The afternoon sun bathed the dusty village square in gold, illuminating the weary figure of the thirteen-year-old girl. She kicked the worn football with practiced ease, her dark brown hair swinging against a grey t-shirt. A jagged scar bisected her lip, a silent testament to a brutal past she kept hidden. To the villagers, she was just another orphan; in truth, she was the lost princess, daughter of Armand, sister to Gabriella, Bennet, and Alexander. Her innocent gaze, sharp like her brother Alexander’s yet soft with resilience, scanned the crowd, unaware that her royal blood remained a secret even to her own family.
