Mairin's POV~~~

I sat against the window sill, sobbing. Today was the worst birthday ever! I got up from where I was sitting, and began pacing the room, like my father does.

Hi, I'm Mairin–Princess Mairin. I live in a region called Kalos. It's very beautiful here, and I love it. Today is my birthday and I'm 10 now! You'd think I'd be really happy, but I'm not. My mother just died.

Mother and Father had had 7 miscarriages, it was a horrible time for the 3 of us. But, it was Mother's last time. She died from a miscarriage. I never knew that having a child could be so heartbreaking...

I loved my Mother so, so much. She was my everything. We'd always skip down the castle halls. Or we'd dance outside by the water fountain. She never cared about me getting dirty or messy. All she cared about was that I was happy and healthy.

Father didn't like that I acted like that. He'd tell me to go to dance lessons, or to grow up a little. All the women  in his family are and have been proper. So he expects me to be proper as well.

I looked at the window as it started to pour. That's when I heard a knock on the door. Without an answer, my father walked in.

"I know it's hard.." He hugged me when I ran into his arms. His eyes were bloodshot, he had been sobbing too. "I just want Mother back!" I cried.

"I know...me too."

~3 years later~

"Posture Mairin!" The woman snapped at me. I sighed and stood taller. "No sighing! It is very rude and disrespectful!" She slapped my arm with her fan.

It's been 3 years since Mother passed. Father has been unkind and strict to me ever since that day. My schedule is always lessons, lessons, and more lessons. The woman who always teaches me is Madam Anna–she is the strictest teacher ever.

"Sorry Anna.." I groaned, rubbing my arm. I was slapped in the face with the fan. "Madam Anna!! And NO GROANING!" She hissed.

I looked at my watch. It was time for lunch. "I have to go to lunch." I said quickly. Madam eyed me angrily. Oops..forgot to curtsy..So, I curtsied and ran off.

"WALK!" I heard her yell.
