Richard II and Isabella
Richard II and Issabella
By Dee Greene


It was 1396. In a small village nearby, a 6-year-old girl named Issabella was reading a bible on her way to Great Seneca Creek Elementary School. Issabella was the oldest daughter of Charles VI and Isabeau, the king and queen of France. She had a younger brother, Charles and younger sister, Catherine. Issabella was an evangelist because of her christianity. She studies evangelism and angelology during her classes at her school. Issabella was described as a heavenly goddess, in other words, “Queen of Heaven”. Although she was angelic, Issabella was having a difficult time. First, Debra and other girls believed that she was mean and rude. Then, her uncle, Louis, wants her to be betrothed with John, the 9-year-old son of Peter II. Issabella had no interest in John, and believed that if she did marry, she wanted to be for love.

Issabella was hurt, but began to feel a little better. She was six years old. She went outside to see what the wind was telling her. She cried as she read the bible to see the answers from God himself. She then went to the park, where there’s a social event going on. At the same time, Issabella became involved with a 29-year-old man named Richard II. Unlike John, Richard II was a nice, sweet, and very gentle person. He was the grandson of Edward III and great-grandson of Edward II. his grandfather had begun the 100 years war, when England and France began to fight. He was also named after William the Conqueror’s grandfather. The president and child shook hands, and at that moment, neither of them wanted to let go. Their souls touched! The thing is, Richard II and the child Issabella would spend hours with no one, but each other throughout their magical relationship. Leaves swirled around the pair as the wind told Issabella to go ahead and take Richard’s hand. As she did, Issabella remembered to listen with her heart. Together, they walked through the fields to gather corn and other vegetables. The president was having a fancy dinner event later that night. It was the same place where the child inspired Richard II about christianity and how God came to the universe.

Feeling inspired by Issabella, Richard II began to feel what the child felt. Suddenly, their heavenly time together was broken by Debra calling Issabella’s name. Knowing that she might be hurt again, Issabella hid behind the president for protection. When the girls looked at the president, they believed that he was a giant. “A giant!” cried the girls. Frightened, the girls screamed and ran away. At the president’s palace, Issabella looked around and was amazed by Richard II’s deluxable treasures. She then went to the kitchen and came up with an idea. She followed the president’s checklist by cooking meals, desserts, even drinks from Richard II’s famous cookbook “Forme of Curry”. She put the checkmark on every step made by the president. The president was surprised, and was blessed by Issabella’s help. At dinner that night, Issabella began playing the piano and played “It Is Well With My Soul”. The guests and the president were gathered to listen, and clapped. They loved it! After dinner, Richard II took Issabella to the throne room and thanked her for helping him out.

Issabella was shy at the moment. “You’re welcome, Mr. President.” Issabella then sat next to the president, and advised him to be as good as God. She gently kissed his cheek, and the two got their first kiss. It was a loving smooch on the lips. As they kissed, John, Issabella’s betrothed fiance, and Mrs. Miller, Issabella’s art teacher; spotted them. Mrs. Miller fainted while John, betrayed at what he was seeing, ran off in tears. The president and Issabella’s friendly courtship would also reach Peter II, who was betrayed and angry. When their first kiss was done, Richard II and Issabella quietly regretted it. “I'm ….I'm sorry.” said the president. “Me too.” replied Issabella. The child told the president that she must go to bed, but the president tells her he must guide her. The child then hugged the president, and kissed him on the forehead.

The next day, Issabella fell asleep with the president when the birds began singing. She can feel the melody of nature as she goes outside the balcony. The gentle breeze swirled around her, the same breeze that carried the leaves out to the open sea. As she went downstairs, Richard II gave her breakfast as a thank you gift. “Sunny side eggs, French toast sticks, bacon, sausage patties, and maple syrup? Why, Thank you very much, Mr. President.” Suddenly, Richard II heard a noise coming from the front door. He slowly went straight to the windows, hoping it was his older cousin, Henry. It was not. It was Ms. Miller. The king ran back to the dining room and saw Issabella eating her breakfast. Richard II’s barons tried to keep Ms. Miller from going in. but she threatened them with a shotgun. She went inside the kingdom, looking for the man Issabella had met. “Come on out, you monster!” Ms. Miller believed that the president was taking advantage of the child. Of course, Issabella tried to be friendly, but the president was as big as a beanstalk. Word gets around to Ubong, one of Issabella’s classmates. He was terrified about the age difference between adults and children, and was extremely worried about Issabella.

The president had his different breakfast on the table. While they enjoyed their breakfast, Issabella’s mother and father approved of this relationship. But Issabella’s aunt, Pam and her husband were so incensed, they stormed out. Even the president’s uncle, Thomas, had disapproved of Issabella. He wanted his nephew to talk to Anne of Bohemia, who had an unrequited crush on Richard, but Richard talks to Issabella instead. After breakfast, Thomas came to his nephew at the oval office and pleaded with him to talk to Anne. When Richard II refused, Thomas tried again and again to get him to marry Anne. On Issabella, the president won’t budge. He told his nephew to think about his great-grandparents Edward II and Isa. It's an exquisite statement.

In the afternoon, the president and Issabella went to the supermarket to get the groceries to make a candlelight supper. Once they got home, Issabella put the groceries in the right order. While she went upstairs to get ready, Richard II did what Issabella had done. He cooked the food and put them on the table. Later that night, the president and Issabella had a fancy dinner. They even remembered their table manners. They both had a wonderful time. The president seduced Issabella with his famous “Gourd Soup”, and Issabella loved it. And to earn some extra bonus points, she crowned Richard II the “Father of Modern Soup.” As they were eating their candlelight dinner, Louis and Ubong tried to come in, even Ms. Miller. Luckily, the president and Issabella had been paying attention to their supper so they wouldn't notice. The pair watched as the serving pieces carried in tasty food. After supper, Richard II took Issabella to the ballroom, where he taught her how to waltz. They danced gracefully across the room. At that moment, the president began to have feelings for...
