Ariella: the princess who chose herself
Chapter 1: The Hidden Princess
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl.
She was a princess — the only daughter of the king — but inside the palace, she lived like a servant.
She cleaned the floors.
She helped in the kitchen.
She carried water for the maids.
No one outside the palace knew this.
The king loved her very much. He did not want her to go outside. He believed the world was dangerous. So he kept her inside the palace.
The castle was big and beautiful. There were guards everywhere. The gates were always closed.
But the princess was not happy.
She wanted to see the world.
She wanted to go to school.
She wanted to go to college.
She wanted to meet people who did not know she was a princess.
Every night, she stood by her window and looked at the city lights far away. She wondered what life was like outside the palace walls.
One day, she made up her mind.
She did not want to live only as a princess.
She wanted to find her own name.
And that was the day everything began to change.
End of Chapter 1:
Sometimes the biggest adventure begins the moment you decide to step beyond the familiar walls.
