The Romanov family went to visit Romania in 1910. Alexei and Ileana met, and soon fell in love. Alexei promised to return and marry her. But four years later horror struck Europe, World War I. Throughout the war Alexei and Ileana's love burned strong and pure, but soon they would be torn apart forever. Alexei's father was over thrown and the family was exiled to Siberia, then murdered in Ekaterinburg. Rumors circulated that Alexei and Anastasia had somehow managed to escape. Ileana had faith that her love would return and waited for twenty years until she was finally forced to marry Archduke Anton of Austria. This ended in divorce as did the two following marriages. Princess Ileana eventually realized that she would never be happy without her true love and devoted the rest of her life to the only solace she had, God. She became a nun and founded the first Romanian Orthodox nunnery in America. She died after a long life of suffering. Now she is known as Blessed Mother Alexandra and he is a canonized saint, passion-bearer, and martyr. But what if things had been just the slightest bit different?

"Then it's true? The story?" The writer enquires. "Yes, quite. Now.. what is that frase you use? Ah yes, once upon a time there lived a young girl who loved her father very much..." Most will suspect that the story of Cinderella is nothing but a fairytale, a simple children's tale passed down through generations. Who would have thought that it all actually happened back before Yekaterina Petrovna of House Romanov became Empress of all of Russia? A/N: This story is heavily based on Ever After from 1998, but it is also partly built around Russian history and particularly the life and reign of Empress Yelisaveta Petrovna. Katya essentially is Yelisaveta(Elisabeth) family tree wise in this, and therefore is the great grandaunt of Maria Pavlovna of Russia.
