“GWENDOLYN!” The queen bellowed through the kitchen, a snarl on her face. “Come give my daughter a bath before the feast.”

The emphasis of ‘my daughter’ was not lost on Gwendolyn. She laid down the knife; slicing melons for the feast would have to wait. It had been three years since the queen discovered the prince’s indiscretion with ‘a lowly servant’. In exchange for her life, Gwendolyn was forced to allow the queen to raise the baby as her own. While the queen reveled in her ‘punishment’, Gwendolyn’s heart soared for yet another chance to care for her sweet child.
