I walk down the hallways of my palace. The silence was loud yet comforting as I hear my loud yet gentle and slow footsteps echoing in the large and empty hallways.
I look out of the window and gaze at the gently blowing winds carrying away the leaves of the trees. The spring finally was starting to show up like a beautiful lady with her pearl coloured gown flowing in the marines. Like the hem of her gown drenched in the cool and calming ocean with her soft and beautiful smile never fading on her beautiful rosy lips.
I smile gently to myself as the fresh wind from the window comes and caresses my face. The pressure of everything which had crowded in my mind scattered away as I stand there and enjoy the beauty of the nature, which often goes unnoticed in the high society.
I sigh and look up at the beautiful birds flying high in the sky. They looked like a ray of hope and inspiration to me. Soaring high up in the sky qnd never thinking about landing down. They looked graceful in their own way, the way they soared in the sky made them look like they were dancing. They went with the flow of the nature.
"So carefree. I wish I could be like them. The worries and always trying to perform best infront of the others so as not to disappoint them always weighs me down. I feel like being selfless is stupid but I can't help but bring myself to put others before me. I wish I could change this habit of mine. I'm so tired of always being so selfless....I'm so tired of being strong for everyone, I'm so tired of understanding others pain and forgetting mine...."
I sigh sadly and continue gazing out of the window not knowing that someone was listening to me all along.
"Will this life of mine ever have something which is related only to me? Or maybe my life is just for the others?"
I gaze at the sky, lost in thought. Suddenly, I feel the presence of a pair of eyes looking g at me. I look around in search of it but there was nothing.
'Maybe, it was just a feeling.'
"Yeah, right. It's just a feeling since no-one would want to hear a sentimental 19 year old's stupid rantings."
I laugh a little at my own words.
"Funny, how I degrade my ownself. Haha..."
I stay quiet for a few minutes.
"Why am I talking to myself? Is it because it has become a habit of mine, since I usually talk to myself whenever I'm hurt to pour out my feelings. I'm such an idiot"
I turn around and walk towards my chambers. The hallway was quite long and by the time I had reached my chambers, I was out of breath. I pant heavily as I open my Bedroom's door. And to add on to my bad luck, the door was so heavy that I had to use half of my body's weight to open it.
As a young master, who will be the Duke of the great Levese Estate , who is known for their outstanding strength and wisdom, It was such an insult for me . I'm also a Levese but I'm so weak that I have to use half of my body weight just to open a door. But no, I totally don't blame myself , and if you are asking me why? Then the answer is that the door is enormous that I look like an ant when standing close to it. But the others, exluding the maids can open the door easily, so wait!Am I that weak?
