-18th January-

You were running in this forest that you knew by heart. Running not for your life but to escape the castle guards who were running after you so that you wouldn't run away again. It wasn't really a runaway, you only disappeared for a few hours before coming back but being the crown princess you had more important things to do, that's why they were chasing you.

You hadn't put on a dress since it was still morning. You had changed into pants just before the servants arrived and then you had jumped out of the window quietly and fortunately this window was not high, otherwise it would have been stupid to break your foot.

You were probably going to be reprimanded once again by your mother, but even if you were afraid of being punished, such as putting bars on your window, you would sneak out and go back into the forest.

In your race you tripped several times, although the ground was dry you had still put some dirt on your knees and were injured but it didn't matter to you, given where you were going and especially who you were going to see.

Dong Sicheng, he is the one you were going to see, the one you liked to see, him and surely not someone else. This young man matched all the beauty criteria of Korea even if he was Chinese. This young man also preferred to be called Winwin.

He was from a aristocrat family but was not satisfied with his life, he preferred to indulge in more charitable practices and that was his charm, that's why you loved him.

Anyway, that was why you loved him. He had betrayed you, giving you love letters and sweet words that ultimately had no value for you since at the same time he was giving them to someone else as well.

It took you a long time before you realized it, too blinded by love, but now you knew and you knew especially his true face.

You were still running, impatient to meet him rather impatient to tell him the pain you had in your heart even if you didn't know in advance that he would never be sorry for what he had done. But you still hoped that he wasn't hurt and that something bad hadn't happened to him. You blamed yourself, moreover, because you had fallen in love when he had absolutely nothing to do with it.

You had arrived at the meeting place, it was not yet time to meet but you needed to decompress, to create a strict and cold face for yourself given what you were about to say to him. However your feelings were not of the same opinion because even when you were trying and even the fact that you had a cold head, you could not take away the pain in your heart and especially the one in your throat which would surely make it difficult for you to speak. .
