Princess Butterscotch Stories
Written by: Basak Serin
Butterscotch, a modern history teacher and orange cat,
accidentally falls through a magical library portal into the
underground 15th-century kingdom of Bluelight.
The kingdom is in chaos when she arrives, so the royal
advisors, Chestnut and Weston, choose her to be their new
leader because the portal sent her directly there to help
them. Through their initial meetings, Chestnut gets to
know her deeply and realizes she is fully capable of
leadership because she proves herself to be incredibly
kind, smart, and fair.
The magical library portal had chosen Butterscotch
because her knowledge, compassion, and sense of fairness
were exactly what the kingdom needed.
To make her leadership official, the elder official, Sir
Leopold, born in 1380, serves as the state's primary
guiding authority. During the historic year of 1450, Sir
Leopold is exactly 70 years old when he ceremonially
lowers the royal crown onto Butterscotch's head. She
officially becomes Princess Butterscotch.
Butterscotch rules with absolute fairness for exactly 30
days, drawing on her deep historical knowledge to solve
neglected problems and teach the fearful animals to
cooperate.
Before returning to her own world, she gives her royal
crown to her trusted 22-year-old lead advisor, Chestnut,
naming him her official successor. She then steps back
through the magical library portal and safely returns to the
21st century, knowing Bluelight is in good hands.
Chestnut takes on the royal title of Prince Stickers, named
after the modern stickers Butterscotch brought from her
world. Prince Stickers rules responsibly for 30 years,
completely transforming the fractured community into a
peaceful, thriving kingdom alongside his trusted friend
and co-advisor, Weston. Throughout his reign, the
villagers continue to live by the lessons of cooperation,
fairness, kindness, and unity that Princess Butterscotch
taught them during her brief but unforgettable time in
Bluelight.
In 1455, Sir Leopold is 75 years old when he contracts a
severe infection. The royal healers do everything they
know, using herbal remedies such as honey, garlic, and
willow bark for pain, warm compresses, rest, and more to
support recovery. However, medieval medicine in the
15th century had no antibiotics, no scientific
understanding of bacteria or germs, and no modern
medicines capable of stopping severe infections. Sir
Leopold passes away peacefully, leaving the young rulers
to guide the land.
In the fateful year of 1480, Prince Stickers is struck down
by a devastating fever and a severe infection. Once again,
the kingdom's healers prepare herbal medicines, soothing
teas, warm cloths, nourishing broths, and offer constant
care and support. They can help ease some of his
suffering, but because modern medicine did not yet exist
in the Middle Ages, they have no effective treatment to
cure the infection itself. Prince Stickers realizes that his
physical strength is rapidly fading and that he can no
longer carry out his royal responsibilities.
Prince Stickers holds a final conversation from his
bedside with Weston, telling him that the kingdom's
stability is their shared life's work and asking him to
accept the crown to protect the peace they built together.
As they speak, they remember Princess Butterscotch and
the incredible days they spent together, causing both
Prince Stickers and Weston to shed tears over the
memories of their dear friend and the closing of an
unforgettable chapter in their lives.
Prince Stickers explains that to honor Weston's wisdom,
compassion, and lifelong dedication to the kingdom, the
throne should enter a new era. Rather than continuing the
long tradition of another Prince or Princess, he declares
that Weston should become Bluelight's very first King,
symbolizing the strength and unity their generation had
built together.
Gathering his remaining strength, Prince Stickers insists
on attending the formal coronation ceremony. Standing
proudly before the supportive villagers of Bluelight, he
personally places the royal crown onto the head of his
best friend. When the animals see their beloved Prince
Stickers walk out, a wave of profound sorrow and deep
admiration washes over the crowd, leaving many openly
weeping at his final selfless act of love and devotion to
the kingdom.
Right there at the ceremony in 1480, after completing his
final noble act of passing the crown, Prince Stickers
peacefully passes away at the age of 52, leaving his 48-
year-old best friend Weston to officially become King
Weston.
This historic transition marks the very first time any ruler
in Bluelight becomes a King, breaking the traditional
cycle of having only a Prince or Princess on the throne.
King Weston ruled successfully for 32 years with fairness,
guiding the kingdom into the early 16th century. At the
age of 80 in 1512, after a long and peaceful life, he passed
away from old age, leaving behind a kingdom that was
stronger, kinder, and more united than ever before.
Back in the 21st century, Butterscotch carries the
beautiful, cherished memories of the cats: Sir Leopold,
Prince Stickers, and King Weston in her heart forever,
letting the warmth of their lifelong love and incredible
legacy completely fill her mind.
