Chapter 1

Once upon a time there was a queen.

She was no ordinary queen, for she was a young one with a hyper personality. No one could deal with her.  She would always be hyped up and cheerful, chaotic wherever she went, etc.

Alongside her was no one. Nobody could stand being beside her for 10 minutes, let alone rule along with her. Her parents were lucky, being born into the royal family, and slowly she had ascended to the position of a queen at 17. Considering the perks of being in charge, the queen spent her days doing what she willed, having fun, and chatting with a maid she adored very much in particular.

But this didn’t mean she didn’t work.

When she did, her work was never rushed, never lazily written or done. She was an earnest worker who had fun while working, sometimes messing around a bit, but still an earnest worker overall. A queen leading a kingdom with a bright future. Then again, since no one had ever put up with her frequent cheerfulness and excessive chaoticness, she was left alone, in her chambers inspecting laws, ordering problems going around, etc. This would be rather tiring work.

And so she was lonely.

To fight this loneliness and to find the one she was meant to be with, she proposed a contest: “Whoever can complete the challenges I bestow onto thou shall earn the honor of ruling alongside me.”

Many people were hesitant about being alongside the queen with the hyper personality, but the thought of becoming a royal got to many of them. The queen did not specify what type of people or which people of certain statuses were allowed to participate, so many people showed up at the arena (this is my story i name things what i want to name them) on the date.

This is where we will turn our focus from our admired but loved not queen to a simple commoner, a demigirl the same age as our queen, who had applied to work in her castle.

This maid worked in the queen’s castle for a strange reason. She was born with wonderful parents, always treating her wonderfully, but she did not know how to love back. She thought love was only a few words, that it was just appreciating each other and hugging and kissing etc. And since she did not know how to work, she decided to apply for a low position in the queen’s castle, to learn how to.

She learned how to cook, clean, and appreciate her friends.

Even though this maid did not know how to love back, she knew how to love herself and love someone else. She knew what it meant to love someone, that feeling in your heart. When she heard the queen was holding a contest to see who was worthy to earn the position of ruling beside her, and almost anyone, who were willing, were allowed to enter, she was ecstatic! Rushing back to her small chambers she quickly got herself ready and hurried to the arena

During the competition, the queen found someone who particularly caught her eye. It was a person whom she had seen before, in the castle, the maid! Back then they had helped her with some of the problems she’d had and they’d had a good time chatting until dark. It was then the queen fell in love.

Her parents would never approve of her marrying or ruling with someone of a lower status, but the fact that she held this contest was that anyone she herself found worthy enough could be with her, commoners and royals alike could compete and win.

Now that the queen had seen her love again, she immediately halted the challenges and walked up to the maid. When the queen confessed her love, everyone was shocked!

The queen is confessing to a maid? What about this maid caught her majesty’s eye? Why is it that the queen is confessing and not the other way around? Later on, the queen became genuinely happy with someone she loved beside her, and the maid likewise.

However . . . this romance did not last forever as it did in fairytales.
