_____ wanted to bleed out. She hoped to just die. She leaned back on her cabinet, her breathing slowing down. Her vision started to blur and she started seeing stars.
I guess this is how it endsโฆ
Iโm tiredโฆ
She closed her eyes and sat there, waiting for death.
Just then she heard a whisper from the door, โyour highness, I heard screaming from here just now. Is it ok if I come in?โ
____ was too tired to reply.
Then the door slowly creaked open and a head popped in, โhello? Your highness.โ
Then a second voice could be heard, โis she ok?โ
Thatโs all she heard before her vision went black.
โ------------------------------------------------------------------
It was Hikaru. She was walking past the hallway to the kitchen when she heard screaming. She had always been aware of the affair between San and Harin. The gossip from the other maids and her experience serving Harin for a few months prior to being assigned to ____. She was well aware of the situation ___ was going through and the abuse she would normally be put through. However, she was too scared to speak out to Jongho or any of the Royal family in fear of her own family being in possible danger, so she kept her mouth shut.
When she heard the screaming, she hid behind a wall. She heard a door open and she tilted her head out to take a peek. When she saw a bloodied ____ being dragged across the floor by San, her eyes widened in shock and her face was drained of any colour. She covered her mouth as she continued looking at how San just threw ____ on the floor before heading back to his own room. She then leaned back against the wall as San turned to her direction. Afraid of being seen, she quickly ran back the direction she came from.ย
She let what she saw settle in. Sure, she had seen the effects of San and Harinโs abuse, but she never saw blood. But what she saw just now convinced her that she had to do something. A bloodied and half conscious ____ being dragged by her husband by the hair. She could only think of one person that she could tell.
Over the past years that _____ and Hikaru became friends, they also grew close to the second prince, Jongho. Hikaru was aware of the friendship between the 2 and decided that she would tell him.ย
She slowly walked back and took a peek, making sure San was back in his room, before running to the library, where she was certain, would be where she would find the second prince.
As she reached the library, she pushed open the door and called for Jongho, โyour highness.โ
As she was catching her breath, Jongho popped up from behind a shelf to find the source of the noise.
Warning bells rang in his head as he saw a panting and frantic Hikaru. He quickly rushed to her side. โHikaru, what happened? Is the palace on fire? Did something happen to my father or mother?โย
โ____โ she said as she tried to catch her breath.
โWhat?โย
โI saw ____ being dragged by your brother out from his own room to her room.โ Hikaru explained everything from the start, from the part when the abuse started till what she had seen.
Jonghoโs face went from worry to mortification. He had no idea his brother had hurt ____. Yes, he was aware of the affair going on behind ____โs back, but he was never aware of the abuse happening.
When Hikaru had explained everything, they decided to go to _____โs room to check on her.
โ-------------------------------------
When they both entered the room, their mouths dropped. They stood in shock. In front of them an unconscious _____ in a pool of her own blood. The carpet was so soaked with blood that it still had a layer of blood on top of it.ย
After a few seconds, the initial shock settled and they rushed to ____โs side, trying to wake her up.
โHikaru, go call the royal medic now,โ Jongho instructed.
Hikaru nodded before running to the medicโs office.
Soon, Hikaru and Sana came running in as quietly as possible, not trying to alert the people(monsters) next door.ย
Sana was the best medic in the whole of Wonderland. She was known for finding cures for the rarest illness and healing injuries in record time, restoring anyone back to full health in less than a month.ย
Sana quickly did what she could to treat ____ afraid of what the king, San, might do.
โ------------------------------------------------------------
_____ laid unconscious on her bed. The area where she sat still had a pool of blood and a group of maids were cleaning it up. None of the royal family had been alerted of the issue except Jongho.ย
Hikaru stood by ___โs side, holding back her tears. Jongho sat beside her, staring at ___โs pale unconscious face as Sana was still taking care of ___.
Once the maids had finished cleaning, Jongho had instructed them to leave quietly.
โWhatโs her condition?โ Jongho asked.
โShe's stable for now. Sheโs out of danger but her mental health is at risk. I advise you to tell the king about the affair.โ Sana replied.
Jongho looked at her with wide eyes, โeven YOU are aware of the affair?โ
โNot just the affair, the abuse as well. Ms Lee always came to me for medicine and those bruises never looked like an accident. One day, I overheard everything his highness and Ms Goo were discussing. I was going to tell the king myself, however, San had threatened me with my family and I could not risk it. So I had no choice. Sorry, your highness.โ Sana explained.
