The Knight and The Princess

Chapter 1

Princess Cadenza/Cadence  Pov (Point of View)

My name is Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, I'm a young mare, forced to be a grown up adult, and I am living in a different part of Equestria. I live with my father who is a king and decides my future, my mother who is queen and agrees with him. Buck my life. I hate living like royalty in this household. I feel imprisoned by them and their rules, also I have no friends. I wish somepony will take me away and free me from this prison.

I recently got done with my teachings today about the history of Equestria. Well forced to be taught, so I can be a intelligent princess for any suitor. Right, somepony please help me. I thought to myself as I lay down on my small bed from the long day of education. I sighed to myself as I walked towards a window. I looked out the window and I saw mares, colts, stallions, and fillies having fun.

I couldn’t help but feel jealous of the others ponies I saw. They were free to do whatever they want and I wasn’t. Every time I went outside of the household I was escorted by a guard or guards because my dad doesn’t want me hurt. A nice and good father trying to protect his daughter from danger, but the guards he sends with me, protect me from every single pony that I try to meet and befriend.

Sometimes I try to sneak away from the guards and apologies for their behavior. I get sighted and escorted back to the castle and I have to face my mother and father. I get punished just like any little filly would, for doing something bad.

“Why Cadenza? Why must you disobey me?!” My father asked me, a look of disappointment on his face.

I didn't dare speak back until he was finish so I let him. "Every time I give you guards to escort and protect you into the public you immediately run off. From now on, you are to stay in this castle until further notice."

Now normally I would obey my father but he crossed the line. I shouted at him, "That’s not fair! I deserve at least a little freedom from being in the castle all day! You can’t take that away from me!”

My father just glared at me. The kind of glare that could destroy half of Equestria, and make it look like a bad place to live. My mother just entered the room and asked my father, “What’s wrong dear?”

My father then looked at my mother then back at me, he then replied, “Our daughter Cadenza here leaves the guards and continues to disobey my wishes for her safety. So I’m punishing her by grounding her to stay in the castle. But she mouthed back to me that we’ve been imprisoning her.”

My mother then looked at me. She gave me the look of disapproval, I know what was coming. Normally, mother’s (like mine) are supposed to support their husbands (like my father) and their daughter’s (like me). Instead my mother supports my father instead of me, so she told me, “Cadenza, you are hereby to stay in the castle until further notice. Is that clear?”

I wanted to speak back, but instead I lowered my head in defeat, I know I’m losing this argument no matter what I do and what I say. I raised my head and looked at my parents with anger and I shouted at them, “I HATE YOU BOTH!!!!”

I then left the throne room with my parents in shock at what I just told them, and I ran towards my bedroom. I opened the door with my magic, I enter my room, slamming the door shut behind me. I locked it with my magic so nopony could enter. I then began to cry and sob loudly enough for the servants to hear me. I levitated a pillow over towards me and I cried into it.

Good thing the pillow is muffling my sobs and is absorbing my tears as I looked at the dark wet spots. I put the pillow back down on my bed, and I walked towards my window, I saw mares, stallions, colts, and fillies all outside of their homes, enjoying the fresh air and their freedom unlike me.

I wish that I could have freedom from everything. Have somepony to love me for the way I am, and not just because I’m a princess, but love me just for being normal mare. My name is Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and this is my story. Of how I met my first friend, how I got my name changed, and how I met the love of my life.
