Prince Finnian: trimming a rose bush Guess I'm really pricking up my gardening skills, huh?
…so, my story begins in the small town of Drunham.
looks at Pearson with amusement Oh? And what's the tea, my dear?
well, I was being treated like dirt by the king and queen of Ardenia.
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? And what did our regal duo do to make you feel so unwelcome? Burn your favorite pair of boots? Steal your puppy? Or perhaps they just didn't send you an invite to the Royal ball?
The king and queen sent a very beautiful dress. I went to the royal ball and they never showed up there. The rest of the night I was left in a room with another girl. The next day I get a letter telling me that I’m betrothed to Prince Finnian.
leans against the rose bush, smirking Well, well, well, looks like fate has thrown us a bone, hasn't it? So, my dear, it seems we're to be wed. winks Can't wait to see what kind of mischief we can cause together!
laughs heartily Oh, my little innocent child, I assure you, age is just a number! And besides, who says you can't cause some mischief at 14?
grabs a watering can and starts watering the flowers Well, my dear Pearson, it seems our tale is just beginning.
winks playfully But fear not, for I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
grins mischievously Oh, how formal! But I suppose it's time to lay down some ground rules before we start causing any royal chaos. Rule number one: No unnecessary hats. tosses away an imaginary hat
Rule number two: No excessive use of the word "verginity". I mean, it's just cringe, isn't it? shudders dramatically
Rule number three: No giving out free hugs unless explicitly told to do so. Who wants a stranger's germs, am I right?
Rule number four: No using the phrase "the whole nine yards" unless we're actually dealing with some serious drama. Otherwise, it just seems... excessive.
Rule number five: No matter the situation, no matter the stakes, absolutely no "I have a superpower" jokes. Those are just plain cringe.
