PRINCESS SOPHIA
Alienation

"Your Majesty, I want Sophia exiled for the safety of our baby!"

Duars..

"No!"

Hearing that the King refused decisively, despite being swayed by Evelyn's pressure and requests, King Erick remained steadfast in his stance not to alienate Sophia. A father's love for his daughter could not be redeemed by political demands or royal intrigue, however he was Sophia's only parent.

However, when King Erick saw Evelyn's eyes filled with worry for the baby she contained, begging him, her heart began to stir. It was as if it seemed that the decision to alienate Sophia was becoming increasingly possible for the safety of the upcoming baby. He might be labeled as a bad father.

In the end, after much deliberation, King Erick took a heavy decision. "If it was best for the baby and her safety, Sophia would be exiled. However, I want a guarantee that he will be treated well, and I will continue to monitor his whereabouts from afar."

Lady Evelyn flashed a triumphant smile, she laughed inwardly, as if she had managed to secure her position. While Sophia, who was without fault, had to bear the consequences of the power struggle in the palace.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Evelyn said as she hugged the King.

Not without reason, two people who must be protected are his children, but Sophia is already grown, the King is sure Sophia will understand better, now she must prioritize to protect the Fetus, To be honest he felt his heart was shaken by the decision he had taken himself to exile Sophia,

That night, when the moon hung high in the sky and the stars adorned the silence of the night, was the heaviest thing he had ever decided.

"Edward, I want you to exile Sophia to the North Castle. Do it immediately!"The King's Word.

Edward, with a serious expression, saluted and left the room to carry out the King's orders. However, his steps halted for a moment in front of Sophia's door, who had no idea what was going on behind the wall. He himself could not comment if the King had made his decision.

When the door opened, Sophia stood with a face full of confusion and surprise. Lady Marie, who was babysitting had a bad feeling with the arrival of Edward, while Sophia looked at Edward with an innocent look.

"What's the matter, Mr. Edward?"Ask the girl.

Edward cleared his throat for a moment relieving his sense of awkwardness."Princess Sophia, you will be exiled to the North Castle. It's an order from the king." Edward said in a hoarse voice.

Hearing those words, Sophia felt her world collapse. Tears welled up in the young girl's eyes, but she tried hard not to show her weakness in front of Edward who would escort her to the Northern Castle.

"Why did Dad do that? Why am I exiled? What the hell is going on?" Sophia asked in confusion.

The girl was walking in an uncertain direction, many questions were raging in her, why would her father do this? He never thought he would be thrown out of the palace.

Lady Marie, who had always been a supporter and shelter for Sophia, was also surprised by the decision. He felt powerless to see this unjust policy, but he knew he had to stay strong for Sophia.

He immediately hugged the girl, knowing how fragile this child was, his heart was turbulent, how would the Queen be saved if she knew her daughter would be exiled by a mistake she did not commit?

"Daughter, I will always be with you." The Lady Marie.

Lady Marie looked at Sophia with affectionate eyes. "Mr Princess, I will take care of you as best I can in the Northern Castle. Don't worry, we'll get through this together."

With heavy feelings, the two of them prepared for the journey towards the Northern Castle, without knowing what awaited in the place.The Northern Castle, which now sounded like a cold prison and far from the warmth of the palace.

"Can I see you first?" Ask the girl.

Edward shakes."No Princess."

Sophia just breathed a heavy breath. Pain is necessary like this.

King Erick himself felt unable to explain all the complexities involving the heart and responsibilities of a king.

The order to alienate Sophia not only turned her world upside down, but also left a burden in her.

...----------------...

The silence of the night enveloped the majestic palace, as if casting a shadow for the tragic tale that was beginning to unravel. Sophia, who since childhood has been an inseparable part of the palace, must now face an unexpected departure.

Lady Marie, the woman who had been a surrogate mother figure to her, tidied up the white dress she would wear for the trip to the Northern castle. Inside her private room, Sophia pondered, looking at the window that showed the full moon shining full of light.

"Lady Marie, you don't love me anymore, do you?" muttered the girl blankly.

"No Princess, I'm sure the King still loves you." Marie replied with a smile to calm Sophia down.

Sophia tried to smile, even though the loss that would occur felt so heavy. On that night, the colorful story of his life at Fullmoon Palace seemed to be replaced by a shadow of sadness that enveloped his heart.

As they step out of the room, Sophia looks at the palace room that was once a silent witness to the happiness and pain she once felt. But now, everything seems to be changing, especially after King Erick, who was once a loving father, is now being completely changed by Evelyn's influence.

In the middle of the silent palace, Sophia's farewell became even more real. They walked through the hallways that seemed to hold bitter memories, towards the gate that would take them away from the place that was once called home.

When it was time to leave the palace, Sophia and Lady Marie boarded the horse-drawn carriage waiting in the courtyard. The horses clenched their feet, as if they were feeling the sadness that surrounded this separation.

The palace gate opened slowly, letting them out into the darkness of the night. Sophia looked at Fullmoon Palace for the last time. His heart was filled with a sense of loss that was hard to express in words.

Silently, the horse-drawn carriage drove away from the palace that was once home to Sophia. This departure is not only a physical displacement, but it also means leaving a part of him trapped in memories and hopes.

The journey to the Northern castle begins, taking Sophia and Lady Marie to a place that will probably be a new story for them. However, in Sophia's heart, there were still doubts and uncertainties regarding the future she had just faced. He was determined that he would come back later not as a child again who could be easily manipulated at will,

"Goodbye Fullmoon Palace"
