The Czar's Daughter
Once upon a time in land far, far away, lived a Czar and his royal family. The Czar and his wife had two beautiful daughters: Anfisa and Yulia. Anfisa was the eldest child. And Yulia the youngest. But Yulia was a very troublesome child. When her eyes spy something appealing, she would beg her mother to buy it. If she was denied the possession of this object, she would throw herself onto the ground and yell while kicking her legs franticly. Yelling, screaming about how much she hates her parents. Embarrassed by this, the Czar would try to discipline Yulia but it usually had no affect whatsoever.
One day the royal family decided to go out shopping since it was a beautiful day. Their Norwegian servant, Oddmund, usually performs tasks like these but the deep blue skies could not be ignored by the Czar. They visited many food stands, taking in all the different smells. Once their food items were selected, the royal family began to return home. Just before they left the market place, Yulia sees something out of the corner of her eye. She swiftly approached a small stand that sells fine jewelry and antiques. The object that caught her eye was a jewel-incrested Matryoshka doll. It was the most delightful thing she had ever seen! And she must have it!
"Mother!! I must have this!! May you buy it? Please?!" Yulia begged.
"No, Yulia. We just spent our money on all this delicious food. Which will be our dinner tonight." She replied, feeling a little uneasy.
She knew what was coming. And so did the Czar, Anfisa, Oddmund, and the four royal guards.
Yulia's expression quickly went from enthusiasm to displeasment. She began to grind her teeth and she couldn't take being denied any longer. So she flung herself towards the ground and began to have her childish fit.
"I HATE YOU!! I HATE YOU!! YOU NEVER LET ME HAVE ANYTHING!!"
"Yulia!! This is not appropriate behavior for a young woman as yourself!" The Czar quickly spat as he yanked his daughter up by her arm.
Yulia tried to push her father away but his grip was as mighty as a bear. "But father! I must have it!!" She cried.
Finally fed up with this, the mother quickly paid for the Matryoshka doll, and apologized to the clerk for the inconvenience. Then the royal family quickly left the market place. Their ears and cheeks burning from the townsfolk gossiping about what just happened.
The next day, the Czar, his wife, and Oddmund gathered in the dining room for a meeting.
"I wish someone would save us from this nightmare!" The Czar's wife wepted.
"Don't worry, my dear. I'm sure we can get pass this." The Czar replied as he placed a hand on her arm.
Oddmund coughed into his hand and locked eyes with the Czar. "Yesterday, I overheard a man speak of someone named Dorofey. It seems this man performs odd jobs around the city. And at an extremely affordable price."
The Czar thought for a long time before speaking. "Oddmund, bring me this Dorofey. Immediately!"
"Yes, my lord." Oddmund rose from his chair and left the room.
The wife sniveled a bit and took a hankercheif and wiped her eyes. "Do you think... this man can save us?"
"With God as my witness, I will pay this man any fortune he wants if he can set Yulia right!"
At the town's marketplace, Oddmund speaks with the townsfolk about Dorofey's whereabouts.
"Oh! He's at his cottage! Probably drinking tea and eating pirogi. Boy, he sure loves that stuff!! Comes here every day to buy a dozen or so pirogi!"
Oddmund left the babbling man to find Dorofey's cottage. Once he found it, he knocked on the wooden door. Slowly, the door open, revealing a young looking man with short black hair. He resembled a youthful Czar.
Oddmund introduced himself and explained about the royal family's horrible burden. Dorofey remained silent for a few moments longer then said, "I will gladly work for the all mighty Czar and his family. Please take me to him."
"You have know idea how much this mean to the Czar and his wife!" Exclaimed Oddmund.
Smiling, he led Dorofey to the royal family's mansion.
Later that day, the Czar meets Dorofey and talks about their problem. After listening to all the details, Dorofey says he needs to observe Yulia without her acknowledgement. To evaluate her so as he can come up with a strategic plan to rid them from this burden. The two agreed and said that their two daughters were outside. "Yulia usually comes running inside when Anfisa won't let her walk around the forest with her." The wife stated, "It happens almost everyday."
"Oddmund will aid you. He can tell you about our daughters." The Czar added.
Dorofey and the Norwegian servent walked outside and towards the mansion's courtyard. While walking, Oddmund speaks of the two siblings personalities.
"Anfisa is no problem to her parents. She shows apathy towards most things. Nothing seems to get on her nerves. Well, except Yulia. You already know about Yulia's very annoying behavior. I think being one of the Grand Duchesses has gone to her head. So she expects to be spoiled with riches."
"I see. Spoiled little brat."
"Dorofey, sir!!"
"What? I speak only but the truth."
The two stopped when they spied Anfisa running from a frantic Yulia.
"I WANT TO GO IN THE WOODS TOO, SISTER!!"
"Then go yourself!!"
