Queens. They are beautiful, sophisticated women with the ability to lead and rule a whole nation. They are described as elegant, polite and charming. They are looked upon in times of need and in return, they help without hesitation.
Knights. They are sworn protectors, warriors. Soldiers. They are there in times of trouble and will fight unwanted foes. Loyally, they protect and guard, challenge, fight and save.
Queens are powerful, a sign that women can do anything, and still wear upon themselves a mask of grace.
In fairy tales, knights are said to ride on white horses and save damsels in distress. Then they get married and live happily ever after.
Did they ever think that somewhere along the line, the mask shatters?
In real life, knights don't live happily ever after.
They often describe me as a queen. A strong woman who never learned to cry or laugh. Someone who can chase away the sorrows in her life. Someone who can stand alone. They think all I can ever do is lead, teach and fight.
And in my life, I didn't get to save any damsels in distress either. All I did was turn into a murderer who tried to slay the only people he grew up with. And in the end, I regretted it all. If you could even compare me to a bold, loyal knight.
They say I'm perfect. Flawless. And if they think that, what could I do but live out what they think I am? A queen. Even a queen needs somebody to cry on. A queen can't live on her own. In truth, I'm no more than a stranger in my own world, if someone could just see that…
They blame me for everything that has happened. They really don't understand, do they? All I ever wanted was to live out my dream. I didn't know that that dream could eventually lead to this. So many innocent people dying…And I thought a knight was supposed to protect people. Maybe my destiny wasn't just cut out like that. Maybe…
I'm not a queen.
I'll never be a knight.
