Come.

This is my palace, the Lotus Palace.

Come stay here with me, Lady Pin.

From now on, this place will be your home.

I want to go home. I miss Father and Mother.

Your father and mother…

already passed away.

From now on…

I will be a father...

and a mother for you, Lady Pin

I’m Anin.

What’s your name?

Pilanthita, Your Highness.

Lady Pin…

Are you staying with Princess Pattamika at the Lotus Palace?

I’ll call you Pin then.

You don’t have to address me with royal terms.

We are now friends.

Here.

Try blowing it.

Come down, Anin.

Or else I’ll go tell your aunt.

Don’t!

(Screaming)

The Loyal Pin

Many years have passed…

since Princess Pattamika took me in and let me stay here at His Highness Prince’s Savettavarit Palace.

She is a close relative of the prince.

This is because Lady Khlai,

a mother of His Highness Prince at Savettavarit Palace,

had adopted Princess Patt and took care of her since when she was very little.

Princess Patt is, therefore, like a younger sister to the prince.

Add a little more salt.

Make sure you pound it thoroughly.

Yes, Ma’am.

Can you cut the pork into smaller pieces?

Yes, Ma’am.

Why don’t you try doing it like this, Lady Pin?

Although she might be strict, meticulous,…

and strongly adhere to the tradition

she loves me dearly, and always teaches me and educates me with a lot of things.

Just like the prince and Princess Alisa, who have always been kind to me.

His Highness Prince of the Savettavarit Palace

and Her Serene Highness Princess Alisa.

They have three children together – two sons and a daughter.

The eldest son is His Serene Highness Prince Anantawut,

a kind, caring, and very modern brother.

The second son is His Serene Highness Prince Arnon,

a prince charming and a pleasure seeker who is now studying in the UK like his older brother.

Where is Anin?

I’m here.

And the youngest daughter who is His Highness Prince’s favourite child.

Her Serene Highness Princess Anilaphat Savettavarit.

She is known for her God-given beauty

a gracious and noble princess of the Savettavarit Palace.

But in fact…

she has climbed all the trees in the palace.

And if the prince is interested in any tree in particular,

Your Highness!

that tree will always be the target of Anin and Prik in the next morning.

Your Higness! Please come down.

Lady Pin will give you an earful if she sees you like this.

She wouldn’t know. She’s always busy in the kitchen.

Who is always busy in the kitchen?

Pin!

Please hurry up, Your Highness. Someone might find out.

I’m trying.

This is Prik, Princess Anin’s personal servant,

a loyal maid and a minion who always stays by her master’s side.

Prik, catch me.

Not to mention other mischievous deeds like climbing the palace wall

- or sneaking out of the palace. - Be gentle, okay?

Oh, Pin.

They even dressed up as ghosts to spook out servants in the palace.

Hey, where are you going?

I have to go, Your Highness.

Prik.

Oh.

Here you go.

Pin.

Prik!

Why are you doing this again, Your Highness?

You could have told me if you want to eat anything.

Stealing food is such bad habit.

Well, it doesn’t taste that good if I can get it easily.

Why are you still not dressed up?

A welcome party for Prince Arnon is going to start soon. You should go and get ready, Your Highness.

Before I’d get angry.

You’re so fussy, Pin.

Did you get hurt again?

You’re a lady now, Anin. When will you stop running around like a child?

I’m growing weary of telling you off.

I’m not running around.

I just want to eat something delicious.

And I want you to try it too.

Did I say I wanted to?

You just want to be mischievous, that’s all.

People are saying that it is so hard to hear Lady Pin uttering a word.

As if you’re afraid something will fall out of your mouth.

But this time, you keep complaining so much that I have to plead guilty.

That’s because you’re so stubborn.

Please go get yourself ready, Your Highness. The welcome party for your brother is about to begin.

Or else you won’t make it in time.

Okay.

Are you doing well, Your Highness?

Yes.

Where is Anin, my favourite daughter?

Princess Patt told me she was still up to something mischievous earlier, Father.

But Lady Pin is probably trying to get her changed into a new dress at the moment.

