THE UNWANTED BECOMES THE WANTED: THE UGLY MEETS THE BEAUTY
~*~
She was a princess, a princess with apparently high order and class. But she didn't have any of those. First of all she was a woman, therefore could not be a queen unless she married, even if she was the second oldest. Secondly she had to have manners and rules made by her ancestors. And finally no one accepted her.
They only pretended to because she was the princess of the Moon Kingdom. To them she was a rat; she couldn't seduce or flirt with any man to save her life if it depended on it. She couldn't even dance or walk without tripping at least once. Hell, she wasn't even good to look at.
When she was young, she was fat. When she was a preteen she had braces. When she was a teenager, thirteen in age, she had a scar on her right arm from tripping. Now, at age fifteen she was known through out the history of royalties and mankind the stupidest girl in the world.
Since she was ugly the most of her life she now didn't even bother to brush her hair or dress nicely. She only did it when her father and mother scolded her. Either way no one liked her because to him or her she was always ugly. No, beyond that... hideous was the right word.
Princess Serenity sighed as she looked at her reflection in the body length mirror. Her blonde hair was smoothed out due to her mother's wishes but it didn't shine brightly like her older sister's, Minako's, hair or smelled like daisies like her younger sister's, Mimi's, hair. Her hair was just plain dull.
Her skin was still a peachy colour but not as smooth as her mother's, Selenity's, skin or as rich colour like her father's, Zeus's, skin. Even her rough younger brother, Shingo, had more admirable skin than her skin. It must have been his exercising... that or he was treated better than her and her sisters because he was the heir to the throne. Either way she hated her skin.
Now her eyes was blue colour with a hint of silver mixed together, that was the only thing that made her feel okay about herself. But still, her eyes didn't attract attentions from people like the sapphire blue eyes from the princess of the Sanq Kingdom, Relena, or didn't make men fall down to their knees like the shining eyes from the princess of the Mercury Kingdom, Ami.
Serenity narrowed her eyes at the light blue gown she was wearing. It was made from fine silk imported from China and was laced with royal blue. Her neck was adored by light blue pearls from Egypt, as were her ears.
Her hair was done up into a long braid behind her back but her hair at the sides of her face was put down in front of her shoulders, effectively hiding her stupid breasts at each side. In her braid was a blue strip of blue string about a centimeter wide; it was braided with her hair to match it with her fine blue gown.
On her delicate lips were chapped to make it look more inviting and luscious to men. Yeah right, like any man would like her. And her skin was creamed to attract men as well. Man, did she ever feel like her mother and father were trying to sell her off to men as to not to burden them.
A steady hollow knock came from the door and echoed within the sunlit room where her queen sized bed stood with two towering windows at each side. On the right left bottom corner of her room was her desk full of makeup and to the left of her room was a closet full of clothes. On the right side of her bed was a door leading to her bathroom. And just in front of her bed was the door that lead to the hallway.
"Who is it?" she asked indifferently.
"It is I, your highness. Their majesties have sent me to fetch you to the party," came the oh-so-familiar voice of her lady in waiting.
"Alright, I'm coming," Serenity spoke to her reflection as she turned around and opened the door to come out into the hallway, trimmed with red carpet and pictures. Every so often a little table would be at the side with a vase full of blooming flowers.
"This way, your highness," Luna informed as she bowed and indicated with her arms to go to the left where all the laughter was.
Serenity nodded and coughed up all her princess training as her back became straight and her head was held up high, as if she was a queen. But she knew she could never be a queen even in a million years. No decent unmarried prince or king would take her in.
With a steady and soft breathing she walked slowly towards the ballroom, waiting to be lonely again as Luna walked equally slowly behind her.
With no further or due she entered the ballroom being introduced by Artimis, "Announcing her majesty Princess Serenity of the Moon Kingdom." Hushed whispers were heard all around her as she walked across the ballroom aisle to go in front of the throne where her mother sat in the right hand of her father as her brother sat on the left hand of her father. To the right of her mother were three empty chairs.
Three empty chairs meant that her sister were in this room talking to other royalties and nobles whereas she had just arrived. People became quiet as if to wait for her to trip or something. But it never came.
