Stella walked into the throne room and saw her father doing royal duty.
"Hey Daddy", greeted Stella
"Oh hey Stella", replied Shining Armor "What's up?"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"Whatever happened to Mommy?"
Shining had a look of grieve and looked at Stella.
"Follow me", said Shining
Shining and Stella walked to a room full of photo albums and other memories.
"What is this place?", asked Stella
"The memory room", replied Shining levitating a book towards him
He opened the book to the picture of him and Cadence on their wedding day.
"Who's that?", asked Stella
"That's your mom", explained Shining
"That's my mom? She's so pretty"
"Yeah, her name was Princess Mi Amoré Cadenza"
"That's a really long name"
"Yeah, but we called her Cadence for short"
"What happened to her?"
"She…passed…after she brought you into the world"
"She did?"
"Yup, you would've loved her. She sees beauty in everything"
"Even to the most ugliest creatures?"
"Exactly…Im sorry I had to tell you this. And Im sorry that she can't be in your life"
Shining hugged Stella and kissed the top of her head.
"It's ok Daddy", assured Stella hugging him "I have a Daddy who's better than a kajillion mommies"
"Thanks pumpkin", replied Shining
"I'm gonna go outside, wanna play with me?"
"Sorry sweetie, I have royal stuff to cover"
"Ok bye Daddy"
Stella ran out of the memory room.
"That went well", said Shining
