Prologue: Runaway

━━┄°༺ Royal Palace ༺°┄━━


"I don't want to live with you anymore." sobbed Lisa.


Yet, no one heard her screams.


High-roofed walls, decorated with extravagant and luxurious items in the entire room. The crying crown princess Lisa laid on the bed alone in the darkness. Only the wall hears her cry. Only her pillow knows how many tears she shreds.


It is not an unusual thing to see Lisa like this.


She is the crown princess but never gets treated like one. Not even maids treat her properly. Everyone in the palace hates her.


'Is being a commoner and getting married to the crown prince a crime?' is what Lisa thinks when people glare at her.


She wants to talk back and shut their mouths down to the people who openly hate her. But what's the use when your husband insults you in front of them.


'Today is our wedding anniversary. Yet you are busy fucking other women in your room.' cried Lisa.


While Lisa is sobbing, she heard weird noises. The next thing she heard made her heart crumbled.


She heard moans of a woman from next to her chamber, which is her husband's, ached Lisa's heart more.


It's like this every day. Since the day she entered this palace, she never lived peacefully.


Her husband never treats her as a wife. The palace workers make fun of her. She lost all her dignity, self-confidence.


After some time, Lisa stopped crying and started thinking.


'why am I even crying?'


'What wrong did I do to cry?'


'Why did I let people bully me?'


'Why am I acting inferior?'


'Where is the active Lisa who is not afraid of anything?'


All these questions sparked a fire inside Lisa's heart.


Unknowingly, she let others bully her. This realization made her disgust herself. Her eyes started burning in anger.


'I had enough. People here took my patience for granted. Now it's over.'


'My heart finally said enough is enough.'


'You forgot that I'm a human. There will be a breaking point for everything, and I have reached mine.'


With that, Lisa stood from her place and moved towards her closet.


'I can't stay here anymore. I'll leave.'


——-


She wants to run far away from him and this marriage.


Can she?
