Fairytale
Picture Perfect
It had been a fabulous day, the sun was shining brightly in the clear, blue sky as everyone was partying full blast.
Even in the middle of the day, loud music can be heard all over the kingdom. The townspeople were all gathered; chatting, singing and dancing merrily. Performers and entertainers from all over the land were set to perform in the biggest celebration yet.
A special banquet was prepared for everyone. Variety of soups, several roasted ducks, pork, lobsters, crabs, fishes and shrimps, as well as different kinds of wheats and breads, baskets full of fruits and berries and the finest sets of wine were served on the huge mahogany table - it was a table so big that the food on it would be enough to cater to hundreds (or even thousands) of people. In the middle of all the servings was the huge birthday cake which was screaming just how magnanimous and important today's celebration is.
Clearly, today is a day like no other, for today is the day when the prince shall go and prove to everyone that he is old and good enough to be the next ruler of the kingdom. Today is the day when he is set to prove that he is a man, true man that is, in every sense of the word. Today would be his last day in the kingdom. After this, he will go to a faraway land, a land where nobody knows what and who he is and try to live his life like any other ordinary people, a commoner - away from all the wealth, fame and fortune that he has now.
It had been a tradition in their family. Every prince who are next in line on the throne needs to prove that he deserves and can hold the responsibilities of being a good king. He needs to prove that he can rule the whole kingdom accordingly and fairly. And to be able to do just that, he needs to experience how it is to live like a commoner.
After hours and hours of merry making, the sun was about to set and the celebration is soon to be over. It is now time to bid farewell to the kingdom's beloved prince.
The music has stopped, the celebration has ha
