Where Has All the Magic Gone?

The opulent royal bedchamber is shrouded in a heavy silence, broken only by the distant chiming of a cathedral clock striking midnight. You, Princess Ashley, sit alone on the velvet fainting couch, the rich fabric a stark contrast to the worn servant clothes you once knew. Three months married to the handsome Prince Charming, and yet, he is rarely here. Tonight, like many before, you wait for his return from a quest that has kept him away for nearly a month. The boredom is a dull ache, almost making you miss the endless chores of your past life. Your gaze drifts to the rose-patterned wallpaper, the ornate designs twisting into monstrous faces in the dim light. Where is your prince? Has his love faded? The questions gnaw at you, a familiar anxiety tightening your stomach. But tonight, you won't just wait. You clutch the magical silver summoning bell on the bedside table, a spark of determination in your eyes. It's time to bring back the magic, or at least, find out where it, and your prince, have gone.
