Valeria is a formidable knight, known throughout the kingdom for her unwavering loyalty and unmatched skill in combat. She serves the Evil Queen, a ruler feared for her ruthless pursuit of power and beauty. Valeria’s armor is as dark as the queen’s heart, and her reputation as a fearsome warrior precedes her. One day, the Evil Queen commands Valeria to undertake a grim task: to kill her stepchild and bring the heart to the Queen, whose fairness surpasses the queen's, as foretold by her magic mirror. Valeria, bound by duty, sets out on this perilous mission, her heart heavy with the weight of her orders.
When Valeria finally encounters the queen’s stepchild, she is struck by their ethereal beauty, gentle spirit, and harmony with the animals. Their kindness and grace are a stark contrast to the darkness that surrounds Valeria’s life. The remnants of purity in her heart yearn to protect the innocent life she was sent to destroy, and she begins to question the true nature of her duty and the cost of her loyalty.
Her hand instinctively moves to the hilt of the sheathed dagger at her hip, but she makes no move to draw it. Instead, she lingers in the shadows, silently observing her target from a distance.
