Królestwo Skandynawii, położone tuż za Nowymi Górami, tonęło w mrozie i śniegu.
Przez cały rok panowała tam sroga zima, a mieszkańcy żyli w domach oraz zamkach z lodu, skoncentrowanych tuż przy pałacu królowej Petunii I.
Głównym zajęciem Skandynawów było przyjmowanie gości z dalekich krajów, którym zwykle nie mieściło się w głowie życie w lodowym państwie. Królestwo Skandynawii było jednak okazałe i piękne, szczególnie, gdy pewnej zimowej listopadowej nocy zaczęły kwitnąć w nim kwiaty.
Zdarzyło się to na początku XXII wieku. Mieszkańcy byli bardzo zdziwieni, gdy następnego ranka, po otwarciu oczu, ich źrenice nie zobaczyły jedynie nieskończonej bieli. Wszędzie rozkwitały kwiaty, najczęściej czerwone róże, które wyglądały niczym plamy krwi na nieskazitelnej połaci śniegu. Ówczesna królowa Margit, nie mogła wyjść z zachwytu i oczami wyobraźni widziała tłumy ludzi przybywających z daleka, by podziwiać jej królestwo.
Wizja Margit nie odbiegała zupełnie od prawdy, ale królowa nie przewidziała, że oto narodziła się godna niej następczyni, którą poddani pokochają miłością bezwarunkową, o Margit zaś zapomną.
Póki jednak prawda o nowej królowej nie wyszła na jaw, wszyscy głowili się nad wyjaśnieniem fenomenu kwiatów w krainie wiecznych śniegów. Naukowcy, pisarze, czarownicy, zwykli ludzie oraz sama Margit nie mogli logicznie i przekonująco wyjaśnić tego zjawiska. Wszyscy natomiast modlili się w duchu, by trwało ono jak najdłużej.

Scandinavia Kingdom located behind New Mountains was frosty and covered by snow. There was a heavy winter throughout the whole year so inhabitants were living in houses or castles made of ice. All the buildings were concentrated around the palace of queen Petunia I.
Main activity of Scandinavian people was receiving visitors from distant countries who couldn't imagine to live in the Kingdom like this. Apart of their opinions Scandinavia Kingdom was impressive and beautiful, especially since some November night all flowers started blooming.
It happened at the beginning of XXII century. Inhabitants were very surprised when they opened their eyes and saw something more than neverending whiteness of snow. Flowers were blooming everywhere, mostly red roses which looked like stains of blood on the perfect skin of snow. Then on the throne reigned the other queen whose name was Margit. Margit was so happy and excited about spring in her kingdom that she couldn't wait for the new visitors. She imagined their full of amiration faces and smiled. The vision of queen wasn't far away from the truth but she didn't predict one thing: in few months the child was coming to this world. A girl who was Margit's worthy successor. People were going to love absolutely the new queen and forget about the old one.
Until then all the scientists, writers, magicians, ordinary people and Margit herself couldn't logically and convincingly explain this phenomenon. All of them though were praying in their hearts for it to stay forever.
