Behind the Palace walls

Clara had always been easy to recognize. Not because she was a princess, or because she lived within the grand walls of the royal palace, but because of her eyes. One was the deepest shade of blue, like the sky just before a storm. The other was a brilliant green, bright enough to make people stare a little longer than they meant to. Her long, dark hair fell gently over her shoulders, framing a delicate face that rarely showed what she was truly feeling. To the people of the kingdom, Clara was the beautiful and graceful daughter of King Scott. But beauty was not the only thing hidden behind those palace walls. Clara had secrets of her own. And soon, the life she thought she knew would change forever. A day before clara's birthday, Clara's Dad came to see her My princess, I know you have always wanted to know what life really is behind those walls, but sometimes some things are better left unknown. But dad why can't I go beyond this walls why does it feel like you're afraid, and why can't I have a normal life? my princess, you know I and your mother love you so much and we will do anything to keep you safe. But dad, safe from what exactly, I know deep down that you and Mom are both hiding something from me My princess, when the time comes everything will reveal itself to you but till then please stop thinking about life outside this walls, it is really a dangerous place out there and you can't trust anyone they are not easy as you think Dad why are you saying all this to me I don't understand any of your words this seem like riddles to me.

My lovely daughter I will be okay, just have faith my dear and don't forget the love I and your father have for you, with the morals and values we have taught you and I will always love you. The following day, the doctors came over to the palace to check up on the Queen. later on , the doctor's found out that she had a miscarriage and lost the baby. everyone could not take the news well, when the king found out about the news, he couldn't take the news well or the pain of losing his unborn child. few days later Mrs Scott gave up the ghost and this led to Clara's first tragedy. the loss of her mom was unbearable and the thought of not seeing her mom again made her heartbroken. The burial arrangements took place a month later, and the happiness and peace in the house suddenly vanished due to her death. Clara and the king slowly drifted apart, Clara didn't seem like the little girl she once was. Mrs Jane often tries to console her but Clara didn't give in. The whole house became silent and full of sadness.
