Tails are often unbelievable. But the truth can often be stranger then fiction and even adult wishes get granted, and in the kingdom of for strange things have been knowing to happen tonight, he was heading to princes pea room she had a new story to tell him from a book and thing couldn't be better but alas. The thing was never a more awkward feeling of both the princess and Despereaux we're growing into more than just friends, but they both held their peace and just enjoyed each other company. But the empty feeling wouldn't go away. He squeezed into the door of the peas room. She sits there in the light of the moon looking as lovely as ever she was he "hello there Despereaux it is good to see you today " she said with her sweet voice. "its good to see you to princess do you mind me sitting in your lap like always when you read " he asks" no I could never mind have you in my lap" she reaches down lets him climb up into her palm and the sit by the window. Resting him in her lap she pulls the book onto her lap with them and she begins to read. He enjoyed listening to her voice as she read the story of a brave night marrying his prince. And living happily ever after by the time they finish with the book the stars are out in the sky. She sets down the book and they look into the sky a falling star Spears "lets both make a wish " princess pea says. And he nods. He wished he could love princess pea more like a human loves another human being big enough to show his love to her
And in know to him, the princess was wishing pretty much the same thing though all be it differently she wished he was a big knight big enough to be hers in all the ways she wished to be able to hug and kiss like true loves on equal footing but she did love his size, so her wish was a small night. Just big enough to hug and kiss and fill the empty ness that was between them. "well my wish…" princess pea said. "no don't say it might come true" Despereaux said she nods they both yawn "its time for me to leave my princess ill see you later" he says she looks at him "please sleep with me tonight" she said being forward with him. He coughs.
"but princess that would be improper," he says "please I don't want to sleep alone today, and father won't do." He nods "if it is your request my lady I will not turn you down" he says. She smiles and he even more in love with her. Then before she had already changed into a Nightgown so he snuggles in beside her as she laid on the bed and they went to bed he had strange dreams of being carried by the princess all over the place. He didn't remember the rest of his dream but he sure it was nice because he woke up in the morning and he was staring into the lovely princess face but what was odd was that her hand was on his furry chest yes he was now the size of a small human male, the princes open her eyes and looked at him "oh I must still be dreaming you quit my size" she says snuggling agents his chest "I'm afraid I must be sharing your dream my lady" he says she opens her eyes again and she throws off the blankets off. He blushes and covers himself with his clothes we're ripped off himself.
He pulls the blanket over him before she gets much of a look at him "please princess get me some clothes " she smiles and gets one of her dress it's fare to big for him but it fits. He blushes. The current comes in and starts screaming at the top of there lounge "be quiet !" princess pea order the servant shuts her mouth "but that's a ain't mouse" she says princes pea nod "I'm sure you remember what
Despereaux looks like. I'm sure you recognize him now" she says. The servant looks at him oddly but nods "I do see it and he is missing his tail, but princess why is he in your dress." The servant asks.
"a good question my lady but you see my old clothes we're too small for this body and I outgrew them and the princess was kind enough to share one of her dress so I wouldn't be naked in the presence of royalty which is highly improper." He says she nods "what should I tell the king then not that
You woke up naked in her room surely not ." she says he sigh
"sadly I refuse to lie to the king might as well tell him my self and apologize for it was out of my control," he says
"oh dear I would want to be you this morning," she said "so we should tell the king but we should get you better dressed though if you're going to be my personal knight you going to have to look the part," the princess says he looks himself over and gets out of bed she stands next to him and he's a g
Do foot shorter than her. "you to short for any of the armor we have on hand but I do believe the tread master has a son your size perhaps he will have something for you to were" the princess says
"well that may be so but it's not the place of a princess to get those things for him I will help him if you get dressed your self today. The princess nods "make sure he looks good for my father the king. He follows the servant out of the room following, her to the thread master room she knocked on the door the tread master answer "how may I help…." He says looking them over "Despereaux is that you" he asks despite bows "we don't know why but now I'm this big, Unfortunately, I don't have any clothes in this size I was told by the princess that you had a young son my size, I was wonder perhaps he could give me something to ware if you would be so kind" he says bowing.
"I can see that your warning the princess nightgown so the need must be great to come to me I happen to have the clothes with me they needed prepare I say and it fell to me to do it, so yes I have some clothes for you to ware come on in," he says the servant leaves him as he goes into the thread-master room the tread master pulls out some clothes that look good but still a little tread barren a few stitches in couple places but still looked nice he puts it on it fits like a glove.
