Once upon a time, in a different country, a girl who wanted an adventure dreamed of escaping from marrying someone she did not desire to be. Everyone at school thought that she would be prosperous and happy. But they had no idea what would happen and that the good fairy was watching the girl Belle Rose.
Belle Rose wants to escape her parents' grasp and live as she likes. Her parents are Paris and Ava. They want her to marry a millionaire, Ayers, whom Paris has met through business. Paris has agreed that Ayers can have Belle Rose as his wife, and they talk about Ayers coming over for dinner.
However, they don't know that Belle Rose has a mind of her own and wants to do things she wants instead of being told to do things she dislikes. Ayers lives at Chateau de Villandry, and Belle Rose lives a few minutes away. Belle Rose has a best friend, and her name is Fatima. Fatima and Belle Rose go to the same school.
Fatima knows that Belle Rose does not want to marry someone she has never met and helps Belle Rose take her mind off what her parents are doing by thinking of something that Belle Rose likes to think of. Belle Rose loves roses and having adventures. Paris and Ava want Belle Rose to follow the traditions that they followed when they were growing up.
Belle Rose knew her parents were taking her rights away, so she was allowed to stay with a teacher, and her teacher was her next-door neighbour. The teacher is Mrs Tia Sprocket, and she understands that Belle Rose does not feel safe or comfortable with what her parents are doing to her.
Mrs Sprocket also knows that Belle Rose doesn't want to marry Ayers to make her parents happy, and Belle Rose tells her everything. Mrs Sprocket allows Belle Rose to stay with her while Paris and Ava are on holiday. Mrs Sprocket walks with Belle Rose to and from school.
Belle Rose has a way of escaping from her parent's grasp and forgetting what is happening. Apart from going to school and doing homework, she reads books. Belle Rose escapes to her dreams, believing and knowing her dreams will come true. Belle Rose, Fatima, and Mrs Sprocket were at school one day.
Another teacher, Mrs Mary Vary, told Belle Rose, Fatima, Mrs Sprocket, other teachers and students in the classroom. The other teachers are Mr Edmund Redmund, Mr Edward Eduard, Mr Alfred Alvin, and Mrs Victoria Gloria.
The other students' names are Anne, Bradley or Brad, Daniel, David, Elizabeth, Ellie, Ethan, Harper, Leah, Lilly, Luke, Naomi, Nathen, Nolan, Nora, Owen, Robert, Ruby, Ryan, Sebastian, Thomas, and Zoe.
The students are between 20 and 29 years old. Mrs Vary waits for everyone to be quiet as a mouse and announces, "The headmaster has asked me to tell all of you that you are going on a five-day school trip because you are going to Hohenzollern Castle, and we are staying at a hotel nearby."
"(Mr Remund and Mrs Gloria hand out a sheet of paper with information about the school trip to the students, who read through it.) I want the slips of paper back by tomorrow or two days, and we are going by coach. I am afraid that everyone has to stay together and be in pairs. I will write about who will be paired up with you, and you will share the same hotel room with that person."
"Do not wander off alone, and do not enter the rooms you should not be in! We will have a guided tour around the castle and the surrounding areas. The tour guide will inform me what will happen each day. Can you please ask your parents for their permission for you to go on this trip, and can you get one of your parents to sign the slip of paper?"
Belle Rose knew she could ask her parents if she could go on this school trip; however, she had no idea that her parents had arranged a wedding day for her and Ayers. The rest of the students, including Fatima, left the classroom with Mr Redmund, Mr Eduard, Mr Alvin, and Mrs Gloria. Mrs Sprocket and Mrs Vary kept Belle Rose behind everyone else.
Belle Rose knew they wanted to talk to her and realised it was about her parents, Ayers, and how she was coping despite what was happening. Mrs Sprocket sat next to Belle Rose as Mrs Vary turned a chair around and sat across from her. Mrs Vary took a deep breath and asked, "Belle Rose, how are you feeling and coping with everything happening around you?"
Belle Rose knew she must be honest and replied as she shook her head. "Not great, and I am nearly losing my temper with my parents. I know they are making themselves happy, yet they are not making me happy by forcing me to marry someone I have never met or heard before."
"My parents kept listening to what I was saying and trying to help me. Nonetheless, I know that they were not listening to me and lying. I have tried a million times or more to get my parents to understand how I am feeling, but they still treat me like a little girl, aka a sixteen-year-old woman, when I am 22 years old. I want to go on this trip and could spend time on my own."
"I feel betrayed and let down by my parents. They don't realise we are in the 21st century and must let me do things I want. They don't understand how I am feeling and only think about themselves. I am 100% outraged that my parents are taking my rights away from me, and they have gone too far. Enough is enough, and I am hopping mad right now. I wish my parents would stop getting me sixteen birthday cards when I am not that age anymore."
Mrs Sprocket and Mrs Vary knew that Belle Rose was telling the truth. Mrs Vary let Belle Rose go and with Mrs Sprocket.
