' Is this what Daisy felt that day ?', I think as the pain hit me suddenly
Leylin looked way too young when compared to the white haired guy who I assume is my father.
Is there some kind of story behind their marriage ?
Will she ever stop pinching me ?
Several questions entered and left my mind as soon as they came because of the immense pain.
' You know what ?.... fuck this bitch.', I thought in anger.
Why should I suffer because of her lousy husband ?
I use all the power I had to flip her off, I enjoyed the stunned expression on Leylin's face as she stared at my tiny middle finger.
But as I still didn't feel all that statisfied so I slapped her with my baby hands.
I'm sure that my jelly like palm couldn't have hurt her all that much, so why's she crying now ?
Big fat tears rolled down her face and she pulled me closer to her.
I attack the short horns on her head at her abrupt action, but I stop when I hear her whisper,
" I'm sowwy... I'm sowwy...", she went on and on.
....
Why's she so obsessed with soya beans ?
Its takes me a minute to understand that she was apologizing.
The language is similar to the one spoken back at home, but has some subtle differences.
This scene reminded me of some bad memories, I could relate somewhat to this woman..
So, I'll forgive her just this once.

Leylin Roks was the only daughter in the 'Roks' family. The Roks family had once been a prominent family within the Demonic Kingdom but as the years passed their family started to decline in power and in Leylin's generation their family was almost close to dissolving.
The elders within her family were desperate to do something to prevent this that was when the proposal from the palace came,
A marriage proposal.
To the third prince at that !
Leylin was happy to get the chance to help her family, even though she was dissapointed that she had to marry someone she didn't love and double her age, she was sure that in time, they would truly fall in love.
Apart from being happy and excited, she was also a little confused.
Why would the the third prince want to marry her, she was pretty sure that they hadn't even met.
Or had they ?
Leylin had always read stories about princes who went in disguise and fell in love with an innocent beauty in her erotic novels....
This thought added more excitement to her and she awaited the day for their marriage.
But she forgot that this wasn't a story from one of her erotic novels... this was reality and reality can often be dissapointing...

On the day of the marriage, she glammed up to the best of her abilities. All the the people who saw her congratulated her and told her that she looked stunning.
Was it her imagination that most of the people looked at her with pity ?
She met the third prince for the first time that day, he was as handsome as the rumours said he was.
The prince oggled her body throughout the entire ceremony.
She was uncomfortable throughout the ceremony because of his gaze on her, she felt that something was being hidden from her...
After the marriage was officially over all that was left to consumate it...
Leylin nervously waited for her husband to arrive in their room but he never did.
She fell asleep waiting for him, the next day when she woke up, she was surprised to see that she was naked, her clothes had been torn up and bite marks and scratches covered all parts of her body. She felt pain engulfing her entire body, her body felt sore.
She was was confused at first but as realisation struck her, she felt disgust crawl up her body and rushed to the bathroom and threw up.
Tears fell down her face and she felt that everything she had ever dreamt about had fallen apart.
Love, Happiness, Peace... everything she ever wanted collapsed in an instant.
She didn't even see a glimpse of her husband all night long...but she knew that it was him.
Why didn't she wake up ?
Did the prince drug her ?
Several questions came into her mind.. but all those questions went away as another bombshell was dropped on her.
The prince had a bastard, moreover his mother was rumored to be a human !!
A son, who had born recently.
Now everything became clear, why the royal family extended the proposal to a declining family like the Roks... still her family must have known this when they accepted the proposal... in other words, they had abandoned her.
The royal family must have wanted to quickly marry off the prince.
Leylin couldn't get a hold on her emotions any longer. Everything in her mind was in disarray.
~~~~
Today, the bastard would be handed to her.
She was to be his mother from now on..
She had calmed herself to an extent but when she saw the child she became angry once again.
She hurt him... because there wasn't anyone else she could hurt.
The child didn't cry even though he displayed a pained expression on his face.
He gently cupped her cheeks with his soft hands and Leylin finally snapped out of it.
She was horrified to find that the baby's cheeks had become red...
Why had she done such a horrible thing to an innocent baby..?
Self loathing, anger, sadness, she experienced all these emotions simultaneously.
This was her breaking point.
She couldn't take this any longer, she fell to the floor and started sobbing, she muttered out apologies left and right.
She wanted this suffering to end... she wished for someone... anyone to come help her.
Just as this thought passed through her mind, she felt the child's tender hands on her cheeks yet again.
" Are you consoling me ?", Leylin asked wiping away her tears.
To her question, the baby curtly replied,
" Gugu Gaga"
Hearing his incomprehensible words, Leylin laughs for the first time since coming to the palace.
