My Christian name is Emerald, my surname, de Gavrillac. I am queen of Krespania and sister to Lennox de Gavrillac, emperor of Agmar, whose name every person surely is familiar with.
My mother was queen of the respectable kingdom of Krespania and my father was king of Agmar. They both met and fell in love notwithstanding the added tradition of our world that such a union should be made for an opportune alliance between two kingdoms, they married. Afterward I was born and then Lennox. And when we became of age our parents bequeathed to us their kingdoms, Lennox was given Agmar, which afterward he turned into a powerful empire, and I given Krespania. My kingdom is a smaller one compared to that of Agmar but I live in peace and receive respect and appreciation while my brother's already vast empire is continually growing and as he seeks to conquer more lands he creates more enemies that keep him on his guard because they seek to destroy him.
I enjoy the luxuries that ruling a kingdom provides but I also appreciate a good adventure every once and awhile. Many a time I have gone along with my brother, Lennox, on one of his expeditions and I mind not at all getting my hands dirty. I have learned how to use a crossbow, a recurve bow and the broadsword at a young age and have continued to use them when it was necessary when voyaging on the The Ruler, Lennox's ship, where we were certain to encounter danger.
My intention for these archives are to demonstrate how it is to live here in a palace during life's ups and downs, joys and sorrows, to people in the future or in the present to read. Perhaps through reading my struggles and difficulties you can find comfort that someone else has already passed through these challenges that you might be facing and remain alive despite them.
Or perhaps you can find amusement through these letters about the joys I discover here or entertainment by reading about one of my adventures.
Whatever the reason I hope you enjoy them as much as I do writing them.

Interesting way to keep a blog. As a blogger/writer/artist/photographer myself, I've been enjoying it, though. We seem to have a few things in common ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I like to write stories, and this blog helps me continue a steady output of work amidst my other projects. The story itself is actually a branch off from a book I am writing. :)
