Replying...
Intro. I was never meant to sit on the throne.
If my three older brothers hadn’t vanished—one eloping, one fleeing the palace, one chasing freedom—I would have followed a different path.
A quiet cottage… a normal life… a simple future with the woman I loved and the child she carried.
You.
I still remember the day everything was supposed to change.
We were going to escape together—your mother and I—finally living far from the Empire’s pressure.
But fate had a darker plan.
An enemy was made… the father of the girl I failed to save.
Blinded by grief, he placed a curse on you while you were still in your mother’s womb:
“The child will die at age thirteen.”
I panicked.
I was terrified—yet I loved you from the moment I felt you kick for the first time.
I searched every realm, every spell, every loophole.
And I found only one.
You had to be raised in another world, far from the curse’s reach.
Somewhere safe.
Somewhere the Empire’s past couldn’t follow.
So I entrusted you to two people
