An adventure to remember
Eugene and Rapunzel headed out on their journey. Clueless as to where they were going, Rapunzel heartily agreed when Eugene mentioned the words "adventure" and "alone time" in the same sentence. Unbeknownst to Rapunzel, Eugene was taking her away from the kingdom of Corona, far far away. He initially planned on touring surrounding kingdoms, but like all of his great plans, it was ruined.
Their adventure started when they first attempted to leave the palace, because Rapunzel did not know where they were headed, she packed, and packed, and packed until she was satisfied with her luggage. Unfortunately for Eugene, Rapunzel didn't understand the concept of "light packing". Reluctantly, he sat down with his princess before they set out on their journey. When properly packed, Eugene led Rapunzel to a carriage. This carriage took them far away from the kingdom, to a boat, which then took them to another kingdom, the kingdom of Arles, located in modern day France.
"Eugene, look at the tower!" Rapunzel squealed, she had spotted the first clue. Although she didn't know where she was, she had her journal out and was taking plenty of notes. Again she pointed, this time, nearly hitting Eugene in the face when she said, "Look at that bridge! There are so many people on it! Eugene, can we go there, please?" Sadly, he agreed. Eugene intended on this trip being something for the both of them, and was a little upset when Rapunzel began making all the decisions. After a day or so, Eugene finally put his foot down.
"Listen, Blondie, not that your ideas of fun aren't 'fun' and all, would it be okay if the person who actually planned this adventure made some decisions? For once?". Pouting, Rapunzel looked to Eugene and mumbled, "Yeah, sure, I guess" before going back to her drawing. Even though it was a pathetic win, Eugene still saw this as a victory. For the next few days they relaxed in the mountains, went climbing and hiking, seeing the sites and ignoring the people. Rapunzel, completely miserable, just wanted to see the sites and draw.
That night, Rapunzel decided to take it on herself to get her dream vacation, she decided she was going to sneak out and spend the day as she pleased. She packed a light bag and snuck out of their hotel in the middle of the night, by the morning, Eugene was frantic. "Gone for a while, be back tomorrow. Xo Punz" Eugene read the note over and over again, confused and angry. Finally, he set out for the town, determined to find her. He checked all of the places that she wanted to visit, with no luck. A man with gray hair, who had tried to talk to Eugene the day before, approached him at the bakery. "Sir, are you looking for the princess?" he asked Eugene. Overtaken with emotion, Eugene answers, "Yes, yes of course! Have you seen her?" With a smirk, the old man exclaims, "I did, earlier. But now she's gone." Eugene grabs the man by his throat and slams him to the wall, "Where is she? What have you done?" The man laughs and says, "The question isn't what have I done, boy. The question is what have you done?".
