very well ...
( she nods, and starts to read aloud. her voice is a little solemn as she narrates the story - it's seemingly a children's tale ... or is it? )
༒ long ago, there lived a princess with straw-gold hair who was loved by all. she lived in a lavish castle, surrounded by many maids and butlers and servants who coddled her and attended to her every need, even though her royal parents never found time to spoil her themselves. thus, she came to be rather selfish.
... whenever she would not get the attention she wanted, she would throw tantrums and be wild until someone would play with her. due to this attitude, and in part of a staff that was afraid to lecture this force of nature properly, she never stopped with this attitude.
over the years, she grew to be fair and beautiful - but her horrid temperament never changed. she was and would always be a quick-tempered child at heart. as time passed, the right to the throne became hers, and she became a lousy queen and an even lousier person.
... realizing this, the people who so adored and coddled her, and played with her for so many years, slowly started to drift away from this wicked woman, eventually leaving her all alone in the dark.
