Chapter 1
Well. My life has never been perfect. My life seems to be a fairy tale, but my fairy tale is a mystery. I don't know who I am. I want to know. Does anyone know? Or am I just a mystery. I do know I am princess Kirstinia, from High Castle. My kingdom is ruled by my mother, queen Zarenta. She is the most beautiful woman in the land. She has luscious long blonde hair that blows in the wind and shines in the sun, like gold. But my mother can over use her powers; she sometimes uses them to look big and strong. I wish she would stop it. It's unfair on our people. She tortures them and over half the peoples population these past 5 months has halved. She says it's for our protection, so they won't get out of control. I despise it. She does it with tigers and lions that are endangered, she burns and eats them, she maybe the most beautiful woman in the land, she maybe protective to her people, but I think there are more ways of doing it.
Mother lately has been searching for a man for me, but I don't want that, I want to choose myself. She controls my life, I want to be free, and I want the people to be free. I witnessed a man been hung today, this happens occasionally, I hate it. My mother might be queen, she might be slightly evil, but I love her. She calls me the brown eyed, brown hair beauty. She says, "You are a brown snow white, if only I were you.". She must be crazy to not wont her looks, no one can be more beautiful than her and she is double my age 26! Probably just trying to make me feel better, "Because I'm only 13 I need cheering up."
Today hasn't been unusual but I don't like it, 3 hangs and one just killed with a shot gun, they call them AK-47's, they're the new things here. Tonight I'm going hunting, I love horses, and mine is called Skip, a dapple grey, 15 hands, and 4 years old. I wouldn't miss riding for the world, I hunt every week, every Wednesday night, and I'm a bit obsessed, this is the only time I ever feel free. Robin is taking me today, he is a lifelong companion of mine, and I trust him with my life. He maybe 31 but he's like my dad, but my dad is dead, killed in war by the other king and Low Castle, I hate him. He is said to have never killed someone, but I know otherwise.
