Your Naive and Innocent Princess Fiona’s POV
Life is so unpredictable. I was preparing for my marriage two days ago in our Pruhan Kingdom.
I am the princess of Pruhan, Fiona Agnes. I am 25 years old and was always treated like a fragile doll in the kingdom. Every day when I used to wake up a maid always greeted me and made me wear slippers. Other maids prepared the bath for me. I used to have a bath with milk and so many other fragrances. My body glows like a newborn baby. I have fair skin and just a little squeeze could give me marks.
After that, I wear dresses made of silk and it feels like the second skin of my body.
When I was just fifteen, I went to a charity ball with my father and the king of Urika saw me there. Soon he and my father became good friends and he asked for my hand for his son, Magnus. First, I thought it was a joke when my father told me about this.
I mean how could they take such a big decision in my life without telling me. But it seems my destiny was always written by my father. But I am not someone who accepts fate easily. I am rebellious and I know how to stand for my rights. So, I tried to make them understand that but it seems all my pleadings went deaf ears. I was fuming with anger thinking about the situation I am currently stuck inside.
My father and the king of the Pruhan kingdom have planned my marriage with someone whom I never met. I was informed last week that on Aug 7, I will be marrying the future king and crown prince of Urika whose name I think is Magnus.
My father always made decisions for me and my life. My mother decided what I should wear? What should I eat? How should I behave?
My brother decided with whom I would talk? No man was allowed near me.
I and my younger sister face the same thing.
Being a princess was never an easy task.
So, I thought to decide for myself this time and I ran for my life.
I ran for my freedom and I ran to live the life of my choice.
I took the help of one of my maids. She has been with me since my childhood. Her name was Maria. I had no friends except those fake ones who are good on your face only.
I asked my maid to wear my clothes and lay on the bed at my place. I made her believe that no one would harm her and I will make sure of it.
I did everything in my power to keep her safe.
I told one of the knights to take her to a safe place after my departure.
With so much talk and plans, finally, we did it.
She wore my silk gown and opened her burgundy hairs open so that they could cover her face. We both had the same hair colors which is an advantage for me. She used to help me in childhood whenever I wanted to play. She always took my place but one day the queen found and gave us a strict warning. Then we never pulled that stunt again.
I wore her cotton dress and covered my head with a veil. I was wearing my jewelry as I needed money once I was out. Only my eyes were visible and I knew no one would be able to recognize me now.
The Knight told me a secret way to get out of the kingdom without getting caught.
I hugged Maria and thanked her for her help.
“Good luck princess and take care of yourself.” She wished me and laid on the bed. She covered her face with the blanket.
I took off my anklet from my feet so that there would be no voice and I left.
I ran from my kingdom.
I ran from my marriage.
I ran from my family.
I ran, only God knows where?

After 1 week
The bright sunlight was coming into my room through the glass windows. I was sleeping peacefully in my room. After that night I reached London with some help and took a room in an ordinary and hotel that was not lavish but good enough to stay there.
Though I wanted to opt for something big and lavish, I knew my father would try his best to find me. I can’t afford to do that so I took a room in a small hotel. It is not that big but it has all the amenities which I needed. I have been in this room for the last one week. Everything was delivered to me in my room. I knew that someone could recognize me easily as many times I was featured in newspapers at parties, and charity balls so I had to make a little bit of a change in appearance.
I took the help of one of the staff in the hotel. I gave her some money and told her to bring me a few clothes. She shopped for me and brought me so many dresses with makeup and heels.
She also told me about a beautician who had her own boutique. I wore a black midthigh dress and covered my face. I wore goggles so that I can hide easily. After her shift, she took me to the parlor.
“Hi”, I greeted the beautician and shook hands with her. In our Kingdom, we were told to meet only those people who were equal to us. I left that life behind and here I will live like an ordinary girl.
“Hey, How may I help you?”, she asked.
“What do you need ma’am?”, Sophia asked. She is the girl from the hotel staff who is helping me.
“I don’t know.”, I said and they both yelled with amusement written on their face, “Means?”
“I mean, I need a makeover. A complete makeover so please do your best.”, I smiled at both of them and took my seat in front of the mirror.
“Here we go, then.”, the beautician said and took her brushes.
She took her time on my face and hair. It felt like I have been sitting there for days. She cut my hair to shoulder length. She colored my hair from Burgandy to Reddish Blonde. She trimmed my eyebrows, waxed my legs, and underarms, and did everything.
She did my makeup and told me to have a look at myself in the mirror. I was changed. No one would be able to recognize me now. I was wearing a tight dress which showed my curves in a good way.
My makeup was perfect and was highlighting my features. I was damn sure this is what I needed at this point in time.
I looked at myself in my mirror and smiled. I was looking different. For a few moments was not able to recognize me. I stood and hugged the beautician, “Ohh my God. Thanks a lot.”
She also gave me compliments about my figure, skin, and everything. Then I asked them, “Can you suggest to me something that I could do here?”
She was looking at me like I am some alien. I don’t blame her. I never lived like a normal person so it is a natural reaction. I cleared my thoughts and said, “Means, I am new in London and don’t know anything.”
“Why don’t you go to a club and enjoy the nightlife. I had a feeling you would love it.”, Sophia suggested.
“Really?”, I turned to her and the excitement was clear in my eyes.
I inquired, “How can I reach there?”
She told me everything. How to reach there and how to enter? What I could do there and all. I paid them for their work and thanked them for their help. I grabbed my purse and ran to exit after saying, “Thank you, Bye.”
“See you tomorrow.”, Sophia said and I nodded.

I reached the Studio 338 nightclub in North Greenwich. I never went to a nightclub so I didn’t know how they look. It was my first experience here. Their club had an open terrace. The sound of the DJs was echoing in my ears. I was shocked to see that much crowd. I mean, of course, we had so many servants but still, we always got space. Even in my room only selected people were allowed.
I went to the bar and took a seat. The bartender was serving drinks to other people and I took a good look at him. He was about 5’5 height with a good physique. I mean not so bad. I like his biceps a lot.
“What would you like to have, young lady?”, He asked resting his elbows on the table and giving me that smile. He had a beautiful smile.
I smiled and leaned on the counter and rested my hands on it and said, “Well, surprise me with your best?”
I didn’t know much about drinks, so it was the best reply to save me from embarrassment.
I knew Princess Fiona is very smart. You can appreciate me through your comments.
I had my first drink which I didn’t know. It burnt me from inside in starting but later it felt awesome. I was lost in this new world. I forgot who am I until I heard, “Princess Fiona.”
