Love Beyond the palace

5: A Sou

my dear, that you are loved, and you are strong. Never give up, no matter what happens." Amada felt a wave of grief wash over her as she read the message. She knew that her mother had written it, had written it with her own hand. And she knew that it was a message of love, a message of hope. But as she looked at the locket, Amada felt a sense of despair wash over her. She knew that she would never be able to escape, never be able to leave the palace and start a new life. She was trapped, trapped forever. And as she lay in bed that night, the locket clutched in her hand, Amada felt her heart break into a million pieces. She knew that she would never be happy, never be free. She was a prisoner, a prisoner of her own destiny. The next morning, Amada woke up to find that the queen had left her a note. "My dear Amada," the note read. "I have gone to the king, to beg him to release you from your marriage. I know it's a long shot, but I have to try. Hold on to hope, my dear. Hold on to the thought that one day, you will be free." Amada felt a surge of hope as she read the note. Maybe, just maybe, she would be able to escape after all. Maybe she would be able to leave the palace and start a new life. But as she looked around her room, Amada felt a sense of despair wash over her. She knew that she was trapped, trapped in a world of luxury and privilege, but also trapped in a life of misery and pain.
