My Frog Prince
Chapter One
I remember it as if it were yesterday.
It was the day I met my handsome Prince. I was just a young girl at the time, no older than 16. My uncle Ultor was King of Tardonia. He never married, or had any children, so my stepsister, Henrietta and I were next in line for the Throne. We were to be judged by the royal Ambassador. It was for him to decide which one of us would be the Princess, and rule all of Tardonia.
Henrietta always was more gracious and beautiful than me, and two years my senior, but that was no matter. I knew better. She was loving and adorable on the outside, but on the inside; she was as rotten as a tomato. She never showed her cruel side to anyone other than me. Oh, the tricks she played on me were horrible.
But mother always seemed to love me just a tiny bit more. I remember once, just before my mother died, she called me into her room. She gave me a little golden ball and told me to take great care of it always. It was the last thing my mother had ever given to me, and I treasured it. It was my good luck charm; I carried it with me everywhere.
I never really cared much for ruling. No. What I cared for more than anything in the world was being wild and carefree, without any boundaries.
Uncle Ultor, however, had different ideas. It was clear to anyone that he favored me over Henrietta any day, which explained why he wanted me to be the Princess, and not her. But, he had absolutely no say in the Ambassador's choice. He only wished that I'd be more like Henrietta.
I do, however, have to thank her for one thing. It had started out as one of her tricks; she took my ball and threw it out a window. It landed in a small pond, within the garden. Being terribly worried, I went outside to look for it. When I reached the pond, I immediately found my ball, but it wasn't in the water. No, it sat on a tiny lily pad, too far for me to reach.
I was just about ready to jump in and swim to it, when a little voice said, "Never fear, Miss!" Much to my surprise, a frog jumped out from the bush. He swam to the lily pad, and sat upon in. He said, "I shall retrieve your trinket and swim it back to you. In return, you must let me stay with you in the palace, just for a few days."
Naturally I agreed (I did want my ball back, after all), and within moments, he had swum over to me with my ball. Keeping my promise, I picked him up and took him back to the castle with me. I was very careful not to let anyone see him.
Thankfully, no one noticed, so, when we reached my room I placed him on my bed, and told him my story. I told him that the Ambassador was coming in only a few days, and that I had no idea how to act like a princess. Upon hearing this, he immediately offered to help me and give me 'princess lessons.' I hadn't a clue what he was talking about, but all he told me was to meet him in the Ballroom. With that, he hopped off my bed and out of my room.
