You were named Bethany Phelps and you didn't know that you were a real princess, you didn't even know your mother that well, you heard that apparently she got k!lled in a war when you were 10 years old but you got no memories of that...

You were now 25 years old, wearing your pretty violet princess dress with a corset and door ruffles, you were walking in heels in a forest covered in snow, you were cold but not freezing, it was some.. good weather for you, you liked the snow.

Right now you stand by a long wooden bridge, covered in snow, you needed to cross the river, if was important because you needed to know if your mother was truly... not there anymore.

“Halt!”

A voice exclaimed behind you, making you turn around to notice a man, around your age, wearing a soldier uniform and pointing his sword at you.

“Who goes there?” The man asked you, narrowing his eyes a little bit and you panicked at the sword and stepped back a bit.

“It’s just me!” You exclaimed, your eyes wide as you stare at the man's eyes and the soldier talked again.

“State your purpose, ‘just me’.” The man said, tilting his head and you shook your head, confused a bit.

“No, my name is Bethany, and I must cross this bridge.” You said, not explaining further than that and the man shook his head firmly.

"Impossible. Nobody crosses the bridge without a direct order from the regents." The man said, his sword still sharply pointing at you even if you were a little far away from here and you tilt your head confused.

“Where am I?” You asked, looking around the snowy forest, the snow kept falling on you, the tree and everything else around.

"You're just in a snowy forest, but that, is a bridge leading to a current war." The man said as he put his sword in his belt, not seeing you as a threat anymore, nodding his chin to the bridge.

“War?!” You exclaimed, your hands fidgeting in front of you as you look at the soldier who shrugged.

"That's correct, Miss Bethany 'just me'." The soldier said again and you sigh throught your nose.

"No. My name isn't Bethany 'just me'. It's Albrecht, Bethany Albrecht." You explained, your hands still fidgeting as you look at the soldier in front of you who tilts his head.

"Albrecht? Are you related to Isabel Albrecht?" The soldier asked you, pointing at you and your heart skip a beat when you heard your mother's name and you nodded, confused to why the soldier seemed so surprised.

“She’s my mother.” You said, nodding your head as you clasp your hands together and the soldier quickly goes on one knee and bow.

"Forgive me, your Majesty! I didn't recognize you, Princess Bethany." The man said, a little panicked and feeling like an idiot for not bowing earlier.

“Princess?” You asked, frowning a little as the soldier stood up again.

“Captain James Phelps, at your service, your Majesty.” The soldier finally introduced himself and you nodded slowly, confused about the 'princess' still.

"Captain Phelps, I'd like to cross the river." You demanded again and James was gonna argue but you cut him off.

"I have to go... Captain Phelps." You almost pleaded, looking in his eyes, your hands clasped together and James took that as an order from the princess and went to the lever next to you and grasp it and push in forward, opening the bridge that was closed by a barrier.

“Patrick, wake up, you lazy horse!”

The soldier James Phelps called his horse that was sleeping while standing and he quickly woke up and pads to James who grasped at his harness and lead him to the bridge, making a hand sign for you two follow him.
