_____ wanted to bleed out. She hoped to just die. She leaned back on her cabinet, her breathing slowing down. Her vision started to blur and she started seeing stars.

I guess this is how it ends…

I’m tired…

She closed her eyes and sat there, waiting for death.

Just then she heard a whisper from the door, “your highness, I heard screaming from here just now. Is it ok if I come in?”

____ was too tired to reply.

Then the door slowly creaked open and a head popped in, “hello? Your highness.”

Then a second voice could be heard, “is she ok?”

That’s all she heard before her vision went black.

—------------------------------------------------------------------

It was Hikaru. She was walking past the hallway to the kitchen when she heard screaming. She had always been aware of the affair between San and Harin. The gossip from the other maids and her experience serving Harin for a few months prior to being assigned to ____. She was well aware of the situation ___ was going through and the abuse she would normally be put through. However, she was too scared to speak out to Jongho or any of the Royal family in fear of her own family being in possible danger, so she kept her mouth shut.

When she heard the screaming, she hid behind a wall. She heard a door open and she tilted her head out to take a peek. When she saw a bloodied ____ being dragged across the floor by San, her eyes widened in shock and her face was drained of any colour. She covered her mouth as she continued looking at how San just threw ____ on the floor before heading back to his own room. She then leaned back against the wall as San turned to her direction. Afraid of being seen, she quickly ran back the direction she came from. 

She let what she saw settle in. Sure, she had seen the effects of San and Harin’s abuse, but she never saw blood. But what she saw just now convinced her that she had to do something. A bloodied and half conscious ____ being dragged by her husband by the hair. She could only think of one person that she could tell.

Over the past years that _____ and Hikaru became friends, they also grew close to the second prince, Jongho. Hikaru was aware of the friendship between the 2 and decided that she would tell him. 

She slowly walked back and took a peek, making sure San was back in his room, before running to the library, where she was certain, would be where she would find the second prince.

As she reached the library, she pushed open the door and called for Jongho, “your highness.”

As she was catching her breath, Jongho popped up from behind a shelf to find the source of the noise.

Warning bells rang in his head as he saw a panting and frantic Hikaru. He quickly rushed to her side. “Hikaru, what happened? Is the palace on fire? Did something happen to my father or mother?” 

“____” she said as she tried to catch her breath.

“What?” 

“I saw ____ being dragged by your brother out from his own room to her room.” Hikaru explained everything from the start, from the part when the abuse started till what she had seen.

Jongho’s face went from worry to mortification. He had no idea his brother had hurt ____. Yes, he was aware of the affair going on behind ____’s back, but he was never aware of the abuse happening.

When Hikaru had explained everything, they decided to go to _____’s room to check on her.

—-------------------------------------

When they both entered the room, their mouths dropped. They stood in shock. In front of them an unconscious _____ in a pool of her own blood. The carpet was so soaked with blood that it still had a layer of blood on top of it. 

After a few seconds, the initial shock settled and they rushed to ____’s side, trying to wake her up.

“Hikaru, go call the royal medic now,” Jongho instructed.

Hikaru nodded before running to the medic’s office.

Soon, Hikaru and Sana came running in as quietly as possible, not trying to alert the people(monsters) next door. 

Sana was the best medic in the whole of Wonderland. She was known for finding cures for the rarest illness and healing injuries in record time, restoring anyone back to full health in less than a month. 

Sana quickly did what she could to treat ____ afraid of what the king, San, might do.

—------------------------------------------------------------

_____ laid unconscious on her bed. The area where she sat still had a pool of blood and a group of maids were cleaning it up. None of the royal family had been alerted of the issue except Jongho. 

Hikaru stood by ___’s side, holding back her tears. Jongho sat beside her, staring at ___’s pale unconscious face as Sana was still taking care of ___.

Once the maids had finished cleaning, Jongho had instructed them to leave quietly.

“What’s her condition?” Jongho asked.

