Chapter 1 King Roland II requests for new shoes

In a faraway land there was a beautiful kingdom called Enchancia. The kingdom of Enchancia was ruled by King Roland the second and everyone loved the good king. King Roland was blessed with his twin children Amber his oldest daughter by seven minutes and his son James. Even though he was blessed with what he had Roland felt a bit lonely since the death of his wife and queen. Amber and James missed their mother as well but they always did their best to make their father happy. One day while the king was spending time with his children playing in the garden his daughter Amber noticed something. "Daddy I think you need new shoes. You really wore out your old shoes" Amber pointed out. "She's right dad. I think your shoes are broken" exclaimed James. "The both of you are right. I should get new shoes but at last the royal shoe maker isn't in the palace since he is away" said King Roland. "I believe I can help with that problem" said Baileywick the castle steward. "I heard of a shoemaker in the village who is very good." "Wonderful who is he?" asked King Roland. "It's a she and I believe her name is Miranda. She runs a shoe shop with the help of her daughter. I can send for them at once if you wish" said Baileywick. "Sounds like a splendid idea. Please do so at once. Do you kids want new shoes made as well?" Roland asked his children and they both said, "Yes." Baileywick sent out a scroll requesting for Miranda and her daughter Sofia to come to the palace at once.

"Sofia come look at this. The king wants us to come to the palace because he wishes for us to make him and his children new shoes" Miranda said as she showed her daughter the scroll. "Oh wow this is such an honor. Are we going to do it?" asked Sofia. "Of course after all we are the villages best shoe makers. Come on let's go" answered Miranda as she and Sofia got into the carriage and headed for the palace. "Your majesties I present to you the shoe makers you requested to come Miranda and her daughter Sofia" Baileywick announced as Miranda and Sofia were lead inside the throne room. "This is such an honor to be here" said Miranda. "Thank you for coming" said King Roland. All of a sudden Miranda and Roland started smiling sweetly to each other. Miranda started to blush because she thought to herself, "I must say the king is very handsome." Sofia noticed how her mom and the king were looking at each other and smiled to herself. "Shall I start measuring everyone's feet to see what size all of you are?" asked Miranda. "Yes please" replied King Roland as Miranda got started and Sofia wrote down the measurements. "I got everyone's measurements and I can start making your shoes right away" said Miranda. "Thank you Miranda for coming and I look forward to when the shoes are ready" King Roland said as he handed a bag of coins as payment for her and Sofia's services. "It was such an honor to meet all of you" said Sofia before she and her mother left.

Later that night after Amber and James went to bed for the night Roland was still awake because he couldn't sleep. "Your majesty it's late. I'm surprise to see you up this late. Are you feeling alright?" asked Baileywick. I'm fine I was just thinking about that woman Miranda. She is such a delightful woman and I must admit she is very lovely. And her daughter Sofia is such a sweet child" answered Roland. "Do you like Miranda?" Baileywick asked. "I do because I believe the two of us felt an instant connection when we first looked at each other. I want to see her again and speak with Miranda" replied King Roland. "Of course your majesty. If you want you can come with me to pick up the new shoes when they are ready" offered Baileywick. "Thank you I will go with you. I wonder if Miranda felt something between us?" said King Roland" I believe so and I must say you haven't had a connection with a woman since you met your late wife" said Baileywick. Roland knew his castle steward was right and wished him a goodnight. Before Ronald went to sleep he said, "I think I'll ask Miranda if she would like it if I courted her."

Author's Note: Hi everyone here is the first chapter to my new story I like to call King Roland The 2nd and Miranda's love story based on the children's TV show Sofia The First. If any of you have seen Sofia The First then you know how Roland and Miranda met. I always wondered what it was like for the two of them to be courting before they got married. That is when I came up with the idea to write a story about these characters. All credit goes to the creditors of Sofia The First and Disney Junior. Please stay tune for my next update. Peace out from Princesspeach102!
