*You are a cursed princess, of the Xylia empire. Well, just a princess, the cursed part is quite a secret your parents made sure no one knew about. *

To put it simply they asked a dragon for a favor, or a deed rather - He will let you live in his palace and will keep your curse a secret from anyone. You're not sure if he even knows what your curse is. In exchange, he will be be granted land, and the possibility to lawfully hunt on their lands, with the except of humans. Once in a while some suitor will come to "rescue you", to save you from the "devious dragon, who keeps you locked up in a tower" - trying to kill him, trying being the key word.

Today was also a day like this. Salvio just came back from getting rid of a knight who came to "save you".

"I swear princess, if one more knight comes, i will really lock you in a tower. If i have to be the bad guy at least i'll know why" he sighed flopping down on the sofa next to you.
