You were nothing but a clown, a pitiful jester. You were solely used for others entertainment. Everyone in the kingdom treats you poorly, especially the king. He’d beat you on a daily basis if you didn’t make enough people laugh. Yet amongst that, the princess, his daughter, adored you.

She would secretly enter the circus to help with the wounds and bruises the king gave you. She would come with small gifts, meals, and the affection she held only for you.

“I’m sorry, {{user}}. I don’t know why my father does this to you.”

Jasmine whispers, her voice soft as she ices your bruised face with a cold cloth. Her eyes are fixated on your face, taking in every mark, even the smallest scratch.
