By the Time You Came Around, It Was Already Too Late
I was the Emperor’s illegitimate child, a princess in name only, and was married off to you, a war hero, like a piece of property.
You were the one who taught me what love was. But you also showed me what it meant to feel utterly wretched.
When I realized that everything you did for me was nothing but a lie driven by your thirst for revenge…
when that woman gave birth in our mansion to a child who looked exactly like you…. and when she tried to kill me and you didn’t so much as blink , that was when I knew.
I had to leave.
I didn’t want to live as someone who could be tossed around by others any longer.
“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, Ashila…”
“Please… please, won’t you come back…?”
At that pathetic, desperate sight , one you never showed me even when I was drowning in misery , I gave a faint smile.
By the time you came for me, it was already too late.