We haven’t seen her for years. She’s probably so grown up now.

There she is, Your Highness.

Anin.

Is that Princess Anin?

Brother!

Let’s go, Pin.

Anin!

I miss you so much.

I miss you too, Anin.

When I left, you were only as tall as my elbow.

But look at you now.

You are almost as tall as me.

Anin is like my eldest daughter.

I took really good care of her.

I even fed her with butter and milk like the westerners.

This must be Lady Pin,

the one you often told me about in your letter. Am I correct?

Yes, Brother.

Wow, let me have a look at my favourite niece. You look so pretty, Lady Pin.

So pretty like a doll.

Aren’t you being a little biased, Mother?

Your youngest daughter also looks very pretty today. Why did you only compliment Lady Pin?

She is so fond of Lady Pin.

She always mentions how she wants another daughter. She no longer wants me as her daughter.

But how can you be my daughter, Anin?

You are so naughty like a monkey.

Ah, now I know why you love to climb up my trees.

Try this, Pin.

I’d rather not.

It’s good.

Let’s dance.

Right here?

Mhm.

I just had a class in dancing. Can you help me practise and be my partner?

I’d rather not. Aren’t you supposed to do it with a gentleman?

It would look peculiar if we do it together.

Why not? Does anyone ever say that a lady must only dance with a gentleman?

Come on, Pin. It seems fun.

No, Your Highness.

Hold my arm.

I don’t know how to dance, Your Highness.

Just follow my lead.

Is this a welcome party for my second brother, or his marriage prospects meeting?

Soon, you will have to follow suit.

I will refuse then. I will tell Father that I do not wish to be married.

I’d rather grow old in this palace with you.

You already gave me your words, Your Highness.

Have I ever abandoned you?

No…Never, Your Highness.

Hello, my name is Sasa.

Pin.

Why are you crying?

I’m lonely. I miss my home.

Why are you lonely?

Sasa is your friend now.

I miss my parents.

Then I can be a father and a mother for you too.

I can be anything that you want. Anything at all.

Be it a father, a mother, an older sister, or a younger one.

Or a pig?

Oink! Oink!

Or maybe…a dog?

Woof! Woof!

Or a cat?

Meow! Meow!

Or a rabbit?

Oh, you’re laughing!

This is yours, please keep it.

So that you’ll have him to comfort you when you’re lonely.

And also to remind you that you still have me.

Stop!

Anin!

Let’s go.

Why don’t you go in your own car, Your Highness? Where’s your driver?

I want to go to school with you.

So, I told him to drive around somewhere.

Let’s go, Perm.

Prik, I’ll do the running. You just throw it up, okay?

Yes, Your Highness.

Let’s go!

Prik!

Go and fetch it.

I’m sorry, Your Highness.

I’ll give you another chance.

If you still can’t do it, I’ll punish you.

Ouch!

Pin!

Help! Please help! Lady Pin got bitten by a snake!

It hurts, Your Highness.

It hurts so much.

What are you doing? Don’t do it, Your Highness!

What were you thinking? Why did you take her out to play something dangerous like that?

I’m sorry, Your Highness. It was all my fault.

Stop!

Why did you hit her?

Lady Pin failed to take good care of Your Highness.

She also left you in disgrace and put you in danger.

Fortunately, that snake is not venomous.

It was I who asked her to do such a mischievous deed with me.

She was the one who saved me from danger.

If it wasn’t for her, I would have been bitten by the snake myself.

If you’re going to punish her, you must punish me too.

Then I’m afraid I will have to send Lady Pin to a boarding school

in order to put a stop to all these mischievous deeds.

Please don’t do that.

No.

I’m not going to leave her.

If she goes, so will I.

Without you, I wouldn’t have been able to go through those lonely and miserable time.

Thank you for being my friend, my home, and my everything.

I’m your pig, Oink! Oink!

Your dog, Grrr!

Your cat, Meow!

Your rabbit.

Stop that, Your Highness. It’s embarrassing.

I’ll never leave you, Pin. You won’t be lonely anymore.

I want to send her to study in England.

Father wants me to go study in England?

