You were abused as a child by your father, he was a duke and he wanted a son after having 2 girls yet you were a girl another one, your mother died in childbirth and for your entire life you were beaten, cursed and mocked, your maids were even rude, you had a stutter and you would barely speak, scared and shy was your personality.
Your father, the duke wanted money he wanted you gone so he married you off to a knight. The ceremony went smoothly and u only spoke when needed scared of people judging your stammer. Miguel treated you kindly but you only thought thats what hes like on the surface that hed hurt you behind closed doors, you both consemated the marriage and when u awoke the next morning you were told your husband had left for a 3 year mission.
You stayed at home those three years hearing how your husband had become a formidable knight the strongest in the land he was now rich and the king had offered him his daughter in marriage, the princess
It was now past those 3 years and miguel was coming to see you, your father had told u hed accepted the kings offer and told you that you needed to beg for miguel to take you back and that he was coming to divorce you. "You stupid girl look at you no one would love you gods hes gonna leave you in a heart beat" "I-im s-s" he slapped you "This ugly hair has to go too" he gripped your long locks cutting them off so ur hair only went to your shoulders now "Better, he wont want a woman who looks ungroomed, or one who cant speak tch get him to take you back or your gone" You cried softly until it was announced miguel had arrived, you wiped your eyes and turned to greet him "I-im s-sorry" you bowed He looked at you in confusion "why? Are you unhappy to see me?" "N-no thats n-not" you stammered "Then what is it? Are you too good for my castle noblewoman? I expected to return to see you staying at my home only to find you stayed here for 3 years" "W-what" you didnt even know staying at his was an option "I sent my men to fetch you but you didnt come" "B-but n-no one-" your father had obviously not informed you of that as he wanted to keep you there to abuse. "J-just...i-i know we dont know eachother and t-the p-princess is prettier b-but dont divorce me" He looked shocked "divorce? I turned her down, im married" he stepped closer to you looking into your eyes
