7. Dark side

[7]

Yuechan was writing her journal when suddenly her sibling came to her room,

Yuechan who was writing her journal didn't paid to much attention thinking that they are going to bother her again like before .

Yue and feng glared at her , "princess Yuechan are you ignoring us" standing infront of her grabbing her attention.

"Nope" she replied and quickly got back to what she was doing earlier.

"Why are you here?" Feng asked her biting her lower lip.

"What 's that question, I should be in my room." Yuechan replied without looking at them , her eyes were on that paper in which she was writing.

"She meant, why didn't you came with us?" Yue asked her folding her arms before.

"Oh, I was not feeling well that time."she replied.

"What are you writing?" Feng asked as her gaze fell on the paper in which yuechan was writing something.

"It's my journal" she replied while looking at her.

"Ohh, we thought you are mad at us, so we came here to see you" yue said.

"Why will i be mad at you both ?" She asked raising her eyebrows.

"We don't know , but you didn't talk with us since you came from that celebration." Yue said looking downwards as she was sad , her beloved sister didn't talk to her for so long.

"Ohh, god" yuechan rolled her eyes , a smile tugged on her face she wrapped her both hands around her siblings, pulling them both in a hug .

"I love you, why I will be mad at you, i wasn't feeling well after coming from celebration, so I didn't get out of my room." yuechan said still hugging them both.

"Did you ate something wrong there?" Yue asked raising one of her eyebrows broking the hug

"I only had a bowl of soup in the celebration" yuechan replied.

"Are you on your days" Feng asked suddenly realising yuechan's behaviour.

"Yes" she replied lowering her head.

"Ohh that's the matter, I think you should eat something sweet" yue Said.

"I don't feel like eating , I am having cramps and i didn't want to go anywhere , I want to be alone" yuechan replied.

"Okay sister, we are going but make sure you will tell us if you need anything, take care! " Feng said and they left worriedly.

"Okay" yuechan replied.

And again got back to what she was doing.

May 3 ,

I don't know but I am here again , life did't give me what i wanted. no body knows about my dreams , they are big, amazing but difficult to achieve, I was born as the princess of li kingdom, but I am a girl also who want love like others, it's not about family, they all loves me, but as the princess and their daughter. I also want love in my life, I don't know, when I will find that person, who will respect me, see me as his respect , love and care about me. I am very young as princess i have to maintain everything about me and it's something that I can't do anything about even if I want to.

If I dream to love someone I can't because why? Because I am a princess of li kingdom, things do not work as I want here, everyone sees the good side of li kingdom . But no one can see it's dark side that's true.

You can't love someone of your own will if you are a princess or girl who belongs to li family.

My father , he is the king but he can't fix these things here because his younger sister want to conserve them, as the pride and reputation of this kingdom. She really thinks this should be the mentality of the reputed family, from my childhood I was told by her to do everything that I never wanted or urged to do and i was often beaten by her,

however as i was never tortured because as a princess she can't hurt me alot , if she had given me wounds, it would have been visible to others so that wasn't good for this reputed family. Feng and yue were also told not to go out back then , and this have not stopped yet but limited only , we are still the respective members of this reputed family , she will not allow us to move freely , she have some rights that are over and above in respect than my mother herself ,

because she is my father's sister. Whenever she watch me laughing too much she scolds me and the punishment is mandatory if we broke any of her rule and it's always very harsh and painful for us, my father as a king, as a father himself can't do anything infront of her, when she beat us because she has that respect and rights, i remember when I stepped out of the horse ride during the local market spot to give some money to the begger she glared at me angrily and as the punishment she beaten me with a thick wood stick on my thighs 300 times.

according to her a reputed princess never show her face to the normal people of any kingdom , i wasn't able to walk properly for a whole week when my father took an action for me he told her not to give harsh punishments but she was having official rights to train me perfectly as a princess from childhood.

she again got that right back, from that time I had followed her strict rules more respectively. That 's how li family girls live , they are not allowed to go out to the normal people , if there's an official meeting we can't go there infront of so many people's without any curtains,

she says when I will get married then only I will be allowed to go out, but my father supported me that I am his daughter he can also decide about my life and from then he decided in family functions I can go with him but she demanded for rights i needed official rights for that so from them he gave me some official rights , to collect the Kingdom's bill budget and to pay the salaries to the workers,

I was so happy that I got to do something , I owe some rights and for having some official rights in the kingdom I was eligible to be a part of celebrations and kingdom meetings, then only I was allowed to go out, but it's never that I can go anywhere accordingly to my will , I have to inform her and she only allows me when the related work is urgent or necessary, she is my aunt but she never made me feel like an aunt she thinks she is the one who gave me birth and now my whole life I have to live according to her, my mother herself can't say anything because she don't have any official rights. Everything that is pretty isn't actually pretty, they have their own secrets. And the beauty of li kingdom that everyone knows isn't true, there are more secrets that are still been hidden. Which I also don't know but knew.

My aunt said I don't have any right to love someone, a reputed princess only marry to the person which is chosen by their family, and she told me to never look at any men or to have any feelings for anyone, if she came to know she will beat me. I can't love anyone because I am from li family it's reputation and its pride.

