365 Days of Drabbles: Day Eighty-One

For Helhound "Far too many princesses"

Note: If this is the same dragon, I'm starting to feel bad for her.

"I'm sorry, but you don't qualify," the dragon said to the girl bound to the stake.

"But I'm chained right here!" the girl shouted. "I've got the tiara and everything!"

"But no kingdom."

"You're standing in it!"

She sighed. "Look, I've said this before. A manor house with a couple of servant cottages does not constitute a kingdom and village."

"But Daddy's got money!" the girl protested.

"It's not the money, it's the bloodline. Sorry, you're not a princess, and I don't have time to be capturing every commoner merchant's daughter who wants a nice byline in the social pages."

"Of course I'm a princess, I was kidnaped by a dragon, wasn't I?"

I promptly visualized the girl as the blonde from Disney's Princess and the Frog.
