On the day that the princess was born, there was a fire in this beautiful Country of Jaune. It wiped out majority of the villages and many of the plant life there. Some claimed that it was a prophecy, and those who did were marked as heretics and perished.

The King and Queen were very benevolent rulers, always properly taking care of their people. All of that changed with the princess' birth though. The royal family had been trying to produce an heir for many years, and when the Queen was finally pregnant, it was a girl. Of course the couple was ecstatic for their first child, but in a way, the King started to grow resentment towards his wife. It wasn't her fault that the child was a girl, but he needed someone to blame. The Queen soon became depressed over the course of the child's years from her husband's hatred. She knew that his love for her had died the minute that girl came out. The queen's resentment transferred from her husband, to her child. Luckily, the King loved his daughter. He spoiled her, which made the Queen even more jealous. Soon enough, the Queen grew so depressed and resentful, that she took her own life. The Princess was only 7 at the time, so she didn't understand why her mother had died.

Only a year after the Queen's death, a new Queen was chosen. This woman was much more spiteful towards the Princess and made sure that she could never see the King. The King became very busy with the kingdom that had slowly become infected with the Black Death. Many citizens blamed all of the horrible acts effecting the country on the Princess. To calm them, the King decided it would be best to send his beloved daughter away, to the Country of Aoi. The Princess wished from the bottom of her heart to not leave her beloved country, but she could not go against her father.

When she arrived in the Country of Aoi, she met its Prince, who she developed a crush on. She also befriend a boy who looked almost identical to her, and he was the exact age as her as well. The Princess was often mistaken for the boy, but she enjoyed it. The Princess became very close to the boy, and even asked him to be her personal servant, to which he agreed. After two short years of being in the Country of Aoi, the Princess and her Servant were called back to the Country of Jaune. When she returned, she found out the King, had somehow gotten the Black Death. The Princess questioned whereabouts of the Queen, and her father told her that the Queen had died just months before. The King knew that he didn't have much time left, and his daughter would soon take the throne. She had to know all the proper etiquette of being Queen.

Within the next few months, her father had died and the 10 year old Princess took the throne. She had everything she could ever want. Life for the Princess couldn't have been better. Unfortunately, she had never learned anything on how to take care of her country, and soon, it began to fall into despair.

"Hey Rin!" The girl heard a familiar voice call. She folded a corner on the third page then closed the book.

"Whadda want Len?" She called back.

"We've been here a while, we should probably go. Where'd you go?" He replied.

"Are you still mad?" She shouted.

"Yeah," He replied, "But whatever. You're mom'll get worried."

"Step-mom!" She called as she began to stand in her cozy little spot. She grabbed the other yellow book with her free hand and proceeded to the entrance of the library. When Len spotted her he was shock at what she was holding.

"You're carrying books?" He said, sounding very sarcastic.

"Yeah, so what?" She continued to the exit, ignoring her best friend and his comment. "Did you find anything?"

"Yup, I found that book I was looking at earlier. I've only read a few pages in, but so far its really sad." He answered, following Rin through the exit.

"That's good." She replied. The rest of their walk to Rin's house was fairly silent except the occasional awkward-silence-cough-or-sneeze.

When the two got to her house, she just went in silent, without even saying goodbye. Not that it was a big deal, considering they were neighbors and would see each other tomorrow. Rin went directly to her room and continued to read the book.

Chapter I

Alright, this will be told in real life (regular) and story (italics). Sorry for the Proleuge being so short, I didn't want to make it very long while I accidentally made it short. But still, just imagine that the book isn't that thick, and that Rin isn't reading it in complete detail. Plus the writer of it, isn't actually an author. Anyways, enjoy and remember to please review!
