Chapter Five

The bright morning sun shone onto the sleeping princess Fuu. Tears made her hair crusty and rather gross. She opened her big green eyes and sighed. her eyes were red and strained for the crying and the long nights awake.

It had been a week since she had returned home. After an attempt to take her own life a guard was posted in her rom. A wound on her left wrist was bandaged and healing well. Depression had reduced her to silent days and tear filled nights. Dreams of Ferio and un heard wishes filed Fuu's mind day and night and haunted her dreams.

Fuu climbed out of bed and went into her bathroom where she could be alone. She washed her hair and face then got dressed. She had big news for her family at breakfast...

"So wonderful of you to join us," Lii said with a bow.

Fuu smiled and took a seat at the table. "If I may father, I have an announcement."

Her father smiled. "Go ahead dear."

"You see, it is that time of month... And yet nothing. To put it simply, I am with child!" Fuu said excitedly.

Everyone else in the room froze with shock.

"By whom?!" Her father roared.

"By Ferio," Fuu replied calmly.

"You run away, and bring back a bastard's child?!" Her father raged as his deep brown eyes seemed red.

"How can you say that?" Fuu yelled back.

"You whore, you bloody little whore!" Lii growled.

Lii slapped Fuu across the face.

"I'm leaving," Fuu said. "I'm going back to Ferio!"

"You most certainly will not!" Her father hollered. "You will got to your room for the day. A guard will be posted outside your room. And then I shall deal with Ferio."

"No! You will do no such thing!" Fuu yelled.

Lii stood up and took Fuu's arm. "I shall escort her to her room your highness."

The king nodded and ran his fingers through his brown hair.

"Un hand me at once!" Fuu yelled and she struggled to get away.

Lii took no heed and pulled her to her room. Fuu fought while yelling things most on lady like.

"You are a horrid son of a bitch!" Fuu yelled.

"At least I a not a dirty little tramp." Lii snapped.

Fuu spit in his direction.

"The king will have Ferio killed, a man like him cannot have an heir to the throne. The child will also die." Lii said coldly.

Fuu's eyes widened and then began to cloud with tears of sorrow. "My Ferio... My baby..."

Lii left her alone to face herself and what she had done.

"I have doomed the man I love... As well as our unborn child..."

She felt like she had betrayed the only one she could trust, and the only one who could trust her, both would never forgive herself. But perhaps the most unforgiving would be herself.

She had sentenced Ferio to death, a man that would never want her back after she lied to him about being a not being a princess, and then left him to suddenly, shattering his heart. he would die because she ran away. What a fool she was, what a fool.

Fuu lay across her bed on her back. A hand over her stomach as she though about the wonderful thing she carried. The only thing she had left to link herself to Ferio. Would she even get to see the baby's face before he was taken away? Or would the child remain a faceless ghost haunting her until her own death?
