Not again. This was possibly the fifth one to appear. The first ever was at a school bathroom when you were a kid, said school always felt a little haunted though so you didn't think much of it back then. But now in this beautiful just built house? Was it following you or something?

Was all the things that go bump in the night just determined to ruin your life? Hadn't you out grown these things? Seeing shadows that weren't there, or hearing sounds that shouldn't be going on when home alone? You moved here to avoid all of that! This should have been the perfect place!

So much for a quiet neighborhood... Of course this would happen, something always happens... But no. You are going to ignore it! Just like all the other times a weird door magically appeared! Those creepy ghouls aren't getting you now nor never! The door will probably go away the next time you come into the basement anyways. Like all the other times.

Oh no... The door is opening on it's own...

The princess stared at the wizard blankly before raising her eyebrows. “These things are always ‘true love shall break the curse’. Who in the worlds curses someone that only being hated would break the curse? It’s super easy to be hated you know.“ She crossed her arms and stared the wizard down.

“It can’t be that easy… A truly murderous hate? A hate so deep that nothing can make them like you?” The wizard question confused beyond belief. He was sure that the princess would struggle with that. After all she was fairly nice, and pretty, and animals seemed to like her at least….

The princess shook her head and sighed. “My father and the knight commander hates me because one was in love with the former queen and oh wait, she’s gone… The new queen hates me for being around. Really every human in the castle hates me for some reason or another.” She sighed plopping herself onto the bed. “A true love curse would take longer and be harder, after all… tower.” She waved her hand vaguely at the room they were in.

“No no. A true love curse wouldn’t work. It’d break immediately because… uh… anyways! How is it that neither would work? I was going to make you cry and beg me to undo it!” The wizards plans were ruined! All because the royal family hated their only princess and he himself was hopelessly in love with her. What could he do now? His whole plan was ridding on the curse.

The princess looked baffled again. “Why wouldn’t it work? No knight or prince is going to come to the tower, you’re the first person I’ve seen in a month.” She raised her eyebrows when the wizard made a nervous squeak at the question. “Wait… are you? Oh my gosh… you’re an idiot.”

The princess got off the bed and put her hands up. “Just kidnap me. It’ll be faster. Come on. Take me to your lair or whatever you have. Anything is better then here.” This was not the result the wizard had anticipated but he’ll take it.

I imagine the magician is not happy. This was supposed to be a short one time thing after all. But now they pair wants to keep being eachother. He could loose his head for this. But at the same time you really can’t go against an order from a royal can you?

When they made the bet neither expected the other to be any good at their roles, or for them to actually enjoy being in the other's shoes. But now it was a problem. First off because the knight Denis was low ranking and one of the worse at combat, and second off because Princess Rosaria was well known for being clumsy in a dress and unable to even try to follow table manners expected of her station.

So 'princess' Denis watched from a window as the real princess threw her sword like a throwing knife, half way across the training field and straight into an attacking beast with wonder. That was neither how one should handle a sword and greatly impressive that she nailed the beast from so far away. "Oops! My bad! I panicked!" He suddenly understood why her ladies in waiting didn't trust her with anything sharp, along with why the long never gave her a guard... "I think it's stuck... Can someone get me a knew one...?" He also feared the idea of her taking back her role after all that training was done...

On the other hand 'Knight' Rosaria watched confused as the real knight danced with her fiance perfectly and knew the difference between the five different forks and spoons, they all still looked the same to her honestly.

Two months after the switch when they met up at the dead of night to as agreed on switch back the knight immediately started off with. "My princess. I think I'm a woman... And I'm in love with the Prince you were supposed to marry." The confusion and anguish in his... Her...? Eyes made the princess feel for the confused soul.

"I feel the name way. Well no about the in love part... Or at least not with him. I never cared much for the guy... But I think I want to stay how we are. I like fighting people... And throwing swords. The captain said he'd teach me how to use a bow! A bow! On a horse!" The princess's excitement made the knight certain on this.

"We are never going back. Let's get the royal magician to turn us into each other. So no one as to know." Honestly this was probably safer for the kingdom in the long run anyways, the princess was to strong and would have probably started a war.
