So I've been reading a few of the Barbie Princess and the Pauper essays that are floating around the internet (mostly Tumblr) and I've got a theory that Preminger killed the King, before the movie takes place.

First of all I'd like to give a lot of credit and a big thank you to @rin-the-shadow for their brilliant analysis of the timeline of the movie that helped me massively in figuring out when Preminger would have killed the king for the theory. Since the ages of the characters are not stated anywhere, or even implied, within the movie itself. So there's not a lot to work with in terms of timing.

I'd also like to thank my two close friends who helped me come up with this theory.

So first for a bit of a background, in the movie the King isn't mentioned at all, and we only see him once at the beginning of the movie, which is in the prologue. From this evidence, it's incredibly safe to say he is dead by the time the movie takes place. Now If we look at Rin's analysis and the evidence they use from the movie, they state Preminger comes into the role of Queen Genevieve's advisor when Annaliese is around 6 years old.

From here the timeline becomes messy, as we don't know when Julian becomes the tutor to Annaliese. I'm assuming that he becomes her tutor at least 3-5 years before the movie begins. This is a bit clearer if we again look at Rin's analysis, in which they theorise about the difference in time between Julian and Preminger's arrival at the palace: as they state with more movie evidence in which Julian can remember living in the village. As well as this Annaliese and Julian are really close at the beginning of the movie, which shows they've gotten to know each other really well. So I think that Julian is a bit older than Annaliese, not by much though, so I'm going to say he's about 2 years older than Annaliese.

This leaves about 5-6 years maximum for Preminger to get rid of any evidence he may still have lying around from him murdering the King, from him coming to the castle to Julian's arrival at the palace.

So for the theory itself, I think that Preminger murdered the King a year or two into his role as the Royal Advisor. Now you may be asking why Preminger would kill the King?

That's because I think the King was incredibly close to discovering Preminger's plan to steal the gold, so he decides to murder him in order to truly get rid of him, and keep his plan secret. This is because the King was probably the smartest out of him and Genevieve at the time, therefore the King would question Preminger more. And lets be real for a moment he probably realised that Preminger is clearly evil. While Annaliese would be about 7 or 8 according to the timeline, so she'd be too young at the time and less of a concern to Preminger.

Now by doing this, Preminger in fact gets a few things out of murdering the king. The main one being that he can keep his plan secret much longer, allowing him a greater chance at succeeding. The second thing he gets out of this, is now an increase of power through Queen Genevieve.

Throughout the movie, it's shown that Preminger has Queen Genevieve completely under his thumb, a massive example being when he proposes to her (we'll be coming back to this piece of evidence later). And from this we can assume that for a while before the start of the movie, Preminger was essentially making the decisions for the Kingdom while manipulating Genevieve into agreeing with him. Or making it look like she's the one truly making the decisions. (Because as much as I love Genevieve, it's clearly shown, at best she's completely dependent upon Preminger, and at worst dumb on her own)

Once Preminger kills the King this leaves grieving Annaliese and a vulnerable Queen Genevieve. She's now a widow, with a kingdom and a child to not only look after, but make sure she's an experienced heir to the throne. On top of that she's going to be grieving and that's going to make things a lot harder for her.

This is where Preminger's manipulation of Queen Genevieve truly begins. Through her grief Preminger can manipulate her by making it seem like he's helping her work through her grief, while also making it seem like he's the answer to her problems of taking care of the kingdom. As a result this increases the power and wealth Preminger holds, whilst making Queen Genevieve completely dependent on him over time.

This leaves the timeline looking like this:

.Genevieve and the King become a couple

.Annaliese is born

.Preminger is hired as the Royal Advisor when Annaliese is about 6

.The King is murdered by Preminger when Annaliese is about 7 or 8

.Julian is hired

.The events of the movie happen

All that is left now is to figure out how the King was murdered. Now if you've seen the movie or have seen a review, you know that when he has to, Preminger is 100% willing to murder people. This is shown when he tries to murder Annaliese and Julian by causing a cave-in, within the Royal Mine. Which happens because Julian and Annaliese are smart enough to realise that Preminger is evil. And by this point murder is Preminger's only option to secure his plan.

