My name is Dimitri.
I was a servant boy in the big palace. I was ten and grew up in the poorhouse orphanage. There was not a chance they could hold me in the kitchens to do my job. I just wanted to explore. To run around outside. To play. Even to play fight if the opportunity arose.
One day I managed to sneak away when nobody was looking. I walked through the palace, taking extra care not to be caught by the dreaded queen or her big burly guards who were always at her side.
The palace was spectacular. Ornate ceilings, ornate walls, ornate floors. Top to toe in riches. I was in awe. I’d never seen anything like this.
That’s when I saw her. The Princess. She was the same age as me and I smiled. I didn’t think she was beautiful or anything. I was ten, I just didn’t think like that. All I was thinking was that someone here was the same age And they might want to play. To be honest, it didn’t really dawn on me who she actually was.
“Hullo.” I edged forward, taking off my cap. “My name’s Dimitri.
