An orphan girl gets the break of a lifetime when she discovers her biological father is the Grand Duke. This tale takes Disney princess to uncharted heights, and Blue steers the carpet ride.

"And I am never one to play the White Knight, to a girl just because her gown sparkles in the dark. But somehow I saw more shine inside of you than anyone's eyes could ever perceive," the handsome gentleman charms.

"I believe the name you seek is Blue,  despite its oddity it is true"

"Blue, it is? How peculiar. A girl named Blue. And she has the saddest eyes I have ever seen. I take it that you have never been satisfied, have you?"

"I have been raised to believe that a lady never attains satisfaction, rather she gives it."
