"Nervous, trip over my words
You're so pretty it hurts
Baby, I'm yours, Baby, I'm yours, Baby, I'm yours
I need something more
I'll pray to the Lord
That baby, I'm yours"

The princess sipped water out of a crystalline glass, hints of lime bursting on her tongue. Her shoulders were wrapped with a thick blanket, as she sat with her arms around her knees on her balcony window.

It was snowing. It was not the first time having seen it, since she traveled to all corners of her territory.

The white flakes rained down like ash across the singed landscape, softening the sharpness of the whetted kingdom. The ocean melted the snow, like the flakes warming on the tip of one's tongue. The garden was given a new, wintery life. And the rest of the castle grounds stood out like shiny mountains, the smooth, black, and sharp surface blunted.

As she held the blanket more tightly around her, cup shaking in her hand, and the heat of her fireplace nipping her back, she couldn't help but feel guilty.

Leila had known there had been others before her. The curse cycled every hundred years, so there had to have been at least two other daughter of the moon's birthed. Yet, in her training, she had never been told of them or their stories. An oversight, that now made little sense to her.

And now, she lay in the confines of a beautiful room. Married to the man that was supposed to torture her, siphon from her. The whole kingdom had expected it, for now the snide remarks from other subjects had began to make sense. How Jeongguk had told her that she was meant to be used. That Aera called her a glorified whore. How that other vampire, Garnett, completely dismissed her from Juliette despite her status.

I was not taken seriously.

They had been disappointed, that Taehyung chose to raise her to level of a princess. When all she was supposed to be, was an offering for blood. Kept in a leash, so that Taehyung could keep the curse intact, and still offer them a supply.

She shivered once more, the image of the black haired woman she never met, chained and bloodied in the dungeon arose. Each time it appeared in her mind, more daunting than the last. Sorina, a daughter of the moon that had endured so much pain.
