(PROLOGUE:
10 years ago… the King Alford is a good and kind-hearted man and a loving father to his only daughter Princess Katherine and a good husband to Queen Margaret. Princess Katherine has been trained to use sword since she was three and now she is at seven, she does not find it anymore interesting. She is the only child so she spends most of her time alone inside her room kneeling down at the altar praying to the Lord that she be given a sister or perhaps a brother.
One night, the king decides to visit his daughter. When he is about to open the door, he pauses for awhile thinking that he might disturb her so instead of entering he just glanced at his daughter’s bed. He did not see her there. He saw her kneeling in front of the altar and overheard these words “My Lord, please give me a brother or sister… I don’t want to be alone…” The king steps back then closes the door slowly and walks to talk to the queen. When the queen heard this, she suggests that it is a good idea since there is no heir yet.
After a year, many servants notice that the queen is acting differently. She begins asking for so many unusual foods and nauseating. They conclude that the queen is pregnant. The queen decided to have a check-up to assure of this so she sends her personal obstetrician to the palace. The news scatters throughout the palace. This made Princess Katherine so happy. Every night, she would go to the master’s bedroom just to check on the stomach of the queen if is beginning to grow or not. Months passed so quickly and Princess Katherine can hardly wait to have her newly born sister.
Nine months later, Princess Katherine’s prayer was really granted. Now that she has a sister, she promised that whatever happens she will stay by her side and make sure that she’ll be safe.
Four years have passed and the two sisters spent their times together. They trained together and slept beside each other. Princess Katherine is expertising the use of different kinds of guns while Princess Rafiel masters the use of sword. Since the king is most of the time busy with his duties, he appointed his best friend, Sir Ramsey Sinclair, to look after his two daughters.
One afternoon, the two sisters played hide and seek inside their room. Princess Katherine was the “it”. Princess Rafiel decided to hide at a mysterious spot of their room when accidentally she lost her balance and pushed on a “switch” unknowingly. She called her sister’s attention. Then the wall behind her suddenly exposed a hole just in time Princess Katherine reached her sister’s place. The two stared through the empty hole and glanced at each other in amazement. Like as if they can read each other’s mind, they peeked and when they saw that it was safe, they entered and explored the tunnel. The tunnel led them to the master’s bedroom, the dungeon and outside the palace. The princesses promised each other that nobody should know what they had found out. Although they had an idea that the king and queen know something about this, they decided to keep this to themselves thinking that their parents would reveal this to them when the right time comes. After this, they went back to their room, pressed the switch and acted like nothing had happened.
Seven years later, Princess Rafiel is now eleven. Princess Katherine will turn eighteen in three months and the king and queen are now preparing for her birthday. They sent invitations throughout the kingdom and to other allied kingdoms as well. Then the night most people awaited finally came. The palace was decorated with extravagant blue and pink ornaments. Everything seems to be going fine when suddenly at the middle of the party; the king felt a sudden stinging pain in his heart. Everyone panicked and so the Queen Margaret asked the visitors to leave and phoned for medical assistance. The king was brought to his room. A few minutes later, the doctor arrived hastily. When the doctor was inside the room, the king insisted and said “I am fine. I was just too excited of my daughter’s eighteenth birthday. You may leave the room now. Thank you for coming anyway.” He looked at Princess Katherine and said, “I’m sorry I messed up your party.” Princess Katherine replied, “It’s okay dad, you are far more important to me than my party. Anyway, there’s always some other time.” The queen looked at the princesses and then the king before she said, “Why don’t we give the king a time to rest?” but the king said, “Why don’t we continue the party here?” and ordered that the food be carried to the room. Outside the room, the servants could hear sweet laughter and they seem to be enjoying the sound of it.The next day, the princesses approached the dining area with their faces lit with delight. Then the following days seemed to be ordinary ones, after eating breakfast, they are trained, then chat, attend the daily sessions with their personal teachers.
After a few months, the two sisters noticed that the king was getting weak. One time, Princess Rafiel was playing and decided to go to the kitchen for she was thirsty. She paused for awhile when she saw Sir Ramsey was making her father’s food when in fact it was not his duty. She saw that he was pouring a liquid substance. She ran towards her sister and told her what she had seen. Unfortunately, Princess Katherine did not believe her that she even defended Sir Ramsey.
The next day, Princess Katherine checked if Princess Rafiel was really telling the truth because Princess Rafiel used to tell stories that are mostly out of her imagination so she went to the kitchen, hid under a table, enough for her to have a clear view of the place and for her not to be noticed. Then, Sir Ramsey entered the kitchen and like how it was told to her, Sir Ramsey poured the liquid substance into the glass of fresh milk. Fortunately, when he left with the food, she saw that there was a spill of milk on the counter. Hurriedly, Princess Katherine took a sample of it and placed it inside a tube-like glass and went to her laboratory to take a look at the sample.
