“When I was a little girl, my dad used to say that every princess deserves a prince who’d do anything for her.
Mom disagreed with him, though.
Because, according to her, princes don’t do much…but brave knights?
They conquer, protect, and stay faithful no matter what.
I fell in love with a man who everyone considers a prince while he’s been nothing but a brave knight to me.
However, in truth, he’s neither of those.
He’s a villain.
And what do all villains have in common?
They rarely, if ever, fall in love.
For their desire for power outweighs anything else.”

From Jimena’s emails to Florian…
Hi Florian!
According to Uncle Jacob, you’re away on another business trip, exploring your lands and searching for the clearest diamonds. Apparently, you have some awesome collection in mind, and for that, you need yellow diamonds (never seen one in real life, can you imagine?).
Whenever I think about your talent, it fills me with awe. To create such masterpieces from rough stones and see beauty where most people fail…it’s a gift from God, isn’t it?
Mom creates masterpieces on blank canvases, pouring her heart and soul into them and then shows all her emotions and vulnerabilities to the whole world.
They judge it, like it or hate it, but true art never leaves anyone indifferent.
One of the reasons she hasn’t painted a single painting when Santiago was gone…she couldn’t bear the pain or allow anyone else to see it.
For an artist to lose their voice…it must be devastating, and I’m so happy that no matter what you all do in the darkness…you still managed to preserve this part of yourself and continue to create.
Your designs sell in seconds, people craving to wear something of yours and the concentration it requires… Ah, it’s so beautiful, Florian.
I’m about to start high school, and my parents offered to enroll me into an amazing boarding school in Spain specializing in music, harp specifically.
Great opportunity to study among peers with the same interests as me while having the whole of Europe to explore.
I should be happy, right?
Instead, I wonder why they want to ship me off to a boarding school all of a sudden. All of you finished at my school, and all the parents preferred to keep an eye on you.
I expected everything from my protective dad, but never him basically offering me a way out from the family home this early in life.
Maybe it sounds dramatic, but it hurts me. Don’t they want me around? Now that their son rarely comes home and is fairly civil during most visits, they don’t need a mediator, so off to boarding school I go?
Santiago hasn’t lived with us in years, but they lure him home more often because of me. However, lately, I’m not enough to bring him back home more frequently. Considering he usually attends all the big occasions like Christmas and Easter along with birthdays and anniversaries…I’ll be around for those.
I know it’s stupid and unfair to my parents for me to wonder if they love me outside of Santiago, but I do. And I hate myself for it too because they are the best parents in the whole world.
Why do I always feel as if I come in second after Santiago and his constant rage that he can’t help but pour on us all in one way or another?
He really tries with me, my brother.
