My name's Friedrich or Frederick. I was born on January 24th, 1712 in Berlin as a prince of Prussia and the heir. However, my father, FredericK William (Friedrich Wilhelm), the King himself, hates me quite a lot for my interest in music, philosophy, and French culture because he thinks those are girly. I'm 16 years old, it's 1728. And I'm forced to suffer of my father's abuse, which includes beatings, yellings, and regimented drills that exhaust me. I'm smart, however, and I know five languages.
