Bookstruck (Do You Wanna Hear a Story?)༆

by Lady-Nameless

"He could go anywhere he wanted to go; he could do anything that he wanted to do." And for a child who couldn't, it only made her think of windows with no sunlight and bedrooms with closed doors, parental guidance that advised her to, "never go anywhere until you've learned how to breathe underneath the weight of your own gloves." #ᗩᒪTᕮᖇᑎᗩTᕮ ᑌᑎIᐯᕮᖇSᕮ (2014)

4. The Reality

And now here you are, walking through the gates of Arendelle with a princess by your side. You look noble and kind, a little like the sun-eyed boy I knew before. Your chest swells with confidence now, never compromised by a slouch or a tremor. I watch as you glide past other dignitaries with the ease of a breeze. You glow with something they lack: inner peace.

Your new title must drip behind you like liquid gold when you walk into a room. Into the world. Into the masquerade ball of adulthood. You have successfully carved out your own little place in another universe ― one where sob-stories end with "Happily Ever After." It becomes you as you kiss your princess with love and sincerity in your sunshine eyes. You wear your happy ending like a corsage.

And here I am, watching you live it from the window of my prison. All those days of falling from the sun, yet here you stand.

Prince Eugene.
