Princess Marina Klocwell (Clock-vell) is an only child. her father was king. when he found out that she would be his only offspring, he decided to change the law so that Marina could become queen, and then king if she chooses not to marry. this was not taken well by others. after her father dies Marina becomes queen and king. she rules with an iron fist and takes orders from nobody. Rudolf knows nothing of this. but when his uncle summons him to the dungeon, his life, he realizes, will never be the same.
