83: Turning the tables - part 1
"Would you like to have more tea? Perhaps biscuits if you feel like it? Please don't be shy since we are going to get married soon" the fairy, a kid really, spoke. The creature had an elaborate setup in front of him which made the situation look right out of a fairytale her caretaker used to read Maria.
But the only difference between the fantasy and reality was the pair of cuffs that had been snapped on Maria's wrists and they had rendered her magic useless.
"No, thank you. I think I am full already" Maria replied in a polite tone. She ignored the raised eyebrow from the creature in front of her as it pointed to her full plate that had been left untouched.
Maria had been trying all this time to open her cuffs by trying to cut them with the help of the sharp chair's edge. The fairy must have noticed that as well since the noise was quite loud but it also gave Maria the benefit of doubt.
