A/N: Hello! Just a random idea bouncing around in my head. Umm, yeah this is the first fanfic that I have ever written in this fandom. Don't get me wrong, I've written other fics for other fandoms. But anyways, I really like the Marinette is secretly a princess AUs, and keep wanting to attempt one. So yeah. Of course, mine actually has a twist to it that I have yet to see anyone else use…
If I made any mistakes about the French language…blame Google Translate.

Prologue: The Bakers and…the King?!
~Fifteen years earlier~
A large form lumbered through the dark hallway of the palace, quietly following a lean, muscular guard. Pausing in front of a large double door that appeared to be made of heavy oak, the guard knocked rapidly. A loud creaking sound filled the hall as the door creaked open. Feet thumping loudly against the marble flooring, the large figure strolled into the even larger throne room. Walking calmly, he approached the cloaked tall figure standing by one of the large windows.
"You summoned me, my king?" The tall figure swept low into a bow.
The king turned to face him, his soft bluebell eyes flooded with worry. "You are married to my sister-in-law, correct?"
"Yes sir." The mysterious figure knitted his eyebrows together, puzzled by what the king meant by that.
"Then you should know, my wife the queen was assassinated earlier." The king paused, turning back to look out the window. "Go look behind the throne. There is a small cradle there. My wife was able to give birth to our daughter before she passed. For her own safety, I want you and your wife to raise her as your own."
The figure started, his eyes flickering over to where the throne was at. He could just make out the small cradle that the king had mentioned. "Are you sure about this your highness?"
"Positive. Now go. Hurry before anyone realizes her existence." The king dismissed his brother-in-law.
"We will stay in the city your highness." The mysterious man walked over to the cradle, picking the infant princess up. "Just one thing. What's her name?"
~Now-a-days~
The bedroom was full of fabrics, pictures…mainly cutouts of a certain blonde teen model, as well as a computer and sewing table. A small red creature with antennas and black spots floated over to the bed, a huge smile on its face. Bending over the still, sleeping form the creature opened her mouth wide. "Marinette! Wake up! You have school today!" The creature nudged the warm cheek closest to her.
"Hmmm?" Marinette opened her bleary blue eyes, her blue-black hair falling into face. "Morning already? What time was it when Chat and I finally beat that Akuma last night, Tikki?"
"About three a.m. Now come on, you need to get up. I already let you sleep in for fifteen minutes." Tikki flew around her sleepy chosen's head.
Marinette sprang out of bed, throwing her covers off quickly. "What?! Why didn't you say so earlier! Wait… why didn't Maman wake me?"
Tikki shrugged, worry briefly flashing in her eyes. "I don't know why she didn't came up to wake you for school."
Marinette ruffled through her drawers, looking for something to wear to school. Preferably one of her own designs. "What about Papa? Did he come up and checked on me?"
"No." Tikki shook her small head as she dove through her chosen's sock drawer.
The drawer popped open as she thrusted it open from the inside, holding up a pair of white socks with pink lace around the edges. Marinette smiled as she grabbed the socks, already holding a pair of pink Capri and a light pink t-shirt. "Thanks Tikki…can you grab my purse? I'll try to hurry." Marinette ducked into her bathroom to change quickly.
…
Marinette frowned as she sprinted to her class, confused about why her parents hadn't been home when she left for school. The bakery being just underneath their apartment meant that even when she slept in, she could still see them before she leaves.
"Marinette! Girl! You will not believe what happened last night!" A tall teen girl with brown hair with red highlights sprinted up to her, pushing her glasses up on her face while waving her cell phone wildly in the air.
Marinette smiled, thrilled to see her best friend and wannabe reporter, Alya Cèsaire, running up to her. "Hey Alya. What's up?" Marinette tightened her grip on her purse, already knowing the answer.
"Ladybug and Chat Noir is what's up! There was an Akuma attack last night. Don't tell me you didn't hear." Alya slung her arm around the slightly smaller girl, smirking.
Marinette feigned surprise, widening her eyes in horror. "There was? Oh dear! I must have slept through it like the good kid that I am…"
"You're always late for class, girl. Hi Ms. Bustier." Alya nodded to the young teacher that was patiently waiting for the two girls to sit down in their seats.
"Good now that Alya and Marinette are here…" Ms. Bustier fought the urge to smile at the two best friends. "We can get going on to today's lesson."
The two teens quickly sat down in the second row, right behind two boys. The one boy was wearing a bright red cap and headphones, while the other was a blonde wearing designer clothes. A dreamy sigh escaped Marinette as she looked at the back of her crush, barely noticing what Ms. Bustier was telling them.
…
"Don't forget to read chapters nine and ten tonight!" Ms. Bustier called out as the class emptied as a cacophony of noise rose up amongst the large group of teens.
Alya nudged Marinette, nearly knocking the smaller girl into the teen model. Adrien Agreste quickly twisted around to catch the startled girl. "You ok Marinette?"
Marinette turned bright red, a blush covering her face. "You're fine. Catch you great…I mean…uh…I'm fine. You caught me just in time." Marinette silently congratulated herself on actually getting a full sentence out with Adrien there.
Nino Lahiffe, best friend of Adrien, grinned and shot her a thumbs up, knowing about her crush on Adrien. Unfortunately, another blonde in the class had watched the entire ordeal.
"Adrikins! Are you ok? Maybe you should come eat lunch with moi and leave these commoners behind." Chloe swept over pushing Marinette back into Alya.
Adrien took a small barely noticeable step back. "Sorry Chloe. I already promised Nino I'll eat lunch with him…besides they aren't commoners. They are my friends."
Chloe opened and closed her mouth multiple times out of shock. Finally she spun around and stormed off. "Wanna join us, Alya and Marinette?"
"We would love to join you, right girl?" Alya nudged Marinette.
