Dear Diary,
I spend time playing chess today well talking with Rowan and Mia also practicing chess. We thought we should learn some battlefield strategies since what happens if one of does become the Princess and eventually Queen and our husband dies after we have a child or two who would lead the battles then? Just after lunch time I discover another contestant, Lena in the servant's quarters crying. I asked "Lena what is wrong"
She replied with tears streaming down her face "I'm afraid that because I'm a ginger and a Lost Girl the prince will never love me. Sure Cinderella was an orphan but she's just a character in a story-we aren't"
I was going to ask what she meant by a Lost Girl and then I realized she said she was an orphan with no family. "How long have you been an orphan?" I asked.
She replied: "All I know was I was dropped off at an orphanage here in Windenburg, and I jumped from one foster home to another. At the tender age of 16-I ran away from my last foster home and became a street rat if it wasn't for the Munchs' taking me in-I wouldn't be here. Some people say I look like the mysterious Mrs. Villareal who disappeared ages ago."
Lene then mentioned, "Sorry I didn't mean to let it all out like that-but I am very insecure about my life what am I going to do after this is over if I don't win?"
I said "That's awful..But when door closes another opens. I can't make any promises but you are a beautiful woman like a living and talking version of Lilly Potter, and I hope that if I don't become Elena, Princess of Windenburg , that you do. But if I do, I will see to it that you get your high school diploma and a whatever or any other degree you might want. I promise to keep this to myself"
Lena replied, "Thank you..even though you are only 2 years older then I am you been like a Mother to me just now."
After that conversation and some more chess matches, we had supper made by Mel tonight. Again its Cheese sandwiches
