Chapter 4
Aw, he broke into the castle...is that good or bad?
Lemin came into my room the next morning. I never changed out of my dress and there were tear stains on my eyes. I quickly stood up.
"My beautiful queen!" He exclaimed as if he cared. "Why are you unhappy?"
"I hate this place, I hate being queen, I hate you, and you know it!" I snapped. Usually I was very kind and considerate but he was the last straw. Lemin looked hurt "One day Rapunzel you will see me as greater than anyone in the kingdom and you will love me."
"Dream on!" I told him "That day will never come."
Soon after some maids came in and Lemin turned to them "Oh good!" he exclaimed as if what I said hadn't left a scratch. "Your here, please get Queen Rapunzel ready for..." he paused "a walk in the town." Immediately he left.
I threw my self on the bed and closed my eyes Let this be a dream I pleaded Let this be a dream.
One maid came over and put a hand on my shoulder "Rapunzel? Is that really you?"
I sat up confused.
"Of course it is!" the other exclaimed.
I took a closer look at the both of them and smiled, it was my friends Samantha and Ethel.
Samantha was always the one friend who was ready for a party and by the looks of it, she hadn't changed from high school. Still had thin brown hair, with a slim figure. Except something about her look..her smile and eyes looked hurt and worried.
Ethel was athletic but extremely shy. She was super blunt and told you how things were no matter how much it hurt. She was short in high school and she told everyone that she would grow taller...she never did, she was still 5ft 2in. Her look was still as cautious and clever as ever.
I gave them both hugs "I thought I'd never see you again. How are you both doing?"
"Well, I never got pregnant." Samantha said, like I said; she was always ready for a party.
"Congrats?" I answered confused.
Samantha smiled and I turned to Ethel "What about you?"
"I ran my half marathon yesterday." she said as if it was nothing "I ran it in 20 minutes but I could have gone faster."
I laughed and it felt good. To finally have something happy in my life.
I heard a knock on my door "Rapunzel, are you dressed?"
"Not yet!" I answered.
I turned to my friends "Can I get dressed now?"
They both smiled as they pulled out a spring green dress with a flowered embroidered cape. Pretty soon I was dressed and ready for 'a walk in town.'
The door opened and Lemin came in holding Eugene by the shirt.
"So is this what you were crying over yesterday?" Lemin exclaimed as he flung Eugene to the floor.
Eugene looked as if he had been punched one too many times.
"What did you do to him?" I exclaimed running towards Eugene.
Lemin scoffed "I caught him trying to break into the castle, he's not allowed here."
Eugene started to get up "Rapunzel, are you okay?" He grabbed my had and put something in it but it was secretly done.
"Okay?" laughed Lemin "She has everything she's ever wanted. She more than okay." He pulled Eugene by the end of the shirt and dragged him out the door "You boy, have been a thorn in my side long enough!"
