VI: Girls just wanna have Fun
Thirteen fairies were invited for the princess's birth celebration. Now, you may ask, why are there 13 fairies, when Madoushi died (see part V) and there were only 12 fairies mentioned in part IV? Madoushi, the poor scorned woman, did die, but her spirit lived on. So even though she was only a vengeful spirit, she was still capable of performing magic and was still considered a fairy. Since Clow was a forgive-and-forget kind of person, he invited her to his daughter's birth celebration. Conveniently for Madoushi, he and Yuuko couldn't see the future anymore. Excellent conditions for exacting revenge.
The much-awaited day was approaching. All over the kingdom of Holic, everyone was anxious and excited. Then, on April 1st, a child was born, not a girl but a boy.
Panic erupted in the palace. Some cursed Madoushi for the foresight impediment. What should they do?
Clow and Yuuko shared a deep, long look and then proceeded to burst out in laughter. Oh, what a twist of fate! Thankfully, Yuuko was just the kind of woman to subject her own child to what she had in store... The king and queen then swore their people into secrecy. No one, especially not the monarchs of the Hanshin kingdom, must know the little princess was actually a little prince.
And the reason they gave for doing all this?
All the arrangements for the celebration were set, the marriage contract couldn't be broken, the baby room was already decorated (in various shades of pink and cream), everyone was expecting a girl anyway, and they were too lazy to change everything now. Besides, it'll be interesting!
The servants shivered at Yuuko's laughter. They pitied the poor prince.
