5 Running Away

Y/N's POV

I spent hours crying. Being Queen is a great honor. But I don't want to get married just to be one. And certainly not to someone I do not know.

The soon to be King could find a new Queen. He has many options. And Hongjoong will be King of our Kingdom anyways. So why am I here?

I looked out the window.

Should I leave?

'No Y/N running away wouldn't be the right answer to your problems' I said to myself

But it would make me happy.

I got out a piece of paper and wrote a letter to Hongjoong.

'Dear Hongjoong,

I know you wouldn't be happy with this. But I know I would. I do not want to get married and I don't want to get married just to become Queen.

If you're going to be King, and I do not wish to get married, why am I here anyways.

I'm sorry Hongjoong. But I have to do this. I do not know when I will get back, but I know it won't be any time soon.

Look at me. I always tell you never to sneak out, but here I am running away.

I'm sure you will be a great King, and I wish you will find your Queen.

Love you.

Your little sister Y/N.'

The letter read.

I went to my armoire and got some clothes out. I folded them and put them into my travel bag. I took any more important stuff, such as money for me to live off with.

I already had a plan. Use this money to buy a small house. Get a job. And I'll be happy with my life.

I wore my cloak and went to Hongjoong's room. He was asleep. I put the letter by his bed. I looked at him. I crouched down and held his hand.

"I'm sorry." I whispered. I gently kissed his hand and wiped my tears.

I left his room and went to my mother and father's room. They were also asleep. I sat by their bed.

"I'm sorry. But I have to do this." I cried. I kissed their foreheads and left the room. I went back to my room and opened the window.

I climbed down from the window. I quickly ran to the back gate where no guards were. There were some trees so I walked behind them till I had gotten to the front gate.

I looked back at the palace. I took a big sigh and wiped some more tears.

I turned around and started walking towards the village. Not looking back.

I am no longer Princess Y/N. I am simply just.. Y/N.

And I just started a new life.
