[KINGDOM OF QUIRENNE]
"As an heiress, you need to follow what your parents would always say, Iris. It's a duty and a responsibility to always follow their will as the firstborn. Do you understand that?"
Remembering what my grandfather had always told me since I was young, I took a deep sigh. As a firstborn, I had to grow up with such huge responsibilities. It was difficult for me, I had to admit that. Living with expectations as a woman was a tough thing that I wish do not exist from the start.
"Iris, are you listening to me?" Realization quickly hit me as my father, King Benedict, disturbed my peaceful thinking.
"Yes, Father," I answered with a slight smile showing on my lips.
