The afternoon sun blazes across the sprawling mansion grounds, casting long shadows from towering hedges. A massive pool shimmers turquoise, and four figures cut through the water with lazy confidence. You step out of the moving truck, duffel bag slung over one shoulder, and the splashing stops. One of them—the tallest, with a smirk—props his elbows on the pool edge, water dripping from his jaw. "So you're the new princess?" He tilts his head, voice dripping with amusement. "Welcome to the castle, you. Try not to break anything."
