Althea, a girl who doesn't have a life to begin with. It's always school, work, housework, money grinding, and her little twin brothers. Like a robot, she does everything to make everything perfect for the people in the household; but not to herself.
Everything was painful for her. A constant panic attack, abusive family, and two little brothers to protect. She's always on edge. To be perfect for the sake of other people.
Once she made a decision that no one expected. A painful night that turns into a fairytale when someone of a father figure appears before her. Her life changes drastically. That guy is a caring soul that wants to protect his children from any harm that appears before him. A father that once lost his beloved daughter.
Then, she fell in love with someone. Someone caring, loving, bright and kind. But her illness worsens when she realizes that falling in love with that certain someone will lead to disaster. On top of that, an incident happened, causing her and her lover to split apart. Her ego, her illness, and herself. She failed to control her emotions. She realized that she's the only one that can take care of herself.
Will she have the chance to change and live her life like normal people do? Will she be able to heal from the wounds that keep haunting her?
This is a story about a girl who craves happiness not for other people; but for herself.

Knightess
"You'd be surprised how far anyone would go to protect someone they trust." To be Chosen as a Knightess on Knightess Day is a blessing. It means that you have the blood of the gods running through your veins. It means that you would give up your life to protect the Queen's with no hesitation. It means that you would do anything to see the kingdom safe from enemies. It means that if you fail to do your job it becomes a curse. Althea is terrified of Knightess Day. Especially since she's turned eighteen, which means that she and every girl her age in villages across the kingdom must enter into a competition where the chance for being Chosen as a Knightess is either high for you or very low. To be Chosen is practically a death sentence, not only for her but for her twin brother and grandmother. She knows this because her mother was a Knightess, before she was brutally murdered by an assassin while defending the Queen. On the morning of Knightess Day Althea, while walking in the woods, meets two mysterious strangers who give her a simple yet frightening warning: do not get Chosen. Then they disappear. Suddenly, Althea is unwillingly Chosen by the Head Knightess and is forced to go with the other Knightesses to the Queen's palace. And now her brother's life is in danger.Complete
