Ellaboom POV
I looked across my window, seeking for the right man, my prince charming to be precise, but couldn't find any. I decided to look at the mirror to examine myself whether I have an ugly shape or face. " Nahh, I look great". I just don't understand the problem. Why can't a noble just like me for who I am and not because of my wealth. I sigh. My name is Princess Ellaboom, daughter of king lucais and Queen Mirenda of the Brendel kingdom in Canada. I lived a life of luxury and was pampered. I was home schooled. I was enjoying my life of singleness, until i turned 26 when the talk of marriage and suitors became my daily topic at home. But all the suitors been introduced to me was either after my wealth trying to plan to accumulate most of my property when we get married while sometimes planning to kill me after marriage. I wish i could just find my Right man.
" Princess Ella, your breakfast is ready" called maya, my maid. I quickly combed my hair and put on my yellow gown with a floppy slippers. When I got down, I met my parents, the King and Queen already at the table, discussing business. "Good morning " I greeted, gaining them my presence and they replied my greeting. And now it was time for my mum to ask, " Darling, are there no suitors you love?"
"Mum,they don't actually love me,they love my wealth. I just want a guy to love me the way I am and cherish me like a priceless jewel. Not thinking about how many wealth they could accumulate from my family." I responded feeling down. " But its hard to find true love these days. Wealth solves everything. Just pick any suitors and with your wealth, they will respect you and treat you like the priceless jewel you speak of". " so dad was that how you met mum?Through wealth? Not love?"
" Oh, come on honey, we were arranged,but later we fell in love. Don't worry, just find a suitable suitor and later on love will grow. After all when there is money, there is love" Dad said with a smile. " No dad. Money can't buy love, joy or happiness " and there goes another round of arguments. So after much argument, a thought runs down my mind. " what if I travel far alittle bit without any guards, maids or anything that shows royalty? I just want to be like an ordinary civilian" I said. "Impossible! I can't let my only daughter travel around freely without protection. What if some bad people kidnap you or robbers on the way? No." " Dad, no one can touch this beauty. Besides not everyone can identify me as the daughter of the greatest king lucais and Queen Mirenda". I said trying to push forward. " Honey, the outside world is not what you think". " how will I know if I don't explore? Or maybe my Prince charming might be waiting for me or maybe I shouldn't get married?". I said trying to give them a pitiful look,after all my parents can't stand me in tears. After much deliberation, he said " Alright you can go, with only one condition " says dad with a growl on his face. " One guard must follow you, anywhere you go and never let anything happen to you, if not they will pay with his life within six months but if otherwise, he will be paid handsomely. So pick wisely". Some guards were summoned but they were reluctant to follow me. What a life! But surprisingly, my favourite friend who works as a maid in the Palace named Holly, spoke up and agreed to follow me. So after a documents was signed, we were free to move. Me and Holly picked a nice place in califonia, which was not too big nor very beautiful but was comfortable at least. After all we have shelter.
On the third week of May, we were set for the quest to find the most suitable suitor #seekfortruelove#, with a lovely smile on my face but tears on my parents faces. I gave them the final peck before embarking on the journey to califonia
