"I wonder… how father is doing" Thought Susana while looking at the ceiling.

She had grown sick of looking at the same ceiling after two weeks, surprisingly enough, his captor, the prince of Arcadia Felipe, came everyday to give her food. She thought that, since he is a prince, he will be quite busy and let his "guards" do the dirty job for him. After looking at the ceiling for some time, she closed her eyes and sat down, she lifted her delicate hand and grabbed one book from the stand nearby her bed, since she didn't have anything to do and been sad didn't resolve anything, she investigated the room she was in, no long after she found this stand that had the amazing amount of 30 books on it. As the princess and future inherit of the throne of Tulip, she obviously knew how to read, and she quiet enjoyed. This time is was a book about the different towns in Leitol and their history.

"It's quite boring I learned all of this in Dragon's academia" Thought Susana.

After some minutes, while she was still flipping the pages, she heard the sounds of steps. She closed the book and saw a shadow coming.

"He is here again" Thought Susana while looking at her other side, looking at a small sand clock, when one looked inside the sand clock, and one could the last bit of sand running out.

"On time, as always"

Felipe came to Susana's room with a plate of soup and some drinks, he put the soup at Susana's side and waited patiently. Susana, at first, refused to eat, however, what surprised her was that Felipe didn't became mad nor said anything, he just stood silently waiting, Susana couldn't resist after five hours and she drank the soup.

"Just on time as always" Said Susana while receiving the plate of soup.

Felipe didn't say anything and give her the plate of soup, he sat down on a chair nearby and grabbed a book and started reading it.

Susana was already used to this scene and began to eat in silence.

"Can I ask you something"

Suddenly a voice interrupted Susana's meal, the voice came from the man in front of him, she looked at him, he was still flipping the pages of his book.

"What- what is it?" Asked Susana.

"If you had the chance… would you change yourself?" Asked Felipe with a normal tone.

Susana didn't know how to answer this question; however, she gave it some though.

"In which way?" Asked Susana.

"you are beautiful" Said Suddenly Felipe.

Before Susana could say anything else, Felipe continued.

"Maybe… you are too beautiful, for your beauty, you have suffered, you have struggled, and, at the very end, you have become like this" Said Felipe while looking at her legs. "If I must say it myself, your appearance isn't a blessing…It's a curse" Said Felipe

"Do you regret been born like this?" Finished Felipe while looking once again back to his book.

Susana was stunned, she didn't expect that this man was going to asked her something like this.

Suddenly, a few horrible but unforgettable memories came to her once more.

........................

"LET ME GO!"

"PLEASE, NOOO!"

"Shut up! I am Lucio Pentagate, you low class woman dares to slap my face, be thankful enough that I don't kill you!"

"NOOOOO!"

.....................….

"I am sorry your highness, it seems that you are pregnant" Said an old woman.

"How!? How did this happen Susana!?" Shouted Felio to her daughter who had a black face while touching her tummy.

........................

"I refuse to birth this monstrosity to this world" Said Susana while looking down, below her, there wasn't any ground, she was in a cliff.

She took another step forward and fell into the dark.

........................

"SUSANA! SUSANA, MY DAUGHTER WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!? WHAT HAVE YOU!?"

Susana opened her eyes and saw the face of Felio, who seems to have aged several years crying at her side while grabbing her hand.

........................

Susana felt pain coming to her heart every time these memories came, she shut her eyes for some time, she took a deep breath and saw Felipe who was still flipping the pages of his book.

"i… don't regret been born like this, what I regret, it's the decision I made" Said Susana with a bitter but, at the same time, resolute voice.

Felipe stopped.

"What do you regret?" Asked Felipe.

"I regret that I didn't die instead of my baby" Said Susana.

Felipe was stunned from this answer.

Susana shout her eyes like she mas remembering something.

"Every night…."

"I heard the voice of someone calling me"

"Its always so dark that I can even see my own hands"

"The voice always sounds happy but at the same time… sad when it calls my name"

"When I want to get near the voice, my body stops, however, the voice becomes clearer and clearer"

"Susana…why…"

"why…why…why"

"why…why…why… why…why…why… why…why…why… why…why…why… why…why…why

why…why…why…why…why…why…why…why…why…why…why…why"

"WHY DID YOU KILL ME!?"

The heartbeat of Felipe increased.

Susana raised her head, despair could be seen in her eyes.

"I cant… give an answer prince Felipe" Said Susana.

"I am cursed prince Felipe, but, my curse wasn't caused by the others" Said Susana while looking at Felipe.

Felipe couldn't look at his book anymore and looked at Susana straight into her yes for the first time.

"I am cursed…

Because I wasn't strong enough to face tomorrow without been ashamed of what I am" Said Susana.

Felipe's heart beat was beating faster than ever, Felipe closed his eyes and remembered something from his own past. A small tear could be seemed on his eyes.

Susana was the one surprised this time. Felipe took notice of this and wiped his eyes while making a bitter smile.

"It seems that my own curse its lifted" Said Felipe.

"What…what do you mean?" Asked Susana.

Felipe didn't answer she looked at Susana for some time before making a small smile, he looked at the sand clock. He stood up and closed his book.

"it seems that someone has come to bring you back, isn't that right?" Said Felipe.

"Little fellow"

Suddenly, from the dark, a pair of grey eyes illumined the dark hall.

"Shishishishi, it seems that you are more than just a pretty face, isn't that right, prince Felipe" Said the small husky.
