Chapter 1
It was a warm day, I was 6 playing with my carer in the large palace garden. I was always a friendly playful child, all the palace maids, servants and butlers loved me, I was a smart girl for my age my tutors had taught me well up to that point, I could fluently speak Latin, French, Greek, Italian and Potuguese , which is quite impressive for a child my age. But that day felt odd, There weren't the usual long conversations just the odd "Evenin' Princess Adele" and hushed whispers around the castle. I wandered the palace for hours longing for someone to show off my talents to... and that's when I heard them
"Y-Your majesty, please for the sake of the royal family, forget about me, you can't stay with me with a family of your own and a child on the way, it would be selfish" said a feeble voice
"Don't worry about it, it's all worth it for us we can start our own family, as soon as my son is born the three of us will leave, vanish without a trace to start our own family." I knew who's voice that was as soon as he started talking.
He couldn't be serious, could he. Tears welled in my eyes just thinking about it, he was just going to leave me and mum just like that. I stumbled into the room wiping my face and trying to conceal all traces of tears.
"MY, P-PRINCESS ADELE, I DIDN'T SEE YOU THERE, MY APOLOGIES" The palace maid said with a flustered face, she had long shiny blonde hair and a beautiful face adorned with freckles and beauty spots.
"Dad, you weren't really going to leave me were you ?"
"Sweetheart, we were just having a grown-up conversation " he said gesturing to the maid
"I'm telling mum" I said defiantly
"No you mustn't do that Adele" He said now looking slightly worried
"I'm telling her" I repeated
"Then you leave me no choice " He looked at the maid solemnly "Hold her still"
He drew out his sword and approached me looking sorry as the maid held my arms behind me. I quivered in fear as he whispered "Forgive me, daughter" . SLICE . I was no longer looking at things through my eyes. I looked down at the gruesome scene shocked at what I saw. My head separated partially from my neck, blood covering the floor, father's sword and the maid's uniform. Now I looked at myself I noticed features I never saw before, my two-toned hair of blonde and brown and my blemished skin, with birth marks and bruises all over me from when I would fall over.
