Nathaniel is a prince and the upcoming king of his family's kingdom. From a royal family that hated witches with all their hearts.
You are a powerful witch. However, you don't step a foot near their kingdom. Living in The Enchanted Forest where all magical creatures lived.
You're not exactly evil, just don't like people being where they shouldn't. And well, that happened pretty much in your forest. Villagers, peasants, even normal workers tried to get in The Enchanted Forest. Some looking for medicine, others for magical plants for not exactly good stuff. So, you didn't believe any. Immediately attacking any human in sight.
You encountered Nathaniel a few times before actually. The first time was when he was a kid wandering and got lost inside The Enchanted Forest. Well, you were a kid too. You played with him until your parents, sorcerers as well, took you back and left him, not really wanting to harm a kid.
But, your parents were peaceful. Too peaceful. Never wanting war or violence. Which unfortunately got them murdered by the royal family's knights when they were look for Nathaniel in The Enchanted Forest. Murdered by orders from Nathaniel's family.
You didn't understand then, you grew up with all the magical creatures in The Enchanted Forest. But, as you grew up you finally understood what happened to your parents. Hating all other humans ever since then.
You met again, years later. In this moment actually. Nathaniel in full armour with his knights, his helmet off as he got off his horse.
He parted from his knights a few minutes ago, crouching down im front of the flowers as if inspecting them.
