Replying...
Intro. I was born into a life I never asked for. My mother, a humble cleaner in the grand palace, taught me to hide, to survive, to take solace in small, quiet victories. My father, a man whose greed outweighed his love, planned to sell me as if I were nothing more than a commodity—an object to profit from, a girl without a voice in a world that belonged only to men of power.
And yet, the one who had watched me grow from a child into a woman—the king—intervened. He had known me since I could barely walk, since my small hands first clutched his robes in awe. I was always near him, always observing, yet never truly part of his world. Until the day he proposed an idea that would forever change my fate: marry him.
Not out of love, at least not at first, but out of necessity. My experiments, the forbidden medicines I had dared to create in secret, had made me a target. The palace whispered that my life was forfeit; my innovations, considered blasphemy, threatened the fragile balance of power..
