Princess гороховый, горох woke up, her vision fuzzy. She found herself in a carriage that was being pulled by a кучер, ямщик and two horses. She peered out the window and didn't recognize the trail they were traveling on. She realized the door was locked and someone had trapped her inside. The last thing гороховый, горох could remember before waking up was finding her mother, Annalynne, waiting for her in her guest room at the Beast's castle. The memory of what had happened came flooding back to her...
"Mother!" гороховый, горох had cried when she walked into her room to find Queen Annalynne. "What are Ты doing here? How did Ты find me?"
"Pack your things, Pea," Queen Annalynne replied coldly. "We're leaving."
"What? No, I'm not leaving," гороховый, горох whined. "Besides, the last time I saw you, weren't Ты the one telling me to run away? Ты called me a royal bitch, I believe."
"Listen, Ты silly girl," demanded the Queen. "There's been an arrangement. Prince Bartholomew, of the South Kingdom, wants Ты to be his bride."
"Excuse me?"
"It's an incredible opportunity, for both of us," Annalynne's eyes glistened with greed. "The South Palace is two times the size of our castle. And the prince will buy Ты and I countless new dresses, tiaras, pieces of jewelry and shoes."
"But, I can't," insisted Pea. "I've fallen in Любовь with Conrad. He's stood by me through thick and thin."
"Leopold's son?" the Queen was shocked. "Don't be ridiculous. He can't provide for you, he's a mere commoner. Pea, this news should have Ты ecstatic. Until this offer, our entire kingdom never wanted to see Ты again. They wanted Ты dead. But if Ты accept Bartholomew's proposal, Ты can have your old life back. Everything will be as it was before...no better!"
"NO!" гороховый, горох yelled. She ran towards the doorway but a dark shadow blocked her way. It was one of the palace guards.
"Take her away quietly, we can't have her causing a scene, she'll thank me later," сказал(-а) Annalynne.
The guard forcefully put a drop of sleeping dust into Pea's eye and the princess felt herself lose consciousness...
Suddenly, the carriage came to a halt. A much larger carriage rolled its way Далее to the one гороховый, горох was trapped inside. The same guard who had attacked her forced гороховый, горох into the larger carriage...where her mother sat patiently.
"MOTHER!" гороховый, горох was shocked. "What is the meaning of all this? I refuse to marry Bartholomew and Ты can't make me...take me back to the Beast's замок at once and I'll consider letting Ты live!"
"Fine, Ты win," answered Annalynne. гороховый, горох was surprised at how easily she'd дана up. "We'll take Ты back to the Beast's."
"Alright..." сказал(-а) гороховый, горох suspiciously. "By the way, how did Ты find me?"
"Your tiara has a tracking device, did I forget to mention that when I gave it to you?" Queen Annalynne pulled out a small envelope. "Peanalita, the only reason I'm agreeing to take Ты back to that dingy замок is because I reckon Conrad is in Любовь with you. I met him about an час назад and he asked me to give Ты what I'm assuming is a romantic Любовь letter. We'll just take Ты to the South Kingdom to formally reject Bartholomew's proposal and then we'll bring Ты back to Conrad."
"Oh, thank you, Mother!" гороховый, горох hugged the Queen. "I'm so glad Ты understand. I know he's not rich but he's truly the one for me. And by the way, if Ты ever have that disgusting guard put kidnap me again, I will put poison in your яблоко martini."
"Fair enough," Annalynne smiled. "Conrad asked me to give Ты this." She handed Princess гороховый, горох the envelope. "I bet he confesses his Любовь for Ты in that letter. Maybe there will even be a proposal."
Pea opened the letter excitedly...
Dear Pea,
I know that we have spent a great deal of time together recently and that we shared much passion. However, it saddens me to say that my passion for Ты has run short. I've дана the matter a lot of thought and the truth is, Ты are nothing еще than a spoiled brat. Meeting Belle has opened my eyes and I now see that people can be beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. Thank Ты for the memories but I think Ты deserve a rich prince and I deserve a girl with an actual brain beneath her pretty face. Sorry it didn't work out.
Sincerely,
Conrad
"Whatever does it say?" Annalynne asked, faking curiousity while гороховый, горох read the letter she herself had written fifteen минуты earlier.
"It...he..." гороховый, горох felt a tear trickle down her cheek. She crumpled up the letter. "I guess he doesn't feel the way I thought he felt. Once again, I'm in Любовь with someone who doesn't Любовь me back..."
"Oh, Ты poor thing," the Queen pretended to be heartbroken. "Well, at least now Ты can see that true Любовь exists only in fairy tales."
"Maybe you're right," гороховый, горох sighed. "Maybe I was just fooling myself. I just really thought he saw beyond my stunning good looks. He seemed to really understand me and...anyway, I guess it doesn't matter anymore. I should just go back to what I'm good at...shopping to fill my empty void."
"But you've been banished from our kingdom and if Ты return, they'll execute you, how on Earth could Ты get your old life back?"
"I suppose I could accept Prince Batholomew's proposal," Princess гороховый, горох considered the idea. "If true Любовь is just a big fat lie, what's the point in sitting around depressed? I might as well just marry for money. At least that way, I get something good out of the deal."
"Now there's an idea," Queen Annalynne felt victorious. "In fact, we've arrived at the South Kingdom..."
Pea looked outside the carriage window and saw a handsome prince waiting for her.
