(Long ago there was a baby, and sadly her parents left her. They left her in a small row boat. She was going down a stream when some royals came along down a trail that led to the little baby. When the royals saw the baby all alone, the queen told the driver to come to a stop. She then told her assistant to bring the baby ashore. The assistant did as she was told. While their prince looked out the window and the queen said "no dear you stay in the carriage" and he goes back into his seat. She was brought to shore along with a note that said, "This is Azami. If you are reading this, please take care of our baby girl. We have a ship in the harbor for her. When the time comes,please give it to her. Here is my husband's favorite coat and my favorite dress from when we were younger. She will probably grow out of it in time but I would be so grateful if you could fix it as she grows up so she may wear it. There is a letter to be given to Azami, it shall be given when she turns of age to get it. Please take care of our little girl." After reading this the queen was speechless, yet they took her to a couple in which was yearning for a child of their own. The king said
"We shall give your family money to help take care of the child."
The family was filled with such mirth.
"Here is her mother's favorite dress and her father's coat from when they were little. She might want it. You shall give her this letter when she comes of age."
The assistant then comes forward with a box and letter to gives it to the couple. The couple decided to keep her name and named her Azami then grew up to be a kind and generous girl. And over the years the prince dressed as a commoner to, sneak out every week to see her.)
(present day)
(Azami is now 18 years old. The prince is now 25 and he still sneaks off to go see Azami. There is soon to be a masquerade ball for the prince's Birthday and everyone in the kingdom is invited) One day, the prince went to see Azami but she was nowhere to be seen. So, he thought to himself, where might she be?- Someone then taps on his shoulder. He is shocked to see it's Azami. "I always felt like someone was watching me, mystery solved, so, who are you?" She states "Prince...I mean my name is Haru." He claims while trying to regain himself.
"Nice to meet you haru. My name is Azami." She responds.
"yeah I know âŠ" He says confidently. Which confuses Azami. "You do?" She says as she takes a step back from Haru. Haru realized, a little too late, how he must've made himself sound. He had to think of something to redeem himself. "Oh I mean, yeah I heard about you around town, that's how I know you." He muttered. "Oh really?!" Says azami curious and confused.
"*Ahem*Well I got to go. Bye!" Haru says looking for a quick escape, and just on time because he had a meeting with his parents soon.
"Wait! How will I ever see you again?" Azami says, anxiously
"Come to the ball on friday. I'll see you there." said haru.
Azami watched as he faded down the trail, When Haru gets to the castle his mother and father are waiting for him. He tries to sneak up to his room but is caught in the process.
"Haru???" says his mother. "Where do you think your going??"
"I was going into my room to study."Haru says, trying to redeem himself.
"Where were you?! We had the servants looking all over the place for you, and you were nowhere to be found." Haru's father says firmly.
Haru desperately thinks of an excuse.. Suddenly,there is a voice coming from behind him.
"He was in the garden looking at the flowers. He told me not to tell you where he was so he could have some peace and quiet. Which obviously was needed."Haru's aunt said.
Haru goes over and gives his aunt a hug, thankful that he didn't need to come up with yet another excuse. "Ah sister how have you been?" The king replied.
"I've been good. But I must know, why don't you let the boy be for once? It's almost his birthday!" She answer. They all sit down and talk. While Azami runs home. She has lived with her family as long as she could remember. It's a tiny humble home that she loves.When she gets home, she writes a letter to her boss asking for the day off. Although this is a job that was considered fun to her, She really wanted to experience what going to a ball was like. Despite all she goes through with sending it and goes into the living room to ask her parents if she can go. Her parents are surprised but happy. And they both give her permission. Her mom offers her a dress of her own. The mom goes into her room and gets the dress out of the same box Azami was left with by her true parents. As the mom goes back into the living room Azami asks where her mom got the dress. Her mother sighs, knowing this question was to come soon.
"We need to talk. You'll want to sit down for this." Her mother says in a worrisome tone.
Her parents tell her everything that happened except instead of saying the king and queen brought her they said Azami was given to them by commoners. It didn't take long for Azami to be in tears. Holding the dress close to her chest, she said
"Thank You..."
She tried on the dress and was back in tears again when she realised it fit like a glove. It felt like it was made for her.
