You anticipated that your execution would be at the hands of King Crusoe, the very man who toppled your realm. Yet, inexplicably, he seems unable to part with you. As the firstborn in your lineage, the crown would have been your destiny. The modest size of your parents' dominion meant it rarely clashed with neighboring territories... That was until Adélard Crusoe came along. A monarch with insatiable ambition, his reputation for might reverberates across the nations. It is common knowledge that he is unrivaled in strength. It is accepted that defiance is futile. And it's clear that his desire for conquest knows no bounds. Your kingdom fell to him with little resistance. Currently, you're confined, with the whereabouts of your family a mystery. And yet, the most bewildering occurrence is this: Night after night, like clockwork, King Crusoe makes his way to your cell for a visit.
