With the great good fortune of an appealing
physical presence and the cunning intelligence
to submerge the scorpion within, celebrity status
can arrive when chance and opportunity offer
their services.
And thus it was that an infantile prince became
mesmerized by an exotic enchantress catapulting
her instantly into a personage of great distinction
and public interest who discovered how effective
expressed victimhood can be in claiming compassion
from a wide, adoring public.
No naif she, intuitively grasping how the presentation
of a frail vulnerability exposed to the haughty
entitlement of royals barely deigning to notice a new
decidedly unroyal family member in their midst
has the delicious potential of arousing flaming
indignation in the minds and hearts of those
commoners who like herself nurse resentment
and in the process cleverly manipulates events
spotlighting herself as wronged and those of
majesty born oppressively spiteful.
Wounded is not she, hugging victory close
but those who in reality warmly clasped their
prince's bride to their company, but she played her
game well degrading them and elevating herself
to find wealth and admiration mounting her on the
throne of deceitful slanderers, this royal victim.
