My Lion King Forum

Adilenne was left alone, again. She was worried about her sister, but she knew that she could take on everything herself. "I should care more about myself now!" she thought. "Will I be a good ruler? I never thought I'd lead anything. I don't want to disappoint my sister, parents, grandparents and brother!" All these thoughts were bothering her, so she sat on the bed, trying not to think too much for now on.

Kattina stopped by the stables on her way out, saying goodbye to Maximus and giving him a few apples, telling him to be a good boy. Afterwards, she walked into the streets of Corona, starting her new temporary life as a common citizen.

Kean waited his great-aunt and great-uncle impatiently, hoping that he'd meet Kattina very soon. He was greatly disappointed after he heard his great-aunt's story. So, that didn't turn out fine. He still couldn't stop thinking about Kattina, as he saw her as a princess on the white horse. That white horse seemed awesome too.

"I'm sorry, dear," said Montserrat, but she obviously wasn't sorry. "You deserve better than her, she's ugly and doesn't follow any rules!"

"She's not ugly and she shouldn't follow the rules! They are for stupid, brainless people like you! I'm leaving!"

"What?" asked Montserrat, now worried, as she knew her niece would kill her.

"As you heard," said Kean and went to his room to get ready. He hoped that his mother wouldn't be upset too much, but he had to find that girl, and he knew that he couldn't find her this way. But, he wasn't sure where her castle is.

He brought a bit of food and some clothes, and left his house. Probably forever.

Adilenne was very nervous. Now that she got over the fact that her sister left, she realized that she must inform her parents. She could have covered her sister, if she went for a few days, but she might be gone for months! She had to do it.

She came downstairs and saw her mother and father. She was pale.

"You alright, dear?" asked Rapunzel.

"Yes... and no... I'm not sure. Kattina left, and she might not come back any time soon. I thought you should know." She was shivering.

"WHAT? Are you kidding?" Now Rapunzel turned pale too.

Kattina walked through the streets, trying to stay in the shadows as much as possible since she hadn't changed her look yet and she didn't want anyone recognizing her. She didn't know exactly where she was going, but she knew that for at least two days she would be in Corona, trying to find the right boy. If she couldn't, then she would go to the next city, and continue until she was sixteen or until she found the One.

Eugene wrapped his arms around Rapunzel for support. "Adilenne, did she tell you why she was leaving?" he asked, trying hard not to worry about his eldest daughter.

Kean was now sorry he left, but it was way too late to come back. Plus, he might find her, which would be really good news. He brought enough things for him to eat and wear, so he didn't need to worry about those stuff. But still...

He didn't know Corona very well, since he was introverted and didn't like to leave his house. But, it might be time to explore. He had no idea where he'd end up but he was determined enough.

"She did, but she also told me that you should come up with that idea yourselves," responded Adilenne.

Kattina continued walking down the street, hiding behind buildings whenever someone came by. She had a couple close calls, but nothing happened any of the times, which she was happy about. She couldn't wait until the next day, when she would be able to buy some berries and dye her hair with them and change her look a little bit.

Eugene looked around, making sure Helga and Eliezer weren't around, and then asked, "Did she leave because of the whole marriage thing?"

Kean was wandering through the streets, now frightened. He hid from humans he encountered, trying to be as invisible as possible. Unlike Kattina, he wasn't famous, and that was good, so he didn't have to change his appearance way too much, but he still hoped he wouldn't have to talk to strangers. He was patting the dogs and cats he met, but he wasn't that happy about meeting other human beings.

***

"Mostly," said Adilenne. "She wished to find her husband on her own, without being under any kind of pressure, and without him knowing that she's a princess."

Kattina had begun to do some deep thinking, and when she saw another person walking towards her, she hid as quickly as she could, but she wasn't sure if she had been quick enough or not. She decided to wait and see.

***

Eugene nodded. "Of course she would, and I don't really blame her," he said. He looked at Rapunzel to see how she was handling this news.

Kean saw a girl standing 200 meters away from him. He didn't want to do anything to her, but when she went to hide, he thought that he must have scared her. He decided to apologize so he approached her in her hiding place, and just said: "Um... sorry I frightened you."

***

Rapunzel sighed. She couldn't deny it - what her daughter did was reasonable. "I just hope my parents won't be too upset."

"Why would they be?" asked Adilenne. "They don't even care about my sister, they only see her as the heir of the throne!"

Kattina tried to conceal herself in the shadows when the boy came toward her. "It's okay. You didn't scare me. I've just been hiding from people so that none of them recognize me and take me back home," she explained.

***

"That's exactly why they would get upset," Eugene said. "They want to follow the rules of the kingdom, and if they found out she disappeared to find her own future husband, they could be very upset, like what happened at dinner."
