Hey! hello... It's a nice start... but I do get confused sometimes on which character your talking about because you tend to leap from one scene to another without informing the reader. But overall, it was very interesting. Like how Maria got to where she is now, being a princess and all. And what role Richard and the others will have to the story. I enjoyed it and I hope you update soon! :)
By the way, I was wondering if you could check out my latest story, if you have time... Thanks!
