It was a normal life for the people who live in the kingdom now; the poor working hard in order to live and still be poor and pitied, nobles showing off their wealth, spending lavish things and still remain wealthy. Yes, that's how life in the kingdom works.
Clementine is a child of a baron. She lives in a household where their parents are in complete control over her. And she has to follow, no choice but to do so. She still remembers the words her father used to say to her all the time,
"Clementine, you are made to be the perfect doll. Therefore, you must move like a doll, looke like a doll, and live like a doll."
Starting then, Clementine lived to her parent's expectations. It was overburdening, but one small mistake and that is equivalent to her mother's cruel hands. Clementine had these certain thoughts in her mind, such as
"What will happen if I were to run away far from here. So far that they'll never find me."
But Clementine knows that the strings around her will always bring her back to the house.
One day, when Clementine was at her father's office. She overheard that the baron will be away for a week to do business in another place and they need to travel to get to there. The news made Clementine look forward to that day, and when it comes- well... she's still under her mother's control but maybe they'll find a way. A way to escape the house and go outside and beyond.
-time skip-
The day finally came where the Baron needs to leave. He ordered the servants to lock Clementine up if they ever disobey their mother. Clementine's plan for today is simple. She'll simply make a mistake on purpose and end up being locked in the basement.
Why, you may ask? Well, there's no one in the household who knows the basement better than Clementine. In one of the corners, there's a door that can't be seen because it camouflaged really well into the wall. The only problem is, Clementine haven't seen on what's inside the door before, but only darkness.
Later that day, Clementine was serving tea to her mother when she 'accidentally' poured it all over her mother's dress. The Baroness was furious and she harshly slapped Clementine across her face.
"Lock her up immediately!!"
The mother ordered the servants, which they immediately grabbed Clementine and dragged her to the basement. According to the Baroness, Clementine will not be able to get out after 3 days of confinement with no food or water. But this time, Clementine didn't beg for forgiveness like she used to, since everything is going according to plan.
Clementine was once again found herself locked in the basement. The walls aren't too high and the space is also not that big. Clementine lit up a candle on a candle stand which they had secretly stocked in some time ago. Clementine looked for the corner and didn't take her long enough to find it. The door did hid well within the walls and one cannot tell it was there unless the whole room is lit up. The door was exactly to Clementine's height. She opened it, air came out blowing and it sent shivers to Clementine's spine. She then took a deep breath, bringing the candle stand forward to see if there's something inside. When Clementine sees there's none, they stepped in and the door shut closed.
Clementine walked through the one way path, the walls and floor were made with bricks. Clementine wondered why did they even have a secret door in the basement, but that thought left her with no answers. They walked far enough until she was now on a dead end with a ladder against the wall. Clementine looked up, there was a small light peaking through. Clementine blew out the candles and climbed up the ladder.
Once Clementine reached the top, her head hitting the wooden cover. They slowly removed the cover, which appears to be a trap door. Clementine got out. And they realized, they were now standing on an old abandoned well. Clementine dusted herself, and as she turns around, she saw a place that is completely out of the kingdom's beauty. There were trees, birds, flowers and all things Clementine hadn't seen before.
"Wow..."
Clementine viewed the scenery like she had found a treasure filled with riches.
"So this is what the outside looks like..."
Clementine whispered under her breath. She decided to walk, and wonders where this place will lead her next...
