Sanzorella
Chapter 2
Sanzorella was still reeling from the shock that her stepmother, Lady Gojyo, had shot out such a dangerous weapon. "Are you trying to kill me?" Sanzorella shrieked in anger.
Lady Gojyo raised an eyebrow. "Nani? Did you just shriek at me?"
Realizing her mistake, Sanzorella immediately bowed her head. "My apologies, stepmother Gojyo. I didn't mean to!" Ch...I wish I could stick that thing up your ***!
"Whatever. Anyway, who was that at the door?"
You would love to know, don't you? Out loud Sanzorella said, "It was a man from the palace. The King and Queen are organizing a Bride-Searching ball dance for their son and they are inviting every woman in the kingdom."
"Ah…a ball? And to search for the young prince's bride? Hmm….I think the prince is in his twenties, too, right? Maa…maa…what a chance for me!" Lady Gojyo had a faraway look in her eyes.
Chh…baka ona! I hope the prince has at least the common sense to see this woman beyond her beauty!
Suddenly, Lady Gojyo fixed Sanzorella with a dead stare. "Are you thinking of going, you stinking girl?"
Chh…like I care! Who wants to dance the night away with a stupid prince? I have better things to do, like find a gun to shoot you with! "No, of course not. The thought never crossed my mind!" With that, Sanzorella walked away, leaving her stepmother gaping after her.
As the day to the ball drew near, Sanzorella was busy helping Lady Gojyo with her new gown, new shoes and new makeup. Sanzorella could barely manage to keep her frustration at her bay. She would rather do the housework than shopped and getting ready for an event. But Lady Gojyo insisted on her active participation. Sanzorella knew Lady Gojyo was just rubbing it in.
The day finally came and Lady Gojyo, with Sanzorella's help, was ready. Her crimson hair was pulled up in an elegant chignon and a beautiful silk maroon gown hugged her figure. On her feet was a pair of matching maroon velvet pumps. She was really stunning. After spraying herself generously with a Chanel 5 perfume, Lady Gojyo was rearing to go.
"Take good care of the house, Sanzorella! I will be late so don't stay up! Chow!" She gave Sanzorella a smirk before disappearing into her rented carriage.
Ah, peace at last! Good riddance, you stupid witch! Sanzorella went straight to the living room and nestled comfortably into the thick sofa. She closed her eyes and began to relax.
"Are…are you alright, blondie?"
Sanzorella opened her eyes, a vein popping up at the temple. "Who is that?" Irritating! Just when I'm trying to relax!
Above her head, Sanzorella saw a glow of golden light. It moved closer and closer. "Are you alright, blondie? Do you need anything?"
Sanzorella was quite startled but managed to keep her composure. "I do not need anything. Who are you?"
"I'm your fairy godmother. I can grant you wishes. Tell me what you want," the glow answered.
Oh, great! A fairy godmother! Like I need one! This is not a fairy tale, for goodness sake! "No, thank you. Will you please leave me alone?"
The glow refused to give up. "Are you sure you don't need anything? I can give you meat bun, curry bun, pizza bun, butter bun, cheese bun, chocolate bun…."
Another vein popped up at Sanzorella's temple. "Oi, what kind of fairy godmother are you? What is this with buns?"
The glow descended in front of Sanzorella and slowly began to dim, revealing a young girl slightly shorter than her. Sanzorella watched with disinterest as the brown haired fairy godmother opened her large, golden eyes and a wide smile began to appear on her cheeky face. On her head was a golden diadem and in her right hand was a red staff with golden knobs at its ends. Is that her magic wand?
"Hello, Sanzorella. I'm your fairy godmother, Ai Goku. You can just call me Goku!"
