She got away only to be forcefully pulled back. That horrid place she vowed to never return to. At the beck and call of their rules and expectations. She'd tear it apart before ever bending and breaking.
Vasilías promised someone important she'd save lives, not take them away. But how far is she willing to go? Far enough if it meant they were safe. Someone who was untouched by the filth of the palace. They didn't deserve the life she was forced to live. Before taking a knife to her hair and crying out no more. If she was to return and there was no escape. She'd clean it of its corruption and rebuild everything anew.
"If that's the case I'll take the throne. I'll become a son if I must."

He was the villain in someone else's story. Now he's the reluctant hero in his own.