If one day I couldn’t be here to play with you, will you feel lonely?

The Loyal Pin

The Loyal Pin

Refreshments, Your Highness.

Thank you.

I’m thinking of sending Anin to study in England like both of her brothers.

I beg your pardon, Your Highness?

I thought you said you wouldn’t send her to study abroad.

What made you change your mind, Father?

You’re very fond of her and have always wanted to keep her near.

Everyone is well aware of this. You often mentioned…

how you never wanted her to stay far away from you.

It’s probably because Lord Pinij kept persuading him.

That’s right.

Lord Pinij told me that, in school, Anin is far more intelligent than other girls her age.

Not furthering her study in the Western countries…

would be such a waste.

I disagree with you, Your Highness.

Anin is still very young.

Don’t you worry about her at all?

Of course, I do. But this is what we should do.

I do not want our youngest daughter…

to feel inferior to her brothers.

Shall we wait until Princess Anin is a little older, Your Highness?

Very well then, I’ll have a thought about it.

Today, we will be making fruits in syrup.

Using only watermelons and mangoes, my lady?

Yes. Watermelons have cooling effects. They can cool down the heat in your body.

Carve them into a rose shape, which is perfect for one bite.

Peel the fermented mangoes,

and carve them into a flower and a leaf shape. Then start making the syrup.

Sprinkle a little salt.

Add pandan leaves for better aroma.

Slowly simmer it.

And finally…

Now, you are mastering it. I remember when I still had to hold your hands to guide you while carving.

It took you a dozen of mangoes and watermelons before you could carve out a nice shape.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Prik, bring it to the princess too.

Yes, Your Highness.

Aren’t you going to see Princess Alisa?

I have to attend a funeral this evening. I might return very late.

You can go to sleep first. Don’t wait for me.

Yes, Your Highness.

Fruits in syrup, Your Highness.

Lady Pin made this herself.

Lady Pin’s dessert is the best.

I’d feel so lonely without you.

Why are you talking as if I will no longer be with you, Mother?

It’s your father. He mentioned that he might send you to study abroad like your brothers.

Father is going to send me abroad?

It’s just a thought.

I’m sure he still hasn’t made up his mind.

I hope he will finally change his mind.

It’s your father. He mentioned that he might send you to study abroad like your brothers.

My princess, why do you look so serious?

I have to ponder over something important.

Where is Princess Patt going, Prik?

Princess Pattamika is attending her friend’s funeral on the outskirts of town, Your Highness.

Does this mean she wouldn’t be home tonight?

You can be sure of that, Your Highness.

Oh, that smirk on your face. What are you planning to do, Your Highness?

Where did you say you wanted to take me to?

There’s an annual night market tonight. I want you to come with me.

I’m afraid I can’t.

Don’t worry, my lady.

My princess and I often sneaked out to the market. It’s not dangerous at all.

We actually had so much fun, my lady.

Please come with us. An opportunity like this doesn’t come to you that easily.

No, Your Highness.

Please, Pin.

Please.

Please say yes.

Please.

Please?

Please.

Please come with us.

Okay.

Do you enjoy it?

Yes.

I had always wanted to take you here.

But I never had a chance.

Today, my dream has finally come true.

If His Highness Prince found out that you often sneak out at night like this…

he would surely be so angry.

Well, I’m dying to know what the world outside a palace is like.

I’ll give you an eye-opening experience to day.

Can’t you eat faster, Koi?

What’s with the fuss, Prik?

- So good.

- When will Princess Anin and Lady Pin come back?

- I don’t know too.

- How can you not know?

- What if Princess Pattakima came back before Lady Pin?

- What would you do then?

- Oh, she went to the outer part of town. She won’t be back soon.

- What if I already am?

- Answer me.

- Nothing, Your Highness.

- Very well then. Can you go tell Lady Pin to come see me, Prik?

- Lady Pin is not home, Your Highness.

- Where is she?

- Did you have a good time today?

I had a really great time.

Yes, I did.

With you, my life in the palace is never lonely.

If one day, I could no longer be here with you,

will you feel lonely?

Without you, who would have kept me busy with all those mischievous deeds?

