Y/n's POV

Everyone is born with a role in their life. Some people are meant to be powerful and others weak. Some people are meant to be smart and others not. Some people are meant to be able to conquer countries and others to obey them.

Life was never easy for me. I was born in a poor family and it was only natural that my role in life would be the same as them. It was natural for me to start working from a young age. It was natural for me to obey others. This was my role after all. A child whose future had no start or ending. It was just there.

Growing up I changed many jobs in order to earn more money for my family's and mine needs. I ended up doing almost everything, every job shameful or not. It was all for the money after all. For that exactly reason I ended up where I am now. I ended up being sold by my parents in order for them to pay their debt. They pushed me away like I was nothing, like I never did anything for them. I was more embarrassed for them than they will ever be for themselves. I pitied them, but that was life in the end. We just play our roles.

After that day I traveled a lot. Going to places that I never imagined I would be. Doing jobs that weren't suitable for my young age. However, I couldn't say anything. They owned me. They owned my whole body and soul. They did until the king decided that the castle needed more maids. So from sleeping with strangers I ended up being a maid. I ended up living in the castle. Sure I wasn't earning much money, but at least I had a healthier and happier environment to work at. Money wasn't a big deal anymore after all. I had nowhere to spend them on.

One of my days working and cleaning the palace I met the prince. It was a brief encounter, but enough to make a girl like me dream big. We didn't exchange any words. We just shared a glance. His blue eyes met my (e/c) ones for a moment. It was enough. Enough to make me angry and jealous. Enough to make me curse the moment that life decided to make me have such an unimportant role.

In the palace soldiers were used to be taking advantage of the most beautiful maids, of me. They used to flirt, humiliate and rape maids like me. And maids couldn't say anything, because no one believed that the soldiers, the protectors of the royal family, could do such a horrible thing. So I was trapped in a never ending circle. I was trapped with my stupid role.

-"Tears don't suit you."

I still remember his voice. The voice that saved me from ending everything that moment. The voice of my dreams. The prince's voice.

That night I had decided to end my life. I had decided to hung up and die so I can stop being in so much pain. However, life didn't want that. It wasn't in its plans. So instead life send someone to help me and pull me out of the misery that I was living even if it was for a moment. Life said the prince to not only save me, but from making sure that I had a friend that could understand me. I ended up being friends with him, with prince Toneri. I ended up living more than I ever imagined I would. I was almost living up to my dreams. Almost.

-"Keep breathing (Y/n). Help will come soon!"

He sounded desperate, sad. He was hurting and for some reason my weak mind couldn't understand why.

-"It's ok." I whispered weakly as I placed my hand over his.
-"It's ok Toneri."

-"No no no!!! That's not ok!" he shouted as he pressed more the fabric against my stomach.
-"Get help dammit!!!"

No one was around to hear him. It was only us. His orders were specific and simple, yet no doctor arrived even after the soldiers were long gone. No one wanted to help out, because this wasn't something urgent.

-"Toneri." I said as I placed my bloody hand on his cold cheek.
-"Thank you for everything."

-"No no! You aren't dying (Y/n)! You can't die yet!" he shouted desperately.

-"You can't decide that, can you?" I asked him with a soft smile.
-"But it's ok, because in the end I fulfilled my role... I protected you."

-"That sword was supposed to hit me! Not you!"

-"Was it?"

He didn't respond. He just closed his eyes as he brought his face close to mine looking deep inside my tired eyes. He knew that things, sooner or later, would end up like that. He expected it because what he had was against every rule. A prince can't form any kind of bond with a maid or any other lower class. I was waiting for the day that they would kill me, because at the end I am no one important, my role isn't important. I was born to be used. I was born to die.

-"This isn't fair..."

His voice was very low. I barely heard it, but it was enough to make me understand the pain that he was going through. It was enough to make happy tears run on my cheeks as a soft smile was visible on my face. I still wasn't understanding why he was so sad, but for some reason I was happy. I was happy that my life was going to end with him holding me. I was happy that he was the last person that I would lay my eyes on.

-"Thank you Toneri..." I whispered smiling as he lifted his head slightly to look in my eyes.
-"For everything..."

-"You-"

I wasn't able to hear what he told me, because at that very moment I felt that I lost all the energy that I had. I felt my body being emptied. I felt something pulling me away from life. At that very moment I died. My soul left the living world. I left leaving behind a prince hurting and screaming as he was mourning for me, for his dead friend.

I was free as he was dying to come and find me.

The end!
