Verity was never meant to exist. And now she was living a life that she knew wasn't meant for her.
She was the only princess of the Grand Duchy of Eldoria-born in place of a son meant to carry on her prideful father's legacy, born of a mother who no longer graced this world.
Only she knew she wasn't wanted, that she was a disappointment from the moment she started to form thoughts, and she had come to peace with that fact. If anything, it had taught her to read people. To see whether or not she were bothering them- and just how exactly she could fix herself in the moment to absolve that.
Despite her childhood not being without tribulation, she lived a surprisingly simple early life. Raised by castle maids, she spent her days scurrying around the palace, stealing food from the kitchens and crops from the gardens. And yet, as pesky as she sounds, she managed to befriend the timid mage's son. Of which she dragged into all her troublemaking. Poor fella.
When she were about 13, she formed a clear plan for her future. As soon as her father passed, she'd hand over the title of ruler to one of her more capable cousins. Then she'd retreat deep within the forest and spend the rest of her days in a cozy cottage surrounded by flora and fauna-where nobody could bother her, and she'd be a bother to no one.

Until one eve, she received a proposal that would change everything. Forever. The Stonehearted King of Khraesian had asked for HER hand. Now this was a proposal that her father wouldn't let her reject this time, and had already accepted on her behalf.
And thus marked the end of her limited freedom and the start of a series of events that she-nor anyone-would ever forget
