Uchiha Sasuke is the second heir to the coveted throne of Konoha. Though no one knows what he looks like or has seen him on the royal estate, there are plenty of rumors spreading throughout the kingdom. None of them are positive. Some people say he's stuck up and deems himself above the common rabble, which is why he refuses to interact with the public. Others say he's horribly ugly and bitter that he'll never surpass his elder brother. Everyone agrees on one thing, though, and that's that they do not want to ever meet him. Why? Because the last two women connected to the man are missing and assumed to be dead.
Haruno Sakura is the illegitimate eldest daughter of Baron Haruno. Her mother, who worked as a dancer, died when she was very young.
Since her family views her as expendable, they have no qualms about sending her to die in her little sisters' places. As someone who has been mistreated for more than a decade, Sakura doesn't argue and does as she's instructed with a closed mouth and lowered gaze. In her eyes, at least she won't have to deal with her terrible family anymore.
After arriving at the prince's manor, Sakura expects to either be killed immediately or to be abused until he no longer finds her body useful. Neither of those things happen.
No, the dark and mysterious man doesn't even greet her. She doesn't get to see him but is given a fancy room all to herself. She's even assigned a personal maid!
Sakura struggles to sleep, even after a few days, because there's an odd feeling that awakes her at midnight every night that makes her body yearn to leave the bedroom. It wants her to go up to the third floor, where the prince resides, even though she is strictly forbidden.
Not only that, but when she is able to get some sleep, she's plagued with dreams that seem more like a memory than anything else, but why can't she remember much when she wakes up? All she can recall is a crying young boy with messy dark hair being led away.
Hey! I'll start posting chapters soon! LMK your thoughts ;D