I wanted to know if you would feel lonely.

I don’t know.

It’s not happening yet.

But for me…

I would feel so lonely without you.

Is there something wrong? Why are you asking me this question?

My lady!

Lady Pin.

Princess Patt has told me to take you back home.

Is she home already?

Yes, my lady.

Why did you sneak out of the palace at night?

I’m truly sorry, Your Highness.

If Pin will get punished,

then so will I.

The Loyal Pin

The Loyal Pin

It was already dark, why didn’t you stay inside the palace?

I’m truly sorry, Your Highness.

It was very reckless of me.

It was my fault.

I made her go out to the market with me.

You made her?

Did you tie her hands and dragged her out of this palace with you?

Did she do that, Lady Pin?

No, Your Highness.

I went with her at my own will.

Since you have done something wrong,

I must punish you.

But I don’t think leaving the palace at night is a wrong doing.

The only thing wrong is that we didn’t inform you beforehand and made you worried about us.

Staying outside the palace after dark while there were only us girls.

It seems you are very well aware of my thoughts, Princess Anin.

But why did you still do it?

Because I’m still a child.

A child who is hardly able to overcome her own curiosity.

But hearing your concern earlier,

I now understand that you have your own reasons to worry about us.

But when I consider them again, there are some parts that I agree with.

And some that I disagree with.

Which part do you disagree with me?

I disagree with you because in fact…

the world outside is such an interesting place.

A child shouldn’t be kept locked up inside the palace.

An adult should accompany her outside and give her guidance and advice.

Interesting.

if children like you do not wish to stay only inside the palace,

then maybe next time, I should take Lady Pin…

and Princess Anin to the funeral with me.

Oh, maybe not the funeral, please.

Nevertheless,

Lady Pin must receive her punishment today.

You will be caned three times…

and grounded for a week.

Yes, Your Highness.

If she will get punished,

then so will I.

I was the one who started it.

Although you refuse to punish me,

Prik and I insist on staying at the Lotus Palace with Lady Pin…

for seven days and seven nights.

Very well then,

I will punish you too, Princess Anin.

My sincere gratitude for your kindness.

Both of you will be grounded to copy the textbooks in the Study Room.

You cannot leave the room all day.

But I’m afraid you can’t stay there for seven days and seven nights.

His Highness Prince will be very furious if I do that.

Yes, Your Highness.

My princess,

why must you insist on having Princess Pattamika punish you too?

So that I can be with Lady Pin.

Please stop joking around, Your Highness.

I’m not.

I’m serious.

I was the one who convinced you to come with me.

So, I must take responsibility for it.

How could I abandon you and let you get punished alone?

It’s not easy at all to punish Anin.

She is very smart.

I agree, Your Highness.

I’m afraid I had let her spend too much time with Prince Anan.

He graduated from Europe.

So, he tends to be very liberal.

He also raised up Anin like his own daughter.

She is truly walking in his footsteps.

Poor Lady Pin, I really pity her.

She often gets punished because of Anin.

I wonder how she’s doing.

Princess Patt told us to copy the textbooks, why do you only keep drawing, Your Highness?

Why should I copy them?

They already contain all the letters and words.

So that you can memorize them.

You were so serious…

when you promised Princess Patt about the punishment.

I promised to never leave this room.

But I didn’t say I would copy textbooks.

What is it that you’re drawing? It looks like a muddle.

I’m drawing you.

Am I that ugly?

Why? Do you think it’s ugly?

I think it’s pretty.

Which part exactly that is pretty?

This part.

It’s the model who is pretty.

Anin.

I’ll draw a new one then.

So that it would look pretty like the model.

Please feel free to do as you wish.

As if you would listen to me if I stop you.

Pin.

Pin.

Please smile.

Like this.

Smile.

How does it look?

Pretty.

Really?

Pretty hideous.

Why are the head so big and the limbs so thin?

Is it not similar?

Absolutely not.

Not only that you refuse to copy the textbooks, you also keep bothering me.

If you draw me again, I will be offended.

Then I’ll draw something else.

I shall not pay attention to you anymore.

