Description

Continued from: [link]

The final part of a telling of Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Swineherd with Queen of Spades, :iconstars-in-well: 's OC as the narrator.

Beginning if you've missed it: [link]

Patches aka 'Poor Prince' : *to his nightingale* Come on dear friend
*Patches then walks away*
Loralei: ........WHAT?! GAAAAAAAAAAH! :iconforeveraloneplz:

Queen of Spades (narrating): and So Poor Prince Patches returned to his little kingdom, along with his dear nightingale friend. And there, he ran his kingdom smoothly and got on with his afterlife, hopefully he'd come across a better suitor for him to marry ^^

As for Princess Loralei, she was remained to wander across the land, banished from her kingdom forever as punishment for being ungrateful and spoilt- especially for turning down the honest gifts of a not-so-rich prince and showing her affections to a swineherd mainly to get gifts. From that day to this, you may come across her randomly singing tunes to pass her time....and she's wandering still...hopefully by then, she'll learn her lesson....

*picture then fades out to coloured flames and smoke as Queen of Spades closes the book*

Dummy Girl: Wow...part of me actually kinda feels sorry for that princess but *goes into pose you see here* at the same time, I think she rather deserved it. I mean, I'm not the nicest living doll/puppet in my school, but at least I'm not THAT greedy or ungrateful.

Queen of Spades: Oh yes, even the most mischevious of creatures DO have good points, we just have to look further and get to know them better :D

Dummy Girl: By the way, thanks for giving me a role in this story Queen, even if it was a small one :D Now I've got to head back to Scare School somehow ^^ See ya!
*dashes off with little wooden sounds*

Queen of Spades: Farewell little doll :D Oh that Dummy Girl, I have a feeling she'd get along well with one of my fellow theater spirits- mainly Rotori the doll-maker :D

The End :D

Enjoy :D

well if you makes you feel better about the prince finding a better suitor, some other versions have him marry one of the princess's maid servants or sister who loved him for who he is