Marinette squeaked, a blush rising up on her checks as she looked at her best friend with round eyes. "No! I mean…yes! This is soo embarrassing…" She burrowed her face into her hands, feeling herself turn a brighter shade of red.
Laughter erupted from her friends, even as the rest of the class joined them. A hand landed on her shoulder, a voice speaking up. "Come on Marinette. It'll be fun for all of us to eat together. We don't typically do that."
"Thanks Alix…" Marinette whispered, a small smile crossing her face.
"AAAHHH! MARINTTE DUPAIN-CHENG I AM COMING FOR YOU!" Everyone jumped in the air, whipping around to see a bee themed Akuma headed straight towards them.
Instinctively the group of friends tried to cover her, even as they fled the scene. Slipping away from the others, Marinette ducked into the ladies bathroom. Sighing to herself, she opened her purse up, allowing Tikki to fly out of it. "Come on Tikki. We have to save Chloe!"
"Say the magic words Marinette!" Tikki chirped as she did a little dance in the air.
"Tikki! Spots on!" Marinette flipped her hair, revealing that she was wearing light grey earrings with five dark grey spots on them. Tikki flew into the earrings…and magic immediately oozed out of them and covered Marinette.
When the magic faded away, Marinette was clad in skintight pink spandex that had black spots and a matching mask. A yoyo hung at her waist and her ponytails were held back by two long pink ribbons. Smiling, she rushed out of the room and towards the battle. Her earrings were now a bright red with five black spots.
…
"Don't let her touch you, m'lady!" A young teen boy with messy blonde hair dressed like a black cat cried out as he warned Marinette. "I wouldn't let any of the bees sting you either."
Marinette frowned dropping down next to him. "What's this one's name Chaton? And her powers."
Chat Noir, teen super hero, swatted multiple bees away, eyeing the advancing Akuma. "BeeHive. She can turn people into bees that swarm her and they in turn can turn others into bees. Any ideas?"
Marinette glanced around to see if she couldn't get any, when she spotted Alya filming the battle nearby. Alya noticed her watching and quickly waved her over before disappearing inside. Tapping her partner on the shoulder, she quickly nodded in the direction of their most reliable source of information and sprinted over to where she lost spotted Alya.
"Pssst! Ladybug! In here!" Alya hissed, drawing both heroes attention.
Ducking down, Marinette crept into the low ceilinged room. "Ms. Cèsaire, do you know something about this Akuma?"
Alya nodded her head fiercely. "It's my classmate, Chloe. You…the mayor's daughter? Anyways, she is really upset at the fact teen model Adrien Agreste chose to eat lunch with us and not her…so yeah. She's more concentrating on my best friend Marinette than anyone else. I haven't seen her in a while though…"
Marinette forced a bright smile out, quickly waving her arms around wildly like she always did when her civilian self was questioned after when she was saving the day. "I'm sure she's ok. Now come on kitty, we still need to find where the akuma is hiding!"
Before Chat Noir could say anything, Alya spoke up. "Bracelet. Chloe has been wearing a new charm bracelet all week. You can't miss it. It's the only thing that hasn't changed with her."
"Thank you Miss." Chat Noir nodded to the civilian, before turning to face his ladybug. "Coming M'lady?" Chat Noir swept low in a bow of sorts.
Marinette rolled her eyes, gently pushing him away. "Of course kitty. Now come on!" She spun around, sprinting back at into the chaotic battlefield.
…
"Lucky Charm!" Marinette threw her yoyo into the air, watching it spin. Catching it in one hand, she used her other hand to catch a red bee charm with black spots.
"Really M'lady? What are you gonna do? Add more charms to her bracelet?" Chat Noir quirked his eyebrow up, puzzled by what the lucky charm could do in this situation.
Marinette frowned, staring at the small charm. "Give me a minute Chaton…" She snapped her head up suddenly, an idea glinting in her eyes. "Chat! See that pipe?"
"On it M'lady!" Chat Noir sprinted towards the pipe, reaching his hand up to the sky. "Cataclysm!"
A dark gloomy glow covered his hand. Swinging it down, he slammed it into the pipe. Immediately, the pipe rusted away to nothing, crumbling to the ground. Water sprayed everywhere. Marinette flung the charm into the water, yelling out to the akuma has she did so. Infuriated, the Akuma flung herself into the water…only to discover that it couldn't swim or get back out of the water. As the Akuma floundered, Marinette grabbed the charm bracelet and neatly broke it, releasing a dark purple and black butterfly.
Seizing her yoyo, she opened it up and caught the butterfly in it. "No more evil-doing for you little butterfly!" Releasing it, a solid white butterfly flew out. "Miraculous Ladybug!" She threw the lucky charm into the air, watching it as it broke up into millions of ladybugs.
Turning to face her partner, she held up her fist to him. A grin crossed his face as he quickly fist bumped it. "Pound it!" The two heroes chorused together.
…
Marinette dropped into her bedroom, exhaustion tugging at her limbs. Running her fingers through her hair, a soft murmur escaped her. "Tikki…Spots off." A bright pink light surrounded her as she dropped the transformation turning back into Marinette. Tikki flew over to the stash of chocolate chip cookies to recharge…and froze as something caught her eye.
"Umm…Marinette?" Tikki flew backwards, away from the cookies she needed.
"Uh?" Marinette looked over to see what had her kwami so startled…and immediately felt all color drain from her face.
For sitting in her room was her parents, a tall baker with brown hair and a matching mustache and a petite Chinese woman that looked a lot like her…and next to them was the king of France…
"We need to talk…" The king folded his arms, fury flooding his eyes.
A/N: Done! Ok…not gonna post any more of this until after I finish writing my Sofia the First story. Since I am almost done with that one…really should update it too… ugh. Thoughts?
