"Mom..? Can I go out and play?" the little princess asked the queen who's sitting on the chair looked frightened.
"No!" she shouted.
The princess startled and went straight to her bed a cover herself in a blanket.
"Oh, honney.. I'm so so sorry... I'm just afraid that if you went outside people will find out that you were special and take interest in you and you away from us! You know baby...the outside world is a very dangerous place! and I can't let something bad happened to you...that is why, I can't let you go out there...if you want to play you have lots of toys here and you get to play here and as well safe here... Baby...we love you very much! and I don't want you to get hurt so please don't go outside..." The queen explained as she walks towards the princess to comfort her.
"Do you understand?" she added. Then the little princess nodded.
"Yes. Your Highness." she blandly replied.
The queen felt the chill from what thr princess said she stopped patting the girl's head and stood up right away.
"Remember... We love you very much!" The queen said as she turn around and went out of her room and locked the door from the outside.
"If they love me...why do they need to lock me up here?" the princess wondered.
"I'm special, yet I don't feel like one. and I don't want to be special... I'm...I'm scared being locked up here." the princess cried as she gripped her pillow tighly then she heard a noise from her window. She checked out from the window and saw a little boy up on the tree labeled from the window of her room the boy saw her and told her to open up the window through sign language, then the princess opened the window.
"Hi! Pardon for my situation right now but I'm the 3rd Prince stanley of Zekentzil. what's yours?" the boy asked.
"Oh, hi! I'm Merioneth." she replied.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, my princess!" the boy said as he kisses the hand of the princess.
The princess got surprised and pushed him away and made him almost fall thankfully the princess hold his cloth right away and made him balance himself. both got surprised for what happened.
"I'm trully sorry for what I did I was just surprise no one have done something like that to me!"
The princess explained.
"It's alright! afterall...you saved my life! If I may... I know it's too early for me to ask you this but... Will you be my-" the boy said but he suddenly being stop by the princess for someone is comming in to her and so she shoo the prince away for she know that if someone finds out that she talked to someone else she will be placed to somewhere higher and darker and it'll be much more lonelier for her.
The princess closses the window as well as the curtain and went off to bed and hide herself in the blanket.
"Honney! Your meal is here. come and have a bite.. "Vandolf Zeckantricx said sweetly.
Name: Vandolf Zeckantricx
Position: King of the main palace of Zeckantricx
Wife: Queen Aurora filleman daughter of the most well known Marquess in the Main.
Daughter: Mignonette Ellise Zeckantricx and Merioneth Ellaine Zecantricx they are twins and look alike but Mignonette don't have any powers or ability to create a portal unlike her twin sister. Their manners are too different from each other as well.
Mignonette is a fit-in brat. She's like a perfectionist but can't even make the things right but instead she pays for a worker to make the perfect thing she wants. However Merioneth is her total opposite, she's most earnest, brave and an honest person. She is more like her grandfather that is why her Grandfather sees her as a bright star.
"No thanks! I'm not hungry. please take that away." the princess replied while still hiding in the blanket.
"Baby...please don't get upset. It's for your own good! It's also hard for us to lock you up here but, honney we don't know how the minds of other people works! If they knew that you are special and one of a kind they'll surely take an advantage or interest on you and probably kidnaped you!" the king explained as he put the food on the table beside her bed and sat down and patted her head.
"Is it because I can make a portal to the other world?" the princess asked innocently as she sat down properly on her bed.
"The other world!?" the king asked in surprise and made him think for a moment.
"Honney have you been there? he added.
"No. but I can feel another life forms the moment I make a portal. it's like someone out there is calling me..." she explained.
"Honney... No matter what happened don't you ever ever enter that portal! do you understand?!" the king said.
"Why not?" she asked.
"That world is too dangerous! that might cause us a lot of problem if you went in there." the king replied.
"Have you been there?" she again asked.
"No!" the king said defensively and stood up right away from her bed.
"Eat your food. and oh, I'm going somewhere. do have any request on me to bring you?" he asked sweetly.
"Is this some kind of beauty and the best? then he'll get caught by some beast and then make his daughter as an exchange and then what?! that princess is lucky co'z she's already old enough to be his bride but what about me if that happened?! perhaps I'll ended up like the little girl from the Little Red RidingHood! huh!" she panicked within her mind and give a deep sigh and rolled her eyes and said.
"Nah! I'm good. I don't want to be a collateral."
Her father chuckled a bit and went off to her room but before that he kissed her forehead and patted her head and said.
"I'll be off then."
After her father went out she hurriedly open the curtain and checked if the boy is still there but she got disappointed whe she found out that he's gone already. The princess saddened and went back to her bed and thought about what that boy's about to say earlier.
She took the book her Granfather gave her before he died and read them. It was about how to rule the kingdom wisely but that's not all, it also included some important details like how to conquer territories. It was indeed for adults book and when her Grandfather gave her that book her father got rediculed for how is the 5year old kid appreciate his gift and that book supposedly he'll inherit for it was their family's treasure from generation-to generation but his father didn't thought of him as his successor but instead.. his grandaughter, he believed that she'll rule the kingdom wisely.
Whenever the princess misses her grandfather she reads the book over and over again.
Her Grandfather died in ambush in the forest while on the going back to the his kingdom after they claimed another territory. After that everything changes...crime rates went up and the lower class people suffers from povertyness. A lot of people became slaves and their town is way too quite for they can't afford to do any more festivals like they used to. As well her... they began to locked her up from her room when they found out that she discovers her power already at an early age. They got frightened and locked her up like a prison and only grant the things she wants and none other than that.
The princess always begged to free her even just for a day but they only ignored her and just gave her fancy things.
The princess give up on asking them for there's no one even listening to her. Until oneday, His father's brother the 3rd Prince, Crancerion who is ruling the Eastern that their late father last territory been claimed. Crancerion i makes everyone gets frightened of him for he is a one top hell man! He holds every army of the royals especially in the main. He is the one who trains and make the soldiers more prepared for every battle. He already claims a territory in the western and made it as their training center. Crancerion is also a straightforward , honest and don't like sugar coating his words.
"Sir Crancer! My brother! How have you been?" the king gretted and give him a brotherly hug.
"Your Highness! he replied as they hug each other.
"I don't like beating around the bush... I want to train your daughter Merioneth to be an aspiring soldier! he said seriously to Vandolf's face.
"Wait, what?! train her?! the king exclaimed. He scoofed and look at Sir Crancer's face.
"Why her? So you can make her as one of you pawn?! and use it againts me to take over the throne?!" The King added in a high pitch which made Sir Crancer's face been quiz by lemon that you can tell the sourness to it.
"I see... You thought only yourself and your position..but I may be frightening like a lightning but I am not as greedy as you think! I get easily satisfied for what I have! unlike you who only thinks of yourself! Now! I'll ask you this one question...Is your child Happy on your side? Sir Crancer said.
Vandolf stept backwards and look on the for what he just heard from his brother.
"Is my child really is happy on my side?" He asked himself on his mind.
He looked at Sir Crancer and to the direction of his daughter Merioneth's room.
"Will she then be happy if I let her go with you?" the king asked to Sir Crancer.
"I'll make sure she get to laugh out loud. I'll make her be with herself just as I promised to father."
