Katarina was enjoying her quiet life living on the family's farm with her father general Black.
Every morning she would make them breakfast while her father got there horses ready for there morning ride.
However this morning father made breakfast and she immediately knew something was wrong.
"Dad?" General Black looked up with a tight smile which went slack when he looked at his daughters questioning stare. "How do you do that? I keep secrets for a living and you take one glance and know...your just like your mother he said with humor.
"Dad what's going on?"
"It's the princess games Katarina and you have been nominated...now don't get mad at me I've been pulling strings for weeks trying to get you out and I've failed.
Katarina looked at her fathers pained face "daddy you have not failed and I'll go...although it would have nice to know weeks earlier since I'll be leaving today."
The general looked at Katarina with such pride and smiled "sorry about that but before you start packing let's go for one last horse ride aye?"
" of course daddy"
