Dear Anna,
Papa told me about the visitors. I know you want to see who it is, but he's right. You're too little yet to understand what they'll be talking about and he wants you to stay out of the way. But even though you can't see them, he still wants you to be good. That means keeping your dress clean and using your good manners. If you can do that, then Mama and Papa will be proud.
I know how you feel. I want to hear the meeting, too, so I know what's going on in our kingdom, but my curse is bothering me today, so Papa said it's best that I stay in my room. I want to play with you, too, but I just can't. I wish I could tell you why. Nothing hurts me more than keeping secrets from you.
Love,
Elsa
After a conversation I had with another FF author, I've decided to start jumping forward in time, possibly starting after the next chapter. Some will be small, like just a couple of months, and others may be big, like a year. This other author helped me realize that the story would get mundane and boring if I keep going the way I am.
To the guest reader who commented on Anna's letters being annoying, please read my AN at the end of the first chapter.
Thanks for reading! More chapters coming soon! :)
