"I really didn't see anything special, about the queen." I murmured, "She isn't that pretty, smart, or kind!"
"Young lady! The queen, is the prettiest, smartest, and kindness person of all!" Yelled Aunt Sarah, "How am I even related to you? Go to your room!"
As my aunt babbled on and on about how I was insufferable. I slowly crawled up the stairs.
All through the land of Diteklen, the queen was known as the most beautiful woman out of all.
The generation before, wiped out all of the men in a war. Everyone except, a prince. The most noble man of all. He is said to have a face of butterflies. With a voice like silk. But, he would always wear a mask of iron. He was the one who single handedly won the war. His name is Prince Josh.
Prince Josh is looking for a bride. His first choice is obviously the queen.
Now this is where I come in, I am a humble lady in waiting of the "beautiful" queen. I know what you're thinking, "That selfish girl should honor her role in being in such a high position!"
The thing is, there's something strange about the queen. But, everyone else can't see it. From what I heard, before I became her lady in waiting, was that the queen was beautiful.
When I met her, I accidentally said out loud,"Servant, what art thou doing in the queen's bedroom?!"
She was so ugly and obese, I thought she was a poor servant! I can still feel the scars of where she whipped me. The anger and rage of the first lash.
For I am a twelve year old! I can't believe that I could ever be so abused!
But, what worries me most is, how does everyone love her so much? Is this magic?
