2669. On becoming a princess © Bruce Goodman 19 March 2023

I have always been a bit cynical about these Commoners who marry a Prince and become a Princess? I’m sure there’s a great deal of ambition and lust for prestige hidden in there somehow. They marry a Prince and before you can blink they have at the very least become a Duchess. I had no idea it would happen to me. I was at university pursuing a degree in Etruscan Pottery. There was a bachelor Prince in the class chasing after the same advanced degree. He was handsome! Handsome, rich, titled, and available! What more could a common girl such as me want? Of course all the other females in the class went gar-gar. It was sickening to see grown women flouncing about trying to get noticed by someone with a title. Then something strange began to happen. One by one these women were dying. It was poisoning apparently. There were seven deaths over the course of the academic year. It started around the time the Prince started dating me. I had asked the Prince when he gets married what title would his wife get, and he said she would become a Countess or maybe a Duchess. But if his older brother died - who was the heir to the throne - then he (my Prince) would become the heir and his wife would become a Princess. Would you believe? Having married the Prince, here I am a Countess already. Good things take time. I’m quietly working on becoming a Princess. Contact Author Back to Index Next Story Previous Story
