It was a day before her birthday that Princess Zaria regained consciousness. Scanning the massive exquisite chambers, she immediately knew that she was in King Vincent's most talked about palace. The jaw dropping ceilings, marble walls and tiles were a concept she only heard about from those who had seen the palace, except it was much more that that.
Sitting up, her heart pounding, she came across a big portrait of herself that almost covered the entire west wall. Those many radio stations reports of the place never mentioned that part. She wondered why he would have her portrait when he hated her and wished she died at birth.
Her eyes were still scanning around when Daisy who had fallen asleep on the couch woke up.
"My Princess! You are awake! You are really awake" Daisy exclaimed excitedly while jumping on her feet and running to embrace her friend.
