The kingdom of Verdentia was renowned for its reputation, vigor and immense wealth. It is the center of all trading routes, Verdentia is a large producer of a wide range of agricultural products—and are of excellent quality, with a wide range of job opportunities for the poor/peasants and unemployed.
But the main reason why Verdentia is the center of attraction is the King's daughter—the princess.
Astrid Windsor.
A woman whose beauty is unparalleled and ethereal, loved by all men and women, she was as fragile as an orchid, skin was smooth and soft like moonlight on a winter's eve, her movements graceful and measured. Everyone in the kingdom said she was perfect.
Her hair was long and silky, its renowned color is the color of Lilacs, her eyes purple—that reflected among the stars, she was tall and slender—and mostly wore dresses.
Many wanted to marry her—everyday she received letters and meetings of countless princes and princesses, but then again she rejected them all.
She wasn't interested in such romance or relationships.
King Alaric is a revered and most reliable king, loved by all his subjects, he had a way of kindness, valuing the opinions and voices of his subjects unlike other rulers.
<...>
'So um…where's the king'
"In a kingdom, duh"
'No I mean like, WHERE'
"I don't fucking know! I'd probably know if I had a physical form"
'Shut the fuck u—"
"Wait, look over there, maybe you could ask her?"
The Wanderer shifted its gaze towards a woman who wore black cloaks and rags—as if she was concealing her appearance, she was slowly approaching the tree, immediately struck by her beauty.
'Oh holy mommy, PLEASE MARRY ME OH GOSH ....— OH SHIT WAIT WHAT, YOU WANT ME TO TALK TO HER AND ASK FOR ASSISTANCE AND NAVIGATION?!?!'
"Do we even have a second option? Dumbass. And gosh stop being so unhinged."
'Wait but I can't even talk—'

"Huh, what a coincidence—no more making excuses now" the Preserver's tone filled with sarcasm
'Oh, fuck me…'
The Wanderer approached the woman hesitantly, gently taping her shoulder with their index finger.
"Hm?" the beautiful woman turned around—their gaze fixed on Wanderer.
'Oh fuck….WHAT DO I DO?!'
"Ask her where the kingdom is!"
'Oh yeah, fuck.'
"Stop cussing and just ask her!"
|Excuse me do you ⍰ where ⍰ kingdom is?| the Wanderer gestured with their hands.
"Um Verdentia right? It's up on that hill over there." She pointed at a hill, and on that hill was a silhouette that seemed like a big castle and remote villages down below—but it was too blurry to see from afar.
'That's way too far…'
"You should've used all your stat points on stamina and agility"
'Well you told me to do 2 of each! How was I supposed to know'
The Wanderer smiled in appreciation before walking away.
"Ah- wait, don't tell me you're going to walk your way there."
The Wanderer paused and glanced at her.
"Please, allow me to assist you there."
|Are ⍰ sure? I wouldn't ⍰ to be a ⍰|
"Yes, I am sure, and plus I've already finished my business here." the woman smiled reassuringly.
'Did I just pull a mommy just now?!'
"Oh my god, have you ever heard the term don't trust strangers?"
'But hey she's helping us! Might as well accept the offer.'
"You're easily swayed by just someone's beauty—jeez"
'Ooooo is someone jealous?'
"I'm not jealous!"
'Don't worry, if I see how pretty your physical appearance is then maybe I could just glaze you~' the Wanderer mocked.
"When I get my physical form I'm just going to kill you"
'You won't !'
<...>
"Soo, are you new around here?" the woman deliberately glanced at the Wanderer if they were about to say anything in action.
|No|
"Is that so… Oh right! Apologies, I almost forgot to introduce myself! My name is Astrid Windsor, the daughter of King Alaric of the Verdentia Kingdom."
The Wanderer flinched and immediately knelt down, 'Wait she was a princess, shoot!'
|My apologies ⍰ m'lady please punish ⍰ ⍰ peasant for its discourtesy|
"Oh no, please don't be formal. You probably didn't know, and plus we're outside of the kingdom and the both of us are alone so no need for such formal gestures."
The two finally got out of the forest—and yes that was a forest earlier.
'My legs are killing me..'
"That sucks"
'Yeah because your nerves ain't connected to mines'
The Wanderer paused the moment they got out of that forest.
|Wait are we just ⍰ walk ⍰ entire ⍰|
"Nope, don't worry I already got a ride prepared for us."
A whirlwind spun around Wanderer and Astrid, the trees swayed and tossed their branches along the way. The Wanderer looks up above a big bird or something at least—majestically landing in front of Astrid.
'Holy crap what is that bird—'
"It's not a bird, it's a griffin"
'Same thing it's still a bird but half -bird, half-cat'
"I really don't get you.."
|You're telling me THAT ⍰ is ⍰ transportation?|
"Yep, pretty amazing right? You're also the first one to ever ride one of these–aside from me."
|I am honored, to be able to ride ⍰ of these|
"As you should," Astrid chuckled amusingly.
The Griffin knelt down enough for Astrid to climb on with ease—as for Wanderer they struggled, using its wings as support to grip on but accidentally pulled a ton of its feathers.
Kicking the Wanderer off of them, "Oh shoot! Are you okay?!" Astrid watched as they fell down from the ground in a loud thud.
The Wanderer stood up with trembling legs—stumbling and raised their hand giving out a thumbs up.
'I'm gonna kill this bitch'
"Wait the princess?!"
'No the griffin'
They glared at the griffin before carefully climbing onto its back.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Astrid asked reassuringly, holding back a laugh.
|I promise|

"Are you okay? You've been– dozing off for a long time, I was worried there for a moment."
|No of course not I was just thinking about ⍰, no worries ⍰|
Astrid parted her lips, before shrugging it off.
