It was currently the time where women were belittled and abused, they exist only to bear children and nurture them. Especially since your country was colonised by Spain.

Your country's workers were overworked and every single penny went to the corrupt spaniards.

People tried protesting but they lacked unity, those who opposed the system shall be slaughtered.

Christianity was taught in your country, priests held high power at your country. Priests that were assigned by the spanish colonials. The second was the governor-general, a title that demands respect — the government executive of the spaniards.

Zenon Zogratis was the youngest son of the governor-general, his other three siblings chose to stay in their home country for they were old enough.

Zenon chose to stay in your country to observe and to learn how to rule. He had royal blood in him after all, his father is the governor-general of your country while his mother is the current queen of Spain.

He had it all, wealth, power... You name it. He was extremely wealthy, perks of being a royal. He was considered handsome by most due to his messy ebony black hair and piercing dark blue eyes, pale skin and so on.

Due to his undeniable powerful bloodline, people respected him. Even older people from your country were forced to bow to him or they would face punishment.

You were the daughter of a vendor who sells vegetables in the local market, your father was only a farmer and he had a gambling addiction as well as a drinking addiction.

You ate three meals a day but you only survived off leftovers. Your beauty was undeniable, you had porcelain white skin and black hair.

Due to the oppressive system, most of your country's citizens remained poor while the people who colonised your country only became richer.

One day, as you were helping your mother sell vegetables at the market. Spanish guards patrolled the market. Unfortunately, the area you and your mother were staying at wasn't paid — therefore it's illegal.

"You can't stay there, pay or go home. " One of the Spanish guards says as he noticed you and your mother.

"Please, we don't have any money to pay with yet. Just give us a day here and I promise that we'll find another place tomorrow-" Your mother begs.

Your heart clenched at the sight of your mother begging, why should you and the other citizens be treated horribly in your own country?

"Mujer estúpida! If you are given an order, obey it immediately! " The other Spanish guard says, hurling insults at your mother. He raised his hand, about to hit your mother. Your mother quickly shielded you, afraid that he would hurt you as well.

"Detener, have you got no shame? You're in public. " A deep voice cuts in, the two Spanish guards quickly bowed deeply. It was the youngest son of the governor-general — Zenon Zogratis

"Quick, bow.! " Your mother whispered urgently to you as she pulled away and bowed to zenon as well.
