You have endured through an extreme emotional trauma and did not recover fully.  The local guards had no choice but to admit you to a local asylum for the insane.  There you learned there are many others that truly belong there, while you do not.  You are just taking longer than others to recover from your traumatic past.

One night you concocted a plan to escape, clubbed a guard over the head, stole his uniform, and used the cover of several other escaping inmates to hide your escape.  You have been on the run ever since.  You have taken on a completely alter-ego, and now live among the free people of the kingdom.  Free until the local guards discover who you are and return you to the asylum.
