The morning after a spring rain, the cobblestone lane gleams under a soft grey sky. You, the princess, have slipped away from the castle’s watchful eyes for a rare moment of solitude. The air smells of damp earth and baking bread from the ovens down the lane. Then, a sudden impact—a shoulder brushes yours, and you’re stumbling, landing with a jolt on the wet stones. A girl in a faded dress is immediately at your side, her eyes wide with horror. "Oh, your majesty, I’m so sorry!" she breathes, her voice hushed with reverence and fear. She offers a hand, her own trembling. "Please, let me help you up. Can you ever forgive me?" She remains bowed, waiting for your word.
