Broken Bonds - Book 1 - Severed Ties

Everything's Normal

Since my parents are members of the Imperial Family, the Great Marien the 2nd and Daniel the King of Knights, they spend a lot of time with palace affairs. My mother, Marien, she has lavender hair and sea-green eyes. She also has eidetic memory or otherwise known as photographic memories and well, she is very serious. My father, Daniel has forest green eyes and blond hair, he is quite a jokester, he also has an interest in science, so whenever he has spare time, you know he is inventing something. There is something about them that never changes, no matter how busy they are they always have time for me and my siblings.

Speaking of siblings, its like my siblings are part rivals. All they do is fight. First off, there is my brother, Jason, he is 4 years older than me, but all he knows is how to play tricks and annoy people. One time he even fooled me for 5 minutes, I still can't believe he tricked me into biting a rock instead of brownies. Jason, well, he appears to have lavender hair like my mother and forest green eyes like my father.

My sister or to be exact my twin sister. To be even more exact my older twin sister, apparently she makes a big deal out of it. Honestly, I don't see any difference! My sister, Brianna, is a very popular girl, all she does is gossip and brag all day! While I stay away from the crowd and concentrate on school, she fails her grades and concentrates on staying in fashion. Here I am wearing simple clothing, while she yaps about branded and designed clothes. How did we even become twin sisters? We both look exactly the same, we both have blonde hair like our father, but I have sea-green eyes like mother and she has forest green eyes like our father.

Apparently, the competition for the next heir is in between Jason and Brianna, I think that is why they fight, I don't have a chance against them since I am the youngest, what's the point of fighting for some throne life's, life is way better off without palace affairs.

Then there is my best friend, Luna, the red haired girl. I have known her since preschool. She is a very loyal friend. To be honest, she knows me more than my siblings.  We spend hours together planning on becoming warriors and heroes  that serve our civilization.  My grades at school are skyrocketing because I have eididic memory like my mother, while Luna has average marks. To think both of our parents are part of the royal court is great, the fact that her father is the First in Command Knight, Alexander, feels great.

Since my parents spend time with me and my siblings, My uncle, Mark, is the steward and makes sure everything is on track. He is very nice and spends a lot of time with Brianna and Jason. He talks to me but pays attention to my siblings more. I still don't know why he treats me differently, but all I can say is that he is nice and gentle. He is hard working. However, I didn't know that this attitude of his is just a mask to cover his true intentions.
