Hi Herain here! Although this is my first story on this website, I'm no beginner on writing fanfics, or at least I had written some fanfics on friendly criticism on this chapter would be nice, my English is not that good either so I hope you would enjoy

Prologue: Why the princess ran away

To others he is justice, to me, he is anything but that.

'A walk in the park would not be that bad'

Idiot.

What was she thinking? A walk in the park when the country is at the verge of war? I understand that she's confined in here but really? A walk in the park? But more importantly I could not stop her and now she is gone.

I looked out the window in my room as a storm raged on. My sister, Michelle had went to the park. No one knew until the enemy forces had come into the town and a maid ran into the kings room and said that Michelle could not be found and left a note saying she went out to the park. By the time the guards went to look for her, she was no where to be found. The search was still ongoing, but somehow, I knew that she was gone...

Time skip a year

I took some of the clothes my maid, Virgo, had left and changed into them, wore a cloak and flicked the hood on. There, my disguise is complete. I had spent months exploring the castle, turns out there were passages that led out of the castle. Unfinished passages. Virgo helped me complete them so that I could leave, she told me to flee from this area to the enemies. She told me to go from Acaphyla Fiore to Magnolia Fiore. She said she would meet me there. I prayed to my mother to look after me and headed to the passage.

The once uncompleted passage was rocky and muddy. A little contrasting, I know, but it was the truth, the ground was rocky from the cracked up pavement that used to be here. The walls had holes here and there, making the ground beneath the pavement wet and soggy, causing the cracked pieces of stone to tilt up dangerously. Why am I trying to flee? My father. He is the reason why. He may be king, a great leader to others but to me, he is just a coward. Ever since losing my mother, he had kept Michelle and I locked up, when we try to talk to him, hoping he would remember the days important to us, he would just ask us to leave. When we become to persistent, he would raise his voice and yell. I don't understand, he was doing that even before the war. I don't think he is even worried for Michelle, after all, Michelle was adopted by queen Layla, my mother. But being not related by flesh and blood does not mean he could just stop caring. I was going to look for my sister in the enemy ground and there was nothing he could do about it. Virgo told me about a group of friends she knows and said to wait for her there but I think she knows that I am not going to wait for her long.

Sorry, it is short. I promise to update this soon. Hopefully there will be some reviews, cya next time!

Don't forget to stay awesome
