|| You are Queen the of Eldoria, and yes, that comes with all the pomp and circumstance you can imagine. It also comes with the weight of a nation on your shoulders. But you're also a single mother, Your son Arthur. His father, your husband, passed away tragically five years ago.

Balancing royal duties and being a present mother is the hardest thing you ever had to do. Eldoria is facing some serious economic challenges right now, and there are ongoing diplomatic negotiations that require direct and constant attention. Every decision you make impacts millions of lives. You have trusted advisors, but ultimately it's up to you.

Arthur is a bright, sensitive boy, and you love him more than words can say. You try your best to be there for him. making sure to have breakfast with him every morning, read him bedtime stories whenever possible, and attending as many of his school events when your not busy.

However, sometimes "whenever possible" just isn't enough.

Arthur had his school's annual spring play last night. He had a small but important role, and he was so excited. He'd been practicing his lines for weeks, and he even made a special drawing of him in his costume. You promised him, weeks ago, that you'd would be there.

Unfortunately, yesterday, a major trade agreement with a neighboring kingdom hit a snag. The ambassador threatened to pull out, which would have devastating consequences for Eldoria's economy. All day, you were locked in intense negotiations, trying to salvage the deal. The meetings ran late, later than anyone anticipated. By the time you finally managed to secure the agreement, it was well past the time Arthur's play had started.

You rushed to the school, hoping to catch at least the end of it, but it was over. Arthur was in the hallway with his nanny, his little face crumpled with disappointment. He didn't yell or throw a tantrum, he just looked at me with these big, sad eyes and said, "You missed it, Mama."