"BUT THE WOODS ARE TOO SCAREY TO WALK AROUND IN ALONE!!"
"Too bad!"
Anfisa picked up her pace, leaving Yulia quite a ways behind. She fell to the ground and began to pout.
Dorofey and Oddmund approach the girl. She looked up at them with a confused expression.
"Oddmund, who is this?"
"This is Dorofey. Your father hired him so... erm... you can become less... of a nuisence." He replied nervously.
When he speaks badly of her, Yulia reports him to the guards and he usually gets beaten with sticks or sword sheaths.
"AUGH!! HOW DARE YOU!! I'M---"
"That is enough Yulia." Dorofey interuppted.
"You shall not speak, peasant!! Until you are given permission!"
Dorofey slaps Yulia across the face, leaving the young girl shocked and leaving Oddmund in disbelief.
"Oh my--- How could--- Oh dear God we're going to get beaten with sticks!!"
"I see your father has not disciplined your correctly."
Yulia suddenly began to cry very loudly and runs back towards the mansion.
"GAH!! DOROFEY!! We're going to get shot!!"
"No we will not."
Later that night, the Czar confronts Dorofey and sternly told him not to harm his daughter like that again.
"You have one more chance. Make it count."
The next day, while sitting in the courtyard with Oddmund, Dorofey tries to collect his thoughts. He was yelled at by the Czar. That was a very, very bad thing. He should be thankful that he wasn't beaten either.
Anfisa walked up to the two and hands them a dark blue book.
"This is Yulia's diary. She writes down all the events she experiences each day. I think this can help you get inside her head. But don't tell her how you got it."
Just as swiftly as she came, the Grand Duchess walked away. The two men opened the diary and began to read every page. Every sentence. Every word. Then, they got an idea.
The following day was like any other day: Calm with a high chance for screaming girls.
The Russian and Norwegian walked around the courtyard, looking for Yulia. It didn't take long for her to be found.
"I HATE YOU ANFISA!! I HATE YOU!! DO YOU HEAR ME?! I HATE YOU!!!"
"What else is knew?"
"GRAUGH!!"
Anfisa sees Dorofey and Oddmund then runs inside, smiling at them as she passed.
The two advanced towards the yelling girl.
"Yulia. Stop this nonsense. You're embarrassing yourself." Dorofey said.
"SHUT YOUR PEASANT MOUTH!!"
"Uhm, Yulia... maybe you should listen to him. He's only trying to help."
"YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK EITHER, SERVANT!"
Oddmund flinches then glances at Dorofey. Their plan didn't seem to be working. Yet. Suddenly, Dorofey smiled then fell to the ground, yelling.
"I HATE YOU!! I HATE YOU!! DO YOU HEAR ME?! I HATE YOU!!" He yelled in a mocking tone.
Yulia freezes and stares at the man in disbelief. Then her cheeks became red.
"Hey!! Be quiet!! That isn't funny!! Someone might be watching!!"
Dorofey sits up with that sly smile of his. Then he reveals the key to the royal family's freedom.
"Is.. IS THAT MY DIARY?!"
"It sure is. And I think I'm going to keep it."
"YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!"
"You can have it back if you do me a favor."
"And what would that be?"
Oddmund watches with great curiosity. The plan had a slight change. Scratch that. The plan changed drasticly!
"If you reflect on all the times you threw a fit in public and recall how embarrassed your parents were, then maybe i'll give your diary back."
Yulia glared at him then her eyes trailed away, deep in thought. It wasn't long until her eyes jerked back to Dorofey.
"You... you were me. And I was mom and dad... Just now... When you did that."
Dorofey smiled and nodded slowly.
"Do you see it now? You can't always get what you want Yulia. Think more of others than yourself." He said as he rose to his feet, patting off the dirt from his pants.
Then he tossed the diary to Yulia and walks away with Oddmund close behind.
The Czar shook hands with Dorofey while laughing with joy! Oh what the hell, he gave him a bear hug too. His wife also thanked Dorofey with a kiss on the cheek and a hug. Oddmund bowed his head slightly and shook hands too.
"Yulia is very calm now. She and Anfisa get along. She even gave away some of her jewelry! And we don't have to worry about being embarrassed in public! Oh, how can I thank you, kind sir? I will give you any fortune you want!! Just name it! Now that future events won't be so abstract!" The Czar exclaimed happliy.
"Just helping the Czar is enough of a prize for me, sir."
"Nonsense, Dorofey! Here. Take this pouch of rubles, priceless gems, and gold coins!! You can also come by my mansion anytime you want! And spend time with my children. Yulia likes you especially."
"That's very kind of you. But---"
"But a hero knows when to accept a gift."
The two lock eyes then shared a laugh. Afterwords, Dorofey was off back to his cottage. To forever be happy that he saved the royal family from a lifetime of shame. And to gourge himself in pirogi.
Oh how much he loves pirogi!
