King Alice
It's me. I know I'm late. You might be wondering what the point might be in my picking up a pen. Well, I've decided to tell my story from my own point of view. Don't get me wrong, I tried to avoid this as much as possible. At first, I didn't feel the need; later on, I was concerned that I wouldn't be believed, in between all the lies that various other people have been circulating; in the end, I just wasn't bothered.
However, that's all changed. As I stated above, I have resolved to write my story in my own words. Although it's true that I'd rather stay quiet and enjoy the hilarious, stupid, insulting and sometimes flattering stories people write about me. And I must say, had it not been for that peculiar incident, I might have never picked up a pen. However, that is neither here nor there. I have decided; thus, I shall spread the truth.
Indeed, as all of you who have picked up this book must already know, I am the hero who saved the world. I must warn you that the passages inside are very different from what you've been told by the authorities, heard in songs, and read in books. Sometimes, it will seem boring and without flare, other times, it will seem stranger than the fiction you've come to believe, but I assure you, it is all fact. This isn't a fairy tale one can casually read to their children; nor is it a text book that would put even the most avid readers to sleep. It is an autobiography, filled with passion, fear, courage, achievement, and also regret.