Inside the testing lab, she discovered that the sample contains toxin. She searched for that toxin and found out that this deteriorates the normal functioning of the heart. She cannot believe that Sir Ramsey, her father’s best friend, could do this to him. She told this to her sister and together they worked on how they could extinguish the effect of the toxin. After a week, they were able to make a liquid substance that would destroy the effect of the toxin. The following days, before Sir Ramsey comes into the kitchen, they replace the small bottles containing the toxin with the ones they prepared. This continued on until one time, Princess Katherine was caught and when she was asked what she was doing, she said “I just tasted my father’s food for it seems so delicious.” Sir Ramsey replied, “That’s not for you. You should have asked for permission.” Princess Katherine answered in a grumpy manner, “Why?! Why should I?” Sir Ramsey responded, “Oh, you’re forgetting your manners. That is especially made just for your father” And before Princess Katherine can say a word, Sir Ramsey had left the room. And this incident proved more of the real intentions of Sir Ramsey.
The next day, when the princesses woke up, they learnt from the servants that they are leaving for Paris Paris
Inside their room, the two talked about this matter and after a moment, they agreed of a plan. Then before they were about to leave, they kissed their parents good bye and promised that they will be back soon. Riding their limousine, they stared blankly outside the window as if not pleased of the surroundings. The airport was thirteen kilometers away and they had not reached half of it when the limo stopped at a gasoline station and the two asked the chauffer if they could take a pee. Because of Princess Rafiel’s acting, the chauffer was convinced. The two went to the Comfort Room and changed their outfits. They disguised into civilians and escaped unnoticed by their guards. The guards only noticed that the princesses were no longer inside the Comfort Rooms after fifteen minutes enough for the princesses to be far from their sight. The chauffer called Sir Ramsey and told what had happened. The princesses returned to the castle through hitchhiking and entered the palace through the tunnel they had discovered when they were still very young. Princess Katherine went to her room to get all the things they need while Princess Rafiel went on to check the king and queen. When Princess Rafiel reached the door at the master’s bedroom, she peeked and saw that the queen was being held by the guards and the king was separated from her but his hands were not tied. Then, she saw Sir Ramsey pointing his sword at her father’s heart. And after a short argument, Sir Ramsey struck his sword into King Alford’s heart. This was done in front of Queen Margaret. But the queen did not even move a muscle. Her eyes were full of fury although teary. Princess Rafiel who had seen every bit of action was stupefied but she tried to erase the incident from her mind and focused on her mother. The queen was taken into the dungeon and Princess Rafiel followed secretly. When the guards left, she stared at her mother. She saw her deep sorrow. She moved back and hastily went to where her sister was.
When she arrived at the laboratory, she saw all things were set. Princess Katherine saw her crying. When she asked why, Princess Rafiel told what she saw. Princess Katherine also cried but she showed her valor. They dressed in a cat suit and got their things and sneaked through the tunnel to the dungeon where their mother was placed. When they saw that the ghost was clear, they went to their mother. They looked for the remote that controls the lock of the cell but they were unfortunate. They talked to their mother for awhile, and then they gave the chip that detects heartbeat. Princess Katherine said, “Take and swallow this. This is something we worked hard to create, just in case, something like this would happen. This is an unvanquishable chip we designed. This is the only way to know that you’re safe.” Princess Rafiel added, “Be strong. We will come back and take what’s truly ours. ” Queen Margaret wondered, “How did the two of you get inside without being noticed by the guards?” Princess Rafiel proudly answered, “Through the secret tunnel.” Then they heard the guards coming close. Queen Margaret said, “The two of you must leave now before they see you here. Take care. I love you both.” The two replied, “We love you too mom. We promise we’ll be back.” They kissed and hugged their mom and left.
They went to different places, met different persons, applied for different jobs and used different identities. They managed a simple life and earned for their own living. They even attended schools. And because they worked diligently, they were able to save more money and used them in training as CSI agents. Because of their hard work and determination, they became virtuosi in using different kinds of guns and acquired high positions in CSI. They were in high hopes that they will be together with their mother. They were sure that their mother is still alive because of the heartbeat detector.
They met friends who are also CSI agents who deserved to be trusted. They told everything, revealed to them their secrets and their true identities. Together they worked to plot their plan: to win back what was taken away from the princesses.
After ten years of planning, they are now able to accord this plan. With the help of their newly-found friends, the time they have waited for so long has finally come. The four of them entered through the tunnel of the castle and saved first Queen Margaret. They killed a few guards in order to save the queen. Still their presence was not noticed. They brought the queen to a safe place and when they were assured that the queen will be safe there, they returned to the castle and capture as many guards as they can. Without the princesses’ knowledge, their friends coordinated with the CSI authorities. They called for back-ups and CSI immediately responded to this. Now, they are “full-forced” and in-control of the whole palace. Sir Ramsey will forever be in jail and die there. He was charged with heavy cases and is banned from using any forms of communication. He will not be given any parole and bail.
Now that the princesses are home, they decided to pass a law granting them the authority to rule even though they are women. Because of this, the status of women stepped-up. From then on, women were highly respected.
