Endymion rubbed his temples. He was so tired of snobby, self-centered
princesses that often came to visit him. They gave him such a headache with
their constant whining about things. He wished he could get away from it
all. Not to mention his older brother was such a jerk. He would constantly
tattle on Endymion just to get him in trouble.
But all this changed after meeting Serena. He had spent a little less than a month with her, and she had gotten to his heart already. He had fallen in love with her. How? He didn't know. But all he knew, was that he would do whatever it took to make her happy.
***********
Serena continued to work faithfully over the days. She was a hard worker, and she never complained. But it always ticked her off that Prince Daichi was so mean. She was sure he would have struck her more than once if Endymion had not been in their presence. She was sure that he did this to all of his servants. She always tried to avoid him when possible.
On the brighter side of things, she frequently heard from her parents through a messenger. They were doing much better now that Serena's income was being sent to them. They were nearly out of debt now, and Serena was eager to work harder to earn them more money. But this all changed one day...
Serena had been washing the walls when two other servants came up to her and each grabbed one of her arms. They began leading her down a corridor and into a room that was even grander than the one she resided in now. She was completely baffled by this. What were they doing?
"Put these on after you take your bath, mistress." Said one, laying down something on the bed.
The other one showed her to the bath tub, where warm water was already awaiting.
"What's going on?" She asked.
"Your questions will be answered in the throne room. We will be back to escort you there." Said the servant, grabbing the other servant and rushing out, closing the door behind them.
She looked puzzled.
She took a luxurious bath, and dried off. She then put on her undergarments and went to put on the clothing that was lying on the bed. She gasped when she saw what it was. It was a beautiful pink and white dress. The main part of the dress was white, with lots of frills and such. Then there was a soft netting that went over the complete dress, which was pink. The top of the white part of the dress was sleeveless, and the pink netting was long sleeved, so that her arms were slightly hidden, but for the most part you could see them.
Also on the bed was a box of jewelry. She put on the Pearl necklace, with earrings to match.
She then did her hair in her usual style of "buns and pigtails".
The servants came back just as Serena had finished.
"You look beautiful mistress, but you are missing one thing." Said the first servant as she produced a silver tiara with heart shapes and a single pearl in the middle.
"Oooh, it's so pretty!" She said as the servant slipped it onto her head.
The servants then escorted her to the throne room, as promised. The queen, the king, and the two princes were there.
"I'm so sorry about the way you were treated, I had no idea!" The Queen said as she stepped off her throne and descended the stairs to stand with Serena.
Serena started to bow, but the Queen stopped her.
"No no dear, you needn't do that." She said with a smile.
"But it's required for servants to bow to royalty." She said.
"Well, that's why we called you here, dear." The Queen said.
Serena waited for her to go on.
"I do believe there was some sort of mix up. The parents, the ones you said you were supporting, well, they aren't your parents." Said the Queen.
"What!?" Serena gasped, her mouth open.
"Allow me to tell you a story. Please have a seat." Motioned the queen, as she herself sat down on a chair.
Serena obeyed.
"Not too many years ago, maybe, sixteen, I had a best friend. Her name was Queen Serenity. She gave bith to a child, Princess Serenity. All went well until her evil sister began plotting against her for something that was not her fault. Queen Serenity was murdered, and Princess Serenity was placed in the care of two peasants, who didn't know her identity, until her sixteenth birthday, which then we could go and retrieve her. That girl, Princess Serenity, is you, my dear." The queen said, finishing her story.
Serena was speechless.
"But why did they place me in the care of my current 'parents'?"Asked Serena.
"Because, my child, they didn't want the Queen's sister finding you. So they sent you from the moon down here to Earth, to be cared for by you 'current parents' as you call them." The Queen said.
"I'm from the moon!?" Serena exclaimed.
"Yes, indeed you are. Your mother's sister took over the postition as queen of the moon." The Queen said.
"All this time I thought I was from Earth. But I've seen royalty from other planets in your palace, visiting with you." Serena said thoughtfully.
"This has been a lot for you to handle. Please allow one of my dear sons to escort you to your room." The Queen said with a smile.
Serena nodded.
"I'll do the honors, mother." Said Daichi before Endymion could speak up.
It was all Serena could do to keep from rolling her eyes. So now he's nice to her? Because she's a princess. Hmph.
Daichi took her arm and lead her out of the room. He then lead her up to her quarters.
As she turned to go in, he caught her arm.
"You look very beautiful, Princess Serenity. I look forward to getting to know you more." He said with a bone chilling smile.
She removed her arm from his grasp and bid him goodnight.
What nerve he had! She would show him! She didn't want to know him more. Besides, she was in love with Endymion. And with a feeling that all was right in the world, she went to bed and slept soundly.
