Annabella! Annabella! Annabella! How many times do I have to yell your name out before you answer me?

Coming mother! yelled Annabella as she rush to go meet her mother.
Look at you? Your a mess! What happen to your hair? said her mother as she tried to look at her daughter rusty appearance.

You're a princess and you should look like one? You look like a dirty commoner!

"I don't want to be a princess, mother. I rather roam around like a commoner." Annabella said rolling her eyes as her mother try to fix her appearance.

I'm sick and tired of acting all pretty like a doll. Royal life is not for me. I don't want to be caged up like a bird. I want to spread my wings and fly. Explore what's out there. When there's so much to see.

Why do you act like this? I didn't raise you to be like this! She yelled exasperatedly in her sternly voice.

You didn't even raise me. Anna said in whisper.

What? What did you just say? Her mother questioned her.

Nothing. It was nothing. She gave her mother a fake smile.

Well, today you are meeting the King of Archgonia. So you better be on your best behavior.

And if I'm not.

You just better be. Her mother said sighing.

Why do I even have to meet him?

It's a very important meeting and you must be there. Anyway, he said he wants to meet you.

Meet me! Anna yelled.

Yes, you. Now, get ready. They are all waiting for you. I'll call in the handmaids to get you ready. Please, Anna. Be on your best behavior. She said to her daughter with sincere in her eyes, as she was about to leave the room.

Yes, mother. Anna sighs deeply, looking at floor.
