sorry for the delay everyone. You see, I almost finished this chapter last week, but my laptop died before I could save it. So, like that, I lost half of it. Go blame the laptop!
Anyway, i hope you enjoy this chapter, and Queen Rosalie is a character I came up with.
DISCLAIMER: SAILOR MOON BELONGS TO NAOKO TAKEUCHI
Chapter 4
The clock kept ticking, and the servants in the palace rushed to their jobs. But the princess stayed where she was, because she was grounded.
"It's not fair..." She shouted at her toy rabbit. "It's not fair, Not Fair, NOT FAIR, NOT FAIR!" Tears rolled down her cheeks, and they wouldn't stop. "All I did was visit earth... No one realized who I was!" She cried.
A few hours ago...
"Your highness, do you know how worried you made us?" Sailor Jupiter was the first to speak, for sailor mars and sailor Venus were just blowing steam of anger and frustration out of their ears with the most livid looks on their faces that she has ever seen, and sailor mercury was just giving her a disappointed look. But before Serenity managed to reply, Venus cut in.
"How reckless! I nearly had a heart attack! And that's not good for the goddess of love!" The joke failed on the princess, she felt so guilty, and all she could do was look down and hope she doesn't start crying.
"You made us all so worried, please don't so this again." Mercury told her kindly, with a smile.
"Thank you mercury, don't worry, I-" but before she finished her sentence, Mars finally exploded, and Serenity heard words thrown at her that a princess should never hear.
"That's enough ladies," all heads turned to see the queen approaching. "I shall now hand out Princess Serenity's punishment. She shall be confined to her rooms for a week, and is not allowed to leave without at least one of you watching her. Are we clear?"
The senshi all decided it was reasonable enough and the most rational way to deal with it. But the princess clearly didn't agree.
"Bu- But mother!"
"No arguments, I am the queen after all." With that, Queen Serenity left them there.
"Let's go," Mercury told the her kindly. She felt so numb with shock, and all she could do was nod.
A knock at the door snapped the princess from her anger.
"Serenity, come here" the princess reluctantly opened the doors, and found her mother standing there.
"Just to remind you, you are still required to attend that banquet next week, so you better start writing your speech," and then she left.
Princess Serenity couldn't believe it, after all that; her mother came to tell her to prepare for a banquet?
" Might as well do something useful." She muttered to herself, and started making ideas for her speech…
The next week
Everyone clapped as the princess concluded her speech, and the queen watched her daughter with pride as she conversed with the guests of honour.
Princess Serenity couldn't believe her luck, after all her agony over Earth, the banquet which she had been dreading, was actually in honour for the king and queen of Earth! She was really quite surprised when she was told that night, which made the senshi realise that she never payed any attention to them during all those lessons preparing her for the banquet.
After all that time, they've come to me instead! She thought happily to herself as she chatted with Queen Rosalie, who was very kind.
Every head turned as they heard the trumpets, and a hush fell upon them as Queen Serenity addressed them all. "Ladies and Gentleman, I thank you all for coming this evening in honour of the King and Queen of Earth! Now, enjoy yourselves tonight with dances, food, and drinks!"
After a few more dances, the king of Earth requested everyone to accompany him to the grand balcony, where they planned a nice surprise for everyone.
The princess was very excited, and then she saw that it was a painting, and when they unveiled the painting. A gasp erupted within the audience. It's him! She thought...
I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I will try to upload the next chapter when I can, and don't worry. Serenity and Endymion will meet soon...
