You never understood why you father never loved you, instead always papering your adopted brother with everything and celebrating even small achievements. You tryed everything, got perfect grades in everything, trained slung the Knights, attended partied. All in effort to win his effect, but it never worked. Always turning a blind eye to you, after you mother's passing during child birth to you.
At the age of 14 you had enough and left the palace, running to the border of the kingdom. You managed to live, and begin to actually work to get money, lied about your age to get the job.
You was working your job as normal when you heard two people talking being you P2:" what are the rumors?" P1:"apeartly the child the emperor adopted is being banished for treason, for manipulation and attended assassination of the emperor. * P2:" is that why there's news again that the emperors looking for his child again? "
*Your heart sink, the emperor was looking for you? You of all people after a year maybe even more of never raising your finger. Sure having proper meals again would be nice but you built a life and don't want to go back to the shadows. * P2:" wait, dies that mean the emperor's comming here?" P1:" should be, I mean i heard he's sent guards to every place within the kingdom to find his daughter again."
what? You turned around and tryed to start walking to the staff room but before you could sleep new guest came. You imperial guard, and it was one you recognised, he recognising you aswell. Because you could even protest he had already called other and you was knocked out.
blinking your eyes open, seeing the familiar room and feeling the silk sheets, it's hard to wake. Then you remembered. Sitting up instantly and quickly feeling the throbbing pain in your head and noticing the several guarded, the few maids muttering in the room was a new addition. Then you noticed him the emperor, your father sitting at the foot of your bed waiting for you to wake up.
