Princess Doraemoon was sulking, pacing in her room. Sighting she sat in front of her dressing table, arranging her long wavy dark locks so they hide the plunging neckline of her dress.
"Why do I keep letting her drag me in those insane schemes?"
She let out another sigh in defeat, even if her hair were reaching her feet there was simply no way they could hide the very plunging neckline of her dress. The dress in question was a deep purple shade almost skin painted, the neckline was plunging to her navel and a large cut was made in the skirt from the bottom to her mid-tight. She absolutely hated it.
"Why does she insist to make me wear those, I have the wardrobe of a courtesan" she frowned bright red eyes roaming the dress with distaste.
"Sister dear are you ready?" princess Sillia entered the room her long sun-kissed hair in a simple bread resting on her shoulder, clad in a modest light blue dress. Apart from their face and skin tone the two sisters were as day and night.
"Yes I have already sent our luggage to the castle… Sillia …would you consider maybe …letting me dress how I want …"she asked shyly
"Why? Are you unhappy? Haven't I be nice with you considering what you have done? Are you so selfish that you would thwart my plan to reach happiness when you were the one robbing it from me in the first place?" She raged her unseeing blue eyes filled with anger.
"N-no of course not, I'm sorry I didn't think that my attire was important in your plan, I'll do as you say" Doraemoon said panic in her voice 'how long will I have to suffer for this one mistake'
"Good then to the castle"

Sarah was alone in her room brushing her hair and thinking of the incoming Valentine's Day, dreading to see Jenny. Her friend using any pretense to lure her into calling the goblin king. Today was Saturday and she cleverly evaded any invitation she had from her friend, she was planning to spend some time with Toby, maybe bake something and call her friends from the labyrinth.
"SARAH YOU HAVE MAILL" the voice of her stepmother was ringing through the house. She made her way downstairs to find a nice white envelope which looked kind of expensive, for an envelope that is.
There was no address not even her own just her name written in a beautiful hand and a wax seal emblazoned with a cloud and an hourglass. Once back in her room she carefully removed the wax seal. The letter was written in a beautiful and flowing handwriting.
Dear maiden,
By a twist of fate I fell for your charms and, for this simple fact, your image haunts me night and day. I yearn for the day I will finally be able to gaze into your beautiful eyes but fate forbid me to do so for the next two months.
I am sending you this message hoping that my words can find their way to your heart, warming it for me to prove how well I can care for it. I am just asking for a chance nothing more, until then you shall receive news from me each week until we met.
I'll watch for you in my dreams,
Orpheus
Sarah's heart was about to burst "that... that's the sweetest thing I ever… wow" she clutched the letter to her heart falling backward on her bed smiling "Orpheus…" she closed her eyes mind racing to find who the author may be, in vain.
'Finally 'she thought relieved. Since she was 14 years old Sarah was unable to care for boys (or leather clad goblin king) for she had created her own prince charming. She didn't know why, but she assumed it may have something to do with her parents divorce, a need to settle for perfection only, so she wouldn't be disappointed. She started to have dreams of her perfect man and no one was able to compare since then. Only her dreams were able to make her heart skip a beat, which is why she had been so close to lose in that crystal ballroom, so close, even without her memories she was able to grasp the rarity of those feeling for the handsome figure in front of her and had clung to it until the clock reminded her of her duty.
She never told anyone, knowing how childish she may sound admitting that she was in love with a figment of her imagination, A part of herself! That sounded pretty vain even for her. But this letter, finally she was able to feel something for someone real.
"Well, he definitely deserves a chance for trying".
Unseen to her a barn owl took off from his post from which he was watching her.
He flew above the city, then the landscape blurred turning streets and house into a gigantic labyrinth. He was about to dive through a castle window when a loud screech was heard and an enormous bird stroke him on his back making him tumble through the windows. He turned to his fae form to find himself sprawled on his back glaring at barn owl turning into a laughing goblin king.
"This ceased to be funny centuries ago brother" Orpheus said coldly
"Don't be such a sour puss, tell me how did it go?"
"Fine, she wants to give me a chance, I can't wait to see her"
"She still needs to know more of you" Jareth pointed in a sing song voice.
"Oh come on, you know the spell will erase any information that might help identify me how do you suggest I do that"
"Continue with the letters try giving her glimpse of you without reveling yourself, I'll help you I, know you can't align three word properly" the goblin king was grinning even wider.
"How nice, at least I don't send lusty dreams to teenage girls, was that a masquerade or the beginning to an orgy"
"It could be both, it depends on the willingness of the lady"
"Charming"
