Princess (4 year old): Grandma, why so hurry?
Old queen (Breathing heavily): My sweetheart, in 20 years, you will debark a long long long journey to go to a far far far away land. But remeber, no matter how hard things would be, you should always and forever have this wonderful crystal heart inside of you, to wherever you go and whatever you do.
Princess: Grandma, I don't understand. Why do I have to travel long away? Am I not coming back?
Old Queen: My dearest princess, our kingdom is dying. A new kingdom will be set up in 20 years. You have a mission.
You are traveling to find the new land -- a wonderful land, establish new rules and making better life for our people--That is your mission.
To fulfill this mission, my dear sweetheart, you will have to grow up and be tough because I will not be able to be your side by that time.
In the journey, you will start a new life, meet new people, and maybe meet the one. Most importantly, you will discover a new yourself through the journey. It will be hard, very very hard. But you will be rewarded-- I swear to you--by the time you finish your mission, you will be brave enough to embrace an enemy, kind enough to warm an ice, tenacity as water dropping through a stone, intelligent as a twinkle star, beautiful as to give love to the most in need--My dear, you will become a true Princess and my deepest proud.
Princess: Will it be very hard? Too hard that I cannot make it?
Old Queen: It will be tough, my dear, but I don't think anything could harm you or impede you from fulfilling your mission -- because you are a real Princess, and you will always carry on this crystal heart -- which would protect you from any harms.
As she saying, the Old Queen took off her golden cross necklace and make it on the little princess neck. Smilling to her.
Princess: Grandma, are you going anywhere? You will always be my side right?
Old Queen: My dear, I won't be able to be with you physically when you debark your journey -- but wear this necklace--it is my heart, always with you.
Princess: Why? Where are you going, aren't you staying with us, (pointing to the palace) all of us in the palace forever?
Old Queen: My dear princess, I am going to another wonderful place, where you could meet me up after your fulfilling the mission and became a true Princess without any regrets left in the world. You will meet me somewhere, you have my word.
Princess: Alright grandma. But you have to spend this summer with me in the palace, I love you.
