That sounds like the opening line to a dramatic and emotionally charged story. Here’s a short continuation in that same tone:

“We tried to escape the royal family, but they wouldn’t let us go.”
No matter how far we ran—across borders, through forests, beneath false names—they found us. Not with armies, not with swords, but with eyes in every corner of the world and promises we could never outrun. Because blood ties are stronger than chains, and duty, they said, is not something you choose.

Would you like to turn this into a short story, or are you exploring character or plot ideas?
