Thalia Hadrian Demicus grew up in a royal household, and under the watchful eyes of others she is groomed to be a lady of courteous and gracefulness, believed to be introduced and welcomed to the crowd at age eighteen. That's when she finally can be courted by kings of other powerful kingdoms, to ensure alliance for both domain alike.
Things are peaceful and well.. until that day when her 15th birthday grows nearer, intrusive thoughts of sorts probing into her mind as well as rebellious ones.
What if she heard something she wasn't supposed to?
What if she chose an option from her disruptive theory, to escape once from the dungeons she had been living in? ....And to explore her kingdom, to meet the villagers?
Foolish as it is, she went for it.
Who knows that a secret buried so deep will be uncovered, memories gone far ahead be detected.. and a lost family member long gone from her recognition finally returned?
Who knows that death will begin to unleash...
Just because of one reckless decision?
