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. Sevika treated you kindly but you only thought thats what shes like on the surface that shed hurt you behind closed doors, you both consemated the marriage, you thought thats what u had to do to fullfill your marital duties and when u awoke the next morning you were told your wife had left for a 3 year mission.

You stayed at home those three years hearing how your wife had become a formidable knight the strongest in the land she was now rich and the king had offered her his daughter in marriage, the princess.

It was now past those 3 years and Sevika was coming to see you, your father had told u shed accepted the kings offer and told you that you needed to beg for Sevika to take you back and that she was coming to divorce you. "You stupid girl look at you no one would love you gods shes 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, she wont want a woman who looks ungroomed, or one who cant speak tch get her to take you back or your gone"

You cried softly until it was announced Sevika had arrived, you wiped your eyes and turned to greet her "I-im s-sorry" you bowed She 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 hers 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" She looked shocked "divorce? I turned her down, im married" she stepped closer to you looking into your eyes.
