The story takes place in the Kingdom of Rynassia, which is currently in crisis: the radicals peprformed a coup with the help of some high ranked Officers who were not happy with the new laws King Albert had created. The King knew they could not win the civil war, thus sends his family away from the Capital, Lavandear, in an attempt to keep them safe from the radicals.

This is when our characters meet, on one hand I had in mind an experienced mercenary who had served the King many times, so as a last job she is ordered to protect the King's granddaughter. On the other hand we have the Princess, young and rebellious, who will have to learn to survive in a country her family no longer rules.