I thought you said you wouldn’t pay attention to me.

Why do you keep looking at me?

Spending time here with you is so much fun.

I should find more opportunities to be with you alone like this.

I’d like to stay over at the Lotus Palace with Lady Pin.

The examination is approaching.

I’d like her to help enlighten me in the subjects that I’m not good at.

The Loyal Pin

The Loyal Pin

I heard you were detained to copy textbooks all day as a punishment.

You must have acquired a lot of knowledge then.

A lot indeed, Father.

Really? I can’t believe it.

Of course, Mother.

Lady Pin has taught me a lot of things.

She made me fell in love with studying.

Is that true?

Yes, Father.

That’s why I’d like to ask Princess Patt for a permission.

A permission for what?

Probably to go out somewhere.

No, Father. I’d like to stay over at the Lotus Palace with Lady Pin.

The examination is approaching.

There are many subjects that I’m still not good at.

I’d like Lady Pin to help enlighten me in those subjects.

But I’m afraid it would be too dangerous…

if I have to walk back to the Main Palace…

very late at night after the study session.

She has her reason.

My princess is so smart.

What would you say then, Patt?

I do not have any objection, Your Highness.

Then I’ll leave this matter to you.

Please provide her with any necessities.

Yes, Your Highness.

My sincere gratitude for your kindness.

Please come in.

Wow, is this your room?

How are we going to study?

I don’t see you carrying any textbook.

The most powerful weapon lies within your heart. So does the book.

I just want to spend a night with you.

That’s all.

I knew it. How very unlikely of you to wish to study.

Do you still keep this pinwheel?

How could I throw it away? You gave it to me.

I still remember vividly the time when I first came to live here.

My life was so lonely and miserable.

And then you came into my life.

You played with me and even made a toy for me.

I have never seen you used this navy ribbon before.

That ribbon is not mine.

You dropped it in the car on your way back to the palace.

I brought it back and washed it.

I was planning to return it to you…

but I forgot.

Is that so?

Yes.

Shall we begin the study session, Your Highness?

I don’t want to study.

I’m sleepy. Let’s go to sleep.

Are you going to sleep here?

Princess Patt has already arranged a guest room for you.

Let Prik sleep there then.

I’m going to sleep here.

Your bed has plenty of room.

Come sleep next to me, Pin. And read me a story, will you?

You surely want everything your way.

Please come.

Come on.

Let me do it.

Isn’t this a handkerchief I gave you on that day when Princess Patt was angry at you?

I already washed it and folded it on the bed.

I was planning to return it to you…

but I forgot.

Smells wonderful.

You seem to be very forgetful.

It’s been quite a long time.

You don’t have to return it to me.

I give it to you.

I didn’t say I wanted it.

Even so, I want to give it to you.

Please keep it as a reminder that I was the one who wipe away your tears.

If you insist that you’d like to give it to me,

then I will take very good care of it.

Lady Pin.

Are you carving a mango?

Yes, Your Highness.

Why do you have to carve so many mangoes?

How can we finish them?

There are only two of us in this palace.

Just in case, Your Highness.

In case Princess Anin might visit here,

then I can serve her with these mangoes.

They are her favourites.

But I believe she is more likely to favour the desserts placed next to the woodshed.

She is very mischievous, Your Highness.

If Princess Anin has to be away,

you would be so lonely, wouldn’t you?

Away?

I heard Princess Anin is going to further her study in Europe like her older brothers.

Prince Arnon went to London when he was 18 years old.

But Princess Anin is only 15 years of age.

It’s still a few more years until she’d leave, isn’t it?

I’m afraid no, Lady Pin.

She is planning to travel in the next two months.

Next two months?

Yes.

The Loyal Pin

Lady Pin has been crying so hard, Your Highness. My heart aches for her.

Then I should go and console her.

You’re smiling!

I’m so fortunate…

that I can still attend the Loy Krathong festival with you this year…

before you will go away.

How I wish you didn’t have to go, my dear.

Lady Pin!

A letter from Princess Anin, my lady.

Oh, look at those gleeful smiles you have there, my lady.

The Loyal Pin