Yuechan was done with her writing she was closing her book and was hiding it inside a cloth and then after that she hid it inside her bed suddenly she hears someone's footsteps and she started stammering, trembling as she saw the nearby jug she started pouring it's water into a glass.

Pretending to drink water, as the person's foot sounds get closer.

Suddenly a tall personality appears and that was her aunt , trembling yuechan stood up without any warning or reason her aunt came towards her and suddenly with all her force she raised her hand and slapped her tightly. Causing her to fall straight on her bed.

Yuechan couldn't understand why her aunt had slapped her.

"When did you meet him?" Her aunt said and hold her arms tightly pulling her hairs strands with all her force. Yuechan yelled in pain,

"what are you saying? Aunt did i broke any rule" she said while stammering as she couldn't understand what was happening with her. She didn't broke any rule but still was getting beaten. She yelled in pain As her aunt increased her force pulling her hair tightly.

"Aaaaah..hhhaa!!" She yelled and cried in pain

"Don't you know Ming is our enemy, when did he saw you , is there something going on between you two tell me" her aunt roared, increasing her voice at her. Meanwhile Yuechan couldn't understand anything what was she saying?

"Who is he? Whom are you talking about?" she asked still trying to process the thing

Her aunt slapped her again,tightly "you are a princess of li kingdom, don't you know him? He is the enemy of li kingdom, this time I will punish you, look! You won't forget this again" she said and asked the security guard to bring a thick stick.

"Aunt please trust me I don't know him....i really don't know him, and there....is nothing to with him. I don't even know him..." yuechan said while stammering she knew that her aunt was going to beat her like an animal ,

"Then why did he asked for you?, he sent proposal to your father , if we want to stop the war , we have to give your hand to him for marriage and 50 % of the mines and money of the li kingdom" she roared and raised her thick stick on yuechan's arm , her leg beating her like an animal , like a slave.

"Ahhhh!! I really don't know anything" yuechan yelled in pain but her aunt didn't listen to her , she was beating her repeatedly without even listening to her voice. She was beating her unconsciously. Yuechan asked her to stop but she didn't stop.

"Now you will live her, I will not permit you to go out of your room , die here this is your punishment , you will get to know how should a princess behave" saying this while raising her stick for the last time at her she left leaving yuechan crying, sobbing behind.

"what is happening with me , what was she talking about which war? Which proposal." She muttered to her self while crying in pain the wounds and scars on her body was visible , red scars caused for nothing she did.

Suddenly yuechan's mom came inside her room worriedly looking at her daughter's helpless , she was stunned and surprised at the sight of her daughter, she found her sitting folding her knees with her arms crying helpless on her bed.

"Yuechan" word escaped from her mouth as her gazes fell on her scars on her arms on her face and her neck her hands were red

"Mom" she cried and looked her with her innocent eyes which was telling that she didn't did anything wrong.

Yuechan's mother reached for her and wrapped her arms around her " I am sorry my love, i couldn't do anything my child , but I believe you , you didn't did anything" her mother said while crying, caressing yuechan's hair.

"Mom who is ming ? Which proposal was aunt talking about , I didn't even know him , who is our enemy mom ? Tell me , and how I am connected with this?" Yuechan asked while broking the hug , her eyes were numb asking for the questions she had to knew.

"Yuechan he is our enemy King of "QING KINGDOM " from your grandparents parents era , both our and them kingdom hate eachother over something that I can't tell you about, but his kingdom's last king ming's father who was just passed away around one month ago told ming to destroy our kingdom, li kingdom and to make it as there territory.

He is following his late Father's order and yesterday infront of the whole courtiers their official letter arrived that they are going to fight war against us killing our innocent people , if we want to stop the war we need to surrender 50% of our kingdom's mines, money , gold , diamond everything that makes profit and elder daughter of King li , You " she told her daughter leaving her shocked.

"I don't know where did he saw you but he is now wanting to you to make his wife in exchange of leaving our people's life." Her mother told while lowering her head crying silently.

Meanwhile Yuechan was shocked, "what??" She said in surprise putting her hand before her open mouth.

Unable to control herself , she lost her patience,

"Mom leave me alone " she unable to control her tears and anger raised her breaking voice looking downwards not able to meet her eyes with her mother."i said leave!!!" Her anger and crying, yelling increased.

Her mother couldn't do anything but left

hurriedly looking at her daughter's pain ,"she knew , she needed space." With the last glanced at her, she left crying.

"I need to meet him......yes...I will talk to him ... Maybe he understands ....he will kill our people , I need to do something, I don't want to do this marriage...... but I can't see my innocent people died and my family being suffered because me..... What to do god???? Why are you doing this with me??? " She said to herself crying badly and unconsciously on her bed. Her scars were also hurting her..

How was the chapter?

I know it was boring but I had to show what yuechan was going through , a reality not all but every princess have to suffer.

Not everything that is visible to be good is really good.

And yaa the context was also that it depends how ming will treat her in future . Her personality development as she is very young. And thinking towards ming will take shape.

Now after this chapter she is going to meet ming face to face to convince him to stop this.

Let's see what will happen when she will meet him.
