Things were getting complicated with the audience with the tree spirits in the throne room, and we decided to take a short break. It was a huge decision to make, and we could not just grant their request without thinking about the possible consequences.
While the three tree ladies were being treated as valuable guests in one of our VIP rooms, my family gathered up in a private room. When I said, family, it included Mom, Big Sis, as well as Iris and Sophia. Gabrielle was busy with her pregnancy, so she was not here.
"Did you just say that there are tree spirits here in the palace as we speak? As in those enchanted forest-dwelling beings in the stories?"
"That's true, Sis. They approached us just earlier and requested an audience with the queen."
As expected, they were surprised upon learning that tree spirits did actually exist, let alone knowing that there were three of them in the palace right now.
