A Painful Setback

During the Fall semester in Geneva University, the princess came back to her castle from her public speaking class. She put her backpack next to her desk and looked at the syllabus for that class. She sat at her desk and pulled out her laptop and started writing her topic on how the kingdom can help the poor get back on their feet after they struggled to pay for their kids' education. Then, she heard a knock. She got up to open the door. It was the queen. "Hello, my sweet child.", said the queen as she smiled at her. "Mom?", said the princess as she looked at her in fear. "I see you got your head wrapped up in your education.", said the queen. "You may be lucky to live in a castle off campus, but you won't be able to stay long enough because you are going to fail all of your classes and run back to me." "No, you're wrong.", said the princess. "My scholarship helped me get into Geneva University, and I am willing to get my Master's Degree in Communications." The queen laughed at the princess and told her that she would never make something of herself. She also told her that people would give her the silent treatment for participating in class. The queen told the princess that no matter what she did, she would always be an awful person for existing in this world. The princess felt sad to hear this and started to cry. The queen told her that she could always come home and clean her castle if she wasn't able to afford to live on campus for four years. She even told her that she looked fat in her dress as she walked out of the castle and closed the door. The princess started telling herself that she was worthless and said that she hated herself. She sat on her bed and curled up into a ball. She was sobbing constantly. Then the prince came into the castle and checked on her. The princess didn't look at him. He asked her if she was okay, and she said no. She told him that her mom was hoping that she would get kicked off of campus for failing all of her classes. She told him that she was putting her down non-stop. Also, she told him that she was making fun of her goals. The prince became enraged and told the princess that the queen needed to stay away from her if she was going to keep mocking her. He told her that no matter what her mom said to her, she was always enough for him and his brothers. "You’re a smart lady.", said the prince. "You can do anything you put your mind to. You just have to believe in yourself." The princess and the prince hugged each other. The princess continued to cry. "But what if other people reject me for getting an incomplete for all of my homework assignments?", the princess asked. "Then it's their loss because no one should ostracize you for forgetting to finish your homework.", the prince replied. He told her that she should not worry about what other people think of her. He told her that she should focus on getting her education and focus on being herself. The princess nodded her head. The prince told her that he and his brothers were here for her if she needed some emotional support. She said okay as he rubbed her back with his hand. "Do you want to take a walk to clear your head?", the prince asked. "Yes.", the princess replied. The prince and the princess grabbed their things and left the castle to go for a walk.
