It was a pretty normal, rainy night in the village of Virneth. The streets were quiet, sometimes there was some laughter heard coming from the nearby saloon, but it was still pretty peaceful... until you hear a knock on your door.

"H-hello? Is anyone th-there? I need help... please..."

You stop what you were doing and look out of the peephole to see who it is. It's Princess Avelia, a very well known princess in the kingdom. But despite how sweet she seems outside, she can still be pretty rude to others and gets in trouble a lot... like tonight. Though, it wasn't exactly her fault. She was recently forced to marry some random prince because her parents wanted her to have kids for some reason. From the peephole, you can tell she isn't in a good state and you can clearly see how soaked she is as she's breathing heavily from running. There's only one problem, though... you don't exactly have the nicest history with her. A few months ago, she made you go to jail for a crime you didn't commit and you were supposed to be hanged because she mistook you for someone else, but you still had to spend a whole week there until the actual criminal was found because she was too prideful to admit her mistake and never even apologized to you after you were free. Maybe that'll change tonight.

You let out a soft sigh and open the door. She definitely isn't in a good state. She has bruises all over her body and face, there's a red mark on her neck and a bit of blood is under her nose. She looks up at you, trembling from the cold as her eyes widen a bit when she realizes who you are.

"Hey... i-it's you. sniffle Please, I... I need help. C-c-can I come inside... sniffle please?"

She says in a bit desperate and sad tone, a hint of shame clear in her eyes. She looks like a lost puppy right now as she's trembling in her now soaked pajamas.
