I hate history lessons! My teachers always make me remember every detail about my ancestors lives. The stories that circulate amongst the common people are actually close to the truth. I wish they'd tell me about what happened to people who were involved after the story ends. I love knowing more information than what people expect me to know. It makes me feel powerful without actually having any magic. When I have spare time, I love looking in the library for interesting pieces of information. This is not an easy task because the library is a disaster! Records are mixed with story books and story books are mixed with records! No one listens to me when I demand that someone should fix the library. When I am queen, that will change, I guarantee it! Now I've gotten myself on a tangent.
On one of my searches I discovered that Cinderella's step-family was executed for treason two years after the marriage had taken place. Of course, I couldn't find any more details beyond that. I'm sure there is more information somewhere, but I don't have weeks to go searching through the library. What happens after happily ever after, those are the things that I want to learn about, not the stories that any common person would know. Sometimes I think that they don't want me to learn something, but lots of people know things that I do not.

I've found that secret that they've been trying to hide from me for all of these years. One of my brilliant teachers decided that I needed to make a complete family tree so I can remember my family history. I already know my entire family history, but I couldn't complain or I'd get into trouble. I've annoyed too many teachers for my parents to sympathize with me, and let's just keep it at that. After thinking about it, I admit that I know the direct family line by heart, but the older lines, before Cinderella, are interesting because most of them have nothing to do with fairy tales. I don't feel so alone anymore because I know I'm not the only one. While I was looking at the official family tree, I never had a reason to look at it before and even a princess needs an official reason to look at it. It's a silly rule my parents implimented, but I know why they did it now. Anyway, I discovered that I have an older brother named Jacob. There wasn't a date of death listed by his name, but I don't remember him at all. He is three years older than me, so maybe he disappeared when I was really young. I haven't confronted anyone with this yet, but I want answers and I won't stop asking questions until I find some.

History lessons still drive me crazy! Today, my teacher went on about my grandmother's story for what seems like the millionth time! Do they honestly think that I forget things overnight or even over a year? My teacher did redeem himself a little when he lectured about Dark Magic and Magic of Light. It amazes me that Dark Magic is more powerful than Magic of Light. It really hampers the idea that good always triumphs over evil, but I don't know of any instance where Dark Magic was not defeated. A Dark Magic spell can never be completely broken by Magic of Light, but the spell can be changed enough to possibly bring about a more positive outcome. I suppose my grandmother's story is the best example of how Dark Magic and Magic of Light work against one another. At least it's a piece of information that could be useful one day, and it's most likely one of the few useful facts I've ever learned in my history lessons!
I'm still trying to find the best moment to discuss my missing brother with my parents. I'm still nervous about asking them, and it's not easy to find time when our discussion will not be interrupted by anyone. Hopefully I'll find the strength to talk with them.
