It was a sunny day here in the Kingdom of Esclarie sitting down on the bed looking out through the window, hearing the birds chirping and flying around, thinking about my life how it took a drastic and miserable turn.
I hate being here. It is so boring, the castle is always cold. I can't remember the last time I went outside into the warm sun, I missed the warm air, the smell of flowers and the last but not the least I missed running through the meadow.
Overall I missed my old life a lot, even though my aunt and uncle were greedy only thinking about themselves.
I let out a sigh. Standing up and pacing around the room.
The door suddenly opens and a maid came in and stood by the door. The king is requesting for your presence. she meekly said, nodding my head while breathing in deeply
"I will be there shortly" I murmured.
I leaned on the wall thinking of how my life took a wretched and horrible turn, the betrayal from my family by making me marrying that perverted man the King Frances of Esclarie, speaking they actually sold the me for money.
I usually believed the saying blood is thicker than water or maybe too naïve to know it was just a lie, but humans always have a way of surprising you.
I sometimes wish that I could just kill the wretched man, but I cannot do it. I have to stay strong for my revenge.
You see King Frances is a very wicked and perverted man. He is a sadistic man, he enjoys seeing pain in others but I don't let him get the satisfaction of him seeing me in any sort of misery.
°°°
Walking down the hallway on my way to the dining, I heard his repulsive voice echoing around the it.
Turning to my left I stood in front of the dining door, taking a deep breath and putting on the most miserable face ever.
Entering the dining, my eyes met with a pair of familiar beautiful set of green eyes, a chill that I knew too well ran up my spine, everything around us disappeared and it felt like we were the only two people in the room, the king was long forgotten.
Thomas and I were once lovers. I fell in love with his charms, he promised me a wonderful life, we were even planning our wedding, how many children we were going to have but everything went downhill when my parents decided to marry me off to Frances and him cheating on me.
Even after my marriage and Thomas's betrayal, I still loved Thomas from the bottom of my heart.
Treacherous tears formed in my eyes but I didn't let it fall I kept a strong front.
"Do you perhaps know each other, because I'm quite curious of how you know each other" Frances said.
I decided to ignore him but Thomas decided to break the deafening silence.
"Yes we do your majesty. Bella and I were lovers before you got married to her." He angrily told him.
I knew it had a double meaning to it and that was it for him. I quickly glances at Frances, he looked amazed and surprised at the same time but that didn't last for a minute until his face changed into that of a furious man.
The king was taken aback by the way Thomas spoke to him and I knew something bad was going to happen to him but I pray the gods will protect him on his way back home. Even what he did to me.
I turned away and dashed for my room. Once I was in the confinement of room and onto my bed, I broke into tears my strong façade crumbling.
All I could think of was my old life how it was so peaceful and happy but nothing last for long. I held onto my necklace my mom gave me before she passed away.
It was the only thing that I have left of my mom.
After attempting to calm myself down, the tears subsided. But then suddenly my bedroom door burst open and in front of the door, there stood the king in his mighty glory looking all angry.
"How dare you!?" asked the King.
"I do not understand you your highness"
"How dare you go behind my back and sleep with other men he said"
"I did no such thing" I gasped.
His face turned into that of a raging man, I immediately felt a stinging pain on the left side of my face only for me to realize that he slapped me.
"You dare lie to me, you whore!" You shall pay the consequences.
I felt pathetic I've never been called that name before. And before I knew it I was being dragged out of my room and was thrown into the dungeons.
Inside the dungeons was dark and it has a repulsive smell.
Inside the dungeons was dark and it has a repulsive smell. It made my stomach churn to the extent I felt like throwing.
When I was thrown into my cell. In the process of being thrown into the cell, my head hit the floor and I blacked out but before I did, I saw the King looking at me with a dark look then I succumbed to the darkness.

When I woke up the strong smell of piss and shit hit me. My face scrunched up in disgust and wondered where I was. Then suddenly everything came back rushing to me.
And I started crying, to be honest I hated being weak all I want to do fight and I feel angry at myself for being weak, but my mom once told me before she passed away that violence is not the answer for everything. So I tried to thinks about of good memories of her.
While I was thinking, I heard distant footsteps but with every footsteps it got louder and closer. So I tried to move deeper into my cell but I couldn't because everything hurt so I just lay there and silently prayed that who ever that was coming wasn't coming to my cell.
Unfortunately, luck wasn't on my side again as I saw the person's silhouette in front of my cell trying open the door. I tried see the person face but I couldn't because of the poor lighting.
The man came up to me and pulled me up to my feet, he led us out of the cell I was being kept in and started leading us deeper into the dungeon.
"Who are you?" I asked. But I only got a grunt as a reply
"Where are you taking me?" I tried my luck again and this time I only got ignored.
We turned left and we were in front of a huge metal door. The man opens the door and pushed me inside, I missed my footing and fell down on the floor.
When I looked at it, I saw all sorts of torture devices. And I knew I was in for hell.
