Once upon a time in a far off land, there was a family of royalty. In that family there was a queen, king and a young prince. They all lived in a wonderful white castle with many servants, aunts and uncles. They ruled over a land that was deemed the kingdom of happiness because of how cheerful their people were. The royal family lived just as happily as their people. Though after awhile the queen grew weary. Each day she seemed to grow sadder and sadder, until she was in a pit of depression. One day the young prince asked his mother what was making her so sad. The queen smiled sadly at her son and picked him up. She told the boy that she wanted another child for her son to play with and help to teach him about responsibility, but she was not able to bear another and that was the reason she was so depressed. Wanting to make his mother smile again, the boy made a plan.

That night, when the moon was full and all the stars where out, the boy looked out from his window. Looking up at the shy, picked the smallest star that still shined the brightest and closed his eyes. He then muttered a wish that he put all his heart, hope and soul into. It looked like the wish was powerful enough to be heard as a small whisper to a strong magical creature. All in a single moment, a flash of light appeared in the darkness to relive the fairy with star wand. The prince stared up in wonder as the fairy leaned down, smiling at the boy. He asked what keeps him up at this hour. The boy explained to the fairy that he wanted his mother to be happy once again, so he wished that she could give birth to another child. The fairy smiled and kissed the boy's head, saying that for his wish to come true, he must go and plant a flower. A flower full of love and put a leaf and petal from the flower into his mother's food. In which the queen could be able to bear a child. The prince thanked the fairy as the creature left.

The next day the young prince ran off to the gardener of the castle. He asked him if he could have some flower seeds. Once the gardener had given the boy the seeds, the prince ran off into the forest where he would find a place to plant the seeds. After a few hours of searching, the boy had found the perfect place to plant them. The area was fresh with grass that was the brightest of greens, and the trees shading the plate of grass so perfectly that just the right amount of sun lay on the ground. A small smile appeared on the prince's face as he started to plant the seeds into the ground. As soon as he was done planting, he ran back to the castle before anyone could notice he was gone.

Day after day the boy came back to the spot in the forest, making sure that the flowers grew. As summer came the flowers bloomed into beautiful red roses that glowed in the sunlight. They smelled the sweeter than any candy the prince ever had. Once they were at their peak of beauty, the boy picked up the best of the flowers and ran back to the castle. The prince entered the kitchen plucked the greenest leaf and the brightest, softest red petal and smashed it into a powered. Then once he saw the next meat his mother was going to eat and put the powered into the food. The young prince then asked to bring the queen her food. Later the queen smiled at her son and ate the meal.

The next spring the queen gave birth to a little princess. Her hair was as golden as the sun that shined on the forest ground, her skin as soft as the petals of the rose. Even her eyes were as green as the leaf that lay on the flower. But the best part about her was her smile. It was so sweet and warm that even the coldest people in the kingdom couldn't happen but smile in return. Everyone in the kingdom was so glad at the princess's birth. Not as happy as the royal family though. The queen was back to her happy state, and the prince was amazed by the wonder his new baby sister brought to the world. As the little princess learned to walk and talk, people started to think of her as the sweetest princess in all the kingdoms.

Sadly though, when the princess reached the age of four and her brother the age of twelve a war ran through their land and another. The king that ruled the other kingdom was jealous of how much the one kingdom thrived in wealth and happiness. The other king told his people lies of the happy kingdom. He told the people that the happy kingdom planned to overtake them and kill off every boy that was born. Naturally the lies angered the other kingdom and they demanded war. That was how it all started.

It seemed like the war would go on for years, but once the king died in a battle it seemed like all hope was lost and the kingdom was at the mercy of the other one. But when the other king came to the white castle and saw the little princess smiling up at him, despite being her father's killer, the other king thought of something. The other king told the queen that if she kept the young princess in a tower and let his son come and rescue her and marry her on her sixteenth birthday then he would give the kingdom mercy. But if not, he would take the kingdom for himself and take his wrath on the kingdom.

With no other choice the queen made the deal and set her daughter into a tower, far into the forest where creatures of nightmares ran free. So no random soul would be able to find the girl in the tower. If she was to leave her tower before the other king's son came to rescue her, then the kingdom happiness will no longer be on the earth. It is said that the young princess is still sitting in her tower, waiting for the prince to come and save her.

Natalya slammed the book close as she read the last words. The librarian, who was putting away some books in the shelves near the platinum blonde, heard the loud thump of the book closing and looked over at the young woman.

"Ma'am?" He asked, as she stood up from her chair and put up her hood that covered some of her face. "Are you finished with that book?" He pointed down at the book. Natalya nodded and picked up the book. Walking past the librarian she thrust the book into his arms. He looked down at the book before seeing the title and looked back with confusion as Natalya walked towards the door.

"Ma'am? Why were you reading this book?" At this, she turned around to face the man with no emotion on her face.

"I wanted to learn more of the princess in that story of course." She stated, as if her intentions was obvious. The look of confusion grew on the man's face as he heard her.

"And why would you want to learn about her? Because of curiosity of a traveler like yourself?" He asked. Natalya stood her head and turned once again and opened the door in front of her.

"I will save the girl from her fate." She said as the sounds of spring leaked through the opened door. The librarian set the book down onto the table and cracked a smile, finding what she said funny.

"Surely ma'am, you must be joking," He started to say. "After all many lords and princes have set off to find this fairy tale princess to save her and marry. How could you a woman go and do what many men had failed to do?"

"Because, I only plan to save her from the fate that was forced on her." At that she walked out of the small library and shut the door after her.

AN: I really like this pairing and I was dying to write this. I'll try to put up the next chapter up in the next three days or at the most next week. By the way I own nothing about Hetalia. Little Phili out~
