Centuries before, a Princess was the daughter of the King who was given off like a prize to a Prince or Knight who defended the kingdom from a dragon or some other mystical creature. A Princess was a girl who was given like a prize without consent to marry some one in order to benefit the kingdom. And so for the love of her kingdom, she wordlessly accepted it as her duty. A Princess was always the damsel in distress. Why were they always in distress? Im pretty sure the King would have been much better bait. So why not just kidnap him?
A Princess was only a princess because her parents were king and Queen. If she were to marry some one lesser instead of some one of nobility, would she be any less of a Princess for having chosen to live the way she chose? This was some thing brown eyed princess by the name of Haruhi often pondered.
Haruhi could do without the luxuries, without the idiot princes and knights who showed up daily asking for her hand which she always refused. She wanted a simpler life, one in which she was free to do and wear what she pleased. A life where people weren't always bothering her with useless gossip. For these reasons and others, she decided to leave and see what life was like on the other side of the castle walls. Being a commoner for a day could be fun.
The Princess was amazed at the way that commoners could live with only the necessary and be happy with out the expensive luxuries she had been acustomed to. She was also amazed at how free they were. They had a market in the middle of their village where they would put up stands and sell things made by their own hands. The things varied from home-made clothing, to jewlery, to food, and many other odd trinkets. The houses were either made of wood or brick and big enough for the family not a huge thing made of stone with many rooms. Most of which served no purpose other than to provide home to spiders, rats, and dust bunnies. Many of the houses also had small gardens which they tended to themselves. It contained vegetables they grew themselves as well as flowers.
As Haruhi admired the flowers in one garden with a cheerful smile, she felt some one bump into her, then the two fell to the ground.
"I'm very sorry Miss," The man said as he helped her up. He was truly more handsome than any Prince she had ever seen come into the castle. He had beautiful locks of golden hair and violet eyes.
"That's alright," She responded as she dusted herself off.
The man looked stared at her in awe. He knew instantly she was not a girl from the village. This girl was much more refined and had beautiful large brown eyes the same color as her carefully cared for hair. The girl was beautiful indeed.
"If you should ever need any assistance, I work at the schoolhouse just down the road." He said.
"Well, thank you sir," Haruhi said in response. "I shall keep that in mind."
The man then bowed, handing her a rose which she gladly accepted. And with a smile, he was back on his way down the dusty road. Haruhi smelled the rose in her hand and then continued her tour of the village. In truth she enjoyed her day and could not fathom why she was not allowed to visit it. The village was a beautiful place and with kind people as well.
How could these people who lived with only the necessary and for themselves be lesser than one of noble blood? If anything, it was the ones who lived in pure luxury with the unecessary that were the lesser ones. They knew not how to make their own clothes, cook their own food, and hardly did any real work. She would gladly give up her title to live like the people of the villagers any day. Perhaps today?
This may have been slightly unorganized and not very understandable but i hope you enjoyed reading it all the same. There is now a voice in my head with a slightly british accent that doesn't seem to want to go away. Oh well. Thank you for reading.
