Me desperté temprano por la mañana. Tomé mi desayuno y luego me fui a sentar en mi sofá favorito. Cierro los ojos, me relajo y me vienen a la mente cincuenta mil cosas. Todas abrumadoras, me sobresalto, vuelvo a respirar. Decido en ese momento meditar.
¡Oh sorpresa! Justo en eso momento viene mi sobrina adolescente caminando descalza, para que no la escuche, por la sala de estar, y susurra para sus adentros– eso no vale nada- es simplemente pérdida de tiempo.
Me reincorporo rápidamente y con asombro me mira y me dice:
- Tía, eso no vale nada!!-.
Le contesté: - explícate mejor, por favor.
Ella en su asombro me objeta: -estás perdiendo el tiempo-. -Te recomiendo que mejor te dediques a trabajar y producir dinero.
Ahora me puso a reflexionar y le refuté:- entonces Marian, según tú -¿qué me sugieres que haga? -
Tía me responde: - eres buena con la escritura- Ubica por internet…. Siempre hay quien pague porque le hagan redacciones. Te doy una idea: escribe sobre traidores y princesas.
Le di las gracias y empecé a pensar en hacer un cuento corto.
Emprendí mi retorno a la niñez. Allí situé a mi princesa Leyda, una bella joven casadera. Su amor incondicional, Roberto, iba siempre a escondidas a verla a la ventana del castillo donde ella vivía. No podían hacer más nada. Aunque la familia de Roberto es leal al Rey Arturo, padre de Leyda, este nunca lo admitiría como pretendiente, de su única hija, porque Roberto no pertenece a la realeza.
Pasan los meses y los enamorados siguen viéndose a escondidas de las familias.
En un día soleado, la confianza de Roberto es traicionada por su primo Alberto, quien lo delata al Rey Arturo. Este se enfureció y traslado a Leyda a una villa veraniega para así apartarla de su amado. Durante el verano acordarían el casamiento de la princesa con el Principe Vladimir. La Princesa Leyda lloró amargamente, se sintió traicionada e incomprendida por su padre………

I woke up early in the morning. I had my breakfast and then went to sit on my favorite couch. I close my eyes, relax and fifty thousand things come to my mind. All overwhelming, I startle, I breathe again. I decide at that moment to meditate.
Oh surprise! Just at that moment my teenage niece comes walking barefoot, so I don't hear her, through the living room, and whispers to herself - that's worthless - it's just a waste of time.
I quickly rejoin her and with astonishment she looks at me and says, "Tia, that's worthless!
- Auntie, that's worth nothing!!!-.
I answered her: - please explain yourself better.
In her astonishment she objected: -You are wasting your time-. -I recommend you to dedicate yourself to work and produce money.
Now she got me thinking and I refuted her:- so Marian, according to you - what do you suggest me to do? -
Tia answers me: - you are good with writing- Locate by internet.... There are always those who pay to have writing done for them. Here's an idea: write about traitors and princesses.
I thanked her and started thinking about doing a short story.
I started my return to childhood. There I placed my princess Leyda, a beautiful young marriageable girl. Her unconditional love, Roberto, was always sneaking to see her at the window of the castle where she lived. They could do nothing else. Although Robert's family is loyal to King Arthur, Leyda's father, he would never admit him as the suitor of his only daughter, because Robert does not belong to royalty.
Months go by and the lovers continue to see each other in secret from their families.
On a sunny day, Robert's trust is betrayed by his cousin Albert, who betrays him to King Arthur. The latter was furious and moved Leyda to a summer villa in order to keep her away from her beloved. During the summer they would agree to marry the princess to Prince Vladimir. Princess Leyda wept bitterly, she felt betrayed and misunderstood by her father. .........
