Prologue to Chapter Three
Prince Charming rode off while watching Princess Eleanora wave a him, her figure getting smaller and smaller. Even if he was leaving his wife, he didn't feel sad. Instead he was happy. He thought, Now that Princess Eleanora is out of my way, I am free to go to my new beloved, Harriett. Harriett was a new girl. She was a prisoner to a tower. But Prince Charming didn't think that. What he only thought of Harriett was the fact that she was beautiful. He was beginning to tire of Princess Sativum who was without correspondence for three months. And to Princess Eleanora who was already pregnant of his first child. His only child as a matter a fact. He was childless with Princess Sativum. And maybe the reason was because he left Princess Sativum after the opening of the Pea Wing. The opening was right after their wedding day and they haven't the chance to have a honeymoon.
He first went to Rapenz bearing the reason to solve the bandit problem of the villagers. On his way there he heard a marvelously beautiful voice. He followed it and eventually found the tower bearing the poor Harriett. He saw the witch climb using golden hair. But to get the hair, the witch said words:
Rapunzel, Rapunzel,
Let down your hair
He did the same when the witch left. The hair fell down and when he climbed up he saw Harriett. It was love at first sight. Prince Charming charmed Harriett and Harriett was touched and felt love grow in her. She long everyday to be with him. Prince Charming too wanted always to be with Harriett but he still has to go back to Princess Eleanora who was pregnant. He then thought of Princess Eleanor as a burden to his freedom. He made excuses about his late arrival at night. He lied to her. And he also lied to Harriett. He told her that he wasn't married, that she was the only one for him. But he also said this to Princess Sativum and Princess Eleanora. He played the game of deceit with Princess Eleanora and Harriett for a month. Eventually, the unfaithful scumbag [I can't help it!!!], lied to poor Princess Eleanora about the bandit problem saying that is worse which is really not. Princess Eleanora believed him for she was faithful and loving. The imbecile, Prince Charming, happily went to Harriett to free her from the witch. He doesn't know that he will face his doom. [Yeah!!!]
"Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!" Prince Charming said. His heart was beating fast. He wanted so much to run and kiss Harriett. [That @#%$&*^!!!!!]
The golden hair fell down. Prince Charming immediately grabbed it. And he climbed. And climbed. And climbed to meet his beautiful Harriett. But instead of Harriett, he saw the wicked ugly witch that was the obstacle of their love. The witch cackled infront of the surprised prince's face and pushed him down. Prince Charming fell from the tall tower. But instead of killing him, he landed on a thorny bush that blinded him. He wandered, all the while thinking about Harriett and forgetting his two other wives.
Chapter Three
The Princess Of Hair
Princess Harriett*This happened after Prince Charming said goodbye to Princess Eleanora*
I was all alone in the forest. Without Prince Charming. Woe is me! That vile witch Trenzia cut my gorgeous long blonde hair, tricked my darling, and cast me away! What more does she want? I have lost my love, my hair, my home, and my life. What more does that evil witch want from me? Everyday was a routine. Wake up, eat, cry, be miserable, eat, cry, be miserable, eat, cry, be miserable, sleep. Then it will start all over again. Today was the fourth week. The fourth week of sentence. How much more days will pass me by before I die?
A bird tweeted. I looked up and saw her. I didn't know what type she is. All those years in the tower made me ignorant of my surroundings. And Trenzia never told me about things. Especially things insignificant to her. Like birds. This little darling was blue with a white chest. I wonder what this lovely thing is called. She tweeted again. This time, it had a tune. She tweeted it again and again that I was beginning to memorize it. After a number of repetitions, I hummed along. It wonderful singing with a bird. And I supposed that the bird thought it was wonderful to sing with a girl. To her I sang my sorrows, my misery. It was nice to have someone or rather a something to listen to you. The bird seemed to understand all that I have said. I sang for a long time to the bird and we soon became friends. I know some people think it stupid to befriend animals because they are just mindless creatures, but they really aren't. My bird had a mind of her own and she's using it to understand me.
"I think I will name you…Sky. Because you remind me of the sky and you fly with the sky." I said after a song about Prince Charming. The bird seemed to understand. Or I thought so because Sky nodded her little head.
I sang once more. This time it was about he witch Trenzia. Sky looked terrified. She seemed to be because she seemed restless and she shifted around. Poor little thing. I cooed a song for comfort.
"Harriett?"
I was surprised. I have seen not a trace of humans in a long time. And the voice was surprisingly familiar. I turned around. The person gave tears to my eyes. His clothes were ragged and torn. His body was scarred and bloody. He was carrying a long stick. And he was touching and feeling things. His eyes were closed. The man was blind.
The man was my Prince Charming.
"Charming!" I cried and dropped Sky who fell to the ground. "Charming! What has that witch Trenzia, done to you?" I hugged him even if he was ragged and torn.
"Harriett. I am blind! Will you still love me even if I am as ragged and as bloody as a leper?"
My heart, broken once into a thousand pieces, mended once again. "I will. I love you no matter what!" Then I cried sending two teardrops into his blind, unseeing eyes. Then, a miracle happened. His eyes started to flutter open, showing the sky in his eyes.
"Harriett," he breathed out after looking at me closely, "I could see! Your tears! They cured me!"
"You can see," I said happily, eyes brimming with tears of joy, "I'm so happy."
"I love you Harriett. I searched for you even if I was blind. I love you. Be my queen."
I hugged him once more and kissed him joyously. "I will, I will!"
We hugged and kissed once more. Then, we made our way back to the palace.
"Charming?" I asked during breakfast. It was the day he was to leave. I couldn't bear it. But I didn't want to cry now. I just poured a whole ocean last night. Charming will be going to Sowite. I guess I should be used to it. He is a prince with four kingdoms. And I, wouldn't want to travel with him. And even if I do, he would decline. He says it would slow him down. And he does travel alone.
"Yes, Harriett?" he replied innocently.
"If you leave, will you still remember me?"
"Of course, you are my Princess Harriett. How could I forget you?" he laughed. I smiled.
"What if you met a girl, and love her more than me?"
Charming stared. After a moment of silence he said. "That would never happen. I love till eternity. And who would be a lot more beautiful than you?"
"Anyone…" I said.
"Don't worry. I will love you still. I have to go now." He came up to me and kissed me. Then he left.
I have a strong feeling that my husband is cheating on me. But I knew I was just being a paranoid. He would never do that.

Read Me Etcs.*~*~*~*~*~*~*
You know, I really couldn't write a Prince Charming POV. My blood boils everytime he is mentioned. Did I say before that I had a little of man-hater's blood in me? That's true…and that's one of the reasons why I hate the character I created!!!You must have noticed the little comments I wondering around.
Heehee, can't help it!
Thanks a million for reviewing
