The Castle in this land is dark. People say the king is cruel and that the princes are horrendous, disgusting creature. However for the people of our kingdom the king is kind and helps us through struggles. The prices are all handsome and every girl in the Kingdom wished to be their betrothed. All except my friends and I.

Since I moved here I discovered that many girls where treated like crap. Unless you could read, Write, cook or sew you didnt mean shit to anyone.

I moved here from Bristol and I had been taught by my church back home How to read and write as a child. Now that I am here I taught the young girls how to read...well if they care to learn that is. This is my story of how I found love in one of the most unlikely people you could imagine.

"Rosalie von glistener." A girl growled as I walked passed with a book in hand. Since I could read many girls in the village hated me. I was also praised by some of the men in the village but I payed them no heed. I was on my way to the backers to buy some bread for my little brother. I was teaching him how to read and write. I was all he had and I was like a mother figure to him.

"Well well if it isnt little miss gliss. The village skank" belladonna ivy chortled. I ignored her but a strange man started to approach I sighed and told her to leave me alone before entering the backers and buying the louf of bread to feed yuna.

"Take care Von Glistener" the backer called as I exited the store. I waved back to him with a smile but when I turned around I bumped into someone. I stumbled back before apologizing and looking up to see a man with red hair and a beauty mark on his chin.

"Are you alright?" He asked. I nodded and stood up straight. I nodded before picking up my book.

"Sorry" I said lookong looking at his eyes. They where an amazing emerald colour like nothing I had ever seen before. I was snapped out of my daze when the church bell rang.

Oh no I'm late.

With a swift wave I ran off but not before saying goodbye to the strange man who just kept on smiling.