The evidence is also important, as it reinforces how experienced Preminger is when it comes to manipulating Genevieve, because the next two scenes are when Preminger exposes Erika and then the proposal scene. The proposal scene shows how he uses Genevieve's own grief against her, to marry her in order to become king (and completely disregarding any emotions she may have about this situation). It not only shows that he has total power over her, since she doesn't even make a verbal response she just turns around and holds her hand out for the ring to be placed on her finger. It also shows that he is very used to doing this and knows that in this situation all he has to do is present himself as the solution to her problem. But this time he's gotten so desperate and thinks that he's won so he doesn't even bother hiding his evil intent from Genevieve. As by this point he's managed to figuratively and literally back her into a corner where he is her only option.

Going back to how Preminger murdered the King, he has a few options for how he can do it.

He can make it look like an accident or natural causes

He can make it look like someone else murdered him

Not care at all how it looks and get rid of the evidence later

Again from looking at the movie, when he tries to murder Annaliese and Julian by collapsing the mine, he at least tries to make it look somewhat like an accident (at least I think he does, please correct me if I'm wrong). So I'm more inclined to go with option 1 for his method. We also have to remember that the movie is set loosley somewhere in the 16th century. So there's more ways to get away with a crime, and it's before Julian arrives at the palace, meaning Preminger has less to worry about when he commits the murder.

Preminger also seems like the type to not have much physical involvement in a murder, that is yet again shown in the mine collapse scene. So I'm going to say that Preminger most likely poisoned the king.

This is because poison was widely available at the time, with apothecaries selling poisons as some poisons had functions apart from murder. This means that he can easily get it and get more if he ever needs to.

So to summarise the theory, Preminger murders the King because he's coming too close to discovering Preminger's plan to gain power and chooses to kill him by poison. This leaves Genevieve vulnerable to Preminger's manipulation that while not making him just yet, gives him a bigger increase of power while pushing his plan further along. Then the events of the movie occur that force him to change his plans and in turn bring about Preminger's downfall and defeat.

So that's it! Sorry this got a bit long.

Thanks for listening to my rambles.

@savagemia ( Annaliese & Mia )

"Oh!" Annaliese gasped. The Queen had been quite on-edge for the last few days, the slightest unwarranted presence causing her to jump in her own skin. Her heart had raced at the sudden surprise appearance of her sister's dear friend. Her hand flew to her chest as felt the pounding of her heart against her chest, drawing deep breaths to quiet herself. "Forgive me, princess, I am easy scare these days." She breathed again. "How are you, dear?"

Group A, Round 4, Poll 1:

Propaganda under the cut

Preminger

Preminger's entire relationship with Queen Genevieve is built off of Gaslighting, Gatekeeping and Girlbossing her. He is stated to be the son of a peasant and rose to become the Queen Genevieve's main advisor. He then steals all the gold in the Kingdom making it go bankrupt and he never tells anyone apart from his minions about this. He kidnaps Princess Annaliese and writes a note, that makes it seem to Queen Genevieve that she's run away instead of being kidnapped. Then he tries to kill Princess Annaliese and tells her mother Queen Genevieve that she died in a mine accident caused by Julian the Princesses tutor. Then on the same day as he told her, that her daughter was dead he proposes to Queen Genevieve by figuratively backing her into a corner and giving no option to say no. Truly a master of Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss.

GLaDOS

I mean, obviously.

"Meine Süsse, weine nicht."

"In the middle of The Great War, Major Gilbert Beilschmidt fell in love with Annaliese Von Edelstein- an Austro-Hungarian Red Cross nurse who took care of him during his convalescence. A woman whose soft, beautiful lilac eyes were easily showing sympathy to the soldiers on both sides of the battlefield.

