"....It's....pretty normal actually-for rich families-especially....noble families. They don't...see their children as children. They look at us as...heirs. They look at the sons as heirs. But the daughters...?"
She sighed, sitting down on the fountain ledge
"We're...investments....future business deals-as soon as my father can find someone who he wants to invest in-that's it-my fate's sealed. Or it...would be....actually, maybe in some ways I should be thanking the mob outside-they ruined my marriage prospects...."
She laughed sadly, biting back the tears that pricked at the corners of her eyes
"Idolization isn't love-y-you can't-love someone when all you ever see is the idealized version of them you've created in your head...but I've been put so high up on a pedestal I can't-I don't think I'll ever get down-"
She couldn't help it-the tears flowed and she choked back a sob. She sniffled, wiping at one eye with the back of her hand
"...So I can either be idolized as a false god-or owned as a false wife. Either way-either way I-I'm just-trapped..."
She buried her face in her hands-she HATED people seeing her cry-she hated that she was even crying-
She laughed incredulously
"We're equal!? No-we're not. You are a winged, male god who can-fly wherever you want and do whatever you want-and don't give me some bullcrap about-being restricted or having to stay where you are-because you don't. You really, really don't. You have a bad family life-sorry, that's shit. You have no idea what's it like to be in my shoes. NONE. I watched my mother die. I watched her die, and I got to live. I watched my dad remarry-in a fucking week. My sisters? My sisters are the reason why I don't-...............I can't leave this castle. Because there is a mob outside those gates that would tear me apart if they could. And the only window-the only method of escape from a father who-she took a deep breath The only way out, is to marry a man that would be just like him. Don't you ever compare your life to mine. And don't you dare give me hell for crying. Now get the FUCK away from me."
