Chapter 1

It is a sunny day in the Fiore Kingdom. Like always I was sitting on my window sill staring out into the countryside. I want so badly to explore it, but my father has forbidden me from ever going outside the castle walls. My mother, oh how sweet she was, giving me the love I needed, but then there is my father who has always been cruel to me. Ever since my mother died when i was 8 my father has done the worst to me. He has tried to seduce me when was drunk, thinking that I was my mother because we look so much alike. Then soon after his moments of bliss he comes back to reality and then beats me because of how I look like my mother, and he is disgusted at what he tried to do. I hate my life, always living in fear of what my father will do next.

"Lady Lucy" called my maid "your bath is ready"

I got snapped out of my thoughts and quickly made my way over to the double doors that lead into the bathroom. "Thank you, Virgo" I said in a small but kind voice. I stripped off my silky gown and then slipped into the tub. The water was nice and warm, just the way I like it. A small smile crept up to my lips.

"Its always so nice to see the princess with a smile on her face" Virgo exclaimed with a wide grin.

I pulled my legs up to my chest and rested my head on them. No one ever saw me smile anymore. Ever since my mother passed on... I have always been distant, and my father wasn't helping. I want to be happy... I really do, but its super hard to be positive. I don't think I will ever be happy again. The smile that was dancing across my lips soon faded at the thought.

Virgos expression saddened "did I say something to upset you, should I be punished?"

"No, no not at all" I looked up and put on a fake smile. "If you wouldn't mind I would like some alone time."

"As you wish, princess" Virgo said while exiting the room.

After about an hour I got out of the tub and started to dry off. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. My golden locks that went all the way down to my lower back was sticking to my skin. There were slash marks all over my body from the whippings I got. I covered up my ugliness with my cloud soft towl and proceeded to my bedroom to get dressed. I got on my favorite white and blue gown. I then walked out of my room and made my way to the library. I quickly got the current book I was reading. The novel was about a princess who had a fateful encounter with a man that she soon fell in love with. I wonder if i will find my prince charming. I quickly threw away that thought , there was no need to talk about love. After all my father will force me into a marriage, so it will just make things complicated. Besides there was no one to love in this cruel world.

I started reading were I last left off in my book. Goliath (man that princess fell in love with) is about to save the princess from a evil dragon who is trying to steal her away. Goliath quickly slashes his sword at the dragons feet cutting both of them off. The dragon roars in rage and is about to fly off, but Goliath throws his sword into the heart of the dragon and reclaims the princess. After that horrific fight Goliath is worthy of the princess, they soon get married and live happily ever after.

"Lady Lucy" I look up from my book to see Aries huddled behind the library doors.

"Yes Aries, What do you need?"

"The king has summoned you"

My heart almost stopped. "A-alright" I quickly set my book down and followed Aries to the thrown room.

Aries stopped in front of the double doors that lead into the thrown room.

"I wish you the best of luck, m'lady"

I nodded, gulped and then pushed open the heavy doors. I walked in, the doors shutting behind me. I slowly made my way up the red carped and stopped when I was about 3 feet away from my father.

"You summoned me" I asked

"Indeed I have" said King Jude "I have some very important announcements that include you...I would be honored to say that you are getting married to the Prince of the Ice Kingdom, I hope you will choose the right decision. Not that you have a choice." He whispered the last part.

"I would be happy to, father"

"Good, now I would like it if you came to my room tonight for a birthday gift" a smile played across his lips.

I was astonished, my father never gave me birthday gifts, I was only turning 18. Why would he give me a gift? I felt happiness course through me for the first time since my mothers death.

"I would be honored to" a real smile was on my lips, I didn't have to fake it.

Later that night after dinner I made my way to my fathers chambers. I have never been inside, I wonder what its like? I was soon at the doors that lead into his room. First I knocked. There was no answer. Then I knocked again but faster and louder. Why wasn't he opening the door? Was something wrong? I quickly opened the doors to reveal my father sitting in a velvet chair next to a lit lamp, the rest of the room was dark, and it smelled awfully of alcohol. I stood in the doorway.

"come in Lucy, don't you want your gift?" His words were slurred, I could tell he had been drinking. I made my way over till I was about 1 foot away from my father.

"here you are" My father grunted as he pulled out a white box with purple ribbons from behind him. I hesitantly took the box and opened it. There was a white silk dress with at types of colorful flowers. I gasped this is the most beautiful thing my father has given me.

"go try it on" my father said with a smile. I hastily made my way to a dark corner of the room and slipped the dress on, it fit perfectly. I made my way out of the dark and twirled around.

"Its beautiful, thank you"

"You look just like your mother in that dress" his tone got harsh, and instantly I knew what was to come.

My father started slashing me with his whip. This time it was harder than any of the other times I got beat. I screamed and fell to the ground taking all the hits. Blood had been drawn, I could feel the warmth of it flowing down my arm. I started to cry.

"STOP... PLEASE FATHER... PLEASE" I yelled out the words with all my strength, but the whippings just got harder.

"Now get up you filthy bitch"

I slowly got up. My body was covered in blood. I made sure not to make any noises as I slowly walked back to my room. When I got into my room I got out my first aid kit and started to clean my fresh wounds. Tears were still streaming down my face and I couldn't stop them. I was sick of this, always being afraid of my father, and worst of all, always getting beaten. I couldn't take it anymore. I am going to run away.

Once my wounds were all cleaned I wrapped them with bandages. I then got out a satchel, extra clothes, a cloak, and my boots. I put on the boots, and draped the cloak over my shoulders making sure to cover my head with the hood, my long golden locks showing through the hood. Hopefully no one would notice that I was the princess. I then put the rest of the items in my satchel and quickly made my way to the kitchen. I scanned through the pantry getting only dry ingredients that would last me a while. I then made my way to the balcony on the north side of the castle. Once i reached my destination I opened the french doors. The I climbed over the railing holding onto the vines that would lead me to the ground, safe and sound. Once I got onto the ground I made my way to the front gates. I peeked around the corner. There were two guards stationed there. Luckily I studied the human body. I quickly made my way over to them making sure not to make a single sound. Then I quickly and swiftly pushed down on their pressure points. They soon fell to the ground unconscious.

The smile on my lips would never fade. I would never have to deal with my father again. I was free.

I hope y'all enjoyed. I spent about two days writing this. And don't worry I will totally make more chapters! :)
