About
The young royal, Princess Tea of Canterbury was born in the Celeste Gardens on the 3rd February at 1100 hours.
One day in the castle, the King returns from a trip to a neighbouring land...
"Father welcome home! Do you bring news from my friends Madame Beatrice and Lady Beth ~? I do so wish to tea with them soon!"
"There is something I've been meaning to discuss with you father...* fidgets with gown * I know you have my best interests at heart and only seek to protect me from the anti-royalists in our land. Nevertheless, I yearn to see the world beyond the walls of our palace just once!"
"BUT father I am 21 years old now! Have you so little faith in my capabilities!? I am able to wield a sword as well as any of the knights! If you are still concerned, I shall have my guard Saivern accompany me!"
"FINE. I will reject all vistiors until you grant me my wish! I refuse to be the isolated princess from this point! * locks self in room *"
And so the princess remains in her bedroom playing Gaia from dawn till dusk...
---
* knock knock, door opens * Tea pauses her virtual fishing. "Oh. It is you Sai. Has father given in?" she asks.
"No. That is not my motive for coming". * he bends down and tucks a lock of hair behind her ear * "Princess, look at you. You're refusing meals. Your face is not the beautiful moon it once was. I beg of you, stop punishing yourself like this!"
"It is something I must do. You should understand of all people. We've been friends since young and not once have I set foot outside of the grounds!"
"In my eyes, you are comparable to a trapped phoenix. You belong in the sunshine, not this cage of a room. At the very least, join me for a stroll in the palace gardens?" * he gently smiles *
With a flustered face she replies "J-just why would I go any where with you!? And what if father sees me, my plight will have been ruined!"
"You do not need to worry. He has retired for the night. And I will to let you wear my cap?".
"Well when you give me an offer like that, I cannot refuse hehe. Give me 5 minutes to switch the laptop off!"
"Very well."
* he lends her his arm and they stroll under the gaze of the full moon *
Somewhere in the distance, a voice can be heard...
"Wait just a minute! The door was locked. How did you get in!?"
3 years later...
The castle grounds are open for all to witness the holy matrimony of the country's beloved princess.
"And do you, Master Saivern, take this clumsy royal to be your lawfully wedded wife?" "I do" He replies simply.
Even the once overprotective King cannot prevent a single tear slipping out as he watches the blissful couple kiss.
Tea beams at her new husband and placing his hand on her growing bump, she whispers "I love you".
End.
