'It is a book!'
Nori exclaimed when she saw something that sat on her table. She was at her grand-parents' house. While she was helping them clean, she found out a pretty old looking book in one of the shelve and she had put it on her table.
It was night time and she was one of those people who had a habit to read until she felt dizzy and sleep.
Nori looked at the clock and at the book, a naughty smile played on her face. She grabbed the book and started reading.

Dear Morphy,
Father is treating me like I don't exist since Daniel broke the engagement. I know that the engagement was one of the golden opportunities for my dad. I guess I am not good enough.

1838 March
Dear Morphy,
I started a book called "Radiant Run" it is just a normal book about a girl who grew up with a normal loving family but after her mother died, she tried to find love but failed and later even her father abandoned her. She is very sad person. She didn't know the world until she learnt the hard way.
1838 March
Dear Morphy,
My father read Radiant Run and he didn't approve of it and said that I should stop writing nonsense but I like writing it. I love writing what I wrote. So, I said what I thought. After that he shouted and order servants to pack my bags and throw me out of the mansion.
1838 April
Dear Morphy,
After I was kicked out of the mansion. I lived as a commoner. I stayed at an inn. Honesty, I feel cozy in here also I have been writing my novel faster now. I feel relieved.
1838 April
Dear Morphy,
I have finished Radiant Run and had taken it to a popular publisher. I am so nervous. I don't know what will happen. This is my last hope.
1838 May
Dear Morphy,

1838 June
Dear Morphy,
My novel was published and everyone loved it. Even the Duke of Riland invited me to his luxury banquet that I was never invited before.
1838 July
Dear Morphy,
I wore the best outfit that I could find. When I was there everyone was nice to me and I met Henna again. She was so happy. But later when she was escorting me back to my small inn, she said that she knew the person who poisoned my mother. I asked her who? She replied that it was the empress her-self. Before I could why do the empress did that Henna ran way in the carriage. I am speech less.
1838 July
Dear Morphy,
After thinking about it for few days. I have decided that I will visit my father and ask about this. I am a little scared also I don't think my father will welcome me back.
1838 August
Dear Morphy,
I visited my father. Surprisingly he welcomed me. Not warmly if we see. But when I asked about my mother. He was angry at first but later he calmed down and told me that once emperor wanted to marry my mother but my mother was in love with my father. At that time empress was still daughter of duke and wanted to marry the emperor. When she saw how little emperor gave her attention and loved my mother she started hating my mother. But when she finally had the power, she poisoned my mother.
1838 August
Dear Morphy,
I have decided that I will take my revenge…
1838 September
Dear Morphy,
I wrote my mother's story as my other book called "Queen's Hunger" and I have published it today.
1838 September
Dear Morphy,
I think empress read my book. She has certainly caught on what I have wrote.
1838 September
Dear Morphy,
I am being executed today. Well, I guess I will certainly have to meet God at some point afterwards…
After Nori read the last entry Nori couldn't believe that she has read this. She took a deep breath, put the diary, she took a deep breath again and slipped into sleep.
'It was heavy'
'It was sad'
After all, it was book of a real life…
