I am the daughter of the King and Queen. I am known as the princess of the village. I will be married off to a prince from another village very soon. A peace treaty will closely follow the wedding.
What do you mean? I AM the Princess. Who are you? The other Princess Penelope! The one with the crooked nose and the ample bottom...oh wait, I guess that is you. How dare you insult me! Do you know what I am capable of? Yes Princess, we all know what you are capable of. I guessing the stable hand knows more than most. How.. How do you even know about that. Listen you must not tell anyone. I am to be married very soon. If this news spreads there could be serious consequences. Do I look like the type of person that goes around spreading gossip?  Hmm.. Perhaps there is some way to assure that you keep your mouth shut. Any suggestions? That dancer over there is pretty cute, you wouldn't happen to know her name, would you? The one in the green gown? Her name is Cornelia. How about I introduce you? Here, bring her the key to my room and ask her to meet me there in one hour. You would like that wouldn't you? When I asked for suggestions on how to keep your mouth shut, I didn't mean for it to be pleasurable. Oh, so you only like those people who reek of horse dung, well I've heard that rumor before so I'm not at all surprised.
