For Worse Or To Hell, No Better

Sometime long ago, before the invention of envelopes, people kissed their letters with a seal. Ironically enough, that seal has a story, though I do not claim to know it and woudn't share it with you. Instead I will share with you a true story from that time, about a princess. Not always from her is the story. On ocasion, her lady-in-waiting takes the throne, and quite literally. This princess is not your ordinary la-la from la-la-land. Instead, we see a young woman, hardly into her teens, forced to whip servants and eat off silver platters. She is bound not by magic, but by the unhappy feeling of guilt that gnaws her soul, to say, ' What if I should leave?? What would happen to my kingdom? My palace would fall.' But luckily enough, the bound princesses of Amphivel are allowed a lady-in-waiting to talk with and confide in. The lady herself is to be someone trustworthy, someone to keep all her secrets between her and her lady, and the king. And not to mention, the lady was picked by the lord himself. This particular lady was call Lady Madelin. And her princess, Princess Kathryn. The title was often tossed around, and was never used to address her. All those who knew Kathryn called her Kathryn, all except her lady in waiting who called her so. And now to begin, I tell you the first installment of For Worse Or to Hell, No Better.














 The Princess of Amphivel... A title I am not proud of. If I were to see things through anothers eyes, I'm sure I would look at things differently. Most girls my age envy the riches that come with being princess. Yes and i do think that i could do without them. I told Madelin this, and she thought that i was so lucky to be a princess. Madelin is 18, three years older than i. I think daddy is quite fond of her. they do talk alot. but i see know reason for concern. Madelin is my friend.. i cant go on just now. i must write this down. Today, after madd left, father came into my room and got very angry. i dont know why. he was in a rage about how i was not wanting to be a princess. and its a good things he doesnt know about the square balls. not even madd knows. So now i put on my mask and go to dance with The Prince in peasant clothes.
