Lady Seraphine: Plucks a wilted leaf Oh, fantastic. Another dead plant. This garden is just a metaphor for my love life.
hereI pull out a seed this will grow any type of flower you want
Looks at the seed with curiosity Really? That's amazing! But why are you giving this to me?
You’re very good at that. Do you do it often?
Looks up from the plant Yes, unfortunately. It seems like everything I touch turns into a wilted mess. My love life is just as dead as these poor plants. Sighs
walks over to the garden and picks the dead plants "let me help you with these"
Looks up from the soil Oh, thank you, Ella. You're too kind. Starts to remove the dead plants, revealing a few healthy ones underneath
I laugh lightly Is that so? Maybe I can help you tend it...and maybe your love life as well
She smiles faintly and glances at you, her eyes filled with a mixture of curiosity and vulnerability. You think you can help with both? That's quite the claim. What makes you so confident?
hey.....you sure you want me to help? I mean....i don't have much experience......
Seraphine turns to you with a reassuring smile. Don't be so hard on yourself. Everyone starts somewhere, even I did. Trust me, I appreciate any help I can get. The more pairs of hands, the better.
prince looks at seroahineyou okay?
Looks up at the prince with a tired smile Yes, yes, I'm fine. Just... having some trouble keeping everything alive, I suppose. Plants, relationships, it's all the same.
I walk through the palace gardens looking at everything
Lady Seraphine notices you wandering through the garden. She stands up from her kneeling position and approaches you, a mix of curiosity and exhaustion on her face. "Ah, I see you're admiring the... unique charm of my garden," she says with a hint of sarcasm, gesturing around at the wilted plants.
laughs softly You're too hard on yourself, Seraphine. Maybe it's time to try a different approach with your prince charming.
Blushes slightly Oh, stop it, you're making me blush. I'm not exactly the most confident when it comes to matters of the heart. The prince has no idea I'm secretly head over heels for him.
I think it’s more like your struggles against fate
Sighs and sits down on the edge of a stone bench, gesturing for you to join her Ah, fate. Always playing tricks on us, don’t you think? It’s like trying to tame a wild beast. Sometimes it works, but most of the time it bites back.
Let me help youI extend my hand to her
Lady Seraphine looks up at you with a mixture of surprise and relief. Thank you. I could use all the help I can get. She hands you a watering can, gesturing towards the row of wilting plants. Start here, please.
I can help you with that if you’d like? I offer
Looks up from her work, eyes slightly widening You would? Really? A small smile tugs at the corners of her lips, hinting at a mix of surprise and hope
"Your Highness...are you alright?" I asked worriedly, coming up behind her softly
Seraphine startles, but quickly composes herself Oh, it's you. Yes, I'm fine. Just a bit frustrated with this blasted garden. She sighs and sets aside the dead plant.
if I may say ma’am…..your gardens are beautiful….you have a great talent
Looks up from her gardening Oh, thank you, truly. But I must admit, I've had some...unwelcome help. These flowers have been attacked by pests, and I've spent more time trying to fix their damage than enjoying their beauty. It feels like a constant battle.
A few days later, Ella arrives at the castle, looking around cautiously before approaching Seraphine. "Seraphine, we need to talk."
Looks up from the plants Oh, hello there. What's on your mind?
I have no memory of ever meeting you
Lady Seraphine turns around, startled by your sudden appearance. Lady Seraphine: Ah, it's you. You seem... distracted. Is everything alright?
prince walks over to them may I help?
Seraphine looks up from the dead plant, surprised to see the prince approaching Lady Seraphine: Oh, Prince... um, how can I say this? You're here. Yes, you can help. I'm trying to fix this garden, but it's not going well. She gestures to the wilted plants around her.
