I woke up early in the morning and lay in bed looking out the window. Then I heard a knock on the door. I knew it was Anna. After I gave permission ,Anna came into the room and stood next to my bed.
"Good Morning Anna. " I greeted . Anna looked at me with a smile and said "Good Morning princess"
"Happy Birthday Princess "
I was very happy when I heard those words . For so long Anna was the only one who always remembered my birthday. I hugged Anna tightly for the happiness I felt at that moment.
Then Anna told me that she had made a special meal and then I quickly cleaned up and changed into my favorite colored dress and went to the dining table.
After I had breakfast Carlos came to my palace. He came and wished me a happy birthday..
"Ashlyn , this gift for you "
The joy I felt when Carlos gave me the gift was indescribable. for so long Anna had given me a gift but no one in the family had given me a gift . I gladly accepted Carlos' gift .
When I took the gift and opened it , there was a small pink book in it . I picked up the book and looked at him with a questioning face . then " I know you will be amazed .it's not just a book .it's your mother's diary. I'm been keeping it safe for so long and will give it to you when you return. "
Tears welled up in my eyes. I never had anything to remember about my mother .I looked at Carlos with tears in my eyes and said " Thank You Brother ." then he nodded .
"Brother , I have one more thing to ask for you . I have to go to my mother's grave today. Are you telling father king to let me go ? "
Carlos looked at my face a moment and said , " okay ,I'll tell father king to let you go"
Then I nodded and looked at my mother's diary. Shortly after Carlos left the palace , I sat on the white-painted swing in the backyard and began to read Mother's diary .
The diary wrote a lot about my mother's childhood , how she spent time in the palace , especially about her best friends , Queen Elisa .
Although I live in a village for ten years , I received the education that a princess deserves. The reason is that Brother Carlos. He from time to time gave me the books I needed by the palace servants. one of the thing I learned was that I was more interested in history .
Then I heard about Queen Elisa . She was the former Queen of the Arendelle kingdom and the mother of current crown prince .But I never thought my mother would have a friend in such a powerful kingdom .
As I was reading the diary , I was intrigued by what my mother had finally written .
### Ashlyn remember what I mean .A lot of will change after your sixteenth birthday. Whatever it is, face it strongly. Destiny will send some one to you when the time is right. When the time comes , you will all know the truth .###
After reading that passage , my curiosity to know what my mother had said increased even more.... But seeing the front pages of the diary blank made me sad ..
After closing the diary and closing my eyes for a while , I had a thousand questions in my mind .
" What is the secret I know ?"
"Who will I meet in the future ?"
" What the other problem do I face ? "
Many things came to my mind like...
After thinking for a while , the king's permission was granted to go to my mother's grave . Anna and I got a carriage and got ready to go ..
A few hours later we passed the forest area and reached the grave .I got out of the carriage and went to my mother's tomb and sat next to it and stared at it for a while .
Before going there , I did not forget to take my mother's favorite flowers . I told her everything that had happened so far .
I was constantly reminded 0f what was written in mother's diary , but I realized that time would allow her to answer .
Before leaving mother's tomb , I placed the bouquets of dark purple lavender I had brought with me .At that moment , my eyes stopped at another nearly tomb . It was none other than Queen Elisa's tomb .
The only thing that came to my mint at the time was "Why is the tomb of Queen Elisa in the kingdom of Ailech ,"
Then I put some of the flowers I had brought to my mother on her tombstone , looked at it fir a moment and left to go back .
As soon as Ashlyn left , Alen came to pay his respects to his mother.
