A somewhat lonely and sheltered child, I knew only the music my fingers brought to the quiet air so splendidly, my mother’s love, and the bluntness of my old nurse whom I loved dearly. Suddenly I was living a life lead by nothing less of royalty, I went places I never dreamt possible, and laid mine eyes on sights well beyond my imagination. Experiences once far beyond my reach were now loosely held in the palm of my hand. A man full of mystery and excitement, with the stare of a fallen man, had thrown a blanket of lavish wonder over my world. The thought of a life lived in this manner enthralled me and blinded me even to myself. I grew a feeling so strong… love? This form of existence must be mine till my departure… Yes, this man, this power, it would be mine… He had chosen me and I could not dispute him.
