The Rewritten Past

"Hello everyone, my name is Lia!" Lia said shyly as she faced more than a dozen children and adults all surrounding her. Andre's comforting hands rested on her shoulders as he encouraged her to not hide away behind him. Which she would have done. Being stuck in the palace with every visible eye watching her every move was growing to be uncomfortable. 

"Welcome Lia!" A few kids said, throwing their hands in the air and running towards her. They tugged on her skirt and asked countless questions which she couldn't keep up with. Such as 'how was you so pretty' to 'can you play with us' She felt silly being overwhelmed by mere children.
