An Improvised Story

Once upon a time there was a princess that lived in the Castle-in-the-Clouds. She was a fair maiden and although her cloud was neither the largest nor the highest in the sky, it was by far the whitest. Her skin and hair was pure blonde and the reputation of her beauty extended throughout the skies and beyond.

Every day she would wait by the window for a prince to come and take her away. However, most princes these days were interested in only the princesses that lived in the really big clouds or the really high ones. This distressed her greatly and she would spend many hours looking forlornly out the window.

Until one day, she got so fed up that she officially declared herself a maiden in distress. She sent her couriers out to all the neighboring kingdoms seeking a knight in shining armor to urgently come and rescue her.

Because of that, several knights came gallivanting towards her cloud asking for her hand in marriage. In order to choose between them, she set them in competitions to fight for her hand. It was a great circus and people from all the kingdoms came to catch this one-in-a-lifetime event.

Because of that, the cloud treasury grew by ten-fold from the tax revenues of the spectators. The princess looked at the money she made and realized that there was quite a business to be had!

And ever since then, she was known not only as the princess that lived in the Castle-in-the Clouds but also as the CEO of RoyaltyMatch.com, an exclusive dating website for princes and princesses.

Her husband was simply known as Bob.
