Winter Kingdom

Cassian.

Smiling at the scene of her being afraid to touch a flower. 

- Say another one? 

She looked to examine my expression, my whole body trembled with the intensity of her gaze.

- Hmmm. - I grinned, catching her attention. 

- These colorful ones. - he said, looking away from me.

- She's from the Bellarmine Kingdom: Which is

known for having the most romantic men on the continent, they are possessive of their women, there is no betrayal there, and those who betray their companions are exiled from the kingdom, never to return. So much so that the flower that is born there is called Korah, where it was born on the highest cliff in the kingdom, many try to climb it, but end up falling from up there. 

- And how did you manage it, paying a future to those who brought the flower, after three months a carriage full of them arrived in front of the palace, my mother was fascinated. Lucky that they survive in a greenhouse. 

- Will they die a lot?

- Yes, but their families were rewarded with a sufficient amount of coins to stay alive. Choose another. - I spoke when I saw her eyes get sad. 

- Let me see, this one. - he said, pointing his finger without touching it. 

- Are you afraid to touch the flowers? - I asked, with a swimming smile. 

- I confess, I am a little. - I said, embarrassed to admit it. 

- Some flowers are deadly, and the most dangerous are the beautiful ones. 

- Not always the beautiful things are the least harmless. 

- Quite right. - I said in agreement, because it was the absolute truth. 

- Tell me which kingdom this one comes from.

- Oh, yes, of course. This is from the Belfast Kingdom: known for the arrogance of men and brutal force. And there is no marriage there, everyone is free to be with whomever they want, couples can even live together and build a family, but neither of them will be judged or condemned by society if they are with someone other than their partner and without priority. In the hottest area, where little vegetation survives, grows a tree that gives fruit and flowers, whose name is Pleasure, from the flower is made a perfume. With the smell that drives men crazy due to the substance that increases the level of desire, the fruit the most dangerous, if you eat it the body erupts with desire, heating the whole body.

When I finished speaking, Bella was looking at the flower, with a different expression than she used to look. It was a look of... lust!

- And lastly that one.

- Of course! This one is from the Pearl Kingdom: Known for having more women than men, in the army, practically composed of women, men were only requested when their enemies were bones in the fall. They are skilled in strategy for war and a sword chi in the fight, they enter the enemy realm and slowly poison the soldiers. 

- Isn't this too risky? 

- Yes, but this is the path they have chosen. 

- Unfortunate! But go on. 

- They wait for their enemies to grow weak, some have died and others grow weak to fight. In this kingdom there is a garden, which grows one every month. In the garden they found the flower Péro, a red flower with a weak blue stem, but the flower is poisonous. There is no king there but queens, when a queen marries her husband does not become king, and if in the marriage union has children man and woman are the women who becomes king, even if she is the last to be born. 

- I couldn't imagine that there were several kingdoms with such different characteristics, and not even in my wildest dreams could I suspect that there was a kingdom ruled by women. Which of these kingdoms is the furthest away?

- The Pearl kingdom, to enter, requires a lot of bureaucracy, especially if you are a nobleman. 

- I wonder why. 

They suffer from several mercenary attacks aimed at overthrowing the power, many find it irrelevant a prosperous kingdom in the hand of a woman. - I said, only realizing now that these women are really warriors, always waiting to be attacked.

- Machismo has no borders, on all continents we will come face to face with injustice," she said looking at nothing, lost in her thoughts, by her speech it was as if she had already been the target of machismo. 

- Injustice has been there since the beginning of the world. You can't change something if nobody changes it first. As a philosopher says "It is not the time that decides how the world should be, it is the people who decide how they want to live.

- I didn't know you liked philosophy. - I said again with a twinkle in my eye, I wonder if it was because of the simple sentence I said.

- Philosophy relates the society in which we live, without being afraid to go into focus by showing your feelings. For you can't hang a book they have no head.

- A very good observation. - he said, shaking his head in amusement. 

It was impressive the way she changed her mood, it was so to say somewhat... funny and comforting to have a dialogue with her.

- It must be late. -- he said, changing the subject drastically. 

- Yes, it sure is. -

- It's time to go. - I stood up and walked to the exit without saying a word. 

I stayed the same way I was before, without moving a muscle. Something stirred in my heart, a bitter feeling, but what was it?

- Cassian, the door isn't opening.

I turned my face to see her with both hands on the doorknob, turning it endlessly. I stood up and walked over to her. 

- The door is closed.

- Then open it! - she said, putting her hands on her waist and looking at me.

I couldn't hold it back, so I let a giggle escape my lips. Which was a mistake. 

- Are you smiling at me? -she asked indignantly, undoing her posture. 

- Well, of course not, for what reason would I be smiling at you? -I said amid laughter, at his bearded face.

- How dare you smile at me, I am not part of the clown court of any kingdom. - he said, his face already changed color and became reddish. 

Because he was white it was easy to see his mood changing quickly, his cheeks had already taken on a reddish color.

- It's hard not to smile at his authoritative posture. - I said, shaking my head. 

- Where's the key, I want to go. - she said nervously, I could tell by the frequent tapping of her feet on the floor.

- As you wish. - he said, turning serious again.
