Last month I had my third birthday. It was fairly low key all things considered just my mother, father, and our personal maids or servants.

What did surprise me was learning I was a princess... of Gehna. I had thought we lost the war with the empire when the hero killed me but I guess that wasn't the case.

Unfortunately things weren't all perfect. As it turned out my hearing wasn't very good and I was considered legally blind and doctors couldn't fix it with magic because my power was stronger than theirs so I suppose I'd just have to get used to this until I got older.

Thankfully one of the Maids named Charlene had some mysterious medicine she'd been giving me. While my eyes were still Kaput my hearing had been able to slowly improve to get better.

Not to say I wasn't suspicious mind you in fact I know Charlene isn't just a maid aside from when she visits me late at night I never see her around the house and I can sense she's very strong. It's just... well she's been taking care of me since I was little so I don't have much reason to be scared of her if she wanted to kill me she would've done so when I got my own room. Sure it was right by my parents but hey if she could get in without them noticing now she could have done it then and regardless of how strong guards may be it only takes a knife to end someone's life.

I also had another much younger maid named Sophie but she's kind of a dunce but a well meaning one.

"Good evening my lady." I heard the voice of Charlene and hopped out of my bed running up to greet her

"Chariiiiii" I ran towards her ready to tackle her in a hug

What can I say I enjoyed being a kid and you only get to live once... well twice.

She picked me up so I could see her purplish hair and light green eyes with a gentle smile on her face

She picked me up so I could see her purplish hair and light green eyes with a gentle smile on her face.

She was the only face I could really make out because I remember one day specifically asking her to let me see her face. She obliged and let me scan her entire upper body so I had a mental image of how she looked.

"My princess I have some good news. I've received word that his and her royal majesties will be home soon and they found a cure for your illness. Do you know what that means?" She asked me but we both knew the question was rhetorical

"I can finally see mama me papa." I exclaimed happily.
In truth I was over the moon. I wanted to see the warm and smiling faces of my parents and maybe I could finally see what I looked like as well. So far all I knew was that I had platinum blonde hair that looked almost white and that my eyes changed color from red to blue sometimes. So I guess that meant I had strong magic again.

And this tune I would finally ask my mother what her name was. It's been 3 years and I still don't know it. I hate not knowing something so important.

"They should return within a week. Anyways goodnight my princess Sophie will be with you in the morning." Charlene said warmly

"Goodnight Charlene. Sleep well."
