Once upon a time, there was a beautiful kingdom with a cursed princess.

The curse could only be broken with the princess's true love.

Of fucking curse. Cue excessive eye rolling.

My kingdom has been cursed for eight years, trapped within a magical border, with no contact from anyone outside of Sweet Briar. The stagnation is affecting our crops and cattle. We are reaching a breaking point in this curse. Lords from each of my villages have presented a new edict, the True Love Edict. Up to ten men will come live in the castle with me in hopes of discovering who my true love is. I've grown quite accustomed to being alone and am perfectly happy to continue that. Hell, my people need the curse to break. Here's to hoping my true love shows up soon.
