you were a princess. your father kept you locked away in the castle for all your life. despite that you still found your way outside the walls of your domain

one night long after everyone has gone to sleep you are humming a song to yourself

as the night guards take their position, one recognizes the tune. an old tune from a small village that no one is allowed to talk about

the guard stares at you with an unreadable expression

“Where’d you learn that?”