“She's stable for now. She’s out of danger but her mental health is at risk. I advise you to tell the king about the affair.” Sana replied.

Jongho looked at her with wide eyes, “even YOU are aware of the affair?”

“Not just the affair, the abuse as well. Ms Lee always came to me for medicine and those bruises never looked like an accident. One day, I overheard everything his highness and Ms Goo were discussing. I was going to tell the king myself, however, San had threatened me with my family and I could not risk it. So I had no choice. Sorry, your highness.” Sana explained.

Jongho dismissed Sana and continued to stare at ____. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Had he been oblivious all this time? He always looked up to his brother. Sure, he never liked how he was spoiled, but San had always helped him when he was facing any sort of trouble and he always thought of his brother as an amazing person. Seeing this side of him made him sick to his stomach. 

“Let’s leave her to rest. See me in my room tomorrow morning. We’ll discuss what to tell the king. And make sure all the maids that were here keep their mouths shut. I want not a word out.” emphasising that he wanted no gossip flying around.

Hikaru nodded and bowed before leaving.

Jongho stood up, walking towards the door. Taking one last look at ____, he shut the door. When he was outside her room, he looked over to his brother’s room door. Why? How could he hurt such an amazing person? Why did he do this? Why ____? Why Harin? Questions filled his head. But he turned around and walked back to his room. He was too tired and scared to confront his older brother, despite being physically stronger, so he decided to just leave his questions unanswered. 

What he was sure of was that he wanted revenge. These past few years, he realised how much his brother had changed. The incident had opened his eyes. He had seen what his brother had become. As he grew closer to ____ and drifted from his brother, he wanted revenge. He was angry. He wanted his older brother to suffer. That was the night, he lost all respect for his brother, despite him being king. He wanted to overthrow his brother, but mistreating the queen and infidelity were considered nothing in the eyes of his father. He was at a loss.

Author pov

7 years later, ____ is 20, San is 21

At the palace

“Let’s all congratulate the newly wedded couple and the reign of a new king!” The previous king announced.

There, in front of the whole country, stood ____ and San, the new king and queen of wonderland, seemingly happily married.

Walking back in, ____ saw Xiaoting and Chaeryeong together. She wanted to talk to them and finally catch up after so long when San held her arm tightly. 

“Remember, don’t speak a word about last night.” He threatened, then let her arm and walked out of the dining hall, most likely to see Harin again.

-------------------

Last night

“WHY MUST I GET MARRIED TO YOU?!?” San yelled, throwing random things towards ___’s direction.

____ was on the floor, in her nightgown, body bruised and bleeding from San’s abuse. 

Just then, Harin walked in. 

“Sannie, what’s going on?” 

San looked up to her and went to hug and kiss her. 

“Nothing much love, just dealing with some stuff.” San said as he looked at ____ with disgust.

Harin went up to her and kicked her. “Why didn’t you invite me to play?” she asked in her sickening high-toned fake voice.

This went on for the next few hours. They kept beating her and pulling her hair, torturing and abusing her. 

She never wanted this. She wanted to leave the marriage, however leaving the marriage will result in her family being exiled from the kingdom and her father possibly executed.

End of flashback

-----------------------------

____ walked towards Xiaoting and Chaeryeong. 

“There my little baby is. Oh, I can’t believe you’re getting married. My little baby grows up so fast.” Xiaoting says as she wipes off a fake tear.

“Oh stop being so dramatic,” Chaeryeong said, lightly hitting Xiaoting’s shoulder.

“Anyway, how are you? I haven’t seen you in so long. Is he treating you right/ Is he still seeing that bitch? Speaking of him, where is he? What kind of man leaves their wife right after their marriage ceremony? Chaeryeong bombarded _____ with questions

“Yes, he’s treating me well. No, he hasn’t been seeing Harin and lastly I have no idea where he is.” ____ lied with a smile.

Both girls seem to believe it, seeing that their faces showed the look of joy towards their youngest friend having married prince Choi and becoming queen.

