"Diamond Light"

My tutor of the sciences has required of me to make a journal observing different forms of light around me, and explaining their various natures scientifically. But that shall not be this journal. This journal I shall reserve for my personal feelings of that which I am told to observe, for I believe there is a beauty to be seen in many things beyond their scientific explanations.

You may ask, why do I have a tutor? Simple enough, really. Not a year after we began our rule, Susan suggested we have them because, even though we are kings and queens, we were still children who had not yet finished their education. Plus, we all agreed, it would help us, in some areas, to rule better. Though, I should be finished with all of my tutoring within the year.

I am writing while in my "secret turret". No, it is not really a secret. It is just a small, turret styled room, big enough for one or two people, that everyone knows about; but the only access to it is from my bedchamber. It is my favorite place to sit alone and think. Especially because of the light.

You see, when the light comes through the window, it seems to break in the air and sparkle. Truly! I know such a description probably sounds trite, but I believe it does. I know my tutor would probably say something to the effect of "the breaking of light" and a "prism effect" making it look that way, but I don't care. To me it sparkles. It is a diamond light, and, in it, I feel content and happy.
