The Impatient Queen
Once upon a time, there was King Trevor and Queen Helia. The King was loved, but the Queen was disliked because she was very impatient. She would get angry at servants for taking too long and ministers for speaking too slowly. The King wondered how to make her more patient because she had become meaner after becoming Queen.
Finding Leanne
One day, King Trevor found a baby in the stream with a note that said "My baby, take care of her." The King and Queen named her Leanne and raised her in the palace. Leanne grew up to be a warm and loving young woman. There was a special crown in the palace that was said to glow and give magical powers to someone worthy, but it hadn't glowed in years, which made the Queen angry.
The Forbidden Tower
Leanne explored the palace and found a forbidden tower. Inside, she saw the crown, which suddenly started to glow. She told her parents about it. The King was happy, but the Queen was angry. That night, the Queen went to see a witch she knew.
The Witch's Ring
The witch knew about the crown glowing and gave the Queen a ring to put on the King's finger. The ring would make him hate Leanne and ruin everything. The Queen put the ring on the King's finger. The magic started working, and the King became irritated by Leanne. He found fault with everything she did, even though it tasted sweet to others.
The Effects of the Ring
The magic in the ring made the King hate Leanne more and more. Leanne felt ignored by the Queen and hated by the King, so she stayed out of their way. One day, she visited the room with the crown and wondered why her parents were acting so strange.
The Crown Speaks
The crown started to speak to Leanne and told her about the magic ring and the witch. The crown said that the witch wanted to rule the kingdom through the crown's powers but needed to control Helia first. To break the spell, the Queen had to learn to be patient.
The Lilies
Leanne had an idea. She knew her mother loved lilies. The crown told Leanne to grow lilies, and being patient with them would break the spell. Leanne used the crown's magic to create a garden of pink lilies. The Queen saw the garden and loved it, ordering her gardeners to take care of them.
The Queen's Garden
The gardeners didn't care for the lilies properly, so the Queen became angry and decided to take care of them herself. The witch tried to make Helia hate the lilies, but her love was too strong. Being patient with the flowers made her patient with others too. People noticed the change in Helia and started to like her.
Breaking the Spell
One day, Leanne joined her mother in the garden. The Queen said she could wait for the lilies to bloom in their own time. Suddenly, the Queen fainted. The magic crown said the spell had been broken, and she would be fine. The next day, the Queen removed the ring from the King's finger, breaking the spell.
The Kingdom Restored
The King remembered what had happened and felt bad for how he treated Leanne. Leanne placed the crown on the Queen's head, and it glowed. The King said Leanne should have the crown because her patience had saved them all. The kingdom was joyful again. The Queen became known for her patience, and the King banished the witch. Leanne taught everyone that patience is a great value.
