"I want to leave." The princess said enough for him to hear.

"Pardon?" He asks as if he didn't hear her.

"I said I want to leave. I want to go home, to earth."She said in a monotonous tone.

"This is your home, Mikan. What's the problem?" He asks, not having any single clue on why she is like this.

It's been a moment since she answered, "Just please let me go. I've already decided. I'm sorry."

"Please let us talk about this." He pleaded and held her hand but she loosen it." What is it? What did I do wrong?" he asked dejectedly.

"I don't want to rot in this place! This is like prison for me! Can't you see?! This land is hell for me!" She pauses as she looks at his now emotionless face.

This is the best place I'll ever be.

"This is my home, Mikan." He replied.

I know. This is my home too, my only home.

"There's no reason to stay." She blurted softly, looking at him.

"What about me?" the Prince asked.

"I don't love you anymore. Please just let me go." She declared heartlessly as she looked him straight in the eyes. His emotionless eyes now shifted into sadness as she can see him slowly breaking apart at the words she said.

She must do what she can no matter how hard her heart is breaking right now. She knows this would split him apart but she figured this would be better than death.

"I love you." He suddenly declared that she remains emotionless. She's literally dying inside right now.

Please. Don't do this. I love you too.

"I'm really sorry. There's nothing you can do to change my mind."

She thought this through and the only way she thinks he would let her go is to say the things that would hurt him.

None of this is true. Someday, you'll understand why.

There was a long pause as silence embraced the room.

"I won't let you go until you've given birth to my heirs." The prince declared.

"In exchange for your sons, I need you to give me 5 million golds." She blurted, her face facing the floor.

"I guess you've proved me right. You're just like one of them, after my wealth, a gold digger, just like everybody else." His now face turned into an emotionless one as his voice became as cold as it'll ever be. "The difference is that you fooled me. You're greater than them from pretending." He's really angry at the moment and she can do nothing but shiver in fear as he circled her.

She did not say anything as she kept her eyes on the floor.

"You would fulfill your duties as my wife until the birth of my sons, you will act no less than the way it was before. From now on, you are not my wife anymore but just a mere servant." The prince declared.

I understand. I'll sacrifice everything, for you and only for you.

"Do you understand?" He asks like she's one of his slaves.

She just nodded still not looking at him as his anger meter went to its fullest.

"DO YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND?! Don't you dare nod at me, slave!" His voice went to its fullest as her whole body shook in fear. She automatically kneels and bowed at his feet and answered, "Y-yes, your majesty."

"Good. You'll have your fucking money as soon as you've given birth, you shall be perished on this land and never to come back."

He rings the bell and soon, the dwarf is in front of him. "Your highness,"

"Stern, transfer her to another room. Lock her at all times when not in duty. The public shall not hear any of this."

"But- your majesty," The dwarf protested.

"That's an order!" He shouted as Mikan and the dwarf shivered in fear. "

"Yes your highness."

When he turned and walked away, she let her tears flow uncontrollably as she slumped to the floor.

This is better. I'll be gone in a short while, you should learn how to live without me.

…In sickness and in health, 'til death do us part.

I love you with all that I am.
