On the surface her life seems as normal as anyone's and yet underneath she is deeply confused.

The little princess brought a lot of joy to the kings and the kingdom and they called her Penelope, in honor of her grandmother.The princess was a beautiful girl with brown eyes, black hair, and a mark in her right arm that resembled a star. The entire kingdom talked about the star in her arm and they thought that it was a symbol of blessings.Happiness did not last for long. Since most of the south of Iberia was under the power of the Arabs and this did not excluded the kingdom of the King Felipe, the kingdom was attacked by the califa named Al Rhaman. Without any other option, the king surrendered and the califa ordered the king and the queen to be incarcerated. The luck of the princess was unknown. Since she represented the future of the kingdom, the califa was more afraid of the little girl.
