Princess and the Pea Chapter 6

I gurantee you that from now on, it won't be boring.  ;)

Chapter 6:
Princess Marilynn was in town that day. Her parents had sent her off to Daffodil Acres to congratulate Prince Samson.
Princess Marilynn felt glum. She was regretful that she had not told the truth that morning, just a week ago, about the pea. She actually liked Prince Samson, but now it was all over. He was married to another princess.
She rode in her royal carriage all the way to the Daffodil Acres castle. She looked around, and she saw Prince Samson, by himself in the royal gardens. “Stop the carriage!” She demanded. “I want to get out.”
Princess Marilynn got off and approached the prince. “Congratulations, Prince Samson,” she murmured shyly.
Prince Samson looked up. “Oh, it’s you.” He nodded his head at her.
“I heard you got married, so I came here to wish you good luck in your marriage.”
“I see. Thank you for your concern.”
Princess Marilynn looked down. “You’re welcome,” she said. And then she left, back in her carriage, off back home. She knew she could’ve stayed longer and talked more with the prince, but she didn’t know what she could’ve said. So she left.
Prince Samson watched her leave. He closed his eyes and sighed. If only, if only, he wondered. If only my mother dear would’ve let me get married to her. She seems so much more pleasant than Princess Lila, that’s for sure.
Princess ‘Lila’ was busy. She was fumbling in her room, searching the drawers for the next step. Oh come on, come on, she told herself. Hurry up and find it.
Helen was also busy. She got all the dark magic she could and conjured up an incantation to begin the plan. She muttered it to herself. There, she said. I’m ready. Now if Linda would just hurry up or she’ll be affected too.
Outside the castle, the castle guards suddenly felt funny. For some reason, they felt a strange fatigue envelope them, and one by one, they collapsed in sleep.
And that was only the beginning.
