Loving the Void

CHAPTER I

Solaigne Point of View

A few leaves coming from the tree near my balcony is slowly falling from its branch, the smell of sweet and vanilla scent starts to lingere into my nose and the cold breeze touches my pale and fragile skin.

It was a lovely afternoon to everyone but not for me. because today, December 9, 2023. i won't able to see my family again. it might take months or even years

My aunt crissada is helping me to runaway from my home. it's all because of him. my family always put their lives at stake to protect me and i can't just sit still and watch my family suffering cause of me.

"Are you really sure about this, darling? we both know that your family will go insane especially your kuyas once they found out about your plan to runaway" auntie's worried tone is visible when she say that.

"I'm deadly serious about my plan, aunt. i already planned this so there's no way i'll change my mind. and plus, my lovely auntie will help me right?" she heavily sighed before slowly nod her head. "Promise Me-us that you will take care of yourself okay? call me immediately if something happens."

"Aunt! stop babying me, i'm a grown lady now. " auntie just laugh at me and stroked my silky hair.

"But for me, you're still my baby sol. just.. always be careful and remember those things i've taught you."

"I will, auntie" for the last time, i hugged her as if there's no tomorrow. i will miss my gorgeous auntie

Eversince i was a kid, my family spoiled to the core so i think it will be hard for me especially my family is not on my side anymore , i am now an independent woman.

But before we leave my room and the palace, i place a farewell note above my platinum cabinet with a yellow chrysanthemum that symbolizes "farewell"

NANDITO na kami ni aunt crissada sa private plane niya, ipinahiram niya ito sa akin para makalipad papunta sa pilipinas. it's the country where my father and mother grow up also my brothers but not me, they moved to france noong ipinag bubuntis ako ni mommy for some confidential reason at doon na rin lumaki.

They sent me to an academy where their main lesson is all about language or culture & tradition. kaya marunong akong mag tagalog kahit paano but i am not that fluent

Mayroon naman akong private tutor sa palace that taught me about royal etiquette, politics, business management, history, arts & music and other stuffs na related sa pagiging royalty or heiress.

Kahit na nasa primary school pa lang dapat ako nun ay ang mga itinuturo sa akin ay pang college na.

To tell y'all, my life being a royal princess isn't easy as other people thought it was. lalo na't nalaman ko na lang na ako ang heiress ng clan namin but before i was declared as the crowned royal heiress. nakiusap pa ako sa 'king mga magulang na hindi ko ito tinatanggap ito at hindi ako ready na kuhanin ang trono nila.

My parents was disappointed that day but they are not mad at me instead they apologize, na sabi ko rin kasi na grabeng pressure at stress ang nadama ko simula ng malaman kong ako ang heiress. they passed the throne to my eldest brother na wala namang problema roon. bukod din kasi sa rason kong hindi ako ready maging heiress ay may isa pa akong rason na hindi ko nasabi sa kanila

The truth is, i want to become a succesful doctor someday. i badly want to help people eversince i was a child. i also want to enjoy my life, kapag kasi naging tagapag mana ka na ng trono ay marami kang gagawin na hindi na masasagi sa iyong isipan ang mga bagay na dati'y gusto mong gawin. kaya rin ayoko tanggapin