...And that was how their doomed fate started. For her, to be kind in the wrong time. For Major Beilschmidt, to let his emotions beaten his reason. But never shall the Major regret his fatal decision when he protected Miss Edelstein, because to still maintain humanity, love and be loved in the most horrid time would be and always a blessing."

OP's note:

Meine Süsse, weine nicht: My sweet, don't cry.

I truly like the name Annaliese for FemAustria (NyoAustria). But I think I will call her Anna for short if I post about her again.

Feel kinda bad when I have to bully Fem Austria in my story because she is my muse (such a beauty, especially when she cries. Maybe that's why I love being mean to her. I'm sorry my princess!).

For me, Prussia x Fem Austria always have an element of poetic tragedy which I craved for. So in my universe, they only got their happiness in modern setting where they don't have to worry about complicated politics and wars (this apply for both nation ver or human au).

But Gilbert deserves all my meanness and I'm not feel remorse a bit. LoL.

Ooh, how about Legend of Zelda Princess and the Pauper AU, and/or Sunflowers?

-Sky Floor

Hehehe >:3

Princess and the Pauper AU (super excited about this one tbh)

Basically the Barbie movie in Legend of Zelda context. Princess Annaliese is BotW Zelda, Erika is Malon, Julian is BotW Link and King Dominic is OoT Link. Then Preminger is Ghirahim and his two henchmen are two of the bosses in Skyward Sword, but all I have in this doc is the first "chapter" which is basically part of the opening number XD

“Oh, we’re late, late, late!” Chancellor Cole said. “We’ve got twenty maximum— twenty-two minutes, for your royal fitting then it’s move, move, move, to your speech at the historical society! After that we have to rush and I mean rush! To the Horticultural Society Tea, and then there’s your math lessons, your geography lessons, your science lessons. . .” Zelda drowned out the rest of the chancellor’s ramblings as she focused on the bouquet in her hands. It was going to be fine, she told herself. It was all going to be fine. She looked up at the wall-length mirror she stood in front of. Seamstresses gathered around the hem of her dress, finalizing the last of the stitching. The dress was everything that she had imagined in a wedding dress: white with pink and gold accents. She should have been feeling happy, or excited. What else should she be feeling on the days leading up to her marriage? But things weren’t like what she imagined they would be. She lowered the bouquet, handing it to one of the waiting maids. The seamstresses were just about done when Zelda lifted up her skirts and walked over to the balcony. She took in a deep breath of the fresh crispness of the air. The only feeling of freedom that she is close to getting these days. As her wedding was drawing closer and closer, it seems the less and less she got. She chuckled slightly to herself. How selfish she was. She was a princess, destined to fulfill the responsibilities no one wants. It was her duty to be in certain places when asked, to smile and never complain, to know everything and be there for everyone. If not her, then who? Princess Zelda reached the edge of the balcony, looking down into the castle courtyard. Guards patrolled the labyrinth hedges, taking their duties too seriously. She smiled, recognizing one guard dressed in a different uniform. He always patrolled the side of the castle where Princess Zelda lived, if he was not close by attending to his bodyguard duties. Link passed into view, looking as stoic as ever. He noticed from the corner of his eye the princess’s watchful gaze, then suddenly straightened his posture, snapping his hands behind his back. Very exaggerated, he walked without bending his knees, scrunching his face in mock seriousness. Zelda burst out laughing. It seemed like magic, how he always seemed to know how the princess was feeling all of the time. It was one of the characteristics she loved about him. “Having fun, are we?” asked a voice. Zelda snapped her attention behind her. The queen stood there, her expression ladened with age and worry. Her mouth turned up into a tired smile, seeing Zelda’s rosy cheeks fading to normal. “I know how you feel about your bodyguard, but it is vital that you marry King Link. It’s the only way to take care of our people.” “I know, it’s my duty,” Zelda sighed. It felt uncomfortable, how the name of her fiance carried the same name as the man she loves, despite being two completely separate people. It made her feel even more like a traitor, despite her Link knowing the circumstance. “Oh, look!” the queen said, turning back towards Zelda’s room. “Another engagement gift has arrived!”

