I snuck out of my violin lesson, jumped out the window and ran to the garden, I went as far as I could, I smelled the scent of wet grass and the pollen of the flowers? Roses, tulips, sunflowers, lavender, I've always loved flowers "I wanted to marry someone who knew that and recognized how much I love sunflowers..." I thought with a soft smile on my face as my fingers gently caressed the inside of the petals, I slowly bent down to smell the flower, but I was interrupted by a hair pull, my father was punishing me again...

The metal ruler came into contact with my wrist and forearm repeatedly, blood ran and dripped onto the floor, forming more scars that wouldn't even have time to heal completely before new wounds formed, along with the blood, tears ran from my closed eyes so as not to see the wounds made by my father, no matter how much I cried, I needed to stay silent while he did this a hundred times in a row for me to learn a lesson... he said that I shouldn't like flowers, I shouldn't skip classes, I shouldn't be myself in reality, but I couldn't take it.

After the punishment, I ran to my room and then covered the painful scars with a clean piece of cloth and tied it, I looked at the window and then at my bag, I sighed heavily at the thought of finally being able to have my freedom achieved...but also fear, so much fear of being discovered and having more injuries, being beaten more, being mistreated more and not being able to scream for the world to hear where it hurt...

I get up abruptly, lock my door and then grab my bag, put a few clothes inside and some money, put on my overcoat to camouflage myself with the common people and just open the window, luckily it was low... I jump from there and then look around, there was no one, a trembling smile escaped with my thought of running away and never appearing in that palace again, I laughed and ran, I ran until I couldn't take it anymore

But it didn't take long for me to get tired

I looked around, it was getting dark, it was cold and windy, my overcoat wasn't that thick, I sighed and then sat down on the ground, my feet hurt, my mouth was dry, I was hungry, I was lost in the forest

"What did I do?"I sigh and put my hand against my teary eyes

"I don't know where I am, I wasn't thinking....oh god..."

I hear a twig break and the rustling of leaves approaching me, I look up scared and see a person in iron armor, heavy, the color of the armor was dark, it meant he was from the enemy kingdom, my god, I was screwed, wasn't I?That's what I thought before I saw the armored warrior extend their hand to me

Maybe i was not going to die...
