She has taken one year course about fairytale writing and teen literature. She has also studied script

A broken bone can heal,

but the wound a word

opens can fester forever.

Jessamyn West

About twenty years after the royal wedding of Cinderella with the prince

and future king, her son Christian was conscripted in the war declared by

the king of the next country. He spent the last night with the company of a

young girl, named Esmeralda, the daughter of one of the half-sisters of

Cinderella.

"Tomorrow I'm leaving for the front." Christian muttered under the

moon lit up the starry sky.

"Be careful, don't step forward, don't ask for it." Esmeralda

responded.

"I am their leader, if I don't, who will? Anyway... I hope everything

goes well. Will you miss me at all?" He stared deep into her green eyes.

"Yes, I will miss you." He leaned to kiss her, but at that time a cough

was heard from his faithful servant, Paul.

"Excuse me, Highness, you'd better go to rest. Your mother is waiting

for you at the farewell dinner. After all, you have a big day

tomorrow."

"You are right Paul. I'd better go." And addressing to Esmeralda he

said: "I love you Esmeralda... See you soon."

"Goodnight Christian..." she mumbled, "...be careful." Christian was

unable to take his eyes off her. Esmeralda sighed, gazing at the sky.
