Chapter 2 - Estella Orton

In the year 1805, I Estella Orton was born and at that time my mother was married to the Duke of Kariel, he loved my mother dearly, but in this kind of world that was rare, because women were thought of as tools and not humans, but in the Orton family, since they treasured women, and no one would be able to go against them, but one day everything changed. my mother was 5 months pregnant when the royal family took charge and sent the imperial army to attack the Orton family. My father sent my mother away 5 days before, she was in tears begging, but he didn't let her back in, because he knew what was to come, he wanted her to hate him, and never think of remembering him, so 5 days passed and they were attacked, in my father's final moments he recalled the love of his life and apologized for not being with her when she needed him the most.

That day the Orton family was wiped out from the face of the earth, only their unborn daughter remained, well that refers to me but anyways. the royal family claimed that the Orton family was exterminated due to treason by the lady Melissa Devine and because women were never thought highly of in society that was a great offence. I'm sure majority of the empire knew they were saying nonsense but, no one could go up against them and that's how the arguments seized and m y family was forgotten. Also once again I introduce myself , I am Estella Orton daughter of the late Duke of Kariel and Melissa Devine, and this is my story.
