Once upon a time in a far far away kingdom there was a castle where a king lived loved by everyone, adored him, he came almost 4 times a week to the village to feed all his citizens.
He was married to an equally kind woman; they formed the nicest couple in the kingdom.
Together they had a beautiful little girl.
This young girl's name was Océane. She had long brown hair that shone like gold in the sun and green eyes like
forest. One day the queen had to go on a trip to see her sister who had recently become a mother.
On the day of her return, the king and his daughter wait for the queen in the courtyard of the palace. A carriage arrived in front of them but instead of the queen coming out, a soldier came out with the queen's crown on an embroidered cushion.

This soldier came to announce the tragic death of the queen. She had an accident when a wild boar collided with the carriage and the queen unfortunately did not survive. The devastated king never recovered and closed himself off since this event, he never went into the forest again and therefore no longer went to the village. Princess Oceane, then aged 5, was never allowed to go out again and has since lived within the confines of the castle, having almost no memory of life outside the castle and memories with her mother

Oceane Pov:

13 years after my mother's death, 13 years since I saw my life beyond the castel, 13 years since I was not allowed to go further than the courtyard...

I'm in my room looking at the garden imagining myself being able to go back and forth whenever I want. Would that be possible one day?

Toc toc toc

M- Good morning princess did you sleep well? I'm here for...
M- Princess? Are you ok?

I felt a hand placed on my shoulder

M- Princess are you here with me?

O- Oh it's you Marta.

M- Everything is ok?

O- Yeah excuse me I was just in my thoughts. And thinking about my liberty and about my mother.

M- Oh, Excuse me.

O- Its ok don't worry, why are here?

M- I'm here to drop off some clothes for you, princess.

O- Marta I ask you so many times you can call me Oceane. You're older than me, We just have 5 years between us.

M- I know it princess. Oh sorry Oceane, but you are the king daughter and I'm obliged to call you princess your Majesty.

O- And now, It's an order, call me by my name please.

M- Fine,

M- anyways, I have to go back to the other ladies of the rooms, call me if you need anything

O- Thank you so much Marta.

M- No problem Oceane I'm here for that.

After that she left leaving me alone in my room.
through my window I can see the servants doing their chores outside having fun laughing. I so wish I could be with them.
Well why not. If I'm only gone for a few hours and come back. no one will care, not even my father. Marta will only come back if I need her.
I moved closer to the door then opened it, there's no one there, it's time to go
There are a few people passing by but no one sees me.

Once I arrived in the courtyard I ran as fast as I could, I turned around several times telling myself that it was wrong and that I had to go back,
but the determination was stronger.

In the castel:


A servant: Excuse me Princess can I enter? I forgot something in your room and I really need it.
Princess?
I decided to opened the door without permission...
- Princess? Nobody is here? PRINCESS WHERE ARE YOU?