Sunflowers

It was tradition that after a ceremony was completed, the royal family would be paraded around Castle Town. This time it was just Zelda, atop of her white steed as if she was some prize that all of Hyrule needed to see. (Well, she wasn’t completely alone; she had the company of a dozen or so guards separating her and the crowd of onlookers, plus the champions, but they hardly counted.) Hylians and visiting races looked up at the princess with wide, disbelieving eyes, as if this was the one destined to save all of Hyrule. This pathetic excuse for a princess. If there were any admiration in their eyes, it would be towards him. The knight who carried the sword of destiny upon his back. She tried to ignore him, but ever since they left the castle grounds he had kept his eyes on her. Never leaving. Never faltering. Not even when she had twisted back and glared at him did he ever release his gaze. He never even spared her the humiliation when he didn’t turn away to pretend he wasn’t looking. It was dreadful. The captain of her entourage of guards looked back, then raised a fist to stop. Zelda pulled the reins on Storm, to which he gave an unpleasant nicker. What’s the meaning of this? Zelda thought. She turned back, only to see the champions clustered around something. Someone? From between the slim forms of Mipha and Urbosa, Zelda could see Link. He was balancing on his toes, sitting on his ankles, face-to-face with a young girl. The young girl was squealing, grinning up at each of the five champions. She handed Link a bundle of something, then whispered in his ear. He nodded, before standing up and patting the young girl on the head. She caught the murmured “awe”s among the parents, seeing the girl in such a smile that if it were possible she might possibly explode. The champions resumed their positions, each murmuring about what happened. Revali was no doubt complaining, but Mipha was giggling; a blush fading from her pale face. Urbosa and Daruk were smiling as well, talking to each other. Link was as silent as ever, walking alone in front of the four champions. But in his hands was something odd. Six sunflowers tied together with a blue ribbon. Zelda shouldn’t be surprised. Sunflowers were common among Hyrule Field. So it would be expected that people would pick them. But what struck her as odd was why Link would stop for a child, and then accept such a common gift. Especially now, in the middle of the parade? Upon deeper reflection, she could see why. He’s putting up an act, just like her. Only he was better, gaining favor with the common people. That must be why they love him so much. She flicked Storm’s reins, and the white horse trotted forward, leaving behind the feeling of emptiness starting to develop in her stomach.

Princess Annaliese Spotted Entering Duke of Margate's Luxury Penthouse!

There's no denying it; they ARE together!

Yesterday afternoon paparazzi were tipped off that Her Royal Highness Princess Annaliese would be escaping to her forbidden beau's home for the weekend!

Sans her trusty bodyguards, the princess made it almost too easy to catch her arrival to the Sandoval Estates luxury apartment building. The building is located in the financial district of downtown Windenburg and caters to the elite of the elite. The price for buying a condo on the lower levels alone is well over §2,000,000!

The (very much MARRIED) Duke of Margate owns the entire top two floors of the building and lives there when the House of Lords is in session for the season. Every year for the past ten years his wife, Duchess Mariah, has lived there with him...that is until earlier this year when she strangely decided to stay behind in Margate for the spring session. We have to wonder if perhaps the Duchess has known something was going on between these two for awhile?

(Above: Cool as cucumber, Princess Ana was anything but embarrassed being spotted entering her rumored affair partner's home. Perhaps this was, in fact, a planned encounter with the paps on her part?)

No formal announcement of a split between Duke Alexei and Duchess Mariah has come though, so what in the world is HRH doing giving us a soft launch of her relationship? An insider in the princess's camp claims she's tired of waiting around for the "inevitable" divorce.

"The thing you've got to know about Ana is that she's patient and sweet, yes, but once that patience has run out the claws can and will come out. She's always gotten what she wants and right now what she wants is her man to be HERS in private and in public."

Our source further claims that HRH is pushing the Duke to make a move with the divorce. According to them, the Duke and Duchess of Margate have been separated for over two years and the Princess is tired of the Duchess dragging her heels when His Grace has clearly moved on with his life.

