No one ever said to him: "Just be yourself, you don't have to pretend to be someone you're not."
No. No one had ever told him such a line before tonight. Even Bianca, who had been good to him since childhood, wouldn't dare say that he didn't have to pretend to be someone he wasn't.
Bianca already knew his secret, and she also knew that he didn't like pretending to be a girl all the time. However, she was only a lowly servant with no authority in the palace, and she would not dare to give such freedom to the pitiful Crown Princess.
The ones entitled to give him freedom were the King and Queen who were none other than his parents, but they also didn't want to use their authority to give him freedom.
Instead, those two were the ones who kept forcing him to pretend to be someone he wasn't. They both asked him to keep pretending to be a girl, keep wearing the beautiful dress, and also keep putting on makeup on his face.
