The Beginning
I always was the outcast in my family. Never appreciated, always taken for granted. But I thought this was normal, at least when, under circumstances, you have to live with your stepmother after no other relatives want you.
My "mother" is the Duchess of Ithia, but she gained the title through marriage with my father, the duke. My stepsisters, Ethel and Edna, are spoiled brats. They never care for anything or anyone but themselves. Well, excluding the Prince. Our prince is Prince George James Raine of Romaine. He's the second-born son of the King and Queen. The other prince, Nicholas Alexander, was sentenced to death for commiting treason. But he was never found. What a man! It's been four years since that event happened and that's when the Prince gained popularity. Trust me, I know.
Ever since the Prince became more popular, I've had to hem and sew more dresses than two teenagers could ever need, my "mother" fired all of the servants and made me do all of the work, and what's worse is I don't even get paid!
Sometimes I wonder what life would have been like if my father were alive. Would I have pretty dresses? Learn elaborate dances? Or even eat fine food? Oh! That would be amazing! But alas, that will never be.
"GIRL!!!! WHERE IS OUR LUNCH? WHERE ARE YOU?!?!" screams my "mother". Time to go.
