'Why does Daddy want me to change my name?'
The thought kept spinning around in my head as I buried my face deeper into Daddy's shirt, feeling his warm hand stroking my hair. My chest hurt so much, like someone was squeezing my heart with cold fingers. The tears just kept coming no matter how hard I tried to stop them.
'He doesn't want me to be Luna anymore.'
Luna was the first thing that was really, truly mine. Not like the butterfly toy that Princess Seraphina gave me, or the pretty clothes that Rose bought, or even the room at the palace that Princess Cecilia prepared. Those were gifts from people who loved Daddy, so they were nice to me too.
