Mature for adult content!! The world we live in is a beautiful, mysterious place. My home, my country, has been my world my entire life, living as the cursed princess of Iris is all I have ever know. Just as the only eyes I have known in the mirror were my own. And my hair was always white as snow. Iris has always been my home, its people my family. The kind smiles of villagers and the curious looks of children seeing me for the first time, the contrast of myself against the rest of my family in portraits. The whisper of the trees and the laughter of the flowers has always been what I lived by. "why are you so sad?" I rested my forehead on the cracked bark of the Soul Tree. My second home from the palace. The tallest tree in all the king's forest. Today it was deeply saddened, rumbling with a sort of bitter energy that leaks coldly into my bones. I wondered what it knew that I did not as I sat perched in its branches, it is not often that it's strong mass wavers. When it does it can only mean change is to come, nothing small. Something altering the kingdom itself. I sighed, my fingers brushing over its leathery leaves, it wouldn't be long until someone else noticed its unease, it will sicken the forest. By then it will be too late. ~~ Flora Duval, the cursed princess of Iris was always a quiet girl, working through her duties as princess and caring for the life in her country. Seeing beauty in the things most could not. Never has she expected an offer for marriage, not with her hair and her eyes the same pink of the Fenni flower. But then, she receives one. Less of a question for her hand and more of a demand, a demand caging her like a white rabbit in a deadly hunters trap. Trapped by the king of Taragon for her unusual features and the rumors of her life, Flora is stranded in a country she has never known, captured in cold castle walls without an ally in sight.

Glitz and glamour is something that Morgan Branson has never known. It's only something that she's seen from afar since there is royalty that lives in the town she resides in. For Morgan, royalty isn't just some fairy tale in a storybook. It's real as the leaves on a tree. And it's something that her town is proud to have as apart of their culture. Morgan's not so interested in the royal family though. She's more interested in her writing and creating stories about people who lead an everyday normal life like she does. It's what she knows best because unlike the royal family and like so many other families in her town, Morgan doesn't come from a wealthy family. She lives in the part of the town where the families are struggling, but still full of love and laughter. More money would just be a bonus because Morgan knows that money isn't everything. It turns people in the cruelest of people just because it gives them power. And when power falls into the wrong hands, then things don't look so good for anyone who threatens that power. So Morgan doesn't care that her family isn't rich like others. She doesn't care if the prince is single and looking to mingle for a future wife like the other young women in her town. Morgan could even care less if she happened to meet that single prince one day. She just wants her world to stay the same and never to be thrown into the world of glitz and glamour where people judge you and throw their wealth around. Morgan's perfectly fine with being in a poor family and falling in love with some boy who's just like her. But sometimes things don't always go your way or the way you planned them too. Sometimes you end up meeting a real life prince and finding that he makes your heart race in no other way that it's raced before. Sometimes when you're so set on not getting into the royal lifestyle, you're exposed into it when that single prince finds you to be more interesting than all the other young women who have thrown themselves at him.
