that. Over the next few hours, she continues to work when she is interrupted by her brother. "Why wasn't my kingdom invited to the Three Kingdom Ball? Sister, ours is a joint kingdom, so why wasn't I invited?" "Because of your rash outbursts like this one you're having right now," Malia replies as calmly as she can. "If you'd learn not to be so rash, we might invite you to more things, more major events. Did you ever think about that?" She then flies off leaving him in the dust. Her mad brother flies back to his kingdom, his face completely red. She's right and he hates that she's right. Alas, he has no choice but to listen to her. After all, she's the one in charge of it, not him.
