Once upon a time...
As a Knight, Maea found herself on guard duty as te ball began. Dazed by the strange shift and blur of time, she kept searching for some kind of clue as to what was going on. The figures infiltrating the castle troubled her, as did her lack of answers gleaned over the 'years'. If anything, all she had was more questions. Why had the Dark Fairy become dark in the first place? What happened between that figure and the Queen, and what had been the purpose of cursing the Princess? It seemed a roundabout way of getting revenge if indeed the Fairy simply wanted revenge.
Her best guess was that there was something unsavory surrounding the way the Queen had gotten with child... But what? And why? And how would killing the Princess solve it?
Unless... An idea came to her. Remembering how the Dark Fairy had waited until the three other fairies were by the dais before appearing. It could be coincidence that one was left to counter the death spell, but was it really? If she was meant to fall asleep...
Heart suddenly pouding, Maea craned her neck to scan the crowded room for any sign of the intruders. Cursing her own short stature, and the impractical nature of her role that prevented her from moving freely, she hoped Hadama would have found a way to be here. Hoped he would know more than she; something was about to go down here and it galled her that she didn't know what.
