Afrodilla And The Royal Way Once upon a time, in a kingdom far away lived a young princess named Afrodilla who was no more than six years old. "Father, Father come on come play with me!" An only child raised by her father, the king for the good loving nature of his daughter decided to remarry the rich widow duchess Amber of Burgandy to help him raise his daughter. And to help teach her the royal way... Day One- Coronation day "Afrodilla my child it's time to get up it's coronation day." Said the king, "Father I don't wanna go to the cornoration do I have to go?" The king looked at his daughter with longing eyes, "Yes my dear you have to be there, it is tradition for the royal family to be there and you are the princess." Said the king tickling his little girl, Afrodilla laughed and laughed. "Please my precious come for me?" Looking at her father, Afrodilla sighed and said "Oh alright, I'll go for you but not her." The king kissed his daughter, then fetched the servants to help her dress. "Do you so solemnly swear to govern the people of France with kindness and loving nature that was brought on by the last queen before you?" Said the Archbishop "I do so solemnly swear." Amber replied. "And do you promise to love me the way my mommy did?" Afrodilla asked, Amber knelt down and said "Yes my little princess, I do so solemnly swear to love you the way your mommy did." Just hearing those words made Afrodilla like Amber a little more 'Maybe I will think of Amber as a mommy figure' thought the princess.' Ten years later Age sixteen and the princess is just the most beautiful girl in all France, but one short surprise away from becoming a queen. "Parliament is now in session, and I've decided it is high time the princess got married to Prince Andre of Navarre." Chatter amongst the members of parliament went crazy, "Silence" , shouted the king and everyone quieted down. "Sir are you sure that the princess is ready for such an honorable task?" The king was dismayed by the comment, "Lord Antoine, how dare you ask such a question! The princess Afrodilla is more than ready for this task." Meanwhile the princess was in her own little world "Chemaryn, what do you think they are talking about I hate not knowing what is being spoken of." Just as Chemaryn was about to answer, "Afrodilla guess what!" Exclaimed the king, "Parliament and I have decided that it is time for you to be married to the prince Andre of Navarre!" Afrodilla looked at her father, "Father what the heck?" The king walked towards his daughter "what's wrong my dear?" Asked the king "Amber!" Amber ran into the room, "Afrodilla what is it?" Afrodilla explained "Father wants to marry me off to the prince of Navarre!" Amber stared at her husband "Daxton what has gotten into you? Afrodilla has never met him and clearly she doesn't want to get married yet. My love what are you up to?" King Daxton hesitated and said, "Look girls we are running out of grain in our lands and King Beau of Navarre said for him to give us grain it would require a marriage contract. I'm sorry Afrodilla." Afrodilla thought a moment, she was furious originally but then she realized it was to save her country. "It's okay father, but next time please talk to me first do you promise?" Hugging his daughter the king said "Yes Afrodilla I promise you I'll talk to you about things in the future." A Royal Meeting "So Afrodilla are you ready to meet Prince Andre of Navarre?" Amber asked. "Yes I think so Amber, I just need to find my favorite tiara. Chemaryn can you help me find my favorite tiara, you know the one with the opals and pink diamonds?" Chemaryn nodded and went to the closet and from a special case she pulled out a beautiful, silver, tiara with the most delicate opals and pink diamonds. Gratefully the princess ran to Chemaryn and said "Where was it? I couldn't find it anywhere. Thank you Chemaryn, okay Amber now I am ready to meet Prince Andre of Navarre." 'I wonder if everything is in order for his arrival' thought the princess. 'Everything has to be perfect.' "Chemaryn, is everything prepared for the prince's visit? I want everything to be perfect." away from becoming a queen.
