1 CHAPTER 01
What does it feels like to be a princess? To wear gowns and do small waves to the kingdom? To dine with the Queen and King? What does it feels like to have a room so big?
Those are the questions in my mind everytime i saw Princess Drizella walk in the aisle. She would always have this charming smile, beautiful gown and a wonderful tiara. I wonder how it feels like to wear one?
"Anastacia! Continue cutting leaves!" my mother cruella said.
I heaved a sigh. I am a universe apart from my dream. Being a princess while i'm just a mere gardener in the palace. What a funny thought.
-----
While i was cleaning the dirt in the gardens floor i saw a glowing watering can. Why is it glowing?
Then the details written on the watering can starts to glow. "The person who find this magical can will be granted with three wish." i read.
A magical can! A magical watering can! What wish should it be? To eat lots of chocolates? To be able to buy beautiful gowns? To have a pet dog? Oh, i always dreamed to have one! What more? What more? Oh! I know! I know! To be a princess...
I then close my eyes and brush the magical can while whispering my first wish! "I want to be a Princess."
I wait for a bit of minute and notice that nothing has change. I still have this ragged cloth and a dirty shoes, feels like this ain't real eh?
I feel down, expecting something really great is not good. I picked up the watering can and went to my house. So much for this night.. So much for wishing to be a princess... Maybe dreams do not come true at all and it's not like i was meant to be a princess after all. I close my eyes as tears starts to flow. Everything will be alright tomorrow, Anastacia.
-----
"Princess! Princess!" a loud noise calling me made me woke up.
"What? Mother, i will wash the palace dishes later just give me more minutes." i said as i try to sleep again. I hug my big pillow and settle myself in my soft bed. W-Wait what? Soft bed? I never had one, i don't have pillows too when i slept!
"Princess!" I didn't mind their calling and continue running towards the mirror.
I'm Princess Drizella! I'm a princess! I'm a princess! Oh, what a wonderful day this is! My attention got disturb when a loud knock butt in and the door got open. There came Queen Elizabeth and King Andrews.
The Queen then worriedly went to me. "Oh, sweetie, are you fine? Butler George said you look pale yesterday. How are you feeling?" she asked.
I glance at the king and he nod at me. I look back to the queen who is now brushing my hair. How do Drizella call her parents? Was it mommy? mother? or mom?
I cleared my throat. "I-I'm fine, mother." i said and got confuse when the queen's eyes look shocked. "Mother?" she exaggeratedly asked. What's wrong with calling her mother? Isn't just right because she's Princess Drizella's mother?
"Your Majesty, princess. It should be your majesty." the maid whispered. Oh, i got it wrong.
"A-Ahm, i mean your majesty." then i did a courtesy. The Queen felt relieved and so after the scene she told the king that she will rest. She then kissed my forehead to bid goodbye.
I look at the maid that's still here, she look back at me. "That's the first time you called her mother, Princess Drizella. You never called her one because she got mad when you're still a kid and you called her mommy so to avoid any fights with your mother, you called her 'your majesty' instead." she explained while i was just nodding the whole time.
"Well that's... that's cruel." i said.
She nod as a sign of agree, "It is but you got no voice since it's her majesty." then she continue doing her work while i roam around the walking closet.
I saw tons of different gowns made by famous designers and tiaras that are made with real gold and diamonds. Just how rich the royal family are? Even the bathroom is full of golds! Is this how the Princess is living? So amazing!
I bathe myself and choose the best gown to wear. I also chose the tiara with a pink diamonds surrounded by white classic pearls and silver foundation. I walk out of the room and walk in the aisle. Dang! The aisle is wide and has many turns! How am i gonna find the dining room?
"Okay, nice, Anastacia!" I irritatingly said as i open the fourth door and it's a function room.
My face brigthened when i saw a servant walking towards this direction.
"Excuse me!" i said.
Her eyes widened and she hurriedly went to me. "Y-Yes, your majesty?"
"Ahm, i-i forgot where the d-dining room is. A-Ahm, you see i just had a headache earlier and now i forgot where it is. Do you perhaps know where?" i said then laugh awkwardly.
"From this place walk for a bit and turn left and just walk thru that aisle then turn right and then you've reach the dining." she instructed and i nodded.
"Thanks!" i said happily and with her eyes wide she respond, "Y-You're welcome?" I followed the instruction and luckily i now know where the dining is.
I opened the door and take a pic then notice that everybody is looking at me. I cleared my throat and just pretend that i know things. I went to the available seat guessing that it was Drizella's place.
"Have you seen the painting i've sent you, Princess Drizella?" the Queen asked.
What painting? Oh, dang! The one at the tv room! "Yes, i did, mother." everyone felt shock while looking at me.
"You called me mother twice, isn't it disgusting? I might puke here." Her majesty said. I just nod my head as a response losing the apetite to eat.
What? I don't understand? Is the Queen not Drizella's mother? or was the royal family has a secret to keep?
