The girls joined the ladies-in-court (ladies-in-waiting), who were talking about the current fashion. Liza said that gossiping was not a new kind of thing, because the ladies were very critical of the people walking in front of them; let it be a man or a woman. In a few minutes they became quite aware of the fashion of the time. Suddenly Queen Gizella appeared in the middle of the bustle. She was in a very good mood, she was making jokes with the servants and from just one strange thought she was asking the group of Dia to choose a dress for her and her husband from the very big clothing opportunities.

The legs were making the same rhythm as the music itself. “I have to try.” – thought Ádám and in a minute he was dancing with the others in the corner of the room, although in the beginning he was rather clumsy copying the men.

The everyday people sent their representatives to go in front of the queen and they were bowing when they gave their presents.

The court of the palace was already full of riders and soldiers in full dress and behind them all the hunters and falconers of the court were lined up. In a long while the show started to begin. One of the falconers took the leather cap off the head of his bird and from his hand he let the bird fly to catch a pigeon. The falcon took a very quick round in the air and then caught the dove. “What a pity!”- thought Liza. Gizella, who was sitting close to her, was very pleased to hear in secret that somebody is as sensitive as her. “Just because we felt the same way for the dove accept the miniature version of my throne as a souvenir.” Liza was very pleased to show her friends what she got.

After the presentation the festivity continued with an enormous dinner. The tables were covered with lots of excellent food and drinks. The court musicians were playing music. Suddenly the master of ceremony requested silence and announced the gift of the musicians: they wrote a song for honour of Gizella. This very pleasant song was so much melodious that the children decided they would learn it too. Liza and Dia were writing notes diligently during the time of the festivity. They decided if they get home they will tell everything in town about the celebration Gizella’s own age, because it can be useful for the organizers of the Gizella Days festivity in Veszprém.

Gizella also wanted to make this day memorable that she gave a copy of the crown to the three kids. The minute when they received the crown they could not resist the temptation and tried it on.

 

At this time they had an image in front of them: and this was the shaman in his unclear image suddenly moving around and then disappearing with a soft murmur. Suddenly everything disappeared in front of them and they fell asleep. By the time they woke up they were again in front of their computer. At this time the screen was just shifting to 2007. The three kids were very shocked and looking at one another, because they did not understand what was happening. Suddenly they realized that their travel in time ended. Or did they just dream the whole thing? They were about to believe when they realized all the gifts which they had. Well, it was all true. They were the first who became time travellers.

 

The city declared Dia, Liza and Ádám as a freeman and the whole world was celebrating them as the first time travellers. The professor was very happy and satisfied since it was proven that his invention was working and he invited the kids to show his machine and they were sitting in the first row.

There’s an article which was published in the local press about an English professor who was successful in trying time travels. According to his latest research there are two or three points from where one can start this travel, but for now he will not tell where these locations are. He will arrive in Veszprém very shortly. This article was written by three kids and one can find this article on the second page of the local newspaper.
