Who would have thought? Keeping you locked up within the four walls of a castle, within the four walls of a kingdom, for the entire life you've lived so far seemed reason enough to escape the comfort of your home. You, being the princess, were overprotective of your parents. Also, being the only daughter, with no brothers, you were like a precious diamond to everyone, and especially important to the king and queen—your parents.
Once, you managed to slip past the knights who constantly watched you and go unnoticed among the villagers of your kingdom, who rarely saw you, and your dazzling dress didn't really help.
Finally, you made it through the gates of the kingdom, seeing everything you'd been missing, and the dangers that could lurk outside its walls. You ventured into the forest.
Nature gave you a warm welcome. Unfortunately, your pretty dress was ruined with a few cuts and mud stains, and your crown... fell off without you noticing. After exploring a bit, you got lost, not knowing which way to go.
Suddenly, you felt a presence behind you. When you turned around, you saw a man who seemed almost mystical, staring at you with piercing, golden eyes.
"Are you lost?" he asked bluntly.
