"THEIR NAMES WILL BE ANASTASIA.., ARJEN AND ARIEN."

Was it a momentary whim? Instead of breaking our necks or burning us to death, the first thing he did was grant us names.

My first memory in this world, was of this man with a voice as strong as Iron and blond hair that gleamed brighter than the sun.

And for a moment, just a second, I was ignorant and thought just maybe...

Maybe this would be better...

Maybe everything would turn out fine.

That was five years ago.. "And now it's our fifth birthday.." I muttered deep in thought, my eyebrows furrowed.

I glanced up from the book I was holding to my two younger siblings, both couldn't be in more different positions.

Arjen was lying flat on his stomach with his head buried in his pillow. Arien stood at our window and although I couldn't see her face, I knew she was looking in both despair and hope outside for maybe someone.

Someone who could save us from this hell hole.

I gritted my teeth and glared harshly at the book. That damned Emperor and his whore.

"What's the point?" Arjen asked me.

My eyes darkened and unconsciously I clutched the book harshly in my hands. If I just had the power to, I'd get Arjen and Arien out of here as fast as possible.

However, I didn't even have influence over the maids here. How could I? They hardly ever talked to us and that damn wench has lost it already.

"Arjen." I warned.

"Nobody cares anyway." He muttered into his pillow. I looked up and saw in his lowered gaze his deep sadness. I felt myself softening at that and put my book back on the desk.

"Hm... That's true." Arien admitted with a sigh.

And I wish it wasn't.

I had learned quite a few things throughout the past years about not only myself and my siblings, but also about this place.

My name is Anastasia Lesley Yuriana and I'm the first Princess of the Empire.

"Are you going to sleep on our fifth birthday, Arjen?" My younger sister asked the blond in bed, who only mumbled something incomprehensible in response.

These two are my younger siblings, Arien Beatrice Yuriana and Arjen Ysilven Yuriana, the second Princess and fourth Prince of the Empire.
