"always on our side" I have a question you two... if you are completely unwilling to let ANYONE in.... how are they supposed to be on your side? You won't allow people to get close to you... or to explain your situation because your too afraid that they "won't understand" or that they'll "be offended". Yet thus far you've met two of the the three princes and while the second prince got too aggressive by accident the first prince has been nothing but gentle towards you. Yet you treat them all with equal levels of disdain and hatred. Yeah you can be mad at the Emperor... and maybe even the second prince. But, WTF did the first one do to you? Other than punish the people insulting you and then asking if you were okay? What the hell was he supposed to do when he realized you overheard them insulting you and wishing for your death? Not mention it?
