NikMati - The Entitled Princess

There lives a princess who wants to be happy but doesn’t know how. She falls in love with a prince and despite his best effort to make her happy, he can tell the smile is not sincere. Although the princess lives in a blessed kingdom, her castle is not exactly what you call “home sweet home” as she faces many issues with her royal family and the work she is assigned to.

The stress of it all takes a toll on her and the prince tries his best to comfort her. However, the more he gets close to her, the more she distances herself from him. She claims he doesn’t understand the pain she is going through. Originally, the two share a lot of joyous and positive conversations together but as time goes on, the princess from out of nowhere tells the prince all his favourite topics do not interest her anymore and commands him to not bring them up again. This confuses the hell out of him. The prince then starts sending her gifts and food to make her feel better. This pleases the princess but doing this every so often somehow changes her for the worse. She becomes very entitled and less grateful with what she has.

The prince tries to explain that she’s not the only one who is facing difficulties in life. In fact, his beloved mother and brother recently have fallen ill from food poisoning and spends day and night making sure they are recuperating well. Her response to him is through a letter titled “what not to say to me when I’m sad.” This is the final nail in the coffin. The prince begrudgingly tells her that their relationship is over.

The princess cries and cries in the deepest corner of the ocean blue but there’s nothing more the prince can do to make her happy. He has done his damndest to make things work but it isn’t good enough for her. The best course of action is to move on. What’s the point of helping someone who does not appreciate a helping hand nor understands the value of gratitude? The prince departs and wishes the princess well and hopes she will find the peace and happiness she is looking for.