Going in front of her father she curtsied towards him, then her mother, then her brother... that she hated very much. But she couldn't help it that she was a female not a male, cause if she were a male she would be sitting in the position Shingo was in.
After she curtsied the hushed whispers disappeared and became full time conversations full of gossip, war tactics and even about love as Serenity walked around people towards the balcony.
On the balcony she heard giggling from other girls who were talking about her or were staring at handsome men. She heard men talk about which woman they were going to sweep off of their feet as she stared at the lonely sky. It was full of stars glittering and with the planets glowing with pride at the Moon Kingdom.
Today was her brother's tenth birthday, when the planets shift into a straight line because whoever was the ruler or heir to the Moon Kingdom would rule the universe. That was the only reason why she was ever respected, because she was the daughter of a God and a Goddess.
Serenity never knew why the Moon Kingdom had an heir, especially when her mother a father never did die. She actually got her answer yesterday when they told her that once her brother came of age they would just become Gods and leave the Moon Kingdom alone until it was necessary for them to act.
She then heard giggling from her sister, Minako, probably about Prince Trowa of Mercury and Prince Duo of Jupiter or the unmarried King Quartre of Venus or even Prince Milliardo of the Sanq Kingdom. Then she heard hush whispers from her other sister, Mimi, with blush on her cheeks... probably about Prince Yugi of Egypt or Prince Yamato of Neptune or it could be the unmarried King Heero of Saturn?
Turning around her long hair at the sides of her face swayed, so softly that it seemed as light as a feather, she saw the unmarried Emperor of China, Wufei, talking to her father, Zeus. Her mother was talking to Prince Yamato's mother as Princess Michiru of Neptune played the violin, accompanied by Princess Hakura of Uranus on the piano.
Serenity leaned against the railing as Artimis announced, "Introducing Prince Yohji of the Sun." Everyone stopped and looked at the new comer for everyone was waiting for this. Why? Because ever since the old king of the Sun died no one thought he had a descendant. Everyone was worried, especially when the Sun was the second most valuable kingdom in the universe and no one was its guardian. With a week's worth of researching the planets found out that Prince Yohji was his only remaining descendant on the sun. So this bachelor was the unmarried King of the Sun.
With one look Serenity's attention was caught in his sweet green eyes that were already entranced by all the women and the men's glare as he went to her father's throne and bowed. His soft honey brown hair swept her breath away as his every movement hypnotized her on the spot.
"He looks not bad," came the mature voice.
Serenity turned to the protective princess of Uranus. She was one out of four that were her friends. And Hakura being the most protective one was always alert and that didn't bother Serenity except for the fact that Hakura was always in her space when she needed time alone. Hakura knows that, but Serenity was like a little sister to her. So as long as Serenity is in danger, she'll be there.
"Yeah," Serenity replied.
Hakura kept an eye at the man who was flirting with every woman in the whole area. She then warned, "Stay away from him. He seems to be another ladies man like Prince Duo."
"Hm..." Serenity hummed, "It's not like he'll be interested in me."
Hakura immediately switched onto another subject, "How's the scar?"
She meant the one she got when she was thirteen when she tripped and scared her right arm. She answered, "It's fine."
Hakura knew that the scar was bothering Serenity so quickly said, "We're really close in finding a doctor to take that scar away."
"Hm..." was the answer she got as Serenity kept her eye on the new King of the Sun. But she knew what Hakura said. "We're" meant Princess Setsuna of Pluto, Princess Hotaru of Saturn, also King Heero's younger sister, and Princess Michiru of Neptune, also Prince Yamato's older sister.
Of course Serenity didn't believe Hakura when she said that they had almost found a doctor that can cure her scar because they had tried for two whole years now, and nothing had come up. Her three friends are really trying to get rid of the scar for they knew that the scar made Serenity feel depression, but she had said nothing of it.
"I mean it Serenity. Stay away from that guy," Hakura warned one last time before she went back to play on the piano as Michiru started a string or two.
Serenity closed her eyes and leaned softly on the railing, letting the soft melody of the violin and the piano take her soul into peace. Her image of the handsome King Yohji disappeared and the thoughts of her not being able to be accepted vanished. This duet of theirs were written for her. Everyone knew that but dismissed it as another good song they made up.
They named it, "Our angel of hope and light."
