Chapter 8 - A victim's past

Once upon a time, a princess loved by all was born in Everdill.

She was known to be the most beautiful in the kingdom. Her midnight blue hair flowed gracefully without fault, shining a royal navy blue whenever the light hits. She struts around her deserved palace with perfect posture. She holds an air of elegance, authority and manner.

Her eyes were rumoured to be shining sapphires with compliments of long, luscious dark eyelashes. She had smooth, soft, sun-kissed skin with a tint of pink on her cheeks. Her lips were plump with a shine of reddish pink gloss.

She wore many dark, body-hugging, fashionable dresses.

The princess was known by many titles, but the most common was the mystic goddess, Elaine.

Elaine was kind towards her people yet fierce to her enemies. She kept a cold and indifferent mask so she could see the demons behind people. She was determined because even in her lowest she would always give the affection and embrace of a mother towards her people.

One day, King Orphelius from the kingdom of Uralis, who is admired by all, succeeded in courting Elaine.

The week after the King's succession in courting, Elaine was moved from her empire to Orphelius's kingdom.

Elaine discovered that the king had a daughter and was elated. She had always yearned for a child of her own. The daughter's name was Snowhite.

The daughter, instead of being a well-behaved, kind, mature child as Orphelius said, was anything but mature, kind or even well-behaved.

Snowhite would sneak out and 'play' with animals, which would not really be considered playing if she lured animals in and harm them.

Snowhite would also cause many types of mischief and when anyone tries to report it, she would do something that would cause the other to look the other way.

Whether it'd be bribery or threats or even blackmail, she would do it. Just so she could keep her 'innocent and lovely' image.

She would also make a scene at any given moment she could even if it was as little as dropping a stuffed toy on dirt.

At first, Elaine thought that she could change her, that this was just a child who needed to know what is good and what is bad. She thought that Snow was just a child who just needed to learn. Oh how wrong she was...
