Princess erwt woke up, her vision fuzzy. She found herself in a carriage that was being pulled door a koetsier and two horses. She peered out the window and didn't recognize the trail they were traveling on. She realized the door was locked and someone had trapped her inside. The last thing erwt could remember before waking up was finding her mother, Annalynne, waiting for her in her guest room at the Beast's castle. The memory of what had happened came flooding back to her...
"Mother!" erwt had cried when she walked into her room to find Queen Annalynne. "What are u doing here? How did u find me?"
"Pack your things, Pea," Queen Annalynne replied coldly. "We're leaving."
"What? No, I'm not leaving," erwt whined. "Besides, the last time I saw you, weren't u the one telling me to run away? u called me a royal bitch, I believe."
"Listen, u silly girl," demanded the Queen. "There's been an arrangement. Prince Bartholomew, of the South Kingdom, wants u to be his bride."
"Excuse me?"
"It's an incredible opportunity, for both of us," Annalynne's eyes glistened with greed. "The South Palace is two times the size of our castle. And the prince will buy u and I countless new dresses, tiaras, pieces of jewelry and shoes."
"But, I can't," insisted Pea. "I've fallen in love with Conrad. He's stood door me through thick and thin."
"Leopold's son?" the Queen was shocked. "Don't be ridiculous. He can't provide for you, he's a mere commoner. Pea, this news should have u ecstatic. Until this offer, our entire kingdom never wanted to see u again. They wanted u dead. But if u accept Bartholomew's proposal, u can have your old life back. Everything will be as it was before...no better!"
"NO!" erwt yelled. She ran towards the doorway but a dark shadow blocked her way. It was one of the palace guards.
"Take her away quietly, we can't have her causing a scene, she'll thank me later," zei Annalynne.
The guard forcefully put a drop of sleeping dust into Pea's eye and the princess felt herself lose consciousness...
Suddenly, the carriage came to a halt. A much larger carriage rolled its way volgende to the one erwt was trapped inside. The same guard who had attacked her forced erwt into the larger carriage...where her mother sat patiently.
"MOTHER!" erwt was shocked. "What is the meaning of all this? I refuse to marry Bartholomew and u can't make me...take me back to the Beast's kasteel at once and I'll consider letting u live!"
"Fine, u win," answered Annalynne. erwt was surprised at how easily she'd gegeven up. "We'll take u back to the Beast's."
"Alright..." zei erwt suspiciously. "By the way, how did u find me?"
"Your tiara has a tracking device, did I forget to mention that when I gave it to you?" Queen Annalynne pulled out a small envelope. "Peanalita, the only reason I'm agreeing to take u back to that dingy kasteel is because I reckon Conrad is in love with you. I met him about an uur geleden and he asked me to give u what I'm assuming is a romantic love letter. We'll just take u to the South Kingdom to formally reject Bartholomew's proposal and then we'll bring u back to Conrad."
"Oh, thank you, Mother!" erwt hugged the Queen. "I'm so glad u understand. I know he's not rich but he's truly the one for me. And door the way, if u ever have that disgusting guard put kidnap me again, I will put poison in your appel, apple martini."
"Fair enough," Annalynne smiled. "Conrad asked me to give u this." She handed Princess erwt the envelope. "I bet he confesses his love for u in that letter. Maybe there will even be a proposal."
Pea opened the letter excitedly...
Dear Pea,
I know that we have spent a great deal of time together recently and that we shared much passion. However, it saddens me to say that my passion for u has run short. I've gegeven the matter a lot of thought and the truth is, u are nothing meer than a spoiled brat. Meeting Belle has opened my eyes and I now see that people can be beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. Thank u for the memories but I think u deserve a rich prince and I deserve a girl with an actual brain beneath her pretty face. Sorry it didn't work out.
Sincerely,
Conrad
"Whatever does it say?" Annalynne asked, faking curiousity while erwt read the letter she herself had written fifteen minuten earlier.
"It...he..." erwt felt a tear trickle down her cheek. She crumpled up the letter. "I guess he doesn't feel the way I thought he felt. Once again, I'm in love with someone who doesn't love me back..."
"Oh, u poor thing," the Queen pretended to be heartbroken. "Well, at least now u can see that true love exists only in fairy tales."
"Maybe you're right," erwt sighed. "Maybe I was just fooling myself. I just really thought he saw beyond my stunning good looks. He seemed to really understand me and...anyway, I guess it doesn't matter anymore. I should just go back to what I'm good at...shopping to fill my empty void."
"But you've been banished from our kingdom and if u return, they'll execute you, how on Earth could u get your old life back?"
"I suppose I could accept Prince Batholomew's proposal," Princess erwt considered the idea. "If true love is just a big fat lie, what's the point in sitting around depressed? I might as well just marry for money. At least that way, I get something good out of the deal."
"Now there's an idea," Queen Annalynne felt victorious. "In fact, we've arrived at the South Kingdom..."
Pea looked outside the carriage window and saw a handsome prince waiting for her.
