The Lonely Rapunzel & The Runaway Prince

The Lonely Rapunzel

She stared outside her window . As usual, her brother had ordered her to stay in her room. He rarely let her go outside their mansion. Even if he does, he always made her wear male clothes and hid her hair in a hat because he said it's more dangerous for a girl to travel around alone than a boy.

She sighed, if only her brother would understand that she's not that fragile as he thought she was and that what he was doing wasn't making her happy.

It's not like she hates her brother or anything. It's just that after their parents died, he turned into a whole different person. She could only wish that someday he would turn back to the kind, gentle and playful older brother he used to be. But she knew it would take a miracle to make that happen.

The girl walked back to her bed, grabbing her puppet along the way. She played the puppet for a little while before settling it in her arms. She sat down on her bed and stared at the puppet with a small smile on her face. She really loves this puppet. One of the reasons is because it was the first puppet that she made on her own.

Of course, her brother taught her the technique to make it but she was the one who did all the work and she was proud of it. Her brother was an amazing puppeteer and she hoped that she can also be as good as him someday.

Another reason why she loves the puppet so much was because this puppet was her only companion for most of her time. She rarely goes outside so she doesn't have any friends to chat or play with.

She put down her puppet and lied down on her bed. She had to admit, she felt lonely. She's tired of this kind of life. She wanted to be like other girls out there. She wanted to make friends, or wear frilly dresses, or maybe experience how it feels like to fall in love. But most importantly, she wanted to live everyday of her life to the fullest.

She took a deep breath as she stared at her ceiling.

'I wonder... When will I finally be able to truly live...'

And with that thought, she closed her eyes as she fell asleep
