With a flurry of preparation mostly done by talking mice dressed in tiny aprons and hats, Castle Awesome had never looked better. The walls gleamed, the floors shone softly, and Princess Zanzibelle herself was decked out in all the finery the pumpkin patch could create. At long last the day had arrived, and Princess Zanzibelle was determined that everything would be so far beyond perfect that Castle Suck would cower and hide their shame.

After the initial pleasantries were exchanged, a look of disconcerted recognition flashed across the face of Castle Suck’s elder statesman. This was the moment Princess Zanzibelle had been waiting for, and it was as though a beautiful daydream had come to life: never before had she been so praised with flowery prose as at that moment. It was so nice to see her again! Princess Zanzibelle really was their favourite princess, you know, but we had to give the castle to our princess from within! Castle Awesome sure is lucky to have you! You are highly skilled and beautiful to behold! We clearly made a mistake haw haw!

Princess Zanzibelle smiled a beatific smile, winked slyly at her people gathered behind her, and sagely suggested they get down to the business at hand.

Sometimes, it is satisfying to be me Princess Zanzibelle.
