Marinette P.O.V. (A/N It'll change don't worry)

"Marinette, sweetie! Wake up! We're about to land in China!" Maman called from the main seating area of our private jet. I sat up quickly and ran out of the bedroom Maman and Papa said I could use.

My parents were sitting on the couch with each other smiling at me. I grinned back at them. I still can't believe I'm a princess! And of China! Then I noticed Maman's dress, it seemed to be a Parisian couture mixed me a Chinese kimono. 

She looked amazing, especially with blue on her skin tone. My eyes quickly shifted to Papa, who was squeezed into an Emperor's kimono, but he still looked great.

"You guys look incredible! Where did you get those?" I asked and ran to hug them. They embraced me while laughing, and to that I rolled my eyes. 

"Our royal seamstress did, honey. She had shipped these to Paris a week ago after she heard about our visit. Her name's Miss Chunhua," Papa said happily. I released their hugs slowly, and looked at myself in one of the mirrors hanging on the jet wall. Crap, I need to fix this! My hair was shooting out from all directions, there were bags under my eyes, and could see red around my eyes. I looked at Maman and Papa, who stared at me, then burst into a fit of laughter. I pouted in return, crossing my arms.

"Maman! Papa! It's not funny. Now seriously, Mr. Damocles said my bags had already been packed. Which means I have clothes right? Where are they?" I asked frustratingly. They finished their laughter, and Mama clapped her hands twice. Right then, a man in a black suit came out, holding my pink, white, and black suitcase. I took it, thanked the man, and looked to Papa, "Who was that?"

"He's one of our servants - and don't worry, he's not a slave, he gets paid and everything," Papa said, and I held up my hand to assure him I understand. Then, I ran into the bedroom and opened up the suitcase. Inside was one dress. ONE DRESS. THIS IS A THREE DAY TRIP. HOW CAN I DO ANYTHING WITH ONE DRESS? Anyway, I set my thoughts aside and pulled the dress out. It was beautiful! 

I squealed and quickly put it on. Then, my hair and makeup. I looked around the suitcase and found a pocket full of beauty supplies. First, I did my makeup:

Then, I quickly did my hair:

(A/N Its still raven/blue)

I looked in the mirror and felt satisfied, so I opened the door. I could slightly see Maman and Papa, who seemed to be next to the pilot in the cockpit. I walked over to them and tapped Mama on the shoulder. She turned and grinned. 

"Marinette, you look wonderful!" She exclaimed. I smiled sheepishly and looked down at my bare feet. She followed my gaze and made a loud, 'Oh!' noise. Maman grabbed my wrist and pulled me to a hidden chest under one of the tables. She clicked the button and it opened. Inside there was a red shoe box. I grabbed it and saw the shoes placed inside:

I slipped them on excitedly, then heard the pilot speak over the intercom, "We will be landing in Beijing in T-minus 1 minute. Please take a seat and put your seatbelt on." Maman, Papa, and I obeyed, moving to our seats.

TIME SKIP

Our limo drove up a long, steep driveway that I assumed lead to our palace. Then, I felt the car come to a halt, and my door opened. I stepped out first, then Maman and Papa. I turned around and gasped. A gigantic palace surrounded by forests and jungles was sitting on the side of a hill, looking ravishing in the morning light. 

(A/N Okay just imagine the palace surrounded by lush trees and plants on the side of the hill)

I looked at Maman and Papa, who were standing behind me, and they looked to feel the same as me, full of wonder and amazement. Then I heard a murmur come from Maman, sounding like, "It's been so long, Tom. I've missed it so much." Papa wrapped his arms around her lovingly and they both sighed. I soon joined them, and I felt so at home. My home country, my parents, my -um- castle?

"Welcome Emperor and Empress Dupain-Cheng, and Princess Marinette," I whipped my head to see the owner of the voice, and it was a handsome boy my age, who seemed to be Western European, or American, he was even speaking amazing French.

"Ethan, hello young boy! It's been so long, I remember you as a tiny little baby when we were living here," Papa spoke loudly and went to give the boy, whose name I assumed to be Ethan, a slap on the back. I giggled as Ethan tried to bow after the hard, friendly hit Papa had given him. 

"It sure has, Emperor Tom. Good to see both of you," Ethan said brightly, then turned to look at me. I could see blush spread across his freckled face, as he bowed to me. I returned with a similar bow. Then I chose to get a good look at him. He had brown hair, adorable freckles, brown eyes, and he was as tall as Adrien. "H-Hello, Princess Marinette."

"Hi, Ethan," I replied genuinely, "Nice to meet you." I smiled and held out a hand for him to shake. He looked at it, surprised, then shook it. Ethan was a really handsome boy and I couldn't help but notice it. Then I slapped myself mentally. Marinette. You love Adrien. 

An idea popped into my head and I looked at Maman, "Can I go explore?!" She and Papa looked at each other questioningly, then nodded to me. I squealed and ran through a golden entrance similar to the one at Versailles. (A/N one of the castles in Paris is called Versailles, it has a golden gate in front of it)

I entered and first saw the throne room:

One of the living rooms I saw:

One of the dining rooms:

The staircase:

A bathroom:

A bedroom I assumed was Mama and Papa's:

Then, the bedroom I assumed was mine:

I felt too exhausted from exploring, so sprawled across the golden couch. Aahhh, I could get used to this.

 "U-Uh, Princess Marinette?" A voice came from the doorway. I looked up to see Ethan standing their with a letter in his hand. He looked a little red as I got up from the couch. "We received a letter from Mr. Damocles, in Paris, that your class will be going on a trip to China and will be visiting the royal palace in one day."

(A/N Hello, kittens! I hoped you liked this chapter! I'm really excited to write about the visit and maybe a reveal? Who knows? {We will be seeing LB and CN/new p.o.v.s pretty soon! Stay tuned! Love ya!)
