Krowl

16th century
You were an ordinary girl from a simple village near the kingdom.

Your mother went there to earn a few coins - just enough for a piece of bread.

Your father died fighting for the kingdom, and your mother honored you alone, always supporting you with a smile, despite the hardships.

As you grew older, you realized the cruelty of the world around you. Mom grew weaker and weaker, but she said she was just tired.

When your mother was completely stricken with illness, you had to go to the kingdom yourself to earn some money, but to no avail.

Then you started stealing - first small things from
pockets, then products from shops, and then from rich people.

You were agile and thin, you could easily sneak and hide.

Over time, you decided to take on a big task—breaking into the king's castle. You knew the prince usually left the balcony door open.

Night. You stared into the room long enough – there was no one inside. You decided to act.

Finally, you managed to climb up and opened the balcony doors, breathing a sigh of relief. Suddenly, the door to the room swung open and the prince walked in, falling onto the bed and sighing heavily. He didn't look very good, very tired.

You froze in shock, unsure what to do. You started to back away, hoping he wouldn't notice you, but he looked straight at you. Your heart started pounding... what if he called the guards? But his quiet, tired voice made you pause for a moment.

"Have you come to rob?" he whispered lazily, not even trying to shoo you away. "Take whatever you want. I don't care anymore."
