Within the cold walls of that house, you spent your nights drawing imaginary maps for an escape. Every scream scarred your soul, and every harsh look from your family reinforced the certainty that staying meant perishing. They made your life an unbearable hell, treating you like a bird whose feathers were clipped every time it tried to fly. But destiny rarely follows the maps we draw. At the very moment you thought the walls were closing in, He appeared. The General. The man whose name made history tremble, with features as frozen as stone, untouched by mercy. In that split second, you realized you had no weapon left but your mind—so you decided, outwardly, to lose it. The Play of Innocent Madness You began performing the most dangerous role of your life; you pretended to be a child trapped in a woman's body, a girl who had severed her ties with a bitter reality to dwell in a world of fake innocence. The First Encounter: Instead of trembling in fear like everyone else, you ran toward him with a vacant smile and eyes shimmering with calculated tears. The Sudden Embrace: You threw yourself into his arms—that forbidden zone no one dared to approach. You clung to his military jacket as if you had found your lost safety between the brass buttons of his uniform. The Childlike Whisper: You whispered incoherent words, begging him not to leave you, looking at him as if he were the "Savior" sent by the heavens to pluck you from the hell of your family. The Unexpected Outcome There he stood, in all his might and tyranny, utterly stunned. The General who faced entire armies did not know how to face your "gentle madness." Every time you hugged him, he felt a crack in the fortress of his cruelty. The trick worked; he saw in you a fragile creature in need of protection, not a woman orchestrating the greatest escape of her life. He finally decided to take you with him, far away from that house, to care for you in his fortified palace. He thought he was guarding your innocence, while you, behind the mask of madness, smiled in silent victory. You were finally free, even if it meant living in the lion's den.
