Chapter 5: A proper introduction.
My name is Princess Alyssa Elise Vasquez. I am the fourth child and youngest daughter of the current king of Darinton, Edward Vasquez . I have an older brother, two sisters and one younger brother.
My father and mother met at a carnival and my father who was just a prince at the time was infatuated with her beauty. She had dark silky brown hair and blue eyes, all features I inherited.
My mother was a commoner and that made my grandfather and many others despise her. And in the end, he gave my father an ultimatum. My father had to choose between my mother and the throne. But in reality, he had no choice; my dad would have inherited the throne either way because he was the only descendant left of the royal family.
And so my father chose the throne and that broke my mother's heart. But my father wasn't willing to let her go that easily, so he tracked her down and they made
And shortly afer that, he and my mother got married and my brother and I were born shortly after with a 3 year age gap and everything was perfect. I was fourteen years old when I went to visit my cousins in Aragorn for a few months and when l returned I was met with the unexpected news of my mother's death.
Apparently about a week after I had left for Aragorn, my mother fell deathly ill. She was sick for five days and died soon after.
But no one had bothered to tell me for some obscured, sick reason and that wasn't even the worst part. It wasn't even up to a month since my mother died before my father got remarried. My mother was only gone for less than a month and my father got remarried! To the general of the royal army's daughter!!
Arriving back in the palace I learned that not only had I gotten a new mother, I also had two older sisters. Veronica, who is two years older and Angelique, who is a year older than me. I also have a younger brother Raymond, who is three years younger than me.
My life in the palace wasn't easy. My two older sisters love to bully me, my stepmother the queen does everything to make, my life hard and unbearable, always taking my sisters' side in everything, my father, the king, suddenly became indifferent towards me. Also my grandfather hated me and my brother because unlike my other siblings, we weren't born from a noble family.
The only people in the castle that were good to me were Raymond, Luke and my hand maids.
My younger brother Raymond, always spends with me whenever he can escape the controlling claws of his mother and our grandfather and whenever he has free time to spend. Luke is my older brother and my rock. He's the heir to the throne of Darinton and I know for sure that when he becomes king, he'd do much greater things than my father ever did.
After my mother died and I adjusted to drastic change in my life, my hand maids became the one stable parent figures in my life.
A handmaid of a princess is a personal maid or female servant and every princess gets to have handmaids as stated in the royal constitution of Darinton. I have three handmaids; Lydia, Yasmine and Kayla.
Four years passed by and living in the Palace as a third princess was not easy. The people of the kingdom of Aragorn don't know much about me. I used to be a center of attraction in the kingdom, the beautiful princess that everyone loves but now... now, I was the ignored, forgotten child.
I never left the Palace, never attended parties and balls with my family, never got the education I deserved, never got the quality lifestyle I deserved as a princess. Instead, I served as a servant to my sisters and step mother.
