Prologue

Life is short so take the risk.

Ya'n ang katagang pinanghahawakan ko simula pagkabata. I'm born with a title of being a PRINCESS in the PALACE.

You see, fuck those stories about me and my wicked mother. In fact, there's no mirror mirror on the wall who's the fairest of them all.

My father isn't dead but he's sick. LOVESICK! Yes! For godsake he's too inlove with my stepmother!

Honestly, those fairytales that you've seen are just twisted. My true mother is the wicked one. After giving birth to me, she decided to kill me because of jealousy.

Why? Well, my father loves me the most. At alam niyang sa pagpatak ko nang ikalabingwalong edad ay papalitan ko na siya sa pwesto.

My mother banished from the castle and never I have ever seen her again. After years of loneliness, he finally found his true happiness. Sylvia Rowenstein, My Fairy Stepmother.

Isn't it funny? Fairytales plays with your minds by hiding MY TRUE STORY. My stepmother isn't bad. It's just, both of them are strict because I'm a princess.

Marami kayong nalagpasan sa istorya ko. In fact, when I was a kid, I can't remember anything than staying in my cold room. Wondering if someone will ever save me from my nightmares.

But as expected, no one came.

Who would have thought that fairytales are nothing but lies? I should've burn those fairytale books when I have the chance.

"Here comes the bride!" Great. Just great. You heard that right. I'm that girl who's walking down the aisle. Your mind is disgusting kung inisip mong hinalikan ako ng isang prinsipe.

Dahil una sa lahat hindi ako pinakain nang stepmother ko nang bulok na mansanas at mas lalong hindi siya naiinggit dahil maganda ako.

In fact, she's crying. She just can't accept the fact na ikakasal na ako. "Oh, my poor daughter." Sabay yakap niya kay ama. I can't help but to stay gentle and innocent. After all, I'm the protagonist in this story right?

"Duke Cailon, do you accept Princess Snow White as your wedded wife?"

"Yes father." Disguste. Isang salitang nasa isip ko habang nakatingin ako sa mukha niya. Prince charming should be CHARMING. Anong nangyari sa kanya?

Mula ulo mukhang paa.

"Princess Snow White, do you accept Duke Cailon as your wedded husband?"

I smile at him as I speak.

"I DON'T."

"You may now kiss the– wait, what is that again Princess?"

"I don't want to marry anyone." Tumahimik ang lahat nang nasa templo. Napatingin sakin si ina at halatang natatawa. Habang kita mo ang galit na pagmumukha ni ama.

"Snow white–"

"Duke Cailon, my deepest apology. But, please look at yourself in the mirror. Maybe you'll get my point." That's the sweetest smile na kaya kong ibigay sa kanya.

"Our allegiance!" Tayo ng ama ni Cailon.

"I, SNOW WHITE, IS NOT A TOOL OF THE PALACE. WITH OR WITHOUT KING, I AM YOUR FUTURE EMPRESS!"

"I AM NO ONE'S BRIDE!" My stepmother looks at me with such a proud face. I'm sorry for being a stubborn child. But the rules can't take away my freedom.

"But the alliance–"

"I'm sorry Lord Feishan. The deals over. Expect me to write a war letter." And with that, my story will begin. A new chapter will be unfold and my love for myself will increase.

I'm not a Princess who needs a Prince. I'm the FUTURE EMPRESS. And I don't need a KING.
