The Forgotten Princess

Alicia Rosalyn Von Heist is the youngest daughter of King Edward of Alvannia. She is an illegitimate child born from a maid in the castle her father has fancied. After her mother died when she was young her father took her home and ‘adopted’ her. Because of her low birth and illegitimacy she was neglected by her father the king and bullied by her stepmother the queen and her step-siblings. When she was 16 years old a war broke out with the neighboring country of Grandcrest. The war lasted for two long years and the two countries have made a truce at the end. The Grandcest empire demanded a princess to be married to the young king. It is said that the king of Grandcrest specifically asked for the hand of Alicia. Alicia was 18 years old when she was sent to Grandcrest as the fiancee of the young king who was said to be a cold blooded evil tyrant, King Regaleon of the Grandcrest empire.

Waking up

I opened my eyes with the rays of the sun shining down on my face. I scan the room I was in and realized I was in my own room. I try to move my body and get up but I can feel my body is heavy and sore.

Then I felt someone holding my right hand. When I look at my side I saw Leon sleeping soundly beside me.

I try to take my hand away gently, trying not to wake him up. But with just my little movement I see him move a bit and squeezed my hand. Leon slowly opened his eyes. He looked at me gently and his mouth curved up in a wonderful smile.

"Good morning sleeping beauty." Leon said to me.

"G-Good morning." I greeted him back.

Leon just woke up but he looked even more handsome in the morning light.

"How are you feeling?" Leon asked me.

"I feel that my body is sore all over." I confessed. "It aches if I move even just a bit."

"Stay still for a while. I will tell Tricia to call Dr. Andrew to come over." Leon said then he stepped outside the room.
