Deception

"Little girl"

Nights were always my favorite. Something about the radiant moon brought comfort to me when I needed it most.

My father loved the night too. He died when I was 6, mother told me it was poison. Who would kill the king?

My father treated everyone with kindness and sympathy. He taught young boys how to train like soldiers and respect our woman in society like worshipers bowing down to a god. or so he claimed. The other woman in our kingdoms can fight along side our knights so effortlessly. Why can they train but I was to sit still and obey.
For me training was forbidden. "Princess can't be elegant and clean if their playing around in the dirt, can they Madeleine?" My father always had a way of making sure I knew my place. I was born to cook, clean, and only have a son. For a son will lead our kingdom to victory, they told me.
Where's the fun in that?

I always fantasized about how a
relationship works, My parents never really showed affection, they would always fight for the most obscure reasons. I know my father once loved my mother, I just wished my mother could realize what she was losing before it was lost.

My eyes open as the radiant sun shines through the satin strained curtains, I open my window carful not to grasp the attention of the maids. They always would tell mother when I woke and when I slept, due to "protection" but I knew the truth.

Mother hated my freedom. If I wanted to wear a simple pair of laced shorts and a tank top I would be lectured on appropriate manors and the proper clothing for a princess. I cherished the small moments I had to myself, where the sun can just shine and I can breath. Find myself. Then after, forget it ever happened and attend to my academics.

Every morning I would meet mother in the dining room for breakfast, carful not to stain my beautiful dinning dress in the process. The dresses were always lovely, but expensive. When I shared my opinion with mother about using money for better sewers, cleaner water and charity to our country she obliged my suggestion and told me the townspeople can fend for themselves.

Later I would meet Mr. Montello in the garden room, to further my studies in agriculture. I love plants, flowers specifically, the Pasque flower. Their bright purple petals could kill anyone within seconds, the aroma causes immediate cardiac arrest.
Beautiful yet deadly.

Finally the clock hits 10:00pm and the nights peaks out through the glistening sun. I wonder whats out there, what's beyond the castle walls. If I'll ever be able to see it, to grasp it even for a second.

I change in my silk nightgown, and dream about a place where I can be free from the walls. But it all will start soon, maybe tomorrow?
