Prologue
I am Clarrisa Fairchild, daughter of the King, Valentine Morgenstern. You may be reading this worn out book by chance or perhaps it is placed somewhere for others to see or view. In this book, I've written events from my past to enlighten you on my mistakes and such.
You can even learn a lesson or two. I was never really a cheerful girl to say the least. Raised by a cruel father did not help much either. Yet, people change correct? That's what they say, don't they? I guess I did not believe that especially at my state of living those years.
To you reader, this is my life story. If you do not care, then simply shut it right now. In this book, you shall find events to be saddening and difficult to believe. I assure you, it's all true. They are merely too tragic to be heard or read. I will start from the beginning, young child. I have learned much at a young age and lost too much to mourn over at the moment.
Being a princess, soon to be queen, was not an easy path. And surely it was not meant for anybody. There were many things that seemed to bring me joy yet I hid them deep within myself, hiding it from all others.
I shall stop this rambling. You are certainly annoyed and quite anxious to read more. Hopefully, you will learn about my family, my friends, and of course my love. This is not some simple story of a naive girl that falls in love with a boy and lives happily ever after. I rarely heard of a book that ended joyously in my childhood.
Before you proceed into this journey, I would like you to remember this. Remember it well. So read on, young one. This is my story, my life, my joys and sorrows, and the path that led me here.
With great wishes and regards,
Queen Clarissa Fairchild
