Earlier today I was talking with my sisters (as I do) and as we wondered round the palace we happened to bump into our father’s most faithful advisor (whom I used to fear as a child due to his eyes being stitched shut after losing his sight) who was kind enough to amuse us with some history.
According to him this very palace I stand on was built on top of the ruins of an even more ancient one, now whether this ancient palace belonged to the ancients themselves or someone younger or even older than the ancient is unknown however.
The fact there is another building beneath this one intrigues me and I would love to someday visit it, but my father is smart.
The boundaries between this beautiful structure and the ancient one below are behind the prison that lives deep within the bowels of this place.
I have heard horrific stories about it though, at how they torture thieves, rapists, murderers and a whole assortment of individuals who wish to break the law, sometimes, I think I can even hear the screams of these men and women seeping up through the stones in the floor… maybe its my imagination, but things like that are not what a princess should be imagining.
Maybe one day when I am much older and the kingdom under the reign of one of my sisters I shall venture through the dungeons to find this other kingdom… but until then, it shall forever remain a mystery.
Speaking of sisters, I think I shall go and join them in whatever activity they are doing.
Bye for now
Lots of Love
Elloria
