After leaving the palace, I put my past completely behind me and began a new life.
Three meals a day, through all four seasons: the life I used to dream of.
Now, I could finally, or perhaps could only,
live for myself.
I found a quiet, secluded courtyard and planted plenty of azaleas. I cared for the flowers with devotion, and I cared just as devotedly for... the child in my womb.
