I Am The Queen

Prologue

You know when most five-year-olds think about what they're going to be when they grow up they might? Maybe I'll be a maid, or a cook or even a soldier? Well, when I was little I already knew what I was gonna be, because it was the reason for my birth, the reason for my existence.

I was born to be a queen. At the age of ten, you would probably think, 'What happens to be daddy's little princess?' Well, I skipped the whole princess thing, because, I was next in line because of my dear sister, Mary.

She was murdered playing in the garden at the young age of eight. They say she tried to fight back but how can an eight-year-old girl try to fight a man, a full grown man and succeed? She can't, but they say she died quickly... well, of course, they would say that someone that was my age should never have any details on her sister's death. We didn't have a funeral. Mom couldn't do it, so they just buried her, father took me to her grave to put some lovely daffodils down there her favorite, but soon after that, my mother, the queen, Sapphire killed herself.

She couldn't take her first child being murdered. I found my mother dead, in her sitting room. She had slit her throat, with the dagger lying in her hand as if placed by an outsider. I screamed and screamed until someone came rushing in and took me away from the gruesome scene.

I think that's when my father king David, took precautions for my safety. He couldn't have his last in line, his last child, die. So at the age of eleven, he started my Secret Knightley Training with a soldier. As my friend, he told me not to follow through, but as my Father, he wanted me to progress and success. So I did it all. I wanted to become stronger as a leader so everyone would know who to follow and would.

But, not before at the age of twelve, in grief, my father married a mad woman. The Princess of the neighboring kingdom, Larra Vando. She became the queen in substitute for me until I came of age. And my father even had a baby boy with that woman, my half-brother, Harry, the first in line to be the king.

But they always hated me, I wasn't apart of the family. So I stayed away and made my father happy with doing everything he wished. I even stopped my grieving to start to protect my family. I will always protect the ones I love and my beloved kingdom. I, princess Olivia Harper Victoria, promise to protect me, my family, and my kingdom at all cost.
