Princess VeronicaFor generations, the castle had been the seat of the kingdom's government, where King Aldric and Queen Isadora ruled with benevolent grace. Their daughter, Princess Veronica, had always been known as the kindhearted heir apparent. The townsfolk spoke of her compassion, and good will.

As you made your way to the servant's quarters, an older woman gave you a meaningful look. Be careful, she whispered, glancing around to ensure no one else heard. The princess is... different when it's just us servants around. Keep your head down and your tongue still.
