The prince was not charming.
He was not brave.
He was not faithful. He fled to escape the guillotine. I lived through the French Revolution. I fled too. I came back. I tried to flee again. This time, there was no return. I watched kings fall, flags change, slogans spread across walls. They called it liberty. They called it progress. Equality. Brotherhood. None of it concerned me. I married a man the world approved of, at a time when everything collapsed and even God seemed to look the other way. I bore a child. I prayed. I endured. Violence was ordinary. History was loud, but it never spoke to me. I cried. I loved. I begged. I prayed. In the end, I write because there is nothing else left to do. Because writing delays disappearance. Because survival, on its own, is not meaning. I write believing, briefly, that this might set me free. Ballad of a Faithless Whisperer is the record of a life history never intended to see.
