Princess kacang woke up, her vision fuzzy. She found herself in a carriage that was being pulled oleh a kusir and two horses. She peered out the window and didn't recognize the trail they were traveling on. She realized the door was locked and someone had trapped her inside. The last thing kacang could remember before waking up was finding her mother, Annalynne, waiting for her in her guest room at the Beast's castle. The memory of what had happened came flooding back to her...
"Mother!" kacang had cried when she walked into her room to find queen Annalynne. "What are anda doing here? How did anda find me?"
"Pack your things, Pea," queen Annalynne replied coldly. "We're leaving."
"What? No, I'm not leaving," kacang whined. "Besides, the last time I saw you, weren't anda the one telling me to run away? anda called me a royal bitch, I believe."
"Listen, anda silly girl," demanded the Queen. "There's been an arrangement. Prince Bartholomew, of the South Kingdom, wants anda to be his bride."
"Excuse me?"
"It's an incredible opportunity, for both of us," Annalynne's eyes glistened with greed. "The South Palace is two times the size of our castle. And the prince will buy anda and I countless new dresses, tiaras, pieces of jewelry and shoes."
"But, I can't," insisted Pea. "I've fallen in cinta with Conrad. He's stood oleh me through thick and thin."
"Leopold's son?" the queen was shocked. "Don't be ridiculous. He can't provide for you, he's a mere commoner. Pea, this news should have anda ecstatic. Until this offer, our entire kingdom never wanted to see anda again. They wanted anda dead. But if anda accept Bartholomew's proposal, anda can have your old life back. Everything will be as it was before...no better!"
"NO!" kacang yelled. She ran towards the doorway but a dark shadow blocked her way. It was one of the palace guards.
"Take her away quietly, we can't have her causing a scene, she'll thank me later," berkata Annalynne.
The guard forcefully put a drop of sleeping dust into Pea's eye and the princess felt herself lose consciousness...
Suddenly, the carriage came to a halt. A much larger carriage rolled its way selanjutnya to the one kacang was trapped inside. The same guard who had attacked her forced kacang into the larger carriage...where her mother sat patiently.
"MOTHER!" kacang was shocked. "What is the meaning of all this? I refuse to marry Bartholomew and anda can't make me...take me back to the Beast's kastil, castle at once and I'll consider letting anda live!"
"Fine, anda win," answered Annalynne. kacang was surprised at how easily she'd diberikan up. "We'll take anda back to the Beast's."
"Alright..." berkata kacang suspiciously. "By the way, how did anda find me?"
"Your tiara has a tracking device, did I forget to mention that when I gave it to you?" queen Annalynne pulled out a small envelope. "Peanalita, the only reason I'm agreeing to take anda back to that dingy kastil, castle is because I reckon Conrad is in cinta with you. I met him about an jam yang lalu and he asked me to give anda what I'm assuming is a romantic cinta letter. We'll just take anda to the South Kingdom to formally reject Bartholomew's proposal and then we'll bring anda back to Conrad."
"Oh, thank you, Mother!" kacang hugged the Queen. "I'm so glad anda understand. I know he's not rich but he's truly the one for me. And oleh the way, if anda ever have that disgusting guard put kidnap me again, I will put poison in your apel, apple martini."
"Fair enough," Annalynne smiled. "Conrad asked me to give anda this." She handed Princess kacang the envelope. "I bet he confesses his cinta for anda in that letter. Maybe there will even be a proposal."
Pea opened the letter excitedly...
Dear Pea,
I know that we have spent a great deal of time together recently and that we shared much passion. However, it saddens me to say that my passion for anda has run short. I've diberikan the matter a lot of thought and the truth is, anda are nothing lebih than a spoiled brat. Meeting Belle has opened my eyes and I now see that people can be beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. Thank anda for the memories but I think anda deserve a rich prince and I deserve a girl with an actual brain beneath her pretty face. Sorry it didn't work out.
Sincerely,
Conrad
"Whatever does it say?" Annalynne asked, faking curiousity while kacang read the letter she herself had written fifteen menit earlier.
"It...he..." kacang felt a tear trickle down her cheek. She crumpled up the letter. "I guess he doesn't feel the way I thought he felt. Once again, I'm in cinta with someone who doesn't cinta me back..."
"Oh, anda poor thing," the queen pretended to be heartbroken. "Well, at least now anda can see that true cinta exists only in fairy tales."
"Maybe you're right," kacang sighed. "Maybe I was just fooling myself. I just really thought he saw beyond my stunning good looks. He seemed to really understand me and...anyway, I guess it doesn't matter anymore. I should just go back to what I'm good at...shopping to fill my empty void."
"But you've been banished from our kingdom and if anda return, they'll execute you, how on Earth could anda get your old life back?"
"I suppose I could accept Prince Batholomew's proposal," Princess kacang considered the idea. "If true cinta is just a big fat lie, what's the point in sitting around depressed? I might as well just marry for money. At least that way, I get something good out of the deal."
"Now there's an idea," queen Annalynne felt victorious. "In fact, we've arrived at the South Kingdom..."
Pea looked outside the carriage window and saw a handsome prince waiting for her.
