The Princess Needs a Blanket

In my palace room, I sat on my bed. I’m a princess of this kingdom, yet I’m stuck in such an unattractive palace! Ugh! You know, since I have the time, I might as well do something for myself. Hmm, what do I need? Oh yeah, my blanket has been getting awfully bad, so I should get one of those. I wish I were my older sister, who gets everything as the eldest princess, but I guess I digress. Well, let’s go search the palace for a blanket!

Funnily enough, when I walked out of my room, no one was waiting for me, or even protecting my room. Maybe the guards were on break, I wasn’t sure, but it made my life easier. After all, I could freely roam without any of them trying to take away my freedom! So, as I wandered down the halls, the walls and passageways got more and more furnished till I arrived at the end of the hall, where the storage room sat. There stood a guard, blocking it. Now, all the stuff I needed was in there, so I just had to get in. I walked up to him and tapped him on the soldier.

“If you let me in, I’ll get you a raise.”

At this good news, the guard began to back away with money in his eyes, and I walked in behind him. Inside were riches galore, but I didn’t want any of that. I saw a nice, woolen blanket on the floor, so I picked it up and left. With a new blanket, I walked to my room and laid it on my bed. Now I can finally sleep in peace, in my bedroom in the palace. Ah, what a beautiful time it is, to be a princess with all my needs covered. I love my life, and I love to sleep.
