He doesn't care

Why am I being punished like this?

I dreamt of a big big garden.

The image of my mother, laying dead.

I couldn't move.

This is a dream right?

This is just a dream.

This can't be happening.

I refuse to accept.

I knelt and hugged my mother's body.

I was traumatized.

I couldn't move.

I don't believe this is real.

Perhaps, I'm imagining things again.

Is it because I missed my mother too much?

Is it because of the words she said 'that day'

Should I really keep refusing reality?

I teared.

I heartbrokenly cried.

I can't accept this.

I hate the person who killed mom!

"Is this the prince?" A knight asked.

'Prince?'

"Take her" A man said and turned his back away.

"Yes, your majesty" The knights responded and striked my neck.

I woke up.

Shining jewels, Bright light, extravagant bed.

Where am I?

"You're awake, prince" The maid said with a very serious face.

"Pri-prince? but I'm a girl?" I asked.

What is happening?

Could this be all a dream?

Yeah, its impossible for my mom to die like that.

"From now on, you're not the princess Charlotte but the prince Charles. Stop acting like a child" The maid said and shot off a glare.

I trembled.

This is too real to be a dream.

So my mom is dead?

I trembled.

tears fell into my eyes.

"My mom is....... - dead?" I asked.

I was shaking. I was crying so hard.

"Stop crying!" The maid shouted. she sounds irritated.

She grabbed my arm and pulled me into the emperor's room.

"Oh? Josefina?" The emperor said after seeing her.

"Your majesty! Please teach this stubborn woman!" She shouted.

"Why don't we just have fun?" The emperor said and hugged the maid onto his bed.

Why? he doesn't even feel guilty for killing my mother? He doesn't even care at all?!

"You piece of trash! how could you bear to have fun after killing a person!?" I was eaten up by my anger.

"Person? My dear son, that woman isn't even considered a person. she's just a disgusting piece of shit" The emperor smirked – drunk.

The maid slapped me right on that moment.

"How dare you disrespect his majesty?" The maid shouted. She grabbed my hair and pulled it.

"It hurts!!" I shouted trying to break free.

She pushed me into the wall.

She kicked me many times that I started coughing blood.

"Mom..." I mumbled after the maid left.

Tears trickled down on my face.

'I will never forget this hatred' I thought.

I fainted.

A hazy dream. no, a memory.

"Do you like flowers?"

"No, my mom is the one who liked it"

The child smiled.

"I like-"

"That's the exit!"

"You....."

"Huh? what is it?"

"No, nothing"

Then the child turned his back attempting to extend his hand onto me.

But I saw a knife from behind.

"Don't!" I shouted.

I looked at the ceiling.

"This same dream" I mumbled.

6 years passed. I am 18 now.
