"Okay Mom." You say. "You'll come and visit though?"
"Naturally." She says. "I'm not going to say no to a holiday in a palace."
You finish packing and say goodbye to your mother before getting back into the limo.
It's a short ride to the airport when you board a private jet.
"Wow." You say as you and Janet enter the plane. The interior looks like a luxury suite at a hotel.
"Please fasten your seat-belts." A stewardess directs you and Janet. "I will show you to your rooms after takeoff."
You, Janet and Queen Charlotte take your seats while the bodyguards file through a doorway to another section of the plane.
As promised, after takeoff you are shown to your room. "It's the most luxurious room I've ever seen." you tell Janet.
"And this is just the plane." She points out. "You lucky bitch. Why can't I be the princess?"
"You can't talk to me like that." You giggle as you throw a pillow at her. "I'm a princess. I could have you beheaded."
The ensuing pillow fight is interrupted by Queen Charlotte. "I think it's time to get you dressed for your arrival in Calonia. there will be photographers."
She opens a wardrobe, revealing a number of ornate dresses. She pauses momentarily before choosing a blue one, which she lays on the bed.
Next she opens a drawer. It takes a moment to register what you are seeing. the drawer is full of diapers and baby changing supplies like wipes and powder.
"Um." You say. "What are those for?"
"They are for you." Queen Charlotte answers. "It is tradition in Calonia that children are not potty trained until their eighteenth birthday. It reminds them that they are children and helps for strong bonds with their parents."
Janet lets out a giggle.
"That's nice for you." You say. "But I assure you I am potty trained. I won't be needing the diapers."
"It is an important tradition to our people." the queen informs you. "As the princess you can't be seen as ignoring our traditions. Especially since you were not born in Calonia."
"The people won't be able to see my underwear." You point out. "Let them believe I'm diapered."
"I'm afraid that won't work." She says. "It's difficult for the royal family to keep anything private. Such a secret would surely be leaked."
Janet bursts out laughing at her choice of words in that context. "Leaked!."
