Hello this is my first time in a while writing a fanfiction so please be nice. Constructive criticism is always welcome but please be nice about it. In this fanfic there might be some physical abuse shown. I will add warnings in the chapter they are in. Finally, I am a college student so I will be extremely busy and will not have frequent updates. I promise to update at least once a month so please be considerate.

And on with the story~

All Katarina could feel was pain as she slowly opened her eyes.

'Where am I? The last thing I remember was attending the graduation party.'

As she looked around she saw that there was nothing in the room other than the bed she was currently sleeping on and a door on the other side. It looked like a cell from what she could gather. She opened the door and found a shower and toilet.

"Help! Hello? Is anyone there?"

"Ah, good. You're finally awake"

Katarina saw a woman come into view. She had dark brown hair and brown hair. She wore a beautiful dark purple gown and what appeared to be diamond jewelry. Katarina could have sworn she saw her before, but couldn't remember where.

"Who are you and what do you want from me?"

"Oh me! Nothing. I just want you out of the way, once and for all. You ruined my life Katarina Claes! You took everything from me! And now it's your turn to suffer for everything you have done!"

And with that the woman left the room.

Katarina started to think what she could have done to anger this person. She doesn't even remember who this mysterious person was, much less what she did to cause such hatred.

After what felt like an eternity Katarina's stomach grumbled. She wasn't used to going such long hours without eating. She suddenly missed her maids in her mansion and Maria. She wanted to eat the delicious sweets they made.

After some time, she heard footsteps and saw the woman approach.

"Hey! Do you have any food?" Katarina asked with a smile on her face.

Lady Nicole was shocked. How can someone who was kidnapped be so carefree as her? Well it didn't matter. She will be afraid in due time.

"Lady Katarina, do you not understand the predicament that you are in? You are kidnapped and won't be able to return to your loved ones forever."

"Who are you and what exactly do you want with me?"

"I am Lady Nicole of the house of Banes. I am from a duchy and was going to marry Prince Geordo before you showed up into the picture. My family was looking forward to my marriage into the royal family. I was supposed to be a princess until you took it from me. All because you happened to fall and get a repulsive scar. You're not fit to be a royal. You aren't even fit to be a noble. Your etiquette and manners are severely lacking, you don't possess any notable magic, and your academic performance is subpar at best. What possessed Prince Geordo to marry you is beyond me. However, you are not getting in my way again."

"So you are just going to lock me up here until Prince Geordo has to find a new fiancee?"

"Ohhh no Lady Katarina. That is far too nice of a fate for someone as vile as you. I am going to sell you. See, while you might not have much magic power to speak off, you do know how to read and write, which is highly sought after in other kingdoms. On top of that, you have a fairly good face, so if nothing else I'm sure you can keep foreign nobles entertained." Lady Nicole laughed looking at Katarina's face. She looked paralyzed in fear. Feeling that her work was done, she turned around and left.

'Is this how I'm doomed? After everything I did to avoid the doom ending I'm still getting it. Well I guess I wanted the exile ending over death and in a way that's what I'm getting. I still don't understand the part of entertaining nobles, but I'm sure I'll figure it out. While I'll miss my family and friends, I'm sure I can survive.'