Jongho dismissed Sana and continued to stare at ____. He couldnโt believe what he was hearing. Had he been oblivious all this time? He always looked up to his brother. Sure, he never liked how he was spoiled, but San had always helped him when he was facing any sort of trouble and he always thought of his brother as an amazing person. Seeing this side of him made him sick to his stomach.ย
โLetโs leave her to rest. See me in my room tomorrow morning. Weโll discuss what to tell the king. And make sure all the maids that were here keep their mouths shut. I want not a word out.โ emphasising that he wanted no gossip flying around.
Hikaru nodded and bowed before leaving.
Jongho stood up, walking towards the door. Taking one last look at ____, he shut the door. When he was outside her room, he looked over to his brotherโs room door. Why? How could he hurt such an amazing person? Why did he do this? Why ____? Why Harin? Questions filled his head. But he turned around and walked back to his room. He was too tired and scared to confront his older brother, despite being physically stronger, so he decided to just leave his questions unanswered.ย
What he was sure of was that he wanted revenge. These past few years, he realised how much his brother had changed. The incident had opened his eyes. He had seen what his brother had become. As he grew closer to ____ and drifted from his brother, he wanted revenge. He was angry. He wanted his older brother to suffer. That was the night, he lost all respect for his brother, despite him being king. He wanted to overthrow his brother, but mistreating the queen and infidelity were considered nothing in the eyes of his father. He was at a loss.

No one outside the castle, except San's parents, knew what was going on. Everyone assumed that San and ____ were happily married. Not even Chaeryeong nor Xiaoting knew anything. ___ was too scared to say anything to anyone, being afraid of what San and Harin were capable of and now that San was king, she was more scared.ย
Living with San for 3 years was a nightmare. Every night for the past year, she could hear the things going on in Sanโs room, having her room next to his. If they were not at it, they would be torturing her. Whenever San or Harin had a bad day, the 2 of them would team up to beat her. ___ would always end up crying by herself on her bed, body in pain. She would always tend to the wounds herself and every morning, she would wake up early to cover the marks.
Over time, ____ started feeling helpless, she was always in a state of depression and fear. She wouldnโt leave her room unless San or Harin called for her. She was scared to disobey. She felt depressed. She spent most of her time crying and hardly ate anything.ย
One specific night, Harin suggested using a weapon to add to the torture. So, San drew out his sword and slit her arms. The cuts left were deep enough to draw bloodโฆ A LOT of blood, it kept flowing out and it left a searing pain in her arms. She screamed in agony as more and more blood dribbled down her arm. San picked her up by the same arm making her scream in pain.
โShut the fuck up, fucking bitchโ he warned in a threatening tone before throwing her on the floor.
โSannie, enoughโฆโ Harin whined from Sanโs bed.
โI think thatโs enough for tonight. I need you now..โ She continued whining.
โOk sweetie,โ San replied to her with a smile.
Making sure no one was outside, San dragged ____ to her room. Making sure not to leave a trail of blood, he threw her on the floor before slamming the door shut. For a while, she sat on the floor crying and crying blood still dribbling down her arm, staining the once perfect white carpet.
Then an idea came into her head. She couldnโt take it anymore. She couldnโt take the abuse. She was tired and she just wanted to sleepโฆ foreverโฆ

Over the past 7 years, San and Harin would always meet up behind everyoneโs back, thinking no one knew of their secret meetings. Harin would always go to the palace to visit San so as to not raise suspicion from her step-father, and the king and queen were too busy to care about how often Harin would visit. ___, however, was well aware of these secret meetings and the blossoming relationship between the 2. She would just always act oblivious just to trick herself to spare her heart. That was up till 3 years ago, when ____ was forced to move into the palace as she was already 16. This made her even more aware of the things going on in the relationship. The maids would always look at her, sometimes with pity, while other times they would sneer and snicke as they walked past her, gossiping about the relationship between their prince and her step-sister. For the past 3 years, ___ had not gone back home. She hardly ever saw her father, Chaeryeong or Xiaoting. She wasnโt allowed to leave the palace without San. However, over those years, she made a new friend and they grew to be very close.ย Ezaki Hikaru, her personal maid. Hikaru was much younger than ____. She came from a neighbouring country and her family suffered financially hence she started working in the palace to earn money to support her family.ย ___ and Hikaru got really close with Jongho as well. Whenever ___ย had free time, she would invite Hikaru and Jongho to the library to chat and catch up. Jongho was the only person in touch with ___โs family and always updated her on any news from her family and friends. Like when Chaeryeong had fallen down a flight of stairs while chasing a butterfly but had recovered, or just how much her father, Chaeryeong and Xiaoting were missing her.
