Chapter 1
I woke up with the sunlight hitting my face. I want to sleep more.
“Madam, the Queen has ordered me to wake you up.” One of the maids said. This is what my every morning looks like.
They always wake me up exactly 6 am for breakfast and daily routine. Only the maids in this castle knows me and knows what I look like. Some still doesn’t know what I look like as I always leave with a piece of thin cloth when I go out of my room or I order my personal maid for them to leave when I use a room.
I don’t want to get up. I just want to sleep peacefully and relax more. I’m not like my cousin. They do what their parents tells them to. I have my own life. This is my life and only I can control it. I never wanted to be born as their daughter or as a princess.
“Madam, you need to get up as you still have classes to attend to and a speech to memorize.”
Classes…
I hate the classes already. I will start my day with classes and end it with classes. My brain hurts. It can’t handle much knowledge. Sometimes, I couldn’t even process what a person just said as it was too much for me.
I stood up and went in the bathroom to take a bath. They always offer theirselves to take a bath of me but I always refuse. I’m not a kid anymore. I can do things. And bathing is not even that hard. It’s part of everyone’s daily routine.
She went out as I don’t like people in my room when I am dressing up or I just want to be alone. I like being alone. The royal thing is just too much.
After taking a long bath, I went out and saw a dress on top of my bed. I wish I have everything in my room so that I won’t ever go out.
There’s no safe place for me here inside the castle. They also are tight when it comes to my safety because there was this man who sneaked here in the palace and tried to grab me. He almost exposed me that day.
Is the ouside world really dangerous? If ever I escaped, will I be able to survive the reality?
I don’t know what the life is outside the palace.
I got dressed and wore my mask. It was a piece of thin white cloth. I wore this ever since I was a child. They don’t want the world to see me before the day I become the queen.
“Madam, you need to be ready in ten minutes or you’ll be late in class.” I heard a voice outside my door.
I didn’t answered as I was done getting ready. I got my book and went out. I was the mysterious girl that live here in the palace. To be honest, the castle doesn’t look like any kind of prison. It looks like it was out of a fairytale.
Without wasting any time, I got in the car and drove off. There was a barrier between me and the driver, the windows are tinted as this is my private car. People can’t see me. Not even my mouth.
Also, I never got to ride with my parents. People always see us getting in one car but they never saw when they go out of my car and go separate. They never even ride a car with me. Even them, they both travel in separate cars.
If ever we are in a same car, it won’t feel like it as it was a limo and we are far from each other. And when I say far, really far like we will kill each other if we went near.
This is the life where I am stuck at and I can’t do anything about it. I need to not be me just to fit in.
We arrived at my school where me and my cousins are the only people allowed inside. This is really private. You can only come in if you’re a prof. and if ever you are one of the cleaners, you can only clean at night.
