Princess Arista DeCounte is the daughter of King Edward DeCounte.  She’s the youngest of his three children, and is the daughter whom the king never wanted.  She was an abomination to her father, since he wanted only one daughter and more sons and winded up having a second daughter.  She was only five years old when her older sister Tabitha told her “you were never wanted, and one day they’ll kill you at any given moment if you do anything wrong.”  Her brother Edmund on the other hand who was the oldest out of the three of them, and next in line to the thrown loved Arista very much, and always protected her from Tabitha.  When Arista was 7, Tabitha 9, and Edmund 10 their mother Mary died leaving the children alone with their father, a man they barely knew at all.  It hurt the king badly when the Queen died.  He didn’t know how to handle things anymore so he always left to war fighting, always trying to find a way to die and leave this earth, but it never happened he always came back victorious.  Three years had passed and the King fell in love with Isabelle a princess of Nottingham the oldest of the Nottingham King.  Arista adored Isabelle since Isabelle was only 17 when she married her father.  An extravagant wedding it was and they both were happy.  The only one who wasn’t happy was Tabitha; she tried everything to have Isabelle executed, or overthrowed.  Arista on the other hand loved her dearly, and they got along well and Isabelle thought of Arista as her own daughter.

        “Arista!” Tabitha yelled outside of her chamber door.

        “Yes,” Arista cried softly.

        “I need to talk to you,” Tabitha said behind the door.

        “Alright, come on in,” she said happily.

        “Look, I know you love Isabelle, but I can’t take it anymore.”

        “What do you mean, Isabelle’s sweet I like her.”

        “Arista your only 10 you don’t know what Isabelle’s like.  Can I tell you a secret?” Tabitha asked her.

        “Of course Tabitha, were sisters, you can tell me anything,” Arista told her smiling. 

        “Alright, I caught Isabelle kissing Lord Nikolas,” Tabitha said almost crying.  Tabitha had a huge crush on Nikolas even though he was 19 and Tabitha was 12 but she loved him dearly.

        “What are you saying Tabitha?”

“I’m saying that she stole Nikolas from me, how can she do that to me, I hate her.”

        “Well we can’t tell father it’ll break his heart,” Arista told her.

        “No, I don’t care if it breaks his little heart he’s going to know,” Tabitha told her and walked out of Arista’s room crying.  That night Arista heard Isabelle screaming for dear life when the kings guards dragged her off into the dungeons.  Arista cried to herself when she heard Isabelle, she so badly wanted to go and save her but how it was already too late.  Later that night she heard a soft tap at her door.

        “Come in,” she said quietly.  Just then Edmund appeared at her bedside, and hugged her gently and fell asleep with her in his arms.  In the morning Arista awoke to see Edmund asleep at the foot of her bed.

        “Edmund,  Edmund,” she gently whispered and nudged him gently on his arm.

        “Oh, what is it father, it’s too early.”

        “Edmund, it’s me Arista, you fell asleep in my room.”

        “What?” he said groggily.

        “You slept here all night,” she giggled.

        “Oh, I’m sorry Arista, I didn’t mean too, but I knew you’d be sad, since what happened to Isabelle.”

        “Why did they do that Edmund?” she asked confused.

        “I don’t know, and we’ll probably never know,” he said turning to walk out of her room.

        “Will you promise me something Edmund?” Arista asked him.

        “Sure, anything,” he replied.

        “Please don’t let father send me to the dungeons.”

        “Don’t worry Arista it will never happen, and I won’t let it happen,” he said and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
