The Tenth Princess

I just couldn't get a good scan of this one.
Well... this was an attempt at combining a silhouette with a regular drawing (her face where it is illuminated by her halo).

I'm having an antisocial week/ month/ whatever.

The tenth princess's father was a giant black beetle. When the King found out about the Queen's affair this time, he ordered that a giant shoe be made, large enough to crush the beetle. The shoe was made, and hung in the hallway above the door to the Queen's bedchamber. But the Queen had discovered the King's plan earlier when she came across an invoice for six dozen foot-long brass shoe nails, and her lover was able to flee the kingdom disguised as an old peasant woman.
Tragically, the Queen's maid was mistakenly crushed under the shoe when she went to empty the royal chamberpot early the next morning.
Months later, when the princess was born, the King saw imediantly that she was no daughter of his, but according to the laws of the country he was required to raise her as one of his own. So he saw to it that the royal treasurer provided her maids with the funds to purchase her the finest black silks and laces for her dresses, long strings of black pearls to weave through her hair, and exotic ointments to soften her chitinous back.
