Lost Princess

I'M WHAT

It was Marinette's turn to get her dress designed . Little did she know her life was about to change forever.

"Marinette Dupain-Chang" she heard her name being called from the loud speaker as she went to the enterence of the hallway. It was embroidered with crystals, diamonds and pictures of the royal family throughout the decades. One painting caught her eye it was of a woman with dark black hair and a traditional dress she looked to be in her late 20s behind her was a man who was very buff ,with short cut hair and an Italian mustache. Still just like the man from the lobby earlier there was something oddly familiar to her , like she has known about them her whole life.

"Miss Dupain-Chang are you coming" the tall woman said. Marinette had unconsciously stopped in the middle of the hallway "Oh um sorry yes I'm on my way" the woman deeply reminded Marinette as her idol Gabriel's assistant Natalie but a little less strict and serious.

The corridor came to an end with a brown wooden door with a golden door knob. As Marinette entered room she observed it. Countless racks of fabric, jewels and beads in every department, Crowns and Tiaras lined against the walls. Already made fitted gowns on racks stretching from one end of the room the other. This certainly didn't look like a normal fitting room that's for sure. She was to distracted by the details to notice the two people sitting on the stool .

She walked closer to the two people "Hi I'm Marinette" she wanted to greet them until they turned around she paused "wait are they....... no they couldn't" still she couldn't believe her eyes "Yes Marinette it's us your parents PLEASE DON'T FREAK OUT"

"B-b-b- ut how you guys were just in Paris and-and -and I talked to you on the phone and how are here" she struggled to get the right words out

"Marinette" Sabine sighed "Your Father and I are the King and Queen of Shanghai, China" Marinette still couldn't believe her ears "So i-if your the King and Queen................" she began to put the pieces together "That means I'm the princess and the coronation that's happen is mine which means" she paused again "I'M GOING TO BE QUEEN" her face filled with excitement not worrying about any possible outcome , what her friends would think she didn't even care about being Ladybug and forgot about the kwami in her purse

"Wait but , that means I have to leave Paris" the excitement exited her face. Then it all came flooding back to her. She was Ladybug she couldn't leave Paris, Hawkmoth was still on the run, but of course she couldn't tell her parents that. "Mom , Dad I -I can't be queen. I have a life in Paris with my friends and if I leave them I don't know what they would do without me" she tried to sound convincing as possible rambling. Tom was done with hearing her excuses day after day she needed to understand what responsibility was and this was the bast way to show her

"MARINETTE THIS IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY FROM THIS LIKE YOU DO EVERYTHING ELSE , ONCE YOU ARE QUEEN THERE IS NO TURNING BACK" he yelled at her , he was more than furious with her for trying to make up lies and excuses. She knew she was screwed "Yes Papa" she hung her head low in defeat

Tom and Sabine turned around to leave their daughter "oh and Marinette you will tell none of your friends of this. They will find out on Coronation day when you reveal your identity as well as anyone else you know and for this occasion pick something formal"

The designers came in from waiting outside with a smile on their face as well as the woman that brought her to that room

She wiped the small tears from her eyes "Miss Dupain-Chang what kind of design are you looking for" the kind lady brought her a scrap book along with a color book filled with every color of the rainbow. Some colors were marked off signifying someone else had already taken it. Marinette pointed out a whitish grayish dress (You won't see it in this chapter) and a floral patten to go with it.

"Thanks you Princess" the lady went back to the door "Oh and please all three of you please don't call me Princess or Miss Dupain Chang" she laughed it seamed to brighten her mood "please call me Marinette"

The other two designers in the room began to prep the materials to fit Marinette , they would not finish today since there was distraction and each student was only allowed 30 minutes each day if it was not finished on the first.

The two female designers and the one male took three minutes to set all the materials aside before the same lady showed Marinette out

"WAIT" she called out they looked at her with confusion " I never get your names" the lady next to her started first "My name is Crystal" a warm smile curved along her face "I help with getting the materials out and escorting each student back and forth to get fitted"

"I'm Lou, I do most of the designing of the dresses and suits. I sew add the embroidery , designs and buttons" she smiled at the girl "You know I love designing it's what I want to be. Well what I wantedkmok to be" he face fell once more before looking at the man

"My name is Lenni-Kim I don't do as much as Lou but I pick out all the jewels and footwear to accompany the dress and its design"

"Well it was a pleasure meeting all three of you" she smiled at them once more before leaving the room.

The soon to be queen walked down the hallway by herself "Tikki what am I going to do I can't be a queen and Ladybug and on top of that worry about my education" silent sobs filled the quiet hallway "Marinette you'll figure something out you always do"

"I hope so Tikki"

She went back to the hall with the rest of her classmates

"Hey Alya" the bluenette needed some cheering up "So did you hit it off with Noah and his friends or are you still not very fond of him" she said crossing her arms

"Well , Marinette if you may ask he is actually really cool , Bridgette is my soul sister I swear we have so much in common and we just met isn't it great" Alya continued to gush over her new friendship

Marinette put a smile on her face as always, making everything look like it was okay when at times it wasn't . No-one would never guess that Marinette's life wasn't as perfect as it was made out to be.

"That's great Al" she put her hand on her best friends back "But you know Marinette , you will always be my best friend no matter what" she pulled into a tight hug

"Promise" Marinette mumbled

"Promise" Alya hugged her even tighter

"Lucious , the princess is in fact that Marinette girl from Pairs"

"Are you sure we wouldn't want another situation like last time do we" the evil guy had the same henchmen from last time standing right beside him waiting for command.

"Yes ,yes I stood inside a hidden passage as her parents broke the news" the skinny man quivered praying that he didn't get killed or at least not yet "GABRIEL" Lucious called him with an agonizing screech

"WHAT" the butterfly user yelled back "Do you remember this Marinette Dupain-Chang this man speaks of the one who's the infamous Ladybug" Gabriel gulped "she is one of my sons friends" Luscious knew his next steps "She's our target" his lips once again curved into a devious smirk "What is your role at the palace"

"I-I am the Princesses personal assistant" he stuttered out "Then I assume you will keep me updated on any plans they have" the man nodded

"You may leave now"
