Untangled

A test story of an alternate universe aftermath.
........
Rapunzel's adoptive Mother, Gothel, has been imprisoned for treason against the princess royal. But Zella wants to know why she was kidnapped.
........
Some might think the middle of the night is quiet, silent, or peaceful in the kingdom of Corona, and some are right. In the daylight, noise surrounds Most and Some. As the sun sets, noise surrounds Some and Most. When the last bell of the day sounds from the town clock, silence rules. Even in the castle where over a hundred people live to protect and serve the royal family of Corona. Some say it is quiet because Most are dormant. On this glorious night, the Queen was ill, but they found a cure. The princess was delivered but then stolen. The princess was born at 12:04 pm and everyone was celebrating noisily. The princess took her first breath at 12:04:10pm and the entire kingdom- whether Some or Most- slept. The queen slept. The king slept. The doctors, nurses, servants, horsemen, and guards slept. The princess, though, did not sleep. Neither did Gothel. That was the first day in a hundred years that Most were up past midnight and Some slept at night. The newborn princess was kidnapped on the night of her birth. The sun rose and fell twice, and everyone was asleep. On the third rising they wake from their slumber. Panic rose when Rapunzel was not found.
