Chapter 1
Princess Elena
Once
there was a Princess who from birth had been raised with all the
necessary graces with which to attract an exceptional match. She had
been born with beauty, with flaxen hair and eyes as blue as the sea,
but her ability to dance, speak three languages and play the harp had
been taught by the best tutors in the land. Her parents spared no
expense to prepare their daughter. Not only did she have the best
tutors, but she also wore exquisite gowns and bathed in the most
luxurious essential oils. She was precious and she would save the
kingdom from conflict and strife.