(Above: Out with the old wife in with new? HRH showed off her custom mint colored designer bag and thousands of simoleons worth of jewelry. Her chic sunglasses also cost over §25,000!)

Princess Ana, who has maintained a "perfect" reputation throughout the years compared to her older brothers, has shocked the nation by becoming embroiled in this affair; not only because she's pursuing an older, married man but also because the Duke of Margate has often stood against her father, His Majesty the King, more often than not when it comes to the whole House of Lords vs the Monarchy situation.

While no official statement has been made on this matter by the Palace (which told us that it "does not speak on the personal lives of the Royal Family" when we reached out for a comment), we can't help but believe that His Majesty is furious. Especially after rumors have surfaced that Princess Ana has recently been turned away from having an audience with her father.

(Above: A cunning fox? HRH enters the known home of rumored affair partner, the Duke of Margate.)

Despite the negative press and rumored strain on her relationship with her father, HRH has maintained a calm demeanor, especially during the ambush yesterday by the press. HRH refused to make any comment to the questions the paps were shouting at her and was polite as ever while going on her way. The sly little glance she gave us as she entered the building certainly leads us to believe that this is all a part of her plan after all...

Miraculous Barbie: Princess Marinette & Socqueline the Pauper

Welcome to Part 3 of my Barbie movie adaption series, with Marinette and Socqueline in the lead this time! @artzychic27 @imsparky2002

“Live your dream.”

CAST:

Marinette Dupain-Cheng as Princess Annaliese

Socqueline Wang as Erika

Adrien Agreste as Julian

Jessica Keynes as King Dominick (but a Queen obviously)

Bob Roth as Preminger

Sabine Cheng as Queen Genevieve

Audrey Bourgeois as Madam Carp

Margo Jorgensen as Bertie

Louis Secousse as Nack

Xavier-Yves Roth as Nick

Tikki as Sarafina

Plagg as Wolfie

Kouki as Midas

Wayzz as Herve

And so our story begins…

Long ago, on a cold Winter’s day in a kingdom high on a mountaintop, something amazing happened. Two identical baby girls were born at the exact same moment!

The first, a baby princess, and the king and queen were overjoyed to welcome their precious new daughter, and Princess Marinette would have only the finest!

The second, Socqueline, was the daughter of two common paupers, who loved her every bit as much as the king and queen loved the princess. But due to their poverty, they worried greatly about how they could provide for their baby daughter.

Years went by, and Marinette would be taught her royal responsibilities, while Socqueline worked long, grueling hours as a seamstress for the cruel Madam Audrey Bourgeois. With such different lives, it was no surprise that their paths never crossed…until fate decreed differently.

It was the unfortunate truth that Marinette’s kingdom was on the brink of falling into destitution, for all the gold in the mines had run out! Greatly worried for her people, the now widowed Queen Sabine made the decision to betroth her daughter to the wealthy young queen of a nearby kingdom, Jessica.

On one fateful day, Marinette was preparing for the various events she had to attend throughout the day, wishing that for once in her life, she could just have a day to herself. At the same time, in the village, Socqueline works in the dress shop, alongside her friend, fellow seamstress Margo, dreaming of the day she can pay off the debts that keep her in Audrey’s service, and pursue her dream of being a singer.

As Marinette continues preparing for the day, she gazes wistfully out the window at her royal tutor and friend of many years, Adrien. If she could have her own choice, he would be the man she married. It’s then that she’s visited by her mother, bearing another engagement gift from Queen Jessica, which Marinette graciously accepts.

Miles away, in the royal mines, two young men, Louis and Xavier, are digging up the very last of the gold for their employer, as Louis berates Xavier for placing a ‘useless rock’ in the cart. (Which is revealed to actually be a precious geode as it cracks on the ground) They panic and try to hide when they hear their boss approaching, but Bob Roth, the queen’s ‘loyal’ advisor finds them anyway, accompanied by his pompous doberman, Kouki, and Louis presents him with the last of the mine’s gold.

