6 The Prince's Castle

Chapter Six The Prince's Castle Celeste flew to the castle to give her present to Princess Rosamund. As she arrived, she noticed how quiet it was. She spotted Verity sitting in the middle of the garden sobbing. Celeste put her arm around her friend. Verity could just see Celeste through her tears. "It's… all… my… fault," she sniffed. Celeste handed her a tissue.

第六章 王子的城堡 塞莱斯特飞到城堡，要把她的礼物送给罗莎蒙德公主。 她到的时候，发现城堡里静得奇怪。 她看见维里蒂坐在花园中央，正呜呜地哭。 塞莱斯特伸出胳膊搂住自己的好朋友。 维里蒂泪眼朦胧地抬眼，才看清是塞莱斯特。 “都……是……我……的错。”她抽抽搭搭地说。 塞莱斯特递给她一张纸巾。

"I'm so silly!" Verity held her head in hands. "All I had to do was stop the princess going near a spinning wheel. I've let the King and Queen down and now Tatiana won't give me any important jobs and I'll never get a lilac sparkly star!" "Verity, it's OK, because your gift is the

“我太笨了！” 维里蒂双手抱住头。 “我本来只要看好公主，别让她靠近纺车就行。 我辜负了国王和王后的期望，现在塔蒂亚娜肯定不会再给我安排重要的任务了，我永远都拿不到淡紫色闪光星星了！” “维里蒂，没关系的，因为你的礼物就是

way to break Nissa's curse," Celeste reminded Verity. "You can do this. Everyone is counting on you." Verity wiped the tears away from her eyes. "You're right, Celeste. I can do this! There's just one tiny problem." "What's that?" asked Celeste. "I need to find a prince who will lick Princess Rosamund's face!" They both sighed. "That's not going to be easy," Celeste frowned. "Think, think, think. Where can we find a prince?" Verity said to herself. Celeste grinned. "Prince Charming is holding one of his talks on ‘how to be charming" at his palace. They're popular

破解尼莎诅咒的办法呀。”塞莱斯特提醒维里蒂。 “你能做到的。 大家都指望着你呢。” 维里蒂擦掉了眼睛上的泪水。 “你说得对，塞莱斯特。 我可以的！ 就是还有个小问题。” “什么问题呀？”塞莱斯特问。 “我得找个王子，要他肯亲罗莎蒙德公主的脸才行！” 两个人都叹了口气。 “这可不容易呀。”塞莱斯特皱起了眉。 “想想，快想想。 我们能去哪里找王子呢？” 维里蒂自言自语道。 塞莱斯特眼睛一亮，笑了起来。 “白马王子正在他的宫殿里办讲座呢，主题是‘如何变得有魅力’。 这些讲座特别受欢迎

events and I'm sure we can find other princes there!" Verity gasped. "I've always wanted to go to Prince Charming's palace." Verity tried to smooth down her pink hair. "Come on, what are we waiting for?" Celeste chuckled. "I'd forgotten how much you like Prince Charming!"

活动，我肯定咱们在那儿能找到别的王子！” 维里蒂惊讶地倒抽了一口气。 我一直都想去白马王子的宫殿看看呢。” 维里蒂试着捋顺自己粉粉的头发。 “走吧，我们还等什么呢？” 塞莱斯特笑出了声。 “我都忘了你有多喜欢白马王子啦！”

The two fairies gently tucked the little princess, who was fast asleep, into her grand four-poster bed and set off for Prince Charming's castle. When they arrived, they were amazed at how big it was. There were turrets on top of towered turrets and more windows than Verity could count. Sky-blue rooftops were edged with gold tiles and the light-pink stone of the castle made Verity's heart skip. She had never seen a building so beautiful. "Wow! If this were a marshmallow cake I would eat it all up in one go!" sighed Verity happily. "Let's knock on the door," said Celeste. She took Verity by the hand as they approached the huge wooden doors.

两个小仙女轻轻把睡得正香的小公主放进她那张大四柱床上，然后就出发往白马王子的城堡去了。 她们到地方的时候，都被城堡的大小惊住了。 塔楼上面还有小塔楼，塔楼上都有尖顶，窗户多得维里蒂数都数不过来。 天蓝色的屋顶边缘镶着金色的瓦片，城堡用浅粉色的石头砌成，看得维里蒂心跳都漏了一拍。 她从来没见过这么漂亮的建筑。 “哇！ 要是这是个棉花糖蛋糕，我一口就能把整个都吃掉！” 维里蒂开心地感叹道。 “我们去敲门吧。”塞莱斯特说。 她拉着维里蒂的手，朝着那两扇巨大的木门走过去。
