She didn't even have the time to mourn. Her parents died while they were in the middle of yet another war; they needed someone to take charge, and right away. She had never been good at taking charge, especially when it came to war. The princess could only get advice from people she trusted knew what they were talking about; people experienced in different areas. But that's only a portion of the problem.

Her parents seemed to know that, if anything happened, she would have trouble keeping everything straight. So she'd need someone to help her lead. Before they died, they sent for a prince, one experienced enough in war he'd be able to help, and they had hoped he would be a suitor for her. She didn't find out until afterwards, so there was nothing she could do about it. But there is another factor that makes this problem much worse.

Months before her parents had died, a thief was caught trying to steal from the castle. The original sentence was to be stuck in a dungeon, but the princess found it as a way to be helpful for the war; considering he had only been caught because he had someone along that had wanted to help, and only cause trouble for him. She spared him that, but instead, he has to sneak into the enemy kingdoms to gather information for her. At first, she would only report back that information to her parents, but, when they died, she had to figure out how to apply it to whatever she could do about it.

And the factor that makes it worse? She knows the thief likes her, and that he knows she knows. She acts coldly towards him, trying to make sure he knows the only reason she keeps him around is for information; besides, she practically spared his life, he owed her. But that's only a front, and the thief has only a suspicion about it, but she does like him, too.

Where this becomes a bigger problem? The last person from royalty to fall for someone that wasn't from the same class was no longer considered alive to any of the rest of her family; the traditions that royalty have to live up to would never allow it. She doesn't want to be forced to leave; she has a younger sister that she doesn't believe is ready for any of this, and that she needs to be there for her. Which leads her to a very hard choice; the thief she likes so much...and leave her sister to deal with things on her own, or the prince she barely even knows...and leave her own happiness behind?


You can be the thief, the prince, any of the friends that the princess consults, or anyone from another kingdom planning to attack. Any other characters are welcome, provided they will go along well enough with the story.
(The thief and prince have been taken; still looking for other people for her to consult.(Though the prince seems to have disappeared, and my need to be replaced, depending o whether or not he comes back.))
