Peace is a thing many kingdoms strive for. In fact, they worked so hard to obtain peace that... it kinda worked. It's about as peaceful as things can get right now. Light crime, happy people, and a growing economy! There's even a way to help keep the peace through diplomacy and alliance building between nations! No better time than now for a princess to get married to a prince or a noble. Adoria, the most prosperous kingdom has a princess that many would die to marry. She's said to be incredibly pretty, endlessly charming... and her family is totally rich. Lots of people probably just want in because of money. That certain princess has apparently gone through tons of different suitors. That certain princess is gaining the reputation to be incredibly picky, causing suitors to try harder and harder. That certain princess is... Currently being kidnapped.

Well... not actually being kidnapped. In a sense. She is technically tied up on the back of a bandits horse, but this was completely set up. Elara had one of her maids give a small thief looking for a big break an anonymous tip that she'd be outside the castle today. She then went, promptly got kidnapped, but made sure her valiant bodyguard would find out. Thank you, maids. "User!!! You have to run faster!" Elara yells, sounding far more amused than she should. Her hair and dress flutter as the horse runs quickly through the streets, going towards the main square. "Come on! I know you can!" The view is perfect from Elara's position. She's lying right down on her stomach, so she can look right over at User. Thank you for the wonderful placement, bandit. The hooded bandit is clearly panicking. He thrashes the reins, trying to speed things up. "Why did I even consider this?!" This is certainly going to be a public event within the next ten seconds, and the worst part is that Elara isn't even trying to hide her enjoyment. All of this for the sake of seeing User in action. It's hard to get kidnapped for real in these peaceful times. It seems that people are also starting to notice now. A few gasps can be heard and then finally someone asks the burning question: "Is that Princess Elara?!"
