"I give my gratitude to all those who attended my daughter's thirteenth birthday tonight." King Draco smiled warmly at his guests and took in the look of adoration and respect. This birthday celebration that was both grand and majestic was created not for Rowena.
Its major purpose for King Draco was the chance to show off his daughter and form stronger ties with his people and other kingdoms.
The young Rowena was so beautiful that even the queens who visited Ashland under King Draco felt inferior and didn't linger around to be with him. It was an unfortunate fact that as women got older, they became more upset and intimidated by younger women.
Even though the young princess was practically still a child, everyone could already how beautiful and graceful she was. They could only imagine how much more beautiful she would become once she grew up into a young woman.
Rowena gathered both envy and jealousy from other women even though she was just thirteen.
