      Sonic's backyard garden was indeed very beautiful. There were many flowers and trees. Even their own apple, pear and lemon trees grew, from where some soldiers picked the ripest fruits, after which they put them in baskets and delivered them through the same back entrance to the kitchen to the chef. What attracted Amy most was the small part of the lawn that Silver himself tended to, growing his own flowers there. It was here that he grew the very rose that he gave her yesterday. In addition to her, he grew daisies and other types of roses here from blue to red. Looking at his wristwatch and realizing that it’s time to water the plants, Silver takes a watering can, fills it with water from under the fountain and waters each of his own flowers. And later the rest of the plants. Most of all, he loved to take care of his plants, which he grew himself. Amy sat nearby on a bench, watched and admired how this hedgehog worked in his garden and how he liked this work. One harmful bug once sat on one of these roses, when suddenly the white hedgehog managed to pick up two fly swatters and slammed them with them so that it would not land on any of its flowers and infect it with anything. He picked up the corpse of the insect itself and threw it into a stone trash can. Finally, the hedgehog took a sprayer and began spraying the plants with small streams of water. When Rose stood up and walked over to Silver, she hugged him from the side, lightly patting him on his right shoulder, which he didn't expect. Overall, he liked the hug and continued to take care of his flowers, hugging Amy, of course. — I love these flowers and always take care of them. Even if they live the shortest lifespan and immediately wither. When I remove my plants and plant them in pots or intend to give them to someone, I do not cut them out, but try to carefully dig them up with the roots intact so that they do not wilt when transplanted or dug up. In the same way, I carefully dug up that rose with roots to give it to you and so that it would live longer. Unfortunately, these types of flowers and roses, unless of course they are intact and with roots, and also take root in the ground, can only live for almost a year. Well, or maximum two. Considering that once every six months it gets colder and winter comes. Of course, plants can somehow be warmed and protected from the cold in a warm place so that they can live even longer, but unfortunately they cannot live longer than a year or two. Every spring you have to buy new seeds for plants and plant them again in order to grow them like that. — While Silver was explaining all this, Amy looked at her gifted rose from Silver and became sad. She felt sorry for that flower, because he would not live longer. Silver, of course, noticed her sad look at the rose and decided to reassure her: — I know, it’s a shame, of course, that the plants will die sooner or later so quickly. The life cycle of plants is completely different and complex than that of us humans. But as a couple, the fact that we love nature and care about it, or about a small part of it, means that you take care of nature and nature itself will someday protect you if the time comes or is needed. Life is a very complicated thing and we are all very complicated. Amy smiles and looks into Silver's eyes. A blush appears on his cheeks and he also smiles a little stupidly. The white hedgehog understands that now is probably the right time to confess his love to her and still decides to confess: — Amy, I... — before he could finish, the hedgehog covered his mouth with her right index finger and shushed him very slowly, but quietly. Of course, the hedgehog understood perfectly well what he now wanted to tell her and in order to prove to him without words that she herself guessed what he wanted to say, she kisses him on the lips. At first, Silver's eyes widen in surprise, but then he closes his eyes and accepts the kiss of the one he loves. There was no need to confess her love to him, since she herself had already guessed by some miracle that he loved her. After the kiss they just started sitting and hugging. The crab watching them, hidden in the plants, saw and heard all this. He was a little disgusted to look at what he saw. Then he looked somewhere to the side and conceived some kind of meanness. After that, he crawled out of the garden and headed to the river, which slowly took him into the open ocean. Once in the open sea, he sank very deep to the bottom. Walking on the wet sand at the bottom of the ocean for about a couple of hours, he crawls to the crystal palace, where King Tiraton himself was waiting for him on the throne. — A! Welcome back, Lomar! Where have you been all this time? — he asked, placing the crab on his right palm and bringing it closer to his face. — King Tyraton, your daughter, whom you imprisoned in the tower three days ago, escaped from there on the same day. — Lomar explained. — WHAT??? — the king was indignant, and stood up from the throne out of anger. Krabik continued to gossip: — From the very beginning, when she ran away, I began to follow her. She wasn't alone. She was helped to escape by some witch who had tentacles instead of a fish tail. She gave her some kind of potion that turned her into a human, giving her legs and she began to live on land. — That's it, she bastard! Not only did she once again disobey me and escape from punishment, but now she has also decided to live among people on land? Has she forgotten her hometown? — the king was even more indignant. — That's not all, your powersty! — Lomar continued. — I watched her all these three days and found out how she was doing on land. She found many friends, and that same witch also joined her and helped her live among people. — What did this witch look like? — asked the black-scarlet king. — She’s half bat and half octopus. Although she doesn’t have wings on her back, so I would rather call her half mouse, half octopus. Or an animal completely unknown to some science. — explained the crab. — Rouge! — the king guessed who he was talking about, narrowing his eyes. — This stupid woman who loves other women was a disgrace to our sea people. I remember how I expelled her from our kingdom because she was not like the rest of us. She only thinks about herself and that she herself has the right to live as she herself