Princey's POV
I waited anxiously for the duke to come back. Had he found the strong girl? My "love"? Suddenly, I heard the clip-clop of horses' feet. I laughed in relief. The strong girl was riding to me wearing... a servant's dress? I smiled at my luck. If she was a servant girl, she would be used to hard work and be able to do all of my chores!
She came in the castle. I watched as she walked up the stairs. THe girl lost a shoe on the way up, and put it back on. I would not let her wear shoes when she was mine.
I waited for her to come in. She did, and I smiled. I finally saw her eyes. They were light blue. I didn't really care. Then again, I did! All of the king's servants had brown eyes, so I would be able to tell her apart from them.
"Hi," she said.
"Hi," I said.
A servant rushed into the room. She was the head servant, and she grabbed the girl's arm. "It's time for you to get ready for the wedding!" she said.
The wedding? We were having it so soon? I grinned. Then I frowned.
"Wait!" I said to the girl. "First tell me your name."
"Cinderella!" she said. Then she was pulled away.
What an interesting name. I hope she won't mind sleeping by the cinders tonight, I thought. Then I laughed at my own little joke.
I decided to get ready for my wedding. I put on a clean blue shirt from the pile (my room is a big mess) and dug until I found some red pants with no stains on them.
Then, I went to see Cinderella. She was nowhere to be found, but I found her servant's attire in a garbage bin. I grabbed it and threw it into my room. She would wear that when she did my chores.
Later, at the wedding, I stood by my father. Suddenly, Cinderella came into view. She was wearing a breathtaking white dress with a veil. Someone screamed, "That's my sister!" Flowers were everywhere.
She went up the stairs, said our vows, and kissed. I led her back down the stairs. She lost a shoe. I grabbed it and slipped it on her cold foot. We went to a carriage, and I let her step in before me. We kissed, and I could have sworn that somebody said, "And they lived happily ever after."
But that's about to change, I thought.
