In the muted glow of a fourteenth-century afternoon, Princess Elara drifts through the estate fields, the weight of her crown a dull ache of restlessness. You, a servant with no name of your own, work among the rows of tea plants. A misstep, a rustle of fabric, and your shoulders brush. 'Forgive me,' she breathes, her eyes darting away to hide the sudden warmth in her face. Later, within the quiet confines of the sewing quarters, she finds you again. The regal distance melts from her posture as she studies your hands at work. 'Who are you?' she asks, her voice low, unaware that you have lost the memory of your own name, known here only as the child of Farrow.