"do you think your son would mind if kept this," he asks the thread master shake his head. "he always saying he has a way too may clothes so no I don't think he minds if you keep that Set of clothes. He nods "tell him he has my thanks if you would I have to talk to the king." he says the thread master nods and he goes to the king there at the dining table with his daughter princess pea. "when princess pea told me you had grown I thought it would be smaller but when she told me you ripped your clutch I didn't see a problem with that, now I do," the king says sternly. The princess nod "please don't blame him it wasn't his fault he grew." The princess says. "and how's fault is it than " they look a bit unsure.
"What happened last night," he asks" well the princess was reading one of her stories and
Ou know how she likes my company when she reads, well I was there and we saw a falling star and I'm sure we both made a wish." He says the king nods "yah so what I make wishes on falling stars all the time they haven't come true" he says "well I'm just guessing father perhaps me and Despereaux had the same wish and with two voices behind it perhaps it came true it was trouble both our hearts true desires iv read the story we're that kind of wish comes true." The princess says.
The king nods "my wishes have always been for silly things perhaps they don't come true unless you really need it can I ask what your wish was" they both blush "id rather not say" they both say at once. The king drugs "it was trouble for him to be bigger seeing as he now the size of a human boy " he says they both blush "all the same the wish was personal I wouldn't want to tell you please don't make it a royal order" Despereaux says the king nods.
"seeing as I don't want to tell my wishes, I can see how you would want to keep them to your self," he says they sigh and nod "thanks to Your Majesty," he said bowing, now what else do you have to say I have a feeling there's more to his then meets the eye," he says princess pea nods "I want to make him my personal knight meaning he only answers to my commands," she says he bows "I would ever be so lucky to be called the princess personal knight," he says the king looks at the odd but surges "vary well will make an announce meant this evening " he smiles does the princess. And they settle down to eat "you would do well to get your self armed for the duty," the king says he nods "true I might have to defend the princess at a moment notice," he said the king nods "in the castle you can be laxer in your duty but when the princess is out and about, I expect you to be on your best and act as a knight should.
He nods and eats "it has always been my dream to be a knight I shall do my best to live up to it" the princess coach "as being my night I do not want him far from me I will have him sleep in my room," the princes say the king frowns "but princess what will the people think " she looks at him, to be honest father, I'm tired of sleeping alone and no sleeping with you will not give me the same feeling as when I slept with Despereaux the first time I don't want to lose that feeling one bit just because he's bigger now" the king nods.
"I can see you want this a great deal but one should only bed down with there lover," he says they both flush" well we been together for more than enough time and I know he loves me and I love him so why not have him be my lover as fare as it goes story-wise I see no problem," she says he cough "but princes one of my statuses shouldn't be your lover," he says blushing "are you saying you don't love me," she asked concerned he shakes his head "no my lady I love you now and always" she nods "then there's nothing wrong with me taking him as my lover," she says.
"but the people with think he has influence over the kingdom and how it rules" the king says she laughed at that "the people already think that am I right Emily" she says asking one of the servants she jumps at have her name spoken by the princes."I wouldn't dream of telling you what to do with your rule" she says bowing " was not asking you to sear just tell us what the people outside think" the king says with authority.
