For Eloísa Duvier, it is the first time that she enters the palace; she is a servant. Eloísa Duvier, feels what Princess Ingrid suffers. Eloísa Duvier, is Princess Ingrid.

...-Eloísa Duvier-...

Fate is too unpredictable. I am unable to guess. If I had the opportunity to go back in time, and modify its facts, I would do it to my liking; he could even save Princess Ingrid.

In another time, I could have settled for just the present. But now I can't speak, I can't think or dream.

The first day I stepped foot in the palace, I felt like my heart was going to explode from nerves. It was my first day as a servant.

In the midst of cleaning, I heard a door open. I heard two female voices approaching: “You're being too capricious,” one of them said, sounding authoritative and torn by her longevity. "Listen to me please!" Said the other, who was a younger woman. "Do you even know how I feel, mother?"

When I realized that it was Queen Margot and Princess Ingrid; a burning of nervousness ran through my body. Since I couldn't run away terrified, due to the fear that both imparted to me; I squatted down and pretended to clean the floor while I listened attentively to the conversation:

“Marrying Prince Hans d'Arpagen of the neighboring nation suits our family. It seems that you have no idea of ​​the benefits that this union brings; moreover, you do not give it due importance.”

"Mother!" The princess interrupted, “I have already told you since last year; I don't want to marry someone I don't know!"

“What are you telling me? You did the same thing the year before, you met him. He is so handsome."

“It is true, and at the same time it is not. I met the real Prince Hans, I saw his true face. Who really was Hans d'Arpagen? He was an ordinary person; a cold and despicable being. Unable to love anyone but himself. I repudiate it!”

“Do you know?… It doesn't matter. You had better stop expressing yourself in such…vulgar ways.”

“How were they able to hide it from me! Does your ambition have no limits? That man doesn't deserve me as a wife. What did you think? That on my wedding day; seeing my fiancé with a different face, a hateful face; the face of the man I hate the most, in this world. Would I accept him as a husband for the rest of my life? Ingrid was silent for a moment. "No!"

“Ingrid… We need to unite both parts. Our economic situation is not good at the moment.”

“Secrets of that caliber cannot be hidden for long. That disgusting being, he does not deserve to live!”

“Shut up! It's been planned for a long time. Since your birth. We have many debts with them.”

Ingrid felt the price of being a princess on her shoulders. Being a noble, it wasn't quite, being happy, it was much more than that. Being a noble meant not knowing true love. She had to obey the commands of the queen, and the people. Pay with her body, the consequences of someone else's debt.

Ingrid gritted her teeth.
