Princesshood isn't really that great.
The classic fairy tale—a glass slipper, Prince Charming, and a happily ever after—has been told to you.
Welcome to reality: needlework, behaving like "a proper lady," royal genealogy courses, and, worst of all, a prince who is neither attractive nor even intriguing.
Ella, the soon-to-be princess, learns she is not "your majesty" material as she adjusts to her new rank. However, calling off a royal engagement is a difficult task, particularly if you have feelings for another lad in the palace. It will require cunning, tenacity, and intellect for Ella to get away—no ladylike actions permitted.