The servant sighs "I'm sorry to tell you this my highness but the people already say he has influence over your rule giving you the example that you once outlawed soup now because of a mouse and his braveness he got you to change your mind" she says the king doesn't look happy "well he still not of sufficient status, this isn't one of your story my dead this is the real world what will the people say" she smiled
"fine if your so worried about the people let's leave this up to them if they don't want me taking him as a lover then I won't" the king nods smiles he doesn't expect the people to give her leave and the princes probably though her people would want her to bed a mouse he himself was a bit worry either way he was going to lose out somewhere perhaps he wins out in the end. "we should give the people time to thinks this over your highness " he offers the king looks at him. "why are you not saying that the people should be concerned I think it would be better for you in the end, and quiet nightly to recommend it to because the crowns word is law" the king say he nods
"but if not for the people it could not be upheld we must be seen as viewing their word to my Lord and lady," he says they nod "I was kind of hoping you would say the latter," the princes say he sighs "I do care what the people have to say, my lady, I want them to be able to have a say for this conference them to "well how should we go about doing this," the king says. "we should not know what
A person makes which choice so Heather of you can punish the one that says yes or no" he offers "and how should we go about that?" he asks" what about putting paper in a box we can't see into. And set it outside people can put there say in there and let's get this one thing out of the way just so you can't say nay one voice saying no doesn't count the nos have to outnumber the yes for this to count and if a person doesn't put a paper in the box they Don't want to have a say how I can and can't have as a lover" one of the servant cough "yes what is it "are you going to take a husband to my lady, I'm not sure how this is going to work" the king laughs "well that's up to her she can take a husband if she wants I leave that up to her loved to have a say in" the king says. He was a bit of a lose so was the princess she didn't expect this to pop up. "princes before you answer that you must think it over very carefully I have no qualms about you taking a husband so long as I always have you love" he says bravely she looks at him and smile "I will think that over with the greatest of care now should we tell the people that I will also be looking for a has and if I so chose." She says he nods
"it does concern your people my lady they should now if you intend to also marry your station. Why not ask your people if they would like that as well" Despereaux offers. She nods "vary well I will ask them that too, but I will hold my own choice when it comes to that. " she says he nods they finish eating and the gather at the Verda we're everyone can hear and they gather their people it takes most the day up but not a soul is not present because it was said that the princess would also make an announce meant.
"My people we are all gathered for me call to my people to make a choice for I am Torn as a father I want my daughter to always to be happy but as a father, she chose seams a bit odd and when I tell you of the princess chooses you to will see how odd it is today she had announced that she make this here mouse Despereaux. Though yes he is rather large for a mouse because of a wish of both the princess and the mouse he is now to be her own personal night that can't be changed by the people, no what can be changed is her second chose she wishes to take this mouse into her bed when I said that was only for lovers she wants him to be her lover and this is yours chose my people to let her have this mouse though brave and honest and courageous he is still a mouse at hart though he is now night. This chose I give you there will be a box and you each will be given a chose to let him be her lover or for him to not he has made knight vows to uphold you chose no matter how he deals and so has the princess she is also oath-bound to your chose and if you chose, she is also thinking of taking a husband of her station or just below that part is holy her chose and she merry wishes to hear what you have to say before she makes her chose." he steps aside.
The princes come forward to a roaring crowd she raises her hand Despereaux is at her side sword in at his side ready to leap to her defense, the princes raise her arms calling the word to be quiet the crowd grow hush "now my people please don't judge him because he is a mouse, please all you need to know is that I love him with all my heart and wish to always be with him both body and soul but if you chose, I will hold firm of my feelings because I also want my people to be happy, this is why I'm giving you the chose and why father is also seeking your say, remember before you chose if this was you wouldn't you want everyone to say yes for you. " she says. "let the mouse speak" they chant she nods
"people of for please now that I take my with you in mind, I know that I am no matter how big just a mouse, and I have no right to ask for the honor of being the prince's lover, but remember by my honor I will hold firm to your chose but please chose to support me with the princess for I love her and her people and will honor her chose by my honor am bond to uphold you chose no matter how much it will hurt me and the princess," he says this sets them aloud "now the box will be out in the open and paper with a pencil will be supplied no one is to know you choose and not even me and the king can tell what you the paper so think it over now we call this to an end." They leave the people to make there chooses. They eat lunch at the table even the staff of the castle was participating in the vote. Despereaux and the princes pretend there was nothing wrong.
They spend the day going over court documents how much to spend on the kingdom. He was by the prince's side he didn't speak to her endless she spoke. They spent the rest of th e day doing just that and when dinner rolled around they ate and retire to the princess room, he read a story sitting in her lap he was still able tO do just that , they keep the door open and one of the servants join them for story time. After the story he hoped off her lap but she grabbed him into a hug turning him around and kissing him it puts a shock through his system but he return the kiss but he finds his hands wondering to her breast and as he plays with her breast the servant coughs they blush and break apart.
"I bag our pardon princes I lost my senses for a moment" he said ."no head to be sorry I wanted you to do just that, will you please sleep here with me" she ask he shacks his head ,
"no my lady I must beg your forgiveness now that I'm big I will find it hard to control my self if I were to sleep with you so I must leave you alone for now" he says bowing and leaving her to sleep alone the servant shuts the door and leaves, he heads to the castle bricks and sleeps there.
