I managed to run away from the castle and hide deep within the woods, relishing the peaceful silence and the company of the gentle animals. I am tired of being the princess, to be controlled and constricted by the rules of royalty.

I was sitting on a log while petting a small rabbit, a small smile of content evident in my face.

A snap of a twig catches my attention as I turn to look at the culprit.

A female knight? What is she doing here? Has she come to take me back to the castle?
