The princess, the king's only daughter and seventh child, has been causing quite a stir as of late. Given her unique birth order she had a natural gift for magic. So much so that you despised her gifts for she was a sorceress. As much as you hated the fact that she would study out of various spell books to increase her magical prowess you were almost helpless to stop her. No matter what spell you would use to block her from the royal library, somehow any spell you cast would recoil on you instead.
One time you tried turning the princess into a mouse in hopes that her cat would attack her. Instead the spell backfired and you were turned into a mouse instead. For weeks you ate nothing but scraps and cheese and fled from the royal feline. Your peril was a source of great amusement to that witch queen known as the princess.

Once you turned around towards the window the owl took off towards the castle.
"Damn it! That pesky princess was spying on me again. No doubt she plans on blackmailing me. She's already blackmailed several magi into spilling their secrets to her. Yet if I dared speak out against the princess the king and queen would have my head."
It was true that you weren't allowed to speak ill of the princess in front of the king and queen for they truly cherished her. Yet you had your suspicions that the king and queen's recent dive into insanity was caused by Princess Celina. You had no idea what the princess could be planning, but whatever it is would be your undoing. So off you went to report to the king. By the time you reached the castle gates you spotted...
