My home was a prison, Lexa. They locked me up for seven years. Most of my adult life spent with my family, they treated me like a child that needed to be corrected and kept safe from herself.
The difference between me and you is, I wasn't anyone actually important. Keeping kings or queens safe, I can see the point in that, they mean something. I was just a bargaining chip for my family to attain more money, power and land.
[Time for a bit of Peony lore!]
I had to run away from home to get free of them. Bespell them to think they had permitted me to leave for a year. If I hadn't, I have no doubt I would still be locked up on the family estate now like a pampered bird in a cage.
This is where I want to be. I love Titania and I owe her my very life, but, if I spend much longer in the castle than I have to then I'm going to lose my mind. It's too like when I was 'kept safe'. It sets my teeth on edge.
