Previously, on Princess
"We were just wondering I Raven was in here." Beastboy said, Cyborg and Robin nodded in agreement.
"Friend Raven is not present, what would make you do the thinking that she is?" Starfire asked.
"We tracked her communicator signal here." Robin said, Starfire let them in to look for her communicator, only to find that it had been eaten by Silkie. "No wonder her signal was in here." Robin muttered as they left.
"Well then where is Raven?" Beastboy asked.
"I don't know, but we need to find out soon." Robin responded grimly.
Present
Raven followed the red haired servant around the winding steps, down the long corridors, and right up to the large gold incrusted oak doors. With a tap of her hand in the center of the doors, the door swung out of their way, revealing the largest room Raven had seen in her entire life. In the very center against the back wall, sat a man with a large crown, the king, Raven guessed. The servant prodded her towards him, then left and shut the large doors.
"What is your name, maiden?" The King asked. His voice was loud and deep, and it vibrated the entire room.
"Raven." Her response was loud and clear, not a single trace of fear in it.
"Well, Raven, do you know why you were brought here?" He asked.
"No." She responded.
"You were brought here to be a gift. My son is turning eighteen tomorrow and I'm giving him a wife for his birthday."
"I'm guessing I'm that wife?" She asked sarcastically.
"I do not like your tone." He said, slightly angry.
"So?" She asked.
"I could have you hanged for such an attitude." He said.
"May I go now?" She asked, rolling her eyes.
"Just one more question." She sighed, but didn't argue. "Why are you so informal with me? You speak to me as if we are of the same class."
"Well, you are not my king, so I don't believe I have to obey you." She turned on her heel, walking to the door with grace, then stopped and turned around as she opened it. "I am in your class, maybe higher." With that she turned back around and left.
The Titans were searching all over the city, high and low, on buildings and in sewers, for Raven. Robin pulled out his communicator.
"Titans, report." He said.
"No sign of her." Cyborg said.
"I can't get a scent." Beastboy said.
"I have had no sightings of friend Raven." Starfire said.
"We've got to keep looking." Robin said. "Something happened to her, I don't believe she would just leave. Robin, out."
The Titans continued their search, expanding to places outside the city. They even asked the other Titans to search around the world. After hours of searching, they had had absolutely no luck, and no leads.
"What will happen if we don't find friend Raven?" Starfire asked.
"I don't know Star, but I think we're gonna need a temporary replacement." Robin said.

"Miss Raven," the servant girl said as she walked in that morning, "His Majesty has sent up a dress for you to wear when you are presented to his son." She said. She pulled a long, puffy, flowing pink dress ( . ) from the hallway and held it out to Raven.
"Take it back. Tell him I won't wear anything pink." Raven said, sitting down on the bed and crossing her ankles.
"B-but his Majesty said–"
"Take. It. Back." Raven said, cutting her off completely. The girl left with her head down, but came back with a short blue and black dress (A/N: . ) she held it out to Raven timidly, hoping she would take it. Raven eyed the dress for a while, before grabbing it from her hands. The servant sighed in relief, then left Raven to change in peace.
Raven walked out into the hallway, down the steps, and right to the throne room. What she saw was the king, with; who Raven guessed was the prince, sitting on another throne blindfolded. The king motioned for her to stand right in front of the prince, which she did.
"Alright son, you may remove your blindfold." The king said. The Prince happily complied, his hands fumbling as he tried to take it off as fast as he could. He eventually got it off, and the first thing he saw was Raven standing there emotionless as always, and he already liked her.
"Father," the prince started, his voice was velvety soft and smooth, with a husky undercurrent to it. "Who is she?" He asked, staring at Raven with wonder, curiosity, and awe, as if she was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen.
"She is your birthday present. Her name is Raven and I have brought her from a far away land just to be your wife." The king responded. The prince then did something very unexpected, he jumped up from the throne and caught Raven in a tight hug that rivaled Starfire's.
"She's perfect." He breathed. Raven blushed and stuttered thanks.
"Very well then, you shall be married by tomorrow." The king declared. "Charlene!" He cried, a nurse with long blonde hair rushed in. "Prepare the castle for a wedding tonight. A large one for the Prince and his bride to be."
"Prince Skylar is to be married? What wonderful news!" Charlene said. She then rushed out of the room, mumbling excitedly about wedding plans.
"I shall send a letter to your home informing your friends and family of what has become of you." The king said.
"Oh my, Azar!" Raven exclaimed. "The Titans have probably searched the whole planet looking for me! Please, can I write the letter?" She asked.
"Of course darling." The Prince said, kissing her hand gently. "Just call Rosetta when you're done, she'll send it back where you came from."

"Friends! I have received the news of friend Raven's location!" Starfire said as she rushed into the common room.
"Where is she?" Robin said as he ran up to her.
"Please read the letter in which we have received." She said. She held it out to Robin, who read it out loud.
"Dear Titans,
I'm very sorry about this, but I can't come back. Not because I don't want to, but because I can't. I was kidnapped to be a birthday present for Prince Skylar. But not on Earth, I was taken to another dimension completely. I don't know which one, but they told me why. I'm the fiancé of Prince Skylar, against my will of course, and we're getting married tonight. I can't come back because my powers don't work in this freakish castle. I wish you guys could help, but I don't see how that's possible. You need to replace me. Find someone new or have Jinx take my place.
I hope I see you again,
Raven."
"She's been kidnapped." Beastboy said after a few moments of silence. Every Titans eyes were filled with tears, but a certain green changeling's head was formulating a plan.
