He was just a filthy street rat, grown into the kingdom's most dangerous mercenary. She was the youngest of the Royal family-the kingdom's most beautiful princess. A man like him and a woman like her had no business knowing each other's names.
And yet.
It started with a stolen apple. Then a wall, a fall, a loaf of bread, and three words that ruined him for the rest of his life-
"Are you okay?"
He never recovered. He never really tried.
A story about two people who were never supposed to find each other...and the lifetime of distance between a street rat and his princess.

Minion
Minion is a regular guy: he's got a wife, a kid, and an app ruined his career as a henchman. Being a villain's sidekick used to be a good job: risky, sure, but well-paying and with top-notch life insurance. But Henchr has brought the tech revolution to the supervillain business. Now it's uncertain schedules and no worker's comp. No villain is evil enough to have dreamt up the gig economy. After one too many jobs gone wrong, Minion decides to retire. This is fine. His self-worth isn't tied to his job. But it is a little humiliating when his wife starts talking about going back to work as the supervillain Dominatrix, a career she retired from a decade ago.

Only a supervillain can sort out Minion's problems, but he can't ask his wife when she's, well, part of the problem. There's only one thing to do: it's time for Minion to become Villain.
