!ATTENTION!

I've found I always like it when writers add a 'letter to their beloved readers', so I took it upon myself to write one for you all. If you don't want to read it, then scroll on down to my very large, very detailed disclaimer, which applies to THE ENTIRE STORY. But I strongly recommend that you do, for it has some reasonably important information.

Dear Reader,

First off, welcome to my first Twilight fanfiction that has any extension whatsoever. My first one was a humorous little one-shot that I wrote while very bored on a hot summer day, and it was hilarious. But, I want to write something long, dramatic, AND funny. So, welcome to A Catastrophe of Monarchial Hearts. (which, I am going to stick with! Yay!)

Now, this story introduces four of my personal characters (actually six, but only four are very important), who will be in every other story I ever publish. One of them will be in the role of the Prince, and the others are Knights of the Realm. Yes, I could have just as easily done this all Twilight, with no extras, but if I did that, it would be a train wreck.

Given that this is a Knights/Swords/Princess/Prince type plot line, it does take place in a Medieval setting. But, I was too lazy to do the research needed to set this in Earth's history. I was also too lazy to go through developing my own little world. So, this story actually takes place in the Tortallan Universe, a world invented by the ingenious Tamora Pierce for four of her series. BUT, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE READ ANY OF HER BOOKS TO READ THIS FANFICTION. All of the terms are very self explanatory, but, if you do have any questions regarding anything, write it in your review (which you WILL write) and I'll get back to you with a definition or explanation. But, like said, most everything is self explanatory. If you have read Tamora Pierce, then good for you, this should be fun. If I commit any inaccuracies to the Tortallan Universe, it is on purpose and I will make a note of it at the bottom of the chapter.

Finally, I recommend that you read this (see the top righthand cormer, just above the chapter drop menu) in ½ size, not full, it will be easier to read, because the story is double spaced.

I'm quite sure that's it. Now, onto the disclaimer, thank you for reading my long spiel. I hope you enjoy the story.

Sincerely,

Animo Et Fide

There is just one more thing, a shout out to RangerGurl97. I read your profile, and Levi would like to tell you that your uses of 'cute' and 'kinda hot' to describe him are utterly INSULTING. He is smoking hot as hell, and nothing less.
