Lapiz Lazuli, The Blue Gem

Decodia the land of beauty, a place which is loved by everyone but has a side no one knows about at this mesmerizing place it is the household of marquess lazuli who passed away early with his wife leaving his one and only daughter who was cursed to be in an eternal sleep

after the marquess passed away, his daughter never woke up aside for the first one month she was born. It was said that she was cursed by the goddess of light because she would bring disaster to the world (author here anyway this line says that the people don't know about the curse of lapiz because it is kept a secret from outside)

"Everyone ready the water and snacks, we don't know when the lady will wake up"

A man who was in his 50 said to the maids who were rushing through the halls and cleaning the mansion. Everyone was so busy that they didn't even have the time to talk, through this mess came a maid running through the upstairs

"Butler?!"

She shouted, which gained the butlers attention the maid had dark brown hair which was tied up like a bun her eyes were green like emerald she was pulling her big skirt and ran towards the butler

"lily, what are you doing here"

the butler replied by looking at lily, she was breathing really hard and was tired from all the way to downstairs

"huff" "huff"

"butler this is the 22nd year we are preparing like this"

The maid looked at the butler, who was much taller than her. She had a bitter expression which was ready to cry any moment

"are you sure the lady will wake up this time"

she looked down and bite her lips, her eyes were tearing up, the butler patted her head and weakly smiled

"this is the last year we can hope for the lady to wake up, and I believe she will not let our house be destroyed like this"

he reassured the little maid who was tearing up by hugging her lily cheered up fast after hearing that and slapped her face

"Lily?!"

The butler called out her name in surprise

"You're right, the lady won't leave us like this"

she said to herself and laughed slightly, but the butler could figure out that lily was trying her best to believe the lady would wake up he felt guilty for making her believe that but tried not to show on his face

"then I will go now"

Lily turned backwards and rushed to the kitchen while the butler continued his work...

An 10 feet tall door which was gold and white in colour opened, through that walked the small lily holding a plate which had a blue pill and a glass of water she had a sad expression when entering the room which was huge. Lily walked towards the bed which was covered in white transparent veil inside there was a beautiful lady laid down whose face was covered with a light blue veil

"my lady, happy 22nd birthday"

she said with a happy and a sad face there was no response or movement from the inside lily bite her teeth and closed her eyes she laid down the plate in a small table which was next to the bed and walked towards the huge window

the room's one side was fully windows so that sunlight would come through it, but the room was dark cause a big red curtain blocked the sunlight from coming inside. Lily opened the big curtain, all the sunlight outside entered the room which brighten everything in her sight

"ah its bright"

she said by covering her eyes by her hands, lily walk backwards to the bed and took the pill she dissolved it in the water which turned it to blue(hello author here for those who don't know what dissolved means it's basically mixing the pill in the water) she opened the veil and took the glass

the lady inside had long blue hair, she wore a thin white gown which covered her hands with long transparent gold sleeves, she was breathing but didn't open her eyes why was such a beautiful laying on the bed for all these years, a question which was asked by everyone single person which had no answer

"my lady did you know this is your 22nd birthday, although we never saw you talk or smile like we wished to, every day in our minds you were there supporting us even when the lazuli household was in a tough situation, we wished for you to wake up one day and spent time with us, but it never came true"

lily looked at the lady laying down with a bitter smile

"even though I never had the chance to see the marquess and marquesses, I was able to see their daughter who is much older than me"

lily sat down on a chair which was below the small table by pulling it outside and toke a spoon

"I was five when I came to this house, but I never forgot how this house saved me from the hell I was living in from then onwards I swore that I would serve this house forever"

she took some blue water in the spoon and served them to the lady laying in the bed although some of them came out some was also digested

"after two months, I heard the rumor about the lady who was cursed for eternal sleep I was curious considering I was young"

she continued serving the lady who was sleeping for 22 years, the blue water

"I sneaked into this room at night and saw the big bed which was covered with a veil and the large window which was also covered with a red curtain at first I was scared to some inside but since I was holding a lamp I entered the room"

lily looked at the water and continued

"when I came inside I could feel a cold air surrounding the bed, but I still approached the lady in the rumor when I moved the veil I could see you who were 10 years old sleeping without moving an inch you were so beautiful that i didn't want to go back, i touched your hands which was cold as ice, but it felt nice i wanted to serve you so badly i wanted to see your face every day"

lily holded the glass tightly and smiled while closing her eyes

"the next day i went to the butler and asked him to allow me to serve the lady he was surprised to hear such things coming from a small girl, but he didn't reject he told me about the curse and this glass of water which would help you i was happy but the more i came, the more i wanted to see you wake up"

lily continued serving the lady water, which contained a pill

"every year on your birthday we would prepare a bouquet for you, hoping that you would open your eyes, but you didn't we started losing hope but still didn't give up we believed that you would not leave us all and continued serving you endlessly and today will prove if our hope and faith still continues "

lily stood up, she took the glass and plate, but she didn't leave, she stood there hoping to see the lady she served with all of her heart move

'what am i doing'

she thought to herself with a sad look

"i should leave now"

"CRASH"

a loud sound came from the bedroom which could be heard from downstairs

"What was that!!"

The butler shouted and ran towards the master bedroom to know what happened

"LILY, WHAT WAS THAT SOUND"

he said loudly lily was trembling in the floor while stuttering something he approached her and asked what happened

"lily calm down, tell me what happened"

the plate and glass were broken lily's hands were trembling, she kept saying lady tears were also coming through her eyes

"lily calm down and tell me what happened, i am right here"

lily took a deep breath and exhaled, she looked at the butler and started speaking

"w-when i-i was coming b-back after"

'hiccup'

the hiccup cut off her word, but the butler remained calm lily again took a breath and continued

"i g-gave her the water a-and suddenly h-her hands m-m-moved"

the butler eyes widened, he suddenly stood up and went to the lady who moved her hands for the first time

"my lady, don't tell me will actually wake up this time"

he looked back at lily, she stood up with all her might and went near the lady and butler

"i am s-sure i-i saw h-her move"

'hiccup'

she again hiccuped, the butler patted her back

"Argh!!"

A sound came from the bed, both of them looked at the lady and saw her struggling

"MY LADY!!"

They shouted

"MY LADY, CAN YOU HEAR ME"

he kept saying those words loudly

"i-it h-hurts"

the lady touched her stomach hardly as if blood was coming through it, she gritted her teeth and shut her eyes forcefully

'Don't tell me she hasn't cut the string yet!!'

The butler thought to himself, he suddenly grabbed her hands and again started shouting

"MY LADY FOCUS ON YOUR MIND THEN YOU WILL SEE A BLUE STRING WHICH CONNECTS YOU BOTH CUT THEM OR YOU WILL DIE!!"
