A rat crawled through a pile of bones.
Footsteps echoed down the stairs, and I hugged my bent knees tighter to
my chest. My wet nose pressed against my silk skirts. The gold flowers
among the pink and crimson pleats shimmered in the gloom. Bernie would
be cross with me. It was my best gown.
Sharp, hurried steps grew closer.
Two cells away from mine, the rat squeaked and darted through the
bars, headed for a small hole in the farthest wall of the dungeon.
As Bernie sighed upon finding me, I wished I could escape so easily. “A
dungeon is no place for a princess.”
“I don’t want to be a princess anymore,” I said.
It wasn’t entirely true.
Being a princess hadn’t always been so bad. I didn’t have to do any of
the things Bernie did. She often said I was lucky because I was allowed to
play as much as I liked, as long as I remained out of sight from visitors and
during important events. But if it meant escaping the Fae, then I would
gladly surrender my title.
Surely, there was someone much better suited for a monster. Someone
far braver and bolder. I didn’t understand why it had to be me.
Bernie leaned against the bars of my cage, unaffected by the iron.
Her auburn hair had been combed into a tight bun. Ringlets sprouted
free from the perfect nest, reaching for her heart-shaped face. Confident,
refined, and unflinchingly dedicated to her duty as the future queen of
Nephryn, my older sister was everything I wasn’t.
But it was something else that caused a seed of resentment to bloom.
Princess Bernadette was human.
Therefore, the favored heir.
Her mother, Queen Agatha, liked to pretend I didn’t exist, which suited
me fine. When she deigned to acknowledge me, nothing good usually
followed.
