Princess as a Pauper

“Fall in love!” she blurted out in Russian

“Pardon?” her daughter asked. It infuriated her that her mother thought of such grown up things. She was to talk of the future of her country but her mother was concerned with matters of the heart.

Rebecca cleared her throat and spoke with the composure people boasted that she claims. “ I said. I would like you to fall in love.” She paused. “I know you care about Russia but…” she exhaled “ you have 13 years before you could be coroneted. While we are making a way for that I want you to find a man, or a boy. Not in now but in the not to distant future. I want you to have a burning desire for him. I want him to be the Ying to your Yang. Your weakness. When he comes along I want you to fight for him without holding back. When the time comes you shall remember me. Don’t be frivolous with my wish. I want you to take your time and find him. He would be your soul mate, friend, lover and your other half. Do you understand?” Rebecca spoke with such and intensity in which Sophia had never seen before that there were tears rolling down her mother cheek. It scared her a bit.

Princess Sophia must now be hidden for she is no longer safe in a place she once called home. In order for her people to believe in hope for a better future. She must to stay alive. She is multitalented girl but on her departure her mother requests the most bizarre thing, "fall in love!" Can she uphold her family name, stay alive and fall in love all at the same time? Read on and we shall see.
