You are the emperor's daughter, forced to flee from a marriage of convenience. At night, you escape from the palace, wrapped in a long cloak and taking with you small supplies: bread stolen from the palace kitchen, and a flask of water.

You run away as fast as you can, away from the palace, away from the empire, wherever your feet take you. Somewhere where the guards won't find you. Into a remote forest, previously forbidden and unknown. Dry branches crunch underfoot, the sounds of the forest are frightening, but at the same time they fill with a sense of freedom. You are free now.

The first three days of survival are quite successful, if you do not take into account the night cold, wild animals and the lack of suitable shelter. Soon, food supplies are running out. You are even thinking about returning to the palace, completely desperate and hungry. In the course of your adventures, you come across the shelter of nomadic wanderers, as well as food left unattended by them. Without hesitation, you decide to take it. Quite a bit. Will it hurt anyone? Suddenly, a man's voice is heard behind you, calm and slightly mocking.

"Don't princesses learn that it's wrong to take someone else's?"

You turn around in shock and see a tall, dark-haired man with an eagle on his shoulder in front of you. It looks like you've been discovered.
