I was born in a European castle, surrounded by dozens of servants whose only purpose was to serve me. I lived in a French palace with acres and acres of manicured lawns, and a tall iron wrought gate was that locked every night at midnight by the knights who spent their lives on the perimeters of our lovely estate. Now that you know that, I can tell you the boring story.
I was born in a run down hospital, near Hakone. My parents gave me the unfortunate name of Taeko Yasuhiro. They drove me home in their grungy Toyota. We pulled in to a disgusting driveway next to their repulsive excuse for a house. When I was born I screamed at the top of my lungs. Even then I knew I didn't belong there. I belong in a castle, filled with Vampires and silver crystals. My parents aren't dishwashers. My father is a French nobleman who was gifted an enormous palace that is my family's summer home. My mother is a German musician who is known the world over for her brilliant compositions, and the magical sounds she makes on the viola.
when I was three years old, my gruesome stand-in for a mother bought me a ragged scruffy and ugly gray Persion. As I was of course in rage at this distasteful "gift" I considered throwing the cat out the window, as it deserved. However I decided to take pity on the beast. It would be the first of my grand army of beasts. I couldn't speak very well back then so my parents named the thing Feather. The beast's name was Grand Bois Cheri Ludenberg. It would be my personal slave. I decided it's hunting grounds would be the Towa Public Hall. my pathetic father refused to feed it freshly caught catfish. What a slacker.
I will soon be executed and that's why I have written this. I think it's essential that my legacy, the legacy of Celestia Ludenberg will live on for generations. Children will hear the story of her Majesty, the gambling queen who killed many to achieve her lofty dreams.
The queen who wanted nothing more then a palace run by vampire servants or perhaps just the extraordinary villainous witch who was executed. Like a queen.
So Junko, I know it's you. I don't know who was killed that day but I know you're still alive. And I want you to know that I am anticipating my execution with pure delight. Nothing you can do will cause me despair, because no matter what, I will no longer be Taeko Yasuhiro. I will be a queen.
I will be Celestia Ludenberg.
