Chapter 4

It was as if I was just tired of crying and screaming for nothing, I know they hear me but they don’t pay attention and sweat blended with dry tears on my face.

The room was dark.

I stared at the ceiling blankly that could almost collapse on my position due to its oldness.

And then realization hit me.

She doesn’t know me, she didn’t know that I’m a princess, no one has ever seen and know who the princess is, especially to the lowly people of the kingdom, but why didn’t she know about Amedil? And that’s one of my big questions in my mind right now.

The door opened as someone opened it; there was a little light in my room from the outside.

A woman my age was holding the tray with food on her left hand and clothing in her other hand.

Her head was bending, facing to the floor as if she doesn’t want to make eye to eye contact to me as she walked to closer to me, because of the outside light I could see her appearance, she was thin, her skin was pale and I don’t know, as if she was no longer can’t hit a sunlight or as if she had never left this house, her red hair was not properly tied and it was as if her old clothes were loose to her thin body.

She was shy.

She barely scanned me, “good evening young lady,” she greeted, “Ms. Cursvole ordered me to bring you food and new clothes.”

The food she brought to me was smelled delicious, the more I feel my hunger.

“Can you help me get out of here?”

Because of what I’ve said I caught her attention, her eyes glaring at me as if I’ve said something horrible.

“No, I can’t do that, Ms. Cursvole will hurt me if I will help you escape, you’re new here, you don’t know her very well, she had a very short temper,” she said as she laid down the tray of food on the floor and the clothes, there were some bruises on her face and scarcely, I don’t know where she got that.

I am desperate and I want to go home.

I take a deep breath and still I don’t feel comfortable in my position.

I could see the soup and bread lying on the floor and I returned my gaze to the girl.

“How do I eat if my hands are tied?”

She look liked thinking about my question.

“Ok, I’ll take the leash out of your hand, don’t do anything stupid and just eat the food.”

I nodded in agreement.

I tilted slightly to help her untie the strap on my hand, I feel her shakiness in her hand while untying the rope and I feel the knot in my hand loosens.

That is the signal for my plan to continue, in spite of my difficulties, I immediately turned to her to push her away, she fell to the floor, I sat down to untie my foot, she was about to go when I kicked her in the stomach so she got sick and sat down again on the floor.

I feel the adrenaline rush.

I immediately got out of bed when I finally had the leash removed.

As I came out of the room I saw countless maidens there and ate at the same time, Ms. Cursvole and Gustavo watches the girl when they glared at me, they were all stunned with stare at me.

My heart skip beat so fast.

“Get her!” Ms. Cursvole screamed while pointing at my direction.

And the two goons appeared at my side, I was shocked but before they could get it me I immediately ran in the direction of the girls, they were surprised, held back and at the same time walked away from me.

I went up to the table and the girls eating there held up, to avoid to the commotion.

“Get her! Get her!” Ms. Cursvole screamed again and again.

A man approached me, and suddenly he pulled one of my legs to sit me down and threw the soup on the table, I took the bowl closest to me and immediately slammed it into the man’s head, he didn’t even let me get on my feet so I did kick him in the face and then he let me go.

It was not over yet another man arrived, I went down to the table and immediately took the knife that was on the floor, I wiggle the knife so he can’t approach me, he held my knife to prevent it from hitting him but on my surprised someone was holding my left shoulder, all of a sudden someone pulled my knife, someone pulled on my body and held my two hands backward and the other man pointing the knife in my neck.

I was tired and sweating, the girls looked at me with amazement on their faces.

The whole dining area was chaotic; the soups were spreading on the table and on the floor because of what happened, because of what I did.

I saw Ms. Cursvole approaching me, I could feel her bruised slap on my face.

The force slapped, I could still feel his palm on my face, burning and feeling as if I became deaf.

‘A lowly rank woman slapped me!’ I screamed on my thoughts.

I feel like I’m crying while looking back at her.

“How dare you to make messed on my house!” She was mad at me.

“Release me! You don’t know me yet, you don’t know who I am!”

“I don’t care, bitch!” She looked down at the two men who were holding me, “get her back in her room!”

I was scared and my eyes widened.

“No, please, let me go! Let me go!”

I struggle with their grasp but I can’t because they are stronger than me.

I screamed until they let me into the room, the girl is no longer in the room.

He threw me to the floor and easily closed the door when they get out.

Even though I was hurt, I walked toward the door even though I can’t walk.

“Please let me go!” I sobbed while I force the door to open.

I heard Ms. Cursvole cursing the girl who caused me to escaped and like me she was crying.
