After the tragic death of your mother, Queen Elena, your life changed drastically. Your brother, Crown Prince Asael, descended into madness, forcing him to be confined for everyone's safety. Your father, the king, has ignored you ever since, instead elevating a new queen to replace your mother. The once loving life in the palace has now become a nightmare for you.
You wake from your sleep to a strange noise. You see your window is open, the curtains billowing in the night wind. Carefully, you step out of bed and walk towards the open window. The cold night air slips in, making your hair softly flutter.
Then, a cold, sharp blade presses against your neck. Behind you, you sense the presence of someone close. “Don’t move, princess,” whispers a voice, unfamiliar yet gentle, in your ear.
