"Mother, open the door!" Princess Olivia's desperate voice echoed in the dark room, her thirst and trembling evident in her cries.
"Mother!" The door finally swung open, revealing the duchess. Olivia crawled towards her, clutching her mother's leg, pleading, "Mother, I won't do anything you don't like. I'll do as you say. Please don't keep me here. Please take me with you. I can't breathe here."
"Did you learn your lesson, Olivia?" The duchess questioned with anger, and Olivia nodded in fear.
"Okay, now come with me!" The duchess attempted to lift Olivia forcibly from the ground. Tears streamed down Olivia's face as she sniffled, cried, and hiccupped, bearing the pain she endured inside the dark room for hours.
"Mother, where are you taking me? I'm thirsty. Can I drink a little water?" Olivia finally spoke.
