Incoming text from the King: This is absolutely preposterous. You will bring yourself back to the castle this instant.
Me: Dad, I have to live. If I am to rule the whole damn kingdom how do I do that if I have never even been outside of it?
The King: You are the sole heir to the thrown, what are you expecting to find out there that you can’t find in here? Do you know how dangerous it is out … know how dangerous it is out there?
Me: No, but I intend to find out.
I have been sheltered and hidden away from the people from an early age, I was supposed to becoming a ruler but I had no idea how to fend for myself. I have to prove to myself and to my family that I am more than just royalty, more than just next in line for the throne. Besides, no one has to know who I really am. I can trick them all.