Bob dramatically proclaims his plan for the gold, to marry the princess under the promise of using his funds to save the kingdom, thus becoming king. (Even his evil henchmen are a little eeked, because Bob is like 40, while Marinette just turned 18…) Bob becomes angry, however, when Louis reveals the queen’s plan for the princess to marry Queen Jessica, but quickly thinks of a way to circumvent this…setback.

He’ll have his henchman abduct the princess, claiming she ran away, just long enough for the wedding to be called off. Only then will he bring her back, and be promised her hand by the grateful queen! (Or so he thinks. Queen Sabine’s not going to marry her daughter off to a man her age, but Bob’s ego keeps him from realizing that.)

Back at the palace, Marinette’s beloved pet cat, Tikki, is being chased by Kouki through the palace, though she cleverly evades him by convincing him he lost his prized golden tooth. While this is happening, a carriage arrives from another kingdom, carrying the ambassador and a ‘page’ who is actually Queen Jessica in disguise, wanting to at least meet her bride before the wedding.

In Marinette’s quarters, Adrien visits the princess and she engages in their usual banter, informing him that some gold that was supposedly found on the borders of the kingdom is actually iron pyrite. She is confused when he refers to her as ‘your highness’, asking why the sudden formality. Adrien explains that Queen Sabine sent for her to meet the ambassador. ‘Page’ Jessica presents the Queen with another gift for the princess, while the ambassador inquires about a planned date for the wedding. Queen Sabine suggests a week from that day, which incites Bob to cry out in alarm, though he quickly covers himself.

Back in Marinette’s room, the princess stands on the balcony, gazing longingly beyond the walls, when Adrien approaches her. He invites her with him to see the village, and Marinette is thrilled to be out in her kingdom for the first time, accompanied by Tikki, and unbeknownst to them, Kouki… Adrien shows her around the village, even giving her her favorite flower, roses. As Adrien goes to fetch them some food, Marinette sees people boarding up their homes and shops, once again worrying greatly about the state of her kingdom. It’s then that she hears a beautiful voice singing, and goes to follow it…

Socqueline has managed to get away from the dress shop for a moment and is singing in the town square as she often would, her roguish cat Plagg (who barks and behaves like a dog!) is collecting coins in a can from the people who enjoy her singing. Shortly after Marinette arrives to hear her better, Madam Audrey shows up, confiscating the money Socqueline earned and ordering her to get back to work, deriding her dreams of singing.

As Socqueline gathers her things, someone drops a coin in her tin and compliments her song. She stands to thank them…and is shocked to find she seems to be looking back at her own face, absent a mirror. Marinette is equally stunned, and the two can only stare in awe. While this is happening, Tikki is sending flirting vibes to Plagg, and you know he’s picking up on that.

The two girls introduce themselves, Socqueline bowing respectfully as she realizes she is speaking to the princess. The two begin to talk and realize they’re actually quite a bit alike, unhappy in their current situations and wishing to escape them. They also discover the only real physical difference between them is that Socqueline doesn’t have a crown-shaped birthmark on her shoulder like Marinette does.

It’s at that moment that Adrien returns, stunned by the uncanny resemblance between the two girls. Unfortunately, Kouki also decides to make his appearance and begins to chase Tikki, with Plagg rushing over the rooftops to come to her aid. Kouki backs Tikki into a dead-end, only for Plagg to jump down in front of her and cause enough of a scene with his barking that Kouki runs off, Tikki knocking a bucket of rotten fish on his head in the process. Tikki then thanks Plagg for coming to her rescue, flirting a little in the process as their humans catch up to them.

Unfortunately, it’s at that moment Marinette must return to the palace, but not before she promises to have Socqueline come sing for the royal court one day, much to the other girl’s excitement.

Later that night at the palace, Tikki is lured from Marinette’s room as the princess is sleeping by a toy mouse, and captured in a crate. Awakened by her cat’s alarmed mewls, Marinette goes to investigate, calling for Tikki. Just as she locates and frees Tikki, she’s captured in a sack and taken away by Louis and Xavier!

