I've had a little bit free reign since I started sucking up to the king. I'm allowed to go wherever I want to go and one can guess that I'm a prisoner here.

The people still treat me horribly like I'm some sort of animal when if you look at it from another angle they are infact the animals.

The king can't seem to hide that he feels something for me, these days he finds any small reason to touch me or spend time in my company or just generally be close to me, he tries to show his affection for me in the little ways he can.

from sending roses along with my breakfast tray, to providing whatever he feels I might need to be comfortable In the palace, and whenever someone does something to hurt my feelings which I ignore I've observed be doesn't ignore it, I don't even know how he gets to know the Information, all I know is I don't seem to see the person any longer or even hear from the person.

But one thing I'm very sure is that the king is the one behind it, it's no secret anymore and the looks I receive around the palace walls only seem to solidify my assumptions. The king is besotted with me and they can't do anything about it.

He doesn't seem to remember what or rather who I am anymore, it's like I'm a different person to King Damien.

I guess if the circumstances were different I'd have considered the king but as it stands now, we can't ever be together, my people have lost a lot of things lives and property included and he seems to forget that as he woos me. I wonder what kind of girl he thinks I am, he holds my clan's warriors hostage, steals my land and also withholds the cure for for my mother's illness, how can I ever accept someone like that.

His army commander has been to see me countless times, he asks me to give the king a chance, according to him his king and friend is distracted and weak, he says it's not good for any kingdom if their ruler is weak and distracted.

He believes they can easily be attacked or worse.

I laughed at that when he said it cause immediately my kind went to my home, to my people who've had a shell of a king for sometime now. My kingdom has been vulnerable to attacks from any nation and right now I don't think anyone can stand and tell me about not being harsh on their king when they don't even consider mine.

I'm being nice on their king right now, they should just wait till I'm done and see what I'm really made of, they're all going to regret messing with me.
