By Ainna Jannah the true princess
In the olden days, there were five kingdoms and four of them were renowned. These four empires have successfully made lots of money from tourism every single year except one, Gleebe Dinasty. This small and poor kingdom never had any tourist. The king of the kingdom figured out what the other’s empire owned that theirs didn’t.
After a while, the king’s chief adviser, Kenny suddenly spoke up, “Princess. Belle, Cinderella, Aurora, and Esmeralda live in those other famous kingdoms. All folks like princesses but we do not have at least one.” Said Kenny. The king sudddenly realized and asked Kenny how do they get a princess. His advisers briefly explained the processes on how to own a princess. However, the king would just wanted to hire one because he found that the processes would take too long.
In the next few days, scouts were sent throughout the empire in order to find the most pretty girls in the land. The king and his advisors have made together a list of traits necessary to be a princess and “Beautiful” was at the top of the list. As might be expected, young ladies of the kingdom heard about the news and all wanted to be chosen. Except Emma.
Emma was a sheep herder. She had inherited the sheep farm from her grandfather and could not afford to hire any help. It was lots of work to ran it all by herself but she really enjoy doing it. She loved her job until she did not want to change her life. Emma was the most pretty girl in the village by having red hair, blue-eyed, and light skinned. Her beauty was the talk not just her own but many other lands. Emma was also very kind and often dreamt about having her prince of life as she did not has anyone else except herself.
Unfortunately, her life was about to change. Emma had chosen by the king’s men to try out for the job of princess. She did not want to be a princess at all because she felt unconfident as she could not afford to be one. However, four other girls were chosen and dressed up incuding Emma. Tiana, a quite short girl but loves crocheting. Mareeda, having tanned skin but expert in archery. Avantika, a chubby girl who passionate in juggling and Serena, an ordinary girl but loves nature so much.
The day has came, Emma wore her handmaded embroided purple dress. The old-fashioned way cloth was a bit tight around her waist and she could not breath in it. She felt very uncomfortable. Emma was brought to the king and his advisers to be asked for few questions. “What would be your first act as a princess?” “What does being a princess mean to you and why do you want to be a princess?”
It was Emma’s turn and the king was shocked to hear Emma’s answer. “I did not. Who decided that being a princess should have pretty face? Elegant?” Asked her. Emma felt it was not fair if she was the one who had chosen. What about the others who really want to be a princess but could not fulfill the trait necessaries? The king was up all night thinking about it. Pretty? Elegant?
A while later, the king came back to Emma. He held up a tiara for Emma but she refused. Emma said she was alone too. There would be no one to look after the sheeps. The king offered Emma that his helpers will take care of it but Emma kept refusing. Emma was scared that her lifestyle would totally change after being a princess.
However, the king did not give up. He kept persuading Emma to be their first princess and asked Emma what can he do so that Emma would finally accept the offer. “I apologize you sire. I did not want to quit my job even though I had to be a princess.” One simple sentence that answered all the king’s questions. Emma continued, “If I was chosen, I need the other four to princess too. It was really unequal if you chose me only because of my appearance. They had their own uniqueness. Things their enjoy doing and their passions into it.” The king agreed. He eventually understand the main point in Emma’s words.
Next several days, news of Emma’s having such pure heart have spreaded to many empires. Prince of Calliope Kingdom, Prince Louis became enamored with Emma. They get married and both kingdom military district became wider. Now, Gleeb Dynasty have five princesses. Emma, princess of Milk became their first princess. Tiana became a Princess of Crocheting. Princess of Archer, Mareeda. Princess of Juggling, Avantika and the fifth one was Princess of Nature, Serena. Indeed, a princess could be whatever she wants. Even if they were short, thin, fat, pretty or not, they were still pretty in their own way and had their own superiority.
The End
