chapter two : wife of the first-born prince

upon arriving at the castle, the young wife went up to the chamber prepared for them. it was actually smaller than her old room. she thought of her mother. sadly, she sat on the bed and started unpacking her belongings.

the days that followed gave her the chance to get to know the people living in the castle. the eldest child, the princess, was several years older than her. she was always out on engagements and comes home late. she also loves being fashionable & stylish. the 2nd prince was friendly but somewhat serious. he socializes every now and then, but would rather keep to himself most of the time. the third prince was a lively, boisterous young man. she thought that this prince was the friendliest of all her husband's brothers. the youngest prince, on the other hand, was kind of reserved and the queen dotes on this little one. the king was quiet man. in fact, he hardly ever talks. looking at him, she saw kindness beneath the furrowed brow and serious face.

in her mind, the young wife was thinking. she was married to the first-born prince yet do not see herself as a princess. the castle has a king. but in reality, it was the queen who ruled.
