DECEMBER 24, 1996. Annie and I were born at midnight, a minute before Christmas . It was snowing extraordinarily by the time I was pushed out of my mother's womb. I didn't see, but I know because my instinct felt it. I was first to come out and was followed by Annie. Annie, whom everyone's favorite. Never did she fail anyone and so did I, though I don't get the same treatment as her.
Mostly, people would call me Lucy, short for Lucinda, my second name. I'm a princess, though I don't really acknowledge it because I act like one of the boys. Denis is the eldest and the only boy, followed by Sofia, then Me and Annie but only Denis spends time with me.
Weird. Most of the kingdoms would choose the eldest as the heir, while here in Eidlle it's by choice. Many years ago the king change the law to choose freely of who's the worthy in the family, changing the constitutional monarchy to absolute power. No one resisted because they trusted him. Good thing's chaos or conflict never happen. Now, that we have Annie as the next heir, I feel like it shouldn't be her. I'm not jealous, I just want to be like her. Appreciated, honored, and respected. What if someday she'll banish so I can be the next queen?