Did ____ feel bad lying to the 2 people she trusts the most? Yes, absolutely. But it was the only way ____ could think of to keep them out of her problem, to keep them unaware. If they knew, ____ was afraid of what San might do to them.

The 3 of them continued their conversation, it was more like Chaeryeong and Xiaoting were the ones talking. ____ stood there in silence just listening to them, she managed to hide her feelings well since her smile looked so genuine. After all, she had managed to keep that facade for more than 5 years. However, she kept silent as she felt that if she were to open her mouth, she might break down crying.

_____’s pov

After dinner, San and Harin left by themselves to god knows where and the adults were still chatting.

“Hey, where did San go?” a voice beside me asked.

I turned to look at the person, “I saw him leaving with Harin.” I replied.

Jongho gave me a confused look. “ok…”

“Let’s just walk around! I’m bored.” Chaeryeong whined.

We took our leave and started wandering around the palace, then Jongho suggested the Gazebo.

“It’s pretty chilly so it’s actually very relaxing. I go there a lot to take a breather, you know, being a prince is kinda stressful” Jongho explained.

Chaeryeong nodded in agreement, “seems like it. Your eyebags are horribly obvious.”

Upon reaching the Gazebo, Chaeryeong suddenly voiced out, “hey, ____, did you realise anything weird about San just now? He kept only looking at that bitch.” 

“Yeah, I noticed that too. What’s up with that?” Jongho added on.

It’s probably nothing. Maybe they’re just getting to know each other. Right?

I just shrugged my shoulders, acting confused. I didn’t want to jump to conclusions prematurely. But maybe, just maybe, my gut feeling was right.

After chatting for a while, the 3 of us got tired and decided to end the night there.

“Goodnight!” Jongho bowed.

We bowed back and headed towards our rooms. Jongho’s room was at the other side of the palace while mine and Chaeryeong’s rooms were side by side.

After cleaning up, I was still bothered by my thoughts. I couldn’t sleep, so I decided to take a walk around the palace to clear my mind a little. As I turned the corner, I saw San and Harin. I quickly hid behind a pillar. I was curious what was going on between them, after all they had just met today, isn’t this a little weird? Curiosity got the better of me and I decided to take a look at what was going on. 

What I saw broke my heart to pieces. I should’ve just left them alone, being oblivious is better than being heart broken after all. 

—-------

San took Harin’s hand and gave it a kiss. “I’ll see you soon milady.” 

Her face was tinted with a light shade of red. “Let me take you to your room,” he suggested.

Harin nodded, face still a burning shade of red, “thank you, your highness.”

“Please, just call me San”

As they headed towards Harin’s room, I quietly followed them. San gave Harin another quick kiss on the back of her hand again before wishing her goodnight again then leaving.

After following San for a while, I decided to pretend to accidentally bump into him.

“Hey San, what a coincidence seeing you out here, do you wanna go to the gazebo together, I can’t sleep.” I asked.

“Sorry ____, I’m tired. I’m gonna go to my room now. Take care. And please stop calling me San, it’s your highness. We aren’t that close anymore.” He said to me in a cold voice, showing me his emotionless eyes, before turning his back to me and heading to his room.

My heart clenched at his reaction, but I just smiled and bowed to him, before walking back to my room.

Did he really like Harin? Why could Harin call him San and not me? Why? Why her of all people?

I mentally slapped myself. 

It’s not nice to think of someone like that. ____, that’s mean.

I shook off all my thoughts and quickly just walked back to my room.

The next morning we had to go back.

At the front of the palace, Papa and Ms Goo were still talking to the king and queen, and Chaeryeong was still talking to Jongho. I looked over to San and he never even bat an eyelash towards my direction. The whole morning his eyes were glued on Harin and her eyes were also glued on him.

Perhaps this was when it all came falling down and my gut feeling was right.

I sigh before quietly picking up my things and walking to the carriage, letting my thoughts consume me.