In an isolated cottage deep in the forest, Marinette is locked in a back room while Tikki is thrown out into the dirt, much to her anger. It’s here that she meets Wayzz, a kind elderly horse. Marinette demands that she be released, but her cries fall on deaf ears. It’s then that Bob shows up, checking that they have Marinette and that she has no clue he’s involved. Now knowing Bob’s true nature, Wayzz assists Tikki in getting back into the house to help her princess, unfortunately through the dusty and dirty chimney.

Back at the palace, Queen Sabine goes to wake her daughter, accompanied by Bob, who ‘finds’ a note on the princess’ desk, informing the distraught queen that she has run away to escape her arranged marriage. Bob assures the queen he will send out search parties immediately. However, when they go to inform the ambassador, Adrien notices something strange about the note. It’s scented with lilac, when Marinette has only ever used rose to scent her stationary… Suspicious, he resolves to go look for Marinette himself.

He makes his way to Madam Audrey’s dress shop, and asks to speak to Socqueline. The seamstress is thrilled, believing Marinette sent for her to perform at the palace. Adrien manages to get her attention, and explains the dire situation, and that he needs Socqueline to act as Marinette until he can find the real one. Socqueline is incredibly apprehensive, knowing the trouble this could mean, but agrees to do it to help her new friend.

They make their way to the palace, where Adrien gives Socqueline a crash course in behaving as a princess should while Plagg enjoys their new housing situation. After a while, Socqueline begins to get the hang of things…and learns how Adrien really feels about the princess.

Just as the ambassador and his ‘page’ are about to leave, Adrien presents ‘Marinette’ before the court (taking the queen’s glasses so to further protect their secret), which alarms Bob. The ‘princess’ apologizes for running away, assuring it won’t happen again. With the wedding back on, the ambassador assures that the young queen will be there tomorrow to meet her bride and prepare for the wedding. In a huff, Bob excuses himself to go see to ‘preparations’, unknowingly shedding some pine needles, which Plagg picks up. He brings them to Adrien, who wonders what the queen’s advisor is doing in the western forest…but he can’t follow him just yet, as the queen wants to hear how he found her daughter.

Meanwhile, back at the cottage, Marinette tricks her two captors into opening the door by acting as if she is being attacked by a ‘ghost’ (Tikki under a bed sheet). Thankfully, Louis and Xavier are both dimwits and it works like a charm, the princess escaping the house and fleeing in Wayzz’s cart.

Adrien arrives in the forest, following Bob and ends up at the cottage as Louis is trying to cover up Marinette’s escape (with Xavier posing in bed as Marinette), which obviously fails. Bob wonders why Marinette wouldn’t tell her mother she was abducted and deduces something is off… Unfortunately, Adrien accidentally alerts them to his presence as he discovers Bob intends to become king, and is summarily captured.

Marinette arrives at the palace gates, but is turned away by the guards, who believe the princess is already inside, much to her confusion. She makes her way to the village, where she’s spotted by Audrey and dragged back to the dress shop. It’s here she meets Margo, and is outraged when Audrey insults the girl for not having her work done, calling her a ‘lazy cow’. Audrey laughs when Marinette identifies herself as the princess, claiming she knows the girl personally and calling her ‘Socqueline’, and realization dawns on Marinette. Thankfully, Margo does believe her! She assists Marinette in tying a message to Tikki’s collar with her insignia ring, and the cat slips out.

The next morning, Socqueline wakes up in the princess’s bed and is still getting used to behaving as a princess should. The maid draws a bath for her, and during this time, she hears Plagg trying to meow, in order to help them fit in better, but she assures her canine feline (through song) that he is perfect just the way he is! Queen Jessica happens to hear her singing, and makes the decision to reveal herself as the disguised page.

