Chapter 1

Visiting her grandmother had to be one of her favourite things to do when her mother had spare time. Unlike her grandmother, she lived right in the centre of Paris where horse drawn carriages filled every spot in the city and businessmen hurried around everywhere in their top hats and canes. It scared her.

But her grandmother lived in an old castle in the country side, where she was residing in her old age. The excitement she felt as she passed the familiar fields of lavender, sitting opposite her mother, made her jump in her seat. Her mother chuckled at her, 'Alexis, my darling, please sit still, we will be there any second now.'

Alexis moaned, 'But mother! It's been so long and I want to run through the garden!'

Her mother smiled at her, 'Just remember not to wreck the roses like last time otherwise the gardener will get grumpy at you again.'

Alexis blushed and hid her face behind a wave of her long, amber hair. She gazed out over the fields as the last familiar rows of trees began to come into view and she jumped up in eagerness to poke her head out of the window.

The large castle came into view and the carriage slowed right down as they came to a stop right in front of it.

Alexis waited impatiently for the footman to open the door before quickly thanking him and sprinting through the midday sun into the large oak doors of the castle. One of the butlers swiftly moved to let her through as she ascended quickly up the staircase, barely taking into mind of the gorgeous paintings and antique items around her. The red carpet underneath her feet felt as smooth as ever as she quickly reached the top and turned right, out of view.

Her mother watched her disappear from view and chuckled before accepting the hand of one of the butlers, thanking him kindly and smoothly entering the castle, apologizing to all the maids for the sudden outburst of her child.

Alexis turned a couple more times before entering the room she'd been missing for too long. As she arrived, she smiled at the familiar view in front of her.

The large room overlooked the extravagant gardens and rolling hills in the background. A large pond lay amongst the gardens and the soothing sunlight peered through the windows, casting a familiar warmth across the room.

Alexis poked her head into the room just as her grandmother's maid spotted her and smiled. She whispered to the large armchair that sat in front of the window, the plush velvet wrinkling as a head slowly looked around one side. The figure smiled at her and Alexis ran swiftly, weaving around various tables and chairs to reach her grandmother and quickly wrapped her arms around her neck.

'Grandmother!' The figure chuckled and settled Alexis on her knee.

'Hello my dear, my my, look at how much you have grown!' Alexis giggled as her grandma tickled her with a smile on her face, the twinkle in her eye shining and Alexis quickly jumped off her lap and dusted off her dress.

'Mama brought me a new dress. Do you like it?'

'Yes indeed. Royal is definitely a beautiful colour on you.'

Alexis beamed before noticing her mother enter the room. Her grandmother turned around as Alexis' mother approached them. Her mother had a sense of grace as she approached them, her brunette hair curled up into an elegant up do.

'Hello Eliza, and how are you doing?'

'Well, now that my favourite granddaughter is here.' Alexis' mother smiled and excused herself to go fetch her purse.

Once her mother had left the room, Alexis whispered into Eliza's ear, 'Did you find the painting?'

Eliza smiled and nodded, 'Would you like to see it?'

Alexis nodded enthusiastically and her grandmother graciously stood and took the young girls hand before slowly leading her from the room.

They slowly walked down a long corridor, talking about the youngsters' tutoring and family before arriving in front of a smaller painting compared to the rest in the house.

The painting was of two people, a man and a woman whom were dancing obliviously as the painter had caught the wonderstruck smiles on their faces as they gazed into each other's eyes. The emerald pendant drawn on the lady's neck brought out the bright green colour of her eyes whilst the man was dressed in a royal blue outfit which brought out his clear blue ones. The two were embraced in each other, unaware of the world around them.

Alexis stepped forward slowly, gazing in wonder at the painting. She slowly turned to look at her grandmother whispering in awe, 'Is that-?'

Eliza smiled, 'Yes. That, my dear, is my grandmother. I met her a couple of times when I was younger. She was a beautiful lady. She always used to walk around, as she hadn't a care in the world. And she loved by grandfather very much.'

Alexis nodded before silently surveying the painting for a short time before a smile appeared on her face and she whispered to her grandmother, 'Could you tell me about her?'

'I can. Did you know that she was a princess?'

'A princess?' Alexis eyes widened in awe.

'Yes, but she wasn't always a princess.'

'Could you,' Alexis bit her lip as she paused hesitantly, 'Could you tell me about her?'

Her grandmother nodded and held her hand out for Alexis to take. They slowly made their way back to the sun lit room.

When she made sure Alexis was comfortable she grabbed the box that was sitting on the coffee table beside her grand arm chair. She placed it on her lap and slid open the lid of the box, gently revealing a silver slipper with little shades of glass crystals ornamenting the outside of the shoe, in which she placed in Alexis' hands. Alexis' mouth hung open in wonder and she looked at her grandmother excitedly, 'A princess' shoe?'

'Indeed,' Eliza placed the box next to her chair, 'This shoe is the whole reason in why we are here today.'

Alexis urged her to go on and her grandmother chuckled before continuing the story.

'Her name was Katherine. Katherine Beckett.'

'Now then,' Eliza paused, confused,' What is that phrase they use now?' Her eyes lit up in recognition, 'Oh yes.'

She smiled at the young girl, 'Once upon a time, there lived a young girl, who loved her father very much….'
