Opening Lines of THE HEIR

 

I could not hold my breath for seven minutes. I couldn’t even make it to one. I once tried to run a mile in seven minutes after hearing some athletes could do it in four but failed spectacularly when a side stitch crippled me about halfway in.

 

However, there was one thing I managed to do in seven minutes that most would say is quite impressive: I became queen.

 

By seven tiny minutes I beat my brother, Ahren, into the world, so the throne that ought to have been his was mine. Had I been born a generation earlier, it wouldn’t have mattered. Ahren was the male, so Ahren would have been the heir.

 

Alas, Mom and Dad couldn’t stand to watch their firstborn be stripped of a title by an unfortunate but rather lovely set of breasts. So they changed the law, and the people rejoiced, and I was trained day by day to become the next ruler of Illéa.

 

What they didn’t understand was that their attempts to make my life fair seemed rather unfair to me.

 

 

我無法憋氣七分鐘。我甚至無法憋到一分鐘。有次我曾聽說某些運動員能在四分鐘內跑完整整一哩,所以就自己試著在七分鐘內跑完相同的距離。但在半途中我就被岔氣折磨的痛苦至極,這挑戰也因而非常戲劇性的失敗了。

 

然而,有件大部分的人肯定會認為極度威風的事,我卻能輕鬆的在七分鐘內辦到:我成為了皇后。

 

就因為我贏過弟弟Ahren,比他早七分鐘來到這個世界上,所以那本應屬於他的寶座變成了我的。若是我出生在更早之前的世代,那有沒有提早這七分鐘根本無妨,反正Ahren是男生,他注定會成為王位繼承人。

 

唉,但是我爸媽沒辦法忍受看到他們第一個誕生在世上的孩子就只因為擁有那不合時機卻又可愛的女性特徵,而被剝奪本該屬於她的稱號。所以他們改變了法律,人民為此歡欣不已,而我也因此每天都被訓練著要成為伊利亞王國的下一任統治者。

 

可是他們並不了解,他們所謂為了把我的人生公平化而做出的一切決策與舉動,對我而言其實才是真正的不公平

這是亞美利加的女兒Eadlyn的心聲耶!!

Collsinn整個看的心癢癢~~~後續呢後續呢?

好想看Eadlyn的繼承人之路究竟走得如何喔~

你們期待嗎?^_^