The next day, Bob escorts Socqueline to meet with Queen Jessica, to discuss plans for the wedding. There’s an obvious spark between the two, as they discover their mutual love for music, performing a duet together. The two spend the day together, a bond quickly forming, only increasing Socqueline’s guilt about her deception…

That night, Tikki finally makes it to the palace, but the one to find her is…Bob! He makes his way to the dress shop, and Marinette is relieved to see him, as he quickly hurries her away. Marinette’s relief quickly turns to horror when Bob imprisons her in the royal mines, where he’s also thrown Adrien! He reveals his plan is to now marry the queen instead of the princess, and leaves for the castle, collapsing the entrance to the mine to trap the two and Tikki, Wayzz watching on with guilt.

Back at the palace, Jess presents Socqueline with a beautiful ring to commemorate their blooming feelings and the engagement…just as Bob storms in and has guards apprehend Socqueline, exposing her as a fake by showing she doesn’t have the royal birthmark, devastating Queen Sabine. Bob claims she was in cahoots with Adrien to dispose of the princess and take over the kingdom, and shows them the ring he held onto as proof of Marinette’s ‘demise’ in the mines where she was held captive. As the queen grieves, Socqueline protests that she was only trying to help the princess, but is thrown in the dungeon, as Jess can only watch in shock, and Plagg quickly follows.

Back in the throneroom, Bob proposes to the queen to save the kingdom by offering to split his fortune (the stolen gold from the mines)…if she marries him. Reluctantly, Queen Sabine agrees to save her people from starvation and destitution.

Outside the dungeons, Wayzz locates Plagg and asks if he is the friend Tikki spoke of. He takes him to the mine, where Adrien is digging with a pickax to try and free himself and Marinette, and Marinette discovered the mine’s abundance of beautiful geodes. They confess their love for one another, and it’s then that Plagg is able to reach them by digging up an old mine shaft. Adrien continues digging, and accidentally opens a spring of water! Moving more rocks, the cave quickly begins to flood, and they ride the rising water up in an old mine cart.

Back in the dungeons, Socqueline lulls the guard to sleep with her singing, and is able to steal the key, freeing herself. But as she runs, she is grabbed by another guard, who is revealed to be Queen Jess in disguise! She doesn’t believe Socqueline to be the villain Bob made her out to be, and the two flee the dungeon just in time to meet up with Marinette and Adrien, and plan to stop the wedding.

In the palace courtyard, the wedding between Bob and the queen is beginning. But before they can say their ‘I do’s’, Marinette arrives, showing her birthmark as proof of her identity, overjoying Sabine. Marinette reveals Bob and his plans and Sabine calls for his arrest. Bob flees the guards on Wayzz, Adrien and Jess giving chase on their own horses, while Marinette and Socqueline apprehend Louis and Xavier. Tikki and Plagg confront Kouki, who loses his precious golden tooth ramming into a table when he charges at them, causing him to run off in despair.

Wayzz, fed up with Bob’s mistreatment, turns around and carries Bob right back to the guards, allowing him to be arrested…after he’s thrown into the wedding cake!

Marinette explains to her mother that Adrien is the one she wishes to marry, and Sabine wants her daughter to be happy, but knows they also must provide for their people. Thankfully, Marinette has a plan: the beautiful crystals in the geodes! With her heading the effort, a new jewelry industry blossoms, saving the kingdom from bankruptcy!

And as for Audrey, without the business from the castle, the cruel woman went out of business! And Margo opened up an even more successful dress and jewelry shop in her place!

Socqueline leaves the kingdom to pursue her dream of being a traveling singer, Marinette having paid off her debt to Audrey, but not before Jess gives her the ring back, which she accepts before she rides off to follow her heart.

Five years later, after Socqueline had traveled far and wide, she decides to return to the kingdom, reuniting with her friend the princess…and Marinette and Adrien had a beautiful joint wedding with Socqueline and Jess.

And they all lived happily ever after…along with Tikki and Plagg’s many, many, many kittens!

When you live your dream, you’ll find destiny is written in your heart! Leave your thoughts in the comments and reblogs, and keep an eye out for the next installment!
