#THE FORGOTTEN PRINCESS#part 1
My name is Alicia Roselyn Von Heist.
I am the third and youngest daughter of the current king of Alvannia, Edward Von Heist . I have two older sisters and one younger brother . l am the only illegitimate child.
My mother was a maid in the palace. My father the king, was infatuated with her beauty. she had platinum blonde hair and silver eyes. All her features I have inherited.
My mother was kicked out from the palace by the queen after knowing of my father's relationship with her.
After a few months, she knew she was pregnant with me. After nine months past, she gave birth. she brought me up by herself. We had a simple and poor life outside the palace but we were happy.
But one day everything changed when my mother got sick.
I was five years old then, still a young child. My mother was bedridden and her life was draining away Infront of my eyes.
That was when he arrived, my father the king. My mother begged my father to take me in palace as his child because she was dying of sickness. I still remember her words. ''your majesty, Alicia is also your daughter." My mother said with tears on her face. she was breathing heavily as if oxygen was barely going into her lungs. ''I don't have much time in this world. please take care of her, I beg of you."
"Mother no-------- please don't leave me."
I cried so much at her bedside, because this was my mother's last wish my father obliged. I saw my mother's last breath and my world shattered into pieces after.
My father took me in the palace as his 'adoptive' daughter.
Arriving in the palace my two older step sisters, velonica, who is two years older and Elizabeth, who is a year older than me we're not happy to see me.
But my step brother Rishard who is two years younger than me was so happy to see me.
My life in the palace wasn't easy.
My two elder sisters loves to bully me, My stepmom the queen does everything to make my life miserable. Also my father the king was indifferent towards me.
The only ones that are good to me we're my younger brother Rishard, who is always by my side playing with me, and general Robert, my step siblings' grandfather, and the father of my stepmother the queen. Nine years have passed by and living in the palace, as a third princess was not easy.
The people of Alvannia kingdom doesn't know much about me. I wasn't able to attend parties and balls with my siblings. I was the forgotten princess of Alvannia.
But that changed when my forteenth birthday arrived. it was custom that a daughter from the royal needs to be presented to the public, hence a grand ball is held in the palace.
All the high class families of the kingdom of Alvannia are invited for the reason, to search for suitable suitors for the royal daughters.
Even royalty from neighboring countries are invited to attend.
General Robert has fought with my father and stepmom to give me the royal custom given to daughters of royal family, he said it was my birth right. Even though grandpa Robert isn't my flesh and blood, he loved me as his own granddaughter.
After some nagging and fights, my father the king agreed at last.
And the day of grand ball has arrived. I was dressed with a beautiful royal blue gown that accented my platinum blonde hair and silver eyes.
This was the fast time I had worn a beautiful dress.
Looking at the mirror I was so much different from my usual self.
The usual me wore the hand-me-downs my sisters.
They were used to gave me the out date and faded clothes, I don't wear makeup and my hair was always tied in a bun or a ponytail, so that I can't out shine my sisters in beauty.
But now I look so beautiful.
My hair was styled with beautiful ornaments, am wearing makeup and jewels.
it was though I am looking at a stranger and not myself.

"knock knock" there was a knock on the door.

The door opened and a maid entered and bowed Infront of me.

"my princess, all the guests have arrived.
"His majesty the king has called for you." the maid said.

"I understand. I will be there shortly." I said to her.

I look at the young lady in the mirror once again and take a deep breath.
i lift my dress and exited the door .............
