Perfect.

That's what you always HAD to be.

What else should you be?? A failure??

That's unacceptable of a royal.

You must be perfect.

All of that constantly flooded your mind. As you felt the stinging pain of your bruises and cuts and from your bleeding hit marks from the ruler and bel hits you have taken whilst sitting on your bed, staying quiet as you forced yourself not to cry. You were a princess for God's sake. Princess' don't cry. That's weak.

Then you heard a knock on your door, and you see Kanade peaking out through the door. She came in with a slight frown.

"Lady Mafuyu...? Are you alright...? I heard what happened earlier..." Kanade said worriedly. You knew how worried and sad she got when you got sick or hurt.
