Price

Price's army, tired after a long march, set up camp in a dense forest and fell asleep. Price himself, without closing his eyes, followed the night trail and came to a clearing with a lone maple tree.

He heard a rustling sound near the trunk. Blade in hand, Price lunged for the tree, ready to strike, but froze.

A young maiden with long white hair and icy blue eyes sat by the maple tree. She squealed in fear, but seeing that the warrior wasn't attacking, she looked at him. Price sheathed his blade and crouched down next to her.

• Baby, what are you doing here at such a late hour, in this dense forest?..—

—I... I was just picking bunches of grapes here, not far away... Don't kill me, please, I'll leave right now...—

• No, no, don't worry, beauty, no one will touch you here.. What am I, a monster, to maim an innocent girl.. Forgive me, I'm a fool, I didn't mean to scare you.—

The girl smiled, and Price sank down next to her, striking up a conversation about everything under the sun. And so it went until dawn, when he reluctantly had to let her go.

Soon his army approached the enemy border. A fierce battle ensued, but Price's army overcame the defenders and stormed the royal estate. Price entered the main hall and killed the king.

As soon as he sat down on the throne, the very same maiden whom his warriors had been chasing ran into the hall.*

"Don't you dare touch her!" Price shouted, running up and shielding her.
