Episode 1 - Burden
Cedric Kilson
Why aren’t you answering me.
Cedric Kilson
If you’re gonna be this stubborn then have it your own way.
Cedric Kilson
Sentence her to death for harming my wife.
Cedric Kilson
Too late to speak up now.
Rosemary Devaro
I am your wife! Your wife!
Rosemary Devaro
Why do you consider that piece of beggar to be your wife?!
Cedric Kilson
Did you not remember signing the divorce paperwork? Or are trying to play pretend.
Cedric Kilson
Don’t you dare speak. I promised to protect you from any harm.
Rosemary Devaro
But you promised me that!-
Cedric Kilson
Silence! Cut this woman’s tongue!
Rosemary Devaro
Spare me! Spare me!
Cedric Kilson
*scoffs* and why should I? You who have done nothing but disappoint everybody.
Cedric Kilson
You lack everything a society would have expected.
Cedric Kilson
I don’t dare to spare such an evil imbecile living among my own people.
Cedric Kilson
Especially to hurt others with intention.
Rosemary Devaro
I defended myself!
Cedric Kilson
And does that qualify for you to suddenly rip them off their titles and make them beg?
Rosemary Devaro
Well they asked for it.
Cedric Kilson
If it were you, would you have done the same?
Rosemary Devaro
Like I’d ever be a beggar!
Cedric Kilson
Well seeing you on your knees today, it seems like your starting to look more like a beggar to me
Cedric Kilson
Take her away to the dungeon and don’t spare her any time. Starve her to death.
Rosemary Devaro
W-wait..wait..
The guards then knocked her out by their swords, dragging her away once she’s fallen.
She wakes up again, this time in a bed.
Rosemary Devaro
(What the..)
Maid 1: Lady Rosemary your warm water is ready to be used.
Rosemary stared at the maids standing next to her bed in confusion.
Maid 1: is my lady alright?
Rosemary Devaro
(I definitely suffered in a dungeon..why am I..)
Rosemary Devaro
(Did..did I die? Did I get a second chance at life?)
Rosemary Devaro
(No there’s no way. I’ve done evil and evil cannot be undone.)
Rosemary Devaro
-what year is it
Rosemary Devaro
(4 years before my supposed death.)
Rosemary Devaro
(Why did I even return back in time? I’d rather just burn in hell to pay for my sins)
Rosemary Devaro
Hmm..good..
Rosemary Devaro
(I haven’t met the crown prince yet.)
Rosemary Devaro
(It’s proper if I just left everything in peace for him..)
Rosemary Devaro
(In this lifetime..I won’t allow myself to hurt the people I’ve hurt. I will keep to myself and be as quiet as a mouse.)
The maids were starting to feel worrisome for the princess as she zones out.
Maid 1: don’t you think we should help?…
Maid 2: No it’s not in our position to do so..
She stared at Rosemary in disbelief.
Rosemary Devaro
I said you can excuse yourself out.
Maid 2: what about your etiquette class this morning?
Rosemary Devaro
Cancel it, I’ve already gotten the idea of the class anyway
Rosemary Devaro
(Just leave I want to sleep..)
The maids nodded and left.
Rosemary Devaro
..hm…maybe I should just spend the rest of my life in here.
Rosemary Devaro
Away from..all the troubles..
Rosemary Devaro
Besides my status is nothing but a joke.
Rosemary Devaro
Nobody even cares about me in this family anyway.
Rosemary Devaro
(They will just abandon me and throw me off to prince Cedric. The crown prince who hated how I’d use my status over the people..)
Rosemary Devaro
(Hmph. I’ll just live my life away as a single, independent woman with no husband.)
Rosemary Devaro
(Besides my family is rich, they wouldn’t care anyway, barely have any time with their ungrateful daughter)
Days pass as she’d often stay in her room either studying or sleeping. She’d only go out to eat with her family in silence.
At the dining table, they were all busily waiting for the food while chattering amongst themselves, except for Rosemary who stayed silent.
Willow Devaro
Johantes dear don’t you think you’re a bit too into this business? It’s not like it’s gonna hurt by not going-
Johantes Devaro
-I know my love but it’s for our family’s benefit. It’ll give us a lifetime opportunity from our troubles.
Tozart Devaro
Father, it’s clear you’re just trying to leave to get away from mother’s constant clinginess.
Johantes Devaro
Not true at all. I love your mother’s love.
Tozart Devaro
What’s your problem?
Tozart sneered as he stared at Rosemary.
Rosemary Devaro
I have no problems.
Tozart Devaro
Then why are you so quiet.
Rosemary Devaro
Because I want to
Tozart Devaro
For what? What are you scheming now.
Tozart Devaro
Yes. You’d usually be loud and talk about how much you wanted to see the crown prince for the first time.
Rosemary Devaro
So..how is it scheming?
Johantes Devaro
Tozart enough.
Willow Devaro
Don’t you see your sister is behaving herself?
Johantes Devaro
She’s finally been able to be enough for our family.
Rosemary Devaro
(Enough…more like you wanted me to stay away from society.)
Rosemary Devaro
I think I’ll have dinner in my room for today.
As she was about to stand up, her mother gave a stern look.
Willow Devaro
You’re avoiding us aren’t you.
Johantes Devaro
She’s still ungrateful after all.
Rosemary Devaro
Thank you for today. I’ll excuse myself out now.
Rosemary Devaro
(Never thought they’d talk to me for once..)
Rosemary Devaro
( I knew I’d disappoint them everytime but It still hurts..)
The next day she went to the woods she’d often sneak out when she needed a break from everything.
Rosemary Devaro
Maybe..just maybe…if I just left early then I wouldn’t have been such a burden for my family.
Rosemary Devaro
I’ll live my life..quietly as possible to not burden anyone from my sinful soul.
