Galbatorix's Daughter—Prologue

16 years ago in a palace in Urû'baen, in Alagaesia, a new born princess of King Galbatorix and Lady Lela, she was the oldest daughter of the lord of Teirm. The day was April 16. That day when she had her daughter there was an attack on the castle and Galbatorix was busy with fighting Varden, and didn't know his lover was in labor. If he had known he would have left the fighting up to the Ra'zac.

He also didn't know that some of the Varden had snuck into the palace unnoticed by all, and they snuck into the Birthing Room. After the baby was born she named her Galalea, and gave her a gold locket with a "G" on it. The locket had a picture in it that said, "You are the heir to the throne of Alagaesia." It also had a picture of her father in it.

Then without her realizing what had happened she was dead along with all her guards, but one. And he saw what happened. He saw the members of the Varden take the child away, but at least she was alive(he knew that because she was crying, wanting her mother).

When the Varden fled, Galbatorix went to find his lover but she was nowhere to be found. When he asked one of her handmaidens and she said, "She went into labor an hour ago."

At that he ran to the Birthing Room. What he saw when he got there broke his black heart in two. He saw Lela dead and almost all of her guards deceased as well.

The guard that wasn't dead was barely alive. When he asked what had happened, he said, "Mi Lord, we were attacked. . .The Varden killed her. . .They took your. . .Daughter. . .I'm sorry. . .Please forgive me. . ." At that, he died.
