A snowy Christmas mansion in the Netherlands was occupied by a leasing prince who wanted to spend the holiday-season in peace and quiet having just retired from heavy gov't Interpol-relations work regarding blood-diamond piracy-interventions in the UK. This prince, Amlan Satan (code-name: Storm-Shadow), decorated his holiday-time Christmastime Dutch forest mansion in the nicest lights and ornaments but needed a great governess.

STORM-SHADOW (Amlan Satan): I shall put an ad on the Net for a quaint governess who'll offer my holiday-mansion dressings!

The prince spent his time playing on his brand-new graphic synthesizer-keyboard, creating fun holiday-time jingles for his tape-recording of Christmastime spirits in the Netherlands, and he dreamt of retiring from gov't-work for good.

STORM-SHADOW: Spending too much time with gov't-work makes a man think of the dreams of peace/retirement/shopping!

The prince started making holiday-cards for friends/relations, and he sent some to his mother/sister who're in Washington. He sent some of these card-mailings to teachers who're friends in Washington and California. He then hoped someone would read his cyber-governess classifieds and offer up another addition to his mailing-list.

STORM-SHADOW: I think I'll make a holiday blog in the Netherlands about the 'ornaments' of modern chivalry storytelling!

Finally, a woman answered the prince's Christmastime governess-ad on the Net. Her name, Ayala, and she's a terrific chef and housekeeper who's worked for a Euro-royal family in her past/resume. The prince (Amlan Satan) thought Ayala was gorgeous and kind and smart and told her she's one of the best candidates currently for the highly-paid position in the Netherlands. Ayala secretly hoped no one else would answer the prince's cyber-ad.

However, another woman did in fact answer the ad, and she's a Western fashion-dress model (Isobel) whose work has been featured in various cyber-ads for modern couture in Western civilization. She's traveling in the Netherlands (Europe) and the prince's governess-work position seemed too perfect to pass up, so she too showed up at his mansion-doorstep in the forest, complimenting Satan (Amlan) on this holiday-time decorations/lights and explained she's the ideal 'candidate' for the position of governess, since she's gotten experience working with community kids; this is ideal, since the prince (Amlan Satan) found her to be 'community-photogenic' for his mansion holiday party which would see kids from the community attend for a special magazine feature about civilization decoration advertisements!

AYALA: I think you need a professional governess for this holiday-season, prince.
ISOBEL: I too think I'm good for the governess-position, for your kids-party this season!
AMLAN: You're both lovely...and amazing.

AYALA: I have great care/skill with house-keep and hostessing, prince.
ISOBEL: I too have community skill and hospitality-experience as well, for your party!
AMLAN: I don't know honestly which of you two lovely and amazing candidates is perfect.

AYALA: Perhaps you should hire us both, prince.
ISOBEL: Certainly, it seems (to us at least!) that you can afford it!
AMLAN: Indeed I suppose I can indeed afford this double-condition...fine.

AYALA: So it's settled...the 'Dutch prince' has two Christmastime governesses.
ISOBEL: All's well in Denmark (or Holland).
AMLAN: All's well in this Christmas mansion; I thank you!

AYALA: We'll start by improving your Christmas-card mailings, prince.
ISOBEL: I'll get glue-glitter from the local store, Satan.
AMLAN: I can't wait; this will be a ornamented holiday-time for all of us!

So you see, folks, our good 'James Bond' prince of blood-diamond gov't-work seeing to retire in spirits, has found two (not one!) ideal Christmastime governess for his holiday-time plans in his Dutch forest Christmas mansion. So what will be the developing outcome(s) of this unusual democratic fable about discovering Christmas-magic? What do you think? Perhaps you should decide...Happy Holidays.
