Chapter 1: Introduction.
24 years ago, one cold wintry night, in a land far away, a Queen sat at her window, knitting and cooing to her bump when the knitting needle pricked her hand three drops of blood stained the white ground. She made three wishes, one was that she gets a girl as beautiful as the world had never seen before, second that she would be fair, just and gentle to all and third that she meets her Prince charming, who would take care and make her his priority. She wished and she got her wish, she gave birth to a beautiful little girl as beautiful as the world had never seen, the joy was seen across the kingdom. They decorated the entire kingdom in pink to mark the birth of their princess, dance and songs was heard and seen everywhere. The people visited the palace to get a glimpse of their princess and bought gifts for her, simple gifts filled with love. The king too was happy that he'd a heiress to the throne at last. The only one who wasn't happy was the evil old witch who was feared by all, she lived all alone in her crooked little cottage with her one-eyed cat. Her looks didn't suggest she was evil, as she was very pretty, she had a magic mirror which told the truth, showed the truth even. "Mirror mirror on the wall who is the prettiest of all" she asked it and it reflected her, until the day the princess was born. That day it reflected the princess and in her anger the witch refused to ask the mirror her question after that.
Meanwhile the princess grew up to be beautiful young maiden. She laughed and jested with the children; fair just to her people. Her people loved her. She was kind as she pretty.
The witch, yes she was alive, pretty still, who wouldn't if they had the magic to create portions to make them look pretty; she got over her anger with her mirror and popped the same question again. The mirror once again reflected sharon. That made the old witch seethe in anger and burn with jealousy. She made a wicked plan to kidnap the princess and steal her beauty.
Now the princess had a brother called Rey, who had gone far for his studies and to pursue his passion dance. His best friend Swayam was also a passionate dancer and was the prince of the neighbouring country. He was a charming young lad of 18, known to the world as the most handsome. Rey once had visited Swayam and had met his sister, Taani there. And it was love at first sight for him. Slowly with the help of Swayam he wooed his lady love and succeded in gaining her love. Now to pacify his dad he'd asked Swayam for help and had bought him home, once they' finished their studies. Swayam was greeted courteously at the palace. Sharon was away visiting the kingdom that day. She came home, looking very messy, her skirt was soiled, her face was dusty, yet she looked pretty. Swayam was sitting and talking to Rey when she entered and cast a weird look at her thinking she was one of the maids. "Can't your maids be better dressed?" he asked Rey. Rey was surprised and he looked in Sharon's direction. Sharon turned at the comment glared pointedly at swayam and walked towards Rey. "And so much of attitude they have, actually this particullar one over here." he scoffed. Rey tried to stop him from completing it. But alas it was too late sharon heard both his comments. She reached toward them. "Sis..." rey started greeting, when sharon cut across "Sire would you both like a cup of tea?" she asked confusing Rey. One look at her and Rey understood her intentions. He altered his sentence, smiled at her and replied yes. "And you sire?" she asked pointedly, glaring while turning to Swayam. "Yes please" he said. She turned to get changed and told the maid to get tea. "Well your maid has a lot of attitude I must say, she walks and behaves as if she's the princess" Swayam commented as she turned away. Rey had to bite his tongue to check his laugh, while sharon smiled with a mischievous glint in her eye. "Well, prince let's see your comments in a short while" she murmured and went to change, leaving the best friends to plot and make the king agree to the proposal.
