1998 August 27th

How stupid…

A sound of broken furniture is coming from a brunette 14 year old girl who is in a ragged dress that appears to be from tennis, and the chest jewel is cracked as the girl is leaning on a damaged table.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to blackmail me like this!? Are you trying to damage our reputation as the royal family of Sarasaland!?" A man yelled while pulling the girl up by the collar.

"D-... Dad… Please stop…" Grunting, a girl tries to free herself from the grasp of this man who is the emperor of that country.

"And stop crying! What are you, five!?"

The girl who was being tossed down and went to her knees is Princess Daisy Flora, the eldest daughter of the emperor.

How ironic when you yourself are trying to damage our reputation.

Stupid old man…

What did she do to make him like this?

Why did he throw hands on his own daughter?

"Daisy!" Arriving at a hasty pace, is a 9 year old girl in similar coloured clothing as her sister, who is trying to lift the 14 year old, Daisy, off the floor "Daisy! Please! Stop it, dad!"

"Silence, Azalea! If you hadn't been born, then your mother wouldn't have died!" The emperor screamed.

"But-..." Before Azalea, the 9 year old little sister, explains, she was quickly cut off by her own father.

"Shut up! It's all your fault!"

"It's not Azalea's fault! It's out of her and mom's control! The fault lies within yours…" Daisy is out of energy as she's still keeping her head lower to the floor.

This leads to Daisy getting her hair dragged and then being forced to be put in the kitchen and being pushed down towards the sink as the water is left untouched by those who worked there.

Coughing after being drowned by her own father, Daisy is then tossed to a different table as the tools and cutlery are collapsing on the floor.

Stupid humans…

"Are you saying it's my fault!? Tell me! Why is it my fault!?" The emperor booms as Daisy is unable to look up.

Daisy tries to push herself up with the table as she's struggling to look in the eyes of a mad man that is dressing up as her father.

"Azalea! When we're done! I'm going to make sure you feel the same way as you did with your mother! When you grow up, you'll be given birth to our next heir of the empire and you will feel nothing but pain!"

This had Daisy gasping after hearing what the emperor said.

He may hurt her and push her, even killing her at that point as well as covering himself to look like a good emperor, but harming her younger sister is where Daisy crosses the line, leading her to clench her teeth and look at the cutlery.

He is NOT her father.

"Come here you! Once the suitors show up, I'll have you impregnated and you will suffer a similar fate as your mother!" The emperor growls as he clenches his fist onto Azalea's wrist, causing her to shriek as well as trying to fight back.

"Let her go…" Daisy's tone suddenly changes from soft to very sharp, preparing to pick up the kitchen knife.

"Huh?" The emperor turns his head, only to come across Daisy's glare that is both menacing and frightening at the same time as if she's not Daisy.

"I said LET HER GO!" Daisy snaps while quickly swiping her knife out of pure rage.

What Daisy did was slitting her father's wrist, leading him to let Azalea go and scream while holding his wrist that is leaking red body fluids.

"I wasn't expecting you to change after our mother's passing. But knowing what you'll do to my sister, I'll never let you hurt Azalea!" Daisy yells as she stands and then sits on top of her father's stomach.

"W- Wait! Daisy, please!"

"SHUT UP! I had enough of your abuse towards us! I hope you go to hell!" Daisy raises her knife while the emperor begs.

Then Daisy pushes her knife up and down repeatedly while screaming, only to create multiple stab wounds on her father's chest and was being pushed off as Daisy's father cries out, writhing in agonising pain while he crawls towards Azalea.

"A- Azalea! I'm sorry! Please! I'm sorry!"

"Dad…" Azalea gasps, then looks at Daisy carrying a butcher's cleaver.

"Azalea. Cover your eyes." Daisy orders as Azalea did as Daisy tells her to do.

The sound of a blade cuts some meat along with a man screaming in agony, calling for Daisy to stop until his call is no longer available.

Afterwards, it's over…

As Azalea opens her eyes, she has come across a disfigured man that is lying before Daisy, who was stained in human blood on her cleaver, feet to legs to her dress to her arms and to her face. Daisy is panting after what she did to strike back against the one who raised her for many years.

"Oh no… What have I done?" Daisy gasps as horror struck into her mind, heart and eyes, witnessing the one she murdered. "I- I killed him… What have I done!?"

"Daisy…" Azalea felt the same after first witnessing a body count that is very gruesome.

Even Daisy's heart is pounding and then sinks with shock and fear crawling all over the Sarasaland princesses.

Then Daisy clenches her lips and then turns towards Azalea with her eyes beginning to become lifeless out of fear.

"We need to hide the body. If anyone finds out, then it's the court martial for the two of us."

"B- But why?" Azalea gasped with shock.

"No time to explain, get the body bag now!" Daisy hastily orders out of desperation.

"Y- Yeah!" Azalea rushes to different drawers and cupboards while searching for the right bags to cover the body as Daisy is prepared to clean up the kitchen.

Good thing Daisy has the cleaver with her in order to dismember the body in order to fit in less bags.

This afternoon is a nightmare and it's not what Daisy has wanted.

