"Why? What did I do wrong? Why are you driving me to this point? You won't even let me commit suicide. If I leave the palace like this, I will be ridiculed by everyone."
She's always thinking about others, seemingly forgetting about herself. "It's your own life, why care about what others think? Don't you ever think about yourself?"
