Third part of the story of Princess capricious. Happy reading :-)
The Cabinet magic of the witch had nothing different than any magical house that you have visited.
Yes, well, eternal darkness of night and day, stills bubbling liquid luminescent and colorful, multicolored flares, stacks of books that tell their stories quietly, chimneys that cook soup, the usual.
Certainly the choice of the penumbra may have been strategic for the witch Serafina. Define it is too bad but some of its charm was the legacy of a far past. Nor had strange warts on the face or greenish. This no. The fact is that it was now a lady of a certain age, who had attended to the alternation of generations of royal families, which she threw up another mystery: how old were you? Of course the hint of hump, hoary hair disheveled, his skin a bit 'wrinkled and the croaking voice betrayed at least a hundred years. But it was always a sprightly old lady so much that one would expect such vitality in his legs so thin. He was waiting
Felix sipping tea by the fire on forever thanks to the Eternal Flame, as if they were 5 in the afternoon and night. Do not you guessed the shadow of fatigue on his face.
"Not that your visits to annoy me dear Felix, far from it." welcomed him talking about the witch with a veil of anger in his voice. "I ask you just a bit of notice next time: Ratty, the mouse messenger, it was almost a sprained ankle to rush to proclaim. And unless you really want to see me in a robe, a show that does not wish it on anyone, let me simply at least an hour. "
Felix opened his mouth in an attempt to reply but ...
"But I understand the urgency that led you here," continued with more sweetness "and in fact the issue had also crept into my thoughts."
"Care for tea with jasmine flowers?" he asked politely as he poured. "I brought him today gnomes. I find the bit of vanilla and ginger stimulate my magic power." The bubbling
of colored potions stroked the ears of the jester as Serafina sipped his tea. Again opened his mouth to tell her again and ...
"Yes, I know what you say. I already thought of a solution. The Princess is intractable and that is not appropriate for a member of the Royal Family! I prepared a spell that will suit us."
The old witch got up and went to the cupboard where a still simmering in a thick golden liquid cobalt. "That," said Serafina, "you pour in the tank that supplies water to the castle. The Princess did not drink, you want me to bring the pure spring water every day. The spell will affect all the inhabitants to the Court. Obviously also if you do not care! Get. "
Felix took the bottle in his hand where the liquid was still moving, as if an invisible fire him stir. Blue glow dancing on her face, and a shiver ran through the back. The inviting fragrance attracted him ... But What was to come?!
Sky, that careless! You'll want to know the effects of the potion dell'Intrattabilità . "Said the jester who had just opened her lips to ask. What a nuisance this hag! But we read it in thought ???!!!
" Hag? Me? I would like me to use more tact to an elderly lady. Where were we? Ah, yes. Who drinks the water where the poison is diluted forget having to use courtesy to the Royal House, and will respond in kind to any harassment. By the King and Queen without risk: they are the grace and dignity personified. Modestly, I myself took charge of their education. So now go, in a few hours the servants will be standing. No time. "
Having said this, the court jester as he found himself somewhere in the corridors of the Royal Rooms.
A little 'forbidden to set off the waterworks, and a thought stung him like a flea annoying, but if it was much easier to travel from place to place, Serafina could not usargli the courtesy to do that trick before?!
