In the 18th century, a sixteen-year-old princess lives in a kingdom where a grand castle stands at the center of a bustling village, towering over the people her family rules. Despite constant training from her parents and tutors, she refuses to act proper or professional, often sneaking out of the castle to wander the streets and markets below. During one of her escapes, she meets an eighteen-year-old boy from the village. Their growing connection is strictly forbidden, as any relationship between royalty and a villager could cause scandal and unrest among the kingdom. As her parents push her harder to behave and prepare for the responsibilities and arranged future expected of her, she must choose between obeying her role or risking everything for a relationship she is never supposed to have. The villiage people are used to seeing her out and about and love it.
