87 Free Reign! by GT Dodge

The King names her Princess for a Day. The day of Apriltide - the Rite of Spring. She reigns freely. "FREE REIGN" is a play on words invented on SOL by an uncelebrated poet alluding to the real idiom, "FREE REIN" which is based on controlling a deer or a horse. See also, Free Rein! on FineStories.com. As I said, free reign does not exist... until today, when I found free reign the only apt expression.