wants, although in reality she has no rights to this. — having finished saying this to himself, he turned to the crab. — Lomar, have you found out anything else about how Amy is doing there? — Yes, king. — Lomar bent his muzzle, pretending to bow. — The potion the witch gave her had a side effect. She became human, but at the same time lost her voice and now cannot speak. Because of this, she now has some kind of magic hat that reads her thoughts and translates them into her ears, so that she can communicate like that. And they also began to live together in the castle of that pathetic freak prince. Do you understand who I mean? — Yeah, about that same blue hedgehog. Further! — She’s also in love with some white hedgehog courtier in that castle, and he loves her. They hugged and even kissed together. — Ugh! Disgusting! — Tyraton stuck out his tongue in disgust, just listening to this and being afraid to imagine such a thing in his head. — And the last thing. I found out there is another side effect. If the one who loves her and the one whom she loves loves and marries another, or she herself loves another and marries another, then the connection with the one who loves her deeply will be severed, her heart will be torn to pieces and she will be at the dawn of the next will die within a day. That's all I managed to find out. — Is it true? — the king made sure and the crab nodded, after which he jumped from his palm to the floor. The king sat down on the throne and spoke to himself: — This ungrateful she-hedgehog doesn’t even deserve to be called my daughter!” I loved her, cared for her and raised her, and she treats me like this. How could she do this to me? — he lied to himself about Amy and his rancor took over his reason. — I’ll show her how to leave her home and family! At that moment, the eldest hedgehog mermaid, black with pink stripes, swam into the throne room. — Dad! — Oh, beauty! Hello. Are you talking or on business? — asked Tyraton. — On business! I want to help you. — the daughter answers. — Help? With what? — We must take revenge on Amy for leaving us and going to people. Let’s satisfy your anger and then we can calmly forget about it once and for all. Tyraton's rancor immediately took over his mind. He smiled evilly and said: — Ye-e-es. You're right, Biara! But how do we teach this naughty little rotten roach a lesson? — Tyraton scratched his chin. — Lomar said that she could die at the next dawn if suddenly that white hedgehog who loves her, and she loves him, marries someone else. I propose to take revenge on her by simply making her suffer for escaping from the tower and becoming human. Let's kidnap that white hedgehog, force him to marry one of us, and Amy will suffer and then die. After that, we will kill him himself, because we will no longer need him. — Biara suggested. — What nonsense? — the father thought out loud. — It's not bullshit, daddy. This is a plan to get back at her. You want to teach her a lesson so that she suffers and realizes what she has done, but in the future, even if she still realizes her mistakes, it will be too late and she will die for abandoning us and not listening to us. In principle, we all didn’t care about her anyway and we didn’t need her. Why do you need this fool, daddy, when you only have all of us, the only ones who really love and obey you? — Biara asks, smiling, slightly rolling towards her daddy. He smiles and trembles her right cheek. — What an insidious and cruel daughter you are. This is why I love you more than all my daughters and sons. — he answers her and sits her in the middle of his tail, like a child on his lap. — Just... Who do we marry this white hedgehog among us to? — Well... In principle, I can marry him... Temporarily, and then I will kill him myself, after Amy dies at dawn. — suggests Biara. Tyraton looking at the ceiling thinks this is a good idea and he asks: — Are you sure you want this, Biara? — Yes. For your sake, daddy, I am ready to take such a risk. Of course, people disgust me myself, but for your sake I’m ready to temporarily marry him... And then I’ll kill him myself. — she answered, smiling maliciously, for which the King-Father patted her on the head. — How smart you are! I promise you, Biara. After you pretend to marry that freak from the land and kill him yourself, whenever you want, sooner or later, then I will immediately crown you and you will become the new queen of our underwater kingdom after me. — Really? — Biara was happy. — Of couse. I will even give you my trident and it will be yours by inheritance. — Tyraton answers. Biara was happy, imagining how she would sit on the throne and rule the entire underwater kingdom, and all the mermaids, merman and fish would be on her errands. And anyone who disobeys her, she will incinerate him with a deadly laser from a trident. — What about you? — What about me? — the black and scarlet hedgehog asked the merman, smiling. — I’ll probably retire, I’ll continue to sit at home often, I won’t do anything, I’ll be idle, and in the future I’ll devote more time to all of you, my beloved sons and daughters. — Seriously? I always dreamed that you would often devote time to us and even play with us. But when I become a queen, then I will be busy and I will no longer have time even for you, since I will have to rule our kingdom and monitor its order. — But why? — her father reassured her. — We can make a compromise. For example, you can rule from Monday to Friday, and on weekends you will visit us while the swordfish boyars rule for you, so that everything goes according to your future orders. — Thank you, daddy. — Biara answers and hugs Tyraton. He also hugs his daughter back. — My king, Miss Biara, should I report on what I personally told you and what you discussed here with the other daughters and sons? — Lomar asked, raising his right claw. — Yes, Lomar. Better yet, inform our entire underwater kingdom about this. Let everyone even know about our insidious plan for revenge and be ready themselves. Unless, of course, they want to join us in taking revenge on this petty traitor. — I obey, your wetness! — the crab salutes with its left claw and crawls away. Tiraton and Biara remain together in the throne room for now and begin to laugh villainously: — M-m-muhahahaha... Muhahahahahahahaha... UHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
