Chapter 854 - Rowena Decides To Leave (2/2)

They were only spared because they were not close to her Julian nearly died because she was unable to speak up and confront her father properly

And Lucent died because of her failure to be the daughter that King Draco wanted her to be

Rowena stared sadly at the last feather from Lucent and then paused

No

It wasn't Rowena's fault

"Why… Why do I keep bla myself when it was my father who'd done this and not me?" Rowena asked with a bitter realization "I didn't ask for Lucent to die… My father was the one who did it out of his own volition"

She could have done everything she could toDraco, happy, but he would never be pleased with her Julian was right when he called Rowena's father a terrible king The hter

Roas led to believe that everything that happened for the past years was her fault and mistake That it was she who had erred and not the other way around, but now, she could see the truth

King Draco placed too ht on her shoulders, made others suffer, and called them just consequences for her actions He had fed her lies just to keep her in check

Never once in his life did the man make himself accountable

This was the last straw

"Enough is enough" Roiped her tears furiously and pulled herself up from the floor She looked around the roo to be happy here in the castle with her father

That was true

Rowena only hesitated yesterday because she orried about Lucent, she didn't want to leave him behind and she had been terribly afraid of the consequences that er afraid

"There's nothing left for me here," Rowena said bitterly This castle was her whole life, her hoo for her own safety What awaited her out there… she didn't know

She would leave the only world she had ever known Would she be happy outside? She didn't know But she sure knew she was not happy here She couldn't expect to get different results if she kept doing the sa

If she stayed here, she already kneas in store for her, more years of abuse from her father and she would live in fear Finally, three years from now she would be married off to any man that her father chose from her

Would she want to live such a life?

No
