William and Kate
Princesses tend not to rule. Their brothers steal the throne because of misogynist rules, but that does not mean they do not have any power in high society. Often, they negotiate their marriages to make peace with foreign powers and their husbands regard them as the most important part of their life. This aspect of this life makes them increasingly vulnerable.Kate and William, part of the English royal family, were a happy couple with three beautiful children until Kate was kidnapped by the Spanish prince Ferdinand. Ferdinand's sister, Cressida Bonas, was broken up with William's brother Harry, and he leaked ill information about her to the press. Ferdinand repeatedly tried to get Kate to leave William for him, but she refused.
William went to war with all of Spain for Kate. First during the battle of Madrid, Ferdinand sent the solider Sebastian to fight the rest of the English soldiers, and went to fight William. But he couldn't defeat him by himself. So, Diego, Ferdinand's brother, who was incredibly mighty and giant, decided to join the battle, to face off directly with William. He joined later because Ferdinand's Father sent him to Southern Spain and it took him time to get to Madrid. He devastated the English Army, but William was able to defeat him. His defeat doom Ferdinand. Without Diego, Ferdinand was easily defeated.
William, winning the war, and continuing English dominance over Spain, began to search for Kate. He found her safe and true. They were able to return to their family and continue raising their young children. They will remain happy until the next scandal Harry creates or the next crash William's grandpa causes.

Author's Notes
So I used the story of Kumbhakarna from Ramyana. As a quick review, Kumbhakarna is Ravana's giant brother who sleeps for 6 months and had to be awoken. I changed the story and made it modern and secular. Also, I added some of the drama of the British Royal family because in a modern world, princes would not go to war because one cut off a princess's nose, so I wanted to give it a sense of plausibility. I added the first paragraph to place the story in pre-modern time and to add more to the plausibility factor.
Caitlin,
ReplyDeleteI must say, I absolutely loved your story! You really put an interesting twist on the original story. I am quite obsessed with the royal family, so reading your story was super enjoyable for me. Kate being kidnapped added so much suspense to the story. I mean can you imagine if that happened in real life?? Talk about horrifying! It would be super cool if you did another story and added in Prince Harry's new wife, Meghan Markle!
Hi Caitlin,
ReplyDeleteAs one being not that interested in the royal family, I found your story very interesting! I like modern individuals set in a mythological or historic background. Now, was Kate kind of kidnapped like Sita was? Or was she kidnapped on the street while she was alone? I believe that it would add a more interesting twist to know where she was kidnapped and if under difficult circumstances, how she was kidnapped. I also really liked your wrap-up in the end, it was clean.
Good morning Caitlin! I like how you related parts of the tale from Kumbhakarna from the Ramayana to one you created about the Royal Family. It definitely added a unique, modern twist to a story that couldn’t have been more contrasting. That’s creativity! I also liked how in your beginning paragraph, you emphasized the pressure wives face in these types of stories. I was wondering if you could expand on that point? I’d be really interested in hearing more!
