Cardboard to Tiara (On Hold)

Chapter 5- Story

A king size bed all to myself. A huge shower and tub all to myself.  A terrace with the view of the park, all to myself. I'm liking this princess stuff!

I laid on the soft, luxurious sheets. That was the best night sleep I ever had.  I sighed, "I can get used to this!"

I heard a knock downstairs and voices. Apparently, we have visitors.

"Crap! What am I going to wear?!"

I frantically searched around the room, opening drawers and cabinets. Each drawer was filled with clothing, and each cabinet with food.

I stood speechless. He really did think of everything.

I dressed and ran downstairs.

"Hey."

"Hello. I see you found the clothing."

"Yeah, and I really don't want to know how you knew my size."

"Princess Sophia, I ordered breakfast. I hope you like Belgian waffles."

"Waffles? Oh my gosh I love waffles! I rarely ate them, mostly because the money would go to booze."

I dived into my breakfast. They were warm and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.

"Today, we will be checking if you are indeed the missing Princess Sophia."

"When?" I spoke with my mouth full of waffle.

"After lunch. And please, don't speak with you're mouth full."

"Oh. I'm sorry. This is just the best waffle I ever had." I took another big bite. "So can you tell me the story?"

"How you went missing?' I nodded. "Well, King Langstine and Queen Anne had tried many years to conceive, but to no avail. However, thirteen years ago Queen Anne conceived, and she rejoiced. She would finally would have a baby. Over the months, the baby grew normally. The baby was born, and was named, Princess Sophia Chloe Lanstine. The nation celebrated for a week the birth of the next royal heir. King and Queen threw a ball on your first birthday. Everyone ate, laughed, danced, and enjoyed themselves. The next year, King and Queen wanted to throw another ball for her second birthday. Invitations were sent across the nation, and to other nations. However, the night before her birthday ball, two tourists entered the castle and snuck to her room and kidnapped her while she was sleeping. We later found they were not tourists, but in fact, hired to kidnap the baby princess. The King and Queen were distraught. The nation frantically searched for the princess, but the two tourists had escaped the country before we had a chance to stop all public transportation. King Langstine sent a petition to all neighboring nations to keep watch for his daughter. Two months past without word of the princess, but one day, after weeks of reviewing security footage, they found the two tourists. They were American. King immediately sent word to America, but no reply came. Two weeks later, a ransom letter came. They asked for two million dollars in exchange for knowledge of the  princess's whereabouts. The king sent the money, but never received word. Months past, then years, and still no word. King and Queen could no longer wait for a reply and sent trusted men and women in their court to search for her. We have been searching for thirteen years."

"So...all this time, you think that my mom and dad were those tourists?"

"I believe so, however, we will be sure once you take the test."

"Wow. Can I ask you something?"

"Anything."

"Do they think I'm dead?"

"That possibility has came to their mind, but they will not stop searching until there is confirmation."

I placed my fork on my plate. I lost my appetite. All these years, those scumbags had pretended to be my parents, and when all along, my real parents have been searching for me.

"Can we get this test over and done with now?" I stood.

"Um, well, I guess I can have it moved up." I had clearly caught him off guard. "Let me call someone, while you get ready."

"Okay." I ran upstairs.

I am ready to know if I am Princess Sophia. If I am, this is going to be a life changer.

Dressed, I entered the living area, and met those two familiar blue-green eyes.
