"Father. May I please go outside today. There's the spring festival. And I really want to attend it.

"NO! Lucina you are forbidden to see the outside world." Says Chrom. The king of Yilesse. Also my father. "GUARDS! Bring Lucina back to her room. And ban her from watching anymore television.

"Yes sir."

The guards approached me and led me towards my room. Once we got there the guards took away my remote.

"Wait! Give that back." I yelled.

"Sorry, but kings orders my princess." Says Gustav. He was a very generous and the most loyal guard to me and my father. After that they left with no response.

I sat on my bed.

"Why am I treated like a prisoner? I just want to see the outside world."

I got up and walked over to my window. They were sealed with no escape. I watched my citizens walk over to the festival. I sighed and closed the blinds. I walk over to my bed and reach underneath it. I pull out a doll and stare at it. The doll was dusty. It had white hair and brown eyes.

"Well little guy. Looks like we are not going to that festival." I said and sigh. "One day, I just wanna escape. I want to leave this castle. My father never allows me to go anywhere. Since mom was gone. Everything changed."

The plush stayed still. I let out another sigh and placed the plush on my table.

"I can't live like this anymore. I want to be free."

I looked around my room.

"LUCINA!" My father yelled from the other side of the door.

"UHH, I'M COMING FATHER!" I yelled back. I quickly took the plush and threw it under my bed. I then went for the door.

"WHAT TOOK YOU SONG LONG? Father questioned.

"Oh I'm sorry father, I was on my bed." I lied.

"Well, don't take too long next time." Father says calmly. For the first time he wasn't yelling. I'm surprised.

"Well, Lucina lunch will be ready soon. Get dressed and make your way to the kitchen." Father tells me.

"Yes father."

"Very well then." He says as he exits my room.

I closed my door.

"I will not be stuck here. Father, you will not control me like this anymore." I said aloud.

It was no use. I went to my closet and opened it. There were multiple options. Mother bought me everything I ever wanted. I searched through my closet until I gave up.

"Dresses, dresses and even more dresses. I just want to wear normal clothes and live in a normal house." I said to myself.

I gave up then I went to grab my plush. I reached my hand under the bed and realized he was stuck. I pulled hard, but he wouldn't move. I looked under the bed and saw a handle. What was that? I got up and rolled up my sleeves. I pushed the bed with all my strength to get it out of the way. It moved over a couple of spaces. I pushed it again and it moved out of the way. I took a look at the space. The plush was stuck under this handle. And the handle looks as if it were connected to a trap door.

"What?" I said.

I took the plush from underneath the handle and I dust it off a little. Then I looked back at the handle. Maybe Naga heard my call. I placed the doll on my bed then I reached for the handle. I yanked it open with all my strength. There was a staircase that led downwards. It's time. I'm not doing this anymore. I walked down the stairs. It was a long spiral staircase leading down. The room was so dim. But that's when the trapdoor from above fell shut. I yelped. The room was pitch black. What was I thinking? I held the railing and made my way down. I couldn't turn back. This is what I wanted. Once I reached the bottom, I felt a door. I pushed it open and the sun shined bright towards my face. I closed my eyes hard then reopened it. When my eyes adjusted to the brightness, I could see everything. The bright green grass, to the clear blue skies. I took a step into the grass. It felt like everything I wanted. It felt like everything I thought it would. I closed the door from behind and started to walk. I had to carry my dress because of how long it was. Lots of people were heading towards the festival, so I had to avoid them seeing me, otherwise I'm back at the castle. I ran behind a large building, I looked around. There were large trees from a distance, and there was a forest through that. I ran towards the forest and hid among the trees. Noone was near me, so I didn't have to look around cautiously anymore. I approached a lake in the middle of the forest. There were animals around the area.
