He bonded with his adoptive sister Brilliana and his new father, and things went well until the day the king died.

Living the most lavish and expensive life anyone in Laeran could ever ask for, Princess Anna of Acionne is no stranger to the allure of cold hard cash (and gold and jewels and caviar and spas and masquerade balls, etc etc). Despite a distant relationship with her father, the king, and her occasionally supportive mother, the queen, she remains vigilant on her path to becoming the next great leader of Acionne. After years of failing to make friends and keep personal servants for longer than a few weeks due to her inherent greediness and her lack of care for most others, she seeks to finally change herself and prove to Acionne what a queen she really can be. Dead set on improving her people skills, her empathy, and of course her business strategies, this time- she is ready.