Stupid world…


Unknown

Later outside of the palace far far away, carrying body bags, Daisy and Azalea are prepared to dig deeper and place the bags of a dismembered corpse.

With Azalea placing the bags into the hole, Daisy climbs up and sits down while watching the bags become a part of soil, leading both princesses of Sarasaland to pant and watch their father become a part of the earth.

That is until a lamp light has caught both princesses, causing both Daisy and Azalea to gasp in shock.

"What the heck!? Princess Daisy? Princess Azalea? What are you two doing here!?" A man in a ragged cloak asked after witnessing Daisy and Azalea carrying shovels.

A man appears to be Egyptian, considering the hooded cloak as well as thick trousers that look Arabic. He's with a couple of masked creatures that are holding spears as they're called shy guys.

To the trio's shock, they witnessed Daisy stained in blood as she murdered someone earlier.

"Princess Daisy…"

Azalea shrieks while hiding behind Daisy, giving Daisy the chance to approach the guards and raise her arms.

"Yes. I killed someone. Just take me away. Please spare my sister." Daisy is willing to turn herself in, guilty for all the things she did.

"Ngh… Alright. But you'll have to tell the judge about everything you did."

"Daisy!" Azalea exclaimed.

"Relax, little sis, I know what I must do. We'll see each other again." Daisy shows a warm smile towards her sister while being dragged by the man and poked by the shy guys by the backside. "Ow!"

"Let's go." Said the man.

In the end, Azalea is now left alone after watching her older sister being taken away as she knew what she did, making Azalea weep for Daisy.

Stupid me…

After being taken away, Daisy was able to twist the story about her killing moment, portraying herself as a defender for her sister from those bandits that attacked the palace after the emperor vanished.

This resulted in Sarasaland judges believing her as she's the emperor's daughter which is a lucky escape for her.

Finally, she reunited with Azalea, vowing to be stronger as the ruler of Sarasaland in order to make new laws and discover new worlds.

Princess Daisy is now Sarasaland's current ruler and the youngest one at that.


Present

2005 September 18th

Sarasaland

The field is breezy as the wind blows, making the field lively.

Since Daisy is 21 years old, she knows how stressful it is to lead the empire and she's glad to do this as well.

"Hey, dad. Did you miss me?" Daisy calmly said while watching a patch of soil with rocks in front of it, marking it as where Daisy buried her father's corpse.

She couldn't forget the blood on her hands after what happened to her 7 years ago.

"Yeah… I still regret what I did to you." Daisy's tone is solemn as she closes her eyes and then quickly opens. "Oh! I heard Mushroom Kingdom has taken the Kongs as their allies! Isn't it great!?"

If her father's around, then he would've said yes, glad that Daisy had a friend that is a kind and caring ruler.

"Azalea's been apologising to you for over seven years, now's the time to forgive her. Oh what should I know, you're already dead anyway." Daisy sighs as she frowns, turning away while trying to stay positive.

No matter how good she does, she still couldn't atone her sins everyday, giving Daisy a problematic situation that's been all over her for years.

She can't let that get to her head as she's walking and pulls out a phone that is from the Kongs, giving her the chance to ring the phone.

"Cranky Kong. The outsiders, bring them over." Daisy, called Cranky Kong, who is speaking through the phone, making Daisy smirk with something sinister in mind. "Oh, I have a job for them. A very important one. Thanks. See ya."

After hanging up on the phone, she can see why her hair doesn't have as much movement as her past self.

The younger Daisy has longer hair and was more of the get going type of girl, now she's shorter hair down the shoulders and was more tomboyish than ever, giving Daisy the freedom to act as herself.

Then she stops as she sees a 16 year old, Azalea, her younger sister in a similar dress as Daisy.

"So, you're talking to dad again."

"Yeah. Also, I have something for the outsiders to do." Daisy answered.

"Wait, really? You mean…"

"Mario and Luigi. Those Cranky mentioned are the outsiders we needed. They have something I need." Daisy smiles while raising both her arms, expressing her truth to her sister.

In Daisy's mind, what if Mario and Luigi are similar to her and Azalea in a way an older sibling shoulders a burden for their younger sibling in order to not let the younger one down.

Placing her arms on Azalea's shoulders, Daisy is giving her sister some courage, knowing that Azalea is doing her best in golf after her running track experience as an athlete.

"I'll cheer you on for next year. Why? Because I'm always there for you, sister. And as a big sister, I'll stay by your side! You can believe in your big sister!" Daisy laughed.

"Yeah. Thanks, Daisy. I'll also cheer for you at next year's tennis match!" Azalea is now confident thanks to Daisy.

Daisy grinned, showing her shark like teeth, only to cheer her sister up.

As Azalea leaves Daisy with a positive smile, Daisy waves back and then frowns as she looks at the burial ground one more time.

"If only mom's still alive…" Then Daisy and Azalea would have an even happier family.

Fortunately, what Mario and Luigi associated with was her closest friend that is from another country, giving her the chance to visit her again.

"Long time no see, Peach. It's been a while since we hadn't contacted each other." Daisy muses.
