By now, everyone knows that Rasmus and I have been having an affair, spending our nights together in various camps and barracks. For three years he and I have been hiding this secret and I can’t keep it any longer. I cannot be the Princess everyone wants me to be. I cannot keep pretending to be someone I'm not.
The past few weeks have been extremely difficult for me. I have been pressured into finding a mate despite voicing my disinterest, and now I am forcing myself to sit through this degrading event to save my brother's reputation.
It's too much.
It's all just too much.
All I’ve ever wanted is my freedom, but time and time again it’s been taken from me.
This time, I’m taking it by force.
I am leaving and no one can stop me. It's not as if anyone wants me here anyway.
Why else am
