The royal family were gathered in the main hall along with all the maids, Sana and Harin.
"We're gathered here today to discuss an issue that has recently been brought to my attention." San's father announced.
"San. It has been brought to my attention that you have been committing infidelity and abusing ____ and that she had almost lost her life." He continued.
โWhy isnโt Mr Lee here?โ Jongho thought.ย
San remained calm and replied, โIโm sorry father but where did you hear this from?โ
โThatโs beside the point. Did you or did you not hurt ____.โ His father emphasised.ย
San stood there in silence refusing to answer. Then Jongho voiced out, โShouldnโt Mr Lee be here? It IS regarding his daughter.โ
Just then an adviser came in and whispered something into his fatherโs ear.ย
โWhatever is going on with you, San, donโt make it too obvious. Youโre king now. Stay OUT of trouble.โ He sternly said before leaving.ย
After he left San immediately shouted for no one to leave and the person who told his father to come out. Not wanting anyone to get in trouble, the pale and just recovered ____ took the blame.ย
San immediately gripped her hand tightly, and dragged her out of the main hall. His grip was so harsh that it would most likely leave a mark. As ____ was being dragged across the hall, San could see the worried look on Jonghoโs face and realised that he had something to do with it.
โStay out of my business my dear younger brother. You may be stronger, but Iโm king. I have the political power. So watch your back.โ San whispered to Jongho, as he walked past him, before leaving with Harin following behind, smirking at Jongho, as if she had already won.
Jongho scoffed.ย
โFuck father. Iโll settle this on my own.โ Jongho mumbled to himself before leaving and slamming the door.ย
Over the next few weeks, the abuse got worse. ____ could barely walk and it was more difficult for her to eat, talk or do anything, she wouldnโt even leave her bed. San was pissed that word got out and โpunishedโ ____ more for telling his father.
One day, she called all the maids into her room. She cried and broke down in front of them, begging them to tell no one.ย
โI know you know whatโs going on. I know you gossip about all of this. But please, Iโm begging, make sure his highness doesnโt hear of this.โ
Seeing the current queen of Wonderland in this state, all the maids felt bad for her. They saw, first hand, the results of the current kingโs affair. Over those few weeks, they showed her more kindness. They tried their best to help her in any way,ย whenever they could. They felt bad for her, having to go through all this and still being able to put on a smile for the citizens,who were unaware. They were thankful that she took the blame as they knew their families and their lives would be at risk if San himself found out it was actually them that leaked the information about the abuse to his father.ย
All the maids showed her sympathy and were friendly. They were no longer cold and avoiding. They would always entertain her, whether it be the latest gossip in Wonderland or the neighbouring kingdoms or current affairs going on in their own kingdom.ย
However, back at home, Chaeryeong started getting suspicious. Her sister hadnโt sent her a letter in a long time and she was worried. She was aware that San did not love her sister and loved Harin instead. She knew her sister wasnโt actually happy about the marriage but she would at least send her letter once every 2-4 days. However, it had been weeks since the last letter and Chaeryeong was starting to worry.ย
What if she got hurt?
Well, that isnโt far from the truth..

7 years later, ____ is 20, San is 21
At the palace
โLetโs all congratulate the newly wedded couple and the reign of a new king!โ The previous king announced.
There, in front of the whole country, stood ____ and San, the new king and queen of wonderland, seemingly happily married.
Walking back in, ____ saw Xiaoting and Chaeryeong together. She wanted to talk to them and finally catch up after so long when San held her arm tightly.ย
โRemember, donโt speak a word about last night.โ He threatened, then let her arm and walked out of the dining hall, most likely to see Harin again.
-------------------
Last night
โWHY MUST I GET MARRIED TO YOU?!?โ San yelled, throwing random things towards ___โs direction.
____ was on the floor, in her nightgown, body bruised and bleeding from Sanโs abuse.ย
Just then, Harin walked in.ย
โSannie, whatโs going on?โย
San looked up to her and went to hug and kiss her.ย
โNothing much love, just dealing with some stuff.โ San said as he looked at ____ with disgust.
Harin went up to her and kicked her. โWhy didnโt you invite me to play?โ she asked in her sickening high-toned fake voice.
This went on for the next few hours. They kept beating her and pulling her hair, torturing and abusing her.ย
She never wanted this. She wanted to leave the marriage, however leaving the marriage will result in her family being exiled from the kingdom and her father possibly executed.
End of flashback
-----------------------------
____ walked towards Xiaoting and Chaeryeong.ย
โThere my little baby is. Oh, I canโt believe youโre getting married. My little baby grows up so fast.โ Xiaoting says as she wipes off a fake tear.
โOh stop being so dramatic,โ Chaeryeong said, lightly hitting Xiaotingโs shoulder.
โAnyway, how are you? I havenโt seen you in so long. Is he treating you right/ Is he still seeing that bitch? Speaking of him, where is he? What kind of man leaves their wife right after their marriage ceremony? Chaeryeong bombarded _____ with questions
โYes, heโs treating me well. No, he hasnโt been seeing Harin and lastly I have no idea where he is.โ ____ lied with a smile.
Both girls seem to believe it, seeing that their faces showed the look of joy towards their youngest friend having married prince Choi and becoming queen.
Did ____ feel bad lying to the 2 people she trusts the most? Yes, absolutely. But it was the only way ____ could think of to keep them out of her problem, to keep them unaware. If they knew, ____ was afraid of what San might do to them.
The 3 of them continued their conversation, it was more like Chaeryeong and Xiaoting were the ones talking. ____ stood there in silence just listening to them, she managed to hide her feelings well since her smile looked so genuine. After all, she had managed to keep that facade for more than 5 years. However, she kept silent as she felt that if she were to open her mouth, she might break down crying.ย
