Everyone thinks that the words spoken at the altar would last a lifetime, but they sometimes don't. It's the happiest day of your life, walking down the aisle, claiming your love to another and sharing a kiss to seal the deal. Your world is a world full of happiness but it comes crashing down when the love of your life says these words: "I think we should get a divorce", yet it always comes unexpectedly.


One day Corinne packs her bag and leaves with Louisa. Expecting Louis to come after her like he always does. But he never did, thinking Corinne would come back. That was the day their worlds came crashing down.

Before that incident their Royal Highnesses King Louis and Queen Corinne had two daughters, Princess Courtney and Princess Louisa. They were identical twins and both had their mother's blond hair, lips and icy blue eyes while they inherited their father's nose and ears. The twins were never seen apart until Corinne left with Louisa and Courtney stayed with Louis. When Corinne was said to be found dead, her title of Queen was taken away and all traces of her as queen was burned by the Grand Visor against Louis' wishes. But what the Grand Visor did not know was that one portrait of the entire royal family was hidden in the castle attic, covered with a heavy cloth and forgotten. After leaving the palace, Corrine never tried to contact Louis. Neither of them told their daughter that she had a twin sister in another country.


Louisa is a typical 9 year old girl that lives with her mother Corinne D'Artagnan and her grandmother Marie D'Artagnan in Vienna. "It's time, it's time! Its princess charm school lottery time! We have to watch!" Louisa told her mom, pulling her onto the couch.

What happens on the TV

Headmistress Privet is seen walking up to the podium to deliver her speech. "At princess charm school, those born to royal life unlock their princess potential in a four year course that starts at the ages of 9, 12, 15 and 18. They would come to school for a year and return home for two years to show what they have learned in school. But every year, four regular citizens of Vienna win a full scholarship (that lasts all 4 years) with the chance to become a lady royal to a princess." She takes an envelope out of the box, opens the envelope and reads it. "This year's lady royals in training will be, Louisa D'Artagnan, Trista Stuart, Rose O'Brien and Aria Spencer."

"Yes! We're going to go to princess charm school. I knew it. Now the four of us will really be together. Just like when you first arrived to Paris when you were seventeen. I hope we share a dorm," Louisa exclaimed.

Suddenly a knock at the door is heard. Louisa jumps up to answer the door and a guard is seen gesturing Louisa to the carriage. Louisa runs to the door, blows her mom a kiss and the carriage rolls away. Corinne watches with a sad smile as her daughter leaves to princess charm school for her scholarship. Who'd have thought that Louisa would be going to princess charm school? I should tell Viveca, Armina and Renée now all our girls will be going to the same school. Although they probably heard it on the TV. Who knew that none of our daughters wouldn't have an interest in fighting and would rather become related to royalty? She then arranges to meet her friends at the café.


Louis was impatiently waiting in the garden for his daughter Courtney to emerge from the palace. After waiting five minutes, the blue eyed girl exited the place and went into the garden.

"Sorry I'm late papa," Courtney said.

"It's all right, although having to wait is not ideal. Now as we know, you are leaving the castle in half an hour with Captain Treville to ensure that you arrive in Vienna on time for your first day of school at princess charm school. Everything should be packed and you are ready to go," Louis says.

"Of course it is. I finished yesterday," Courtney said as a sigh of longing escapes her lips. She had been waiting for her whole life to attend Princess Charm School and was super excited for the first day of school.

They walk in the garden for several minutes before Louis stops in front of a bed of irises and picks a purple iris.

"Here you go milady. Do you remember why an iris is so important to us?" Louis asked.

"Well I know that it is the flower that represents France, but that's all," Courtney replied.

"Yes you are right; it is the national flower of France. I'm glad you actually listened to your tutor. But a purple iris also symbolizes wisdom and compliments. I know that you are very smart and I'm sure you will receive many compliments at Princess Charm School. It's time to get into the carriage," Louis said after consulting his watch.

"Bye papa, I'll see you at Christmas. I love you!" Courtney said as she got into the carriage.

"Have a safe trip Courtney. Call the castle when you arrive in Vienna. I'll miss you too!" Louis shouted as the carriage rolled out of the courtyard and out of sight.
