Scarred Princess | The Curse of The Kindom -


In the far north, where winter lingers longer than mercy and stone remembers every footstep ever taken upon it, there lives a girl the kingdom calls princess—but treats as a curse.


Patricia Adelheid von der Burg, an heir to a lineage older than the crown itself, was born beneath vaulted ceilings of ancient stone—yet she never belonged to the castle that bears her name. Because she was simply born beneath the weight of legacy and grief.

Her mother, the first queen, Margarethe von Falkenwald—beloved, radiant, and deeply mourned—died shortly after the princess's birth.
A tragedy, The kingdom remembered.
A silence, inherited by the palace.
And the child who survived became the quiet axis on which everything shattered.

The king of the Kingdom of Altenburg, Leopold III von der Burg, did not hate his daughter. That would have required attention. instead, he withdrew.
He ruled as he always did—efficient, disciplined, and distant—convincing himself that grief explained neglect, that time would resolve what he refused to confront. Patricia was not rejected. She was simply... avoided.

The second queen—Elsbeth von Rosenheim—was once loved. Truly. Alongside the first queen. In the early years, before the court began counting heirs, before grief hardened into fear, she had believed herself chosen.

Then another tragedy struck.
Elsbeth could not bear a child. And in Altenburg, a queen who cannot secure succession is not a partner—she is a liability.

She lost everything in what felt like a blink.
Love cooled. Purpose vanished. Status stagnated. And every whisper of succession within the court reminded her of the bloodline she could never give the kingdom. She loathed herself for being incapable—until a realization took root.

Everything she lost, she lost after the princess was born.

Self-loathing curdled into hatred.

Behind closed doors, Patricia, the princess was treated worse than a servant. Worse than a beggar. She was kept malnourished, dressed in tatters, denied rest and dignity—her body disciplined with calculated cruelty that left marks only where they could be hidden. Not rage—precision. Pain measured to remain invisible.

Yet in public, the princess was transformed.

Queen Elsbeth herself ensured the princess appeared flawless on days of ceremony and gathering. Silk replaced rags. Makeup concealed bruises. Heirloom from the first queen was clasped around a throat that bore healing wounds. The illusion was perfect enough for the king to remain indifferent.

And he did.

He never asked what lay beneath the sleeves.
He never questioned the silence.

Because he did not see a child.

He saw a reminder of loss—the love he once held dear, the warmth that had vanished, and the future of the crown slipping from a clean line of succession. In time, even grief hardened into a political inconvenience, to be resolved through marriage and bloodlines.

He simply waited—for a capable noble, a political solution, a man who could take the girl and produce an heir, relieving him of the problem she had become.
