It all began with a harmless lie.

Update: A very big thanks to Sherbet is owed from me. I thanked him already, I think. However, it doesn’t hurt to really make sure that it's stated in this description of my story-game as well. He proofread so much and found the many, upon many typos that were littered in the game. Unfortunately, this is still something that was written by me. So there might still linger some weird prose and maybe even the odd typo. Not because of any fault of Sherbet's, because the proofreading was immaculate, imo. Despite that, I hope the experience is one that is enjoyable/entertaining at the end of the day. Thanks!

Author Notes:

This story is a contest entry for EndMaster's prompt contest. It shares the same world as Foolish Princess and might even follow many similar story beats. However this can be experienced in the vein of a standalone entry. None of the characters are shared and no mention of any events or characters in Foolish Princess is made. Matter of fact, this takes place many years before Foolish Princess chronologically.

Oh, be advised that this story tackles themes such as murder and genocide, crusading times and such. 

Family must die. With a kingdom in shambles, and a crown too heavy in the weight of both responsibility and sin, someone must acquiesce the throne. But what can one princess do?

Update: Taking ninjapitka's very helpful and wonderful comment in mind, I've went back to this story to iron out many of the typos that were present in the first publishing. So I want to thank him for basically allowing me to bring a hopefully improved story-game here for you all to experience. However, there still might be some that are present. If so, feel free to point them out in a comment or message me directly if you feel the want/need. In any case, I hope any potential enjoyment isn't too badly affected, and that this is something that can be found fun in some capacity. Thank you to ninjapitka again, and whoever reads this.

Update #2: The story-game is in the progress of being proofread and fixed up a bit. A special thank you to Tim36D for sitting down and giving me a list to follow for these corrections. 

Author Notes:

This story is a contest entry for EndMaster's Dark Fantasy Edge lord contest 2. I wouldn’t call the protagonist in this instance an edgelord, but the story does have some rather dark themes to say the least.

Foolish Princess has three endings that you can receive. There's one that is honesty pretty normal. One that can be considered the 'bad' ending. And there's a 'true' ending that can be reached as well. 

I hope you all enjoy it. 

People that try to pass off AI writing as their own on a writing site should be chemically castrated.

Well, literature is art, and the best ingredient is the human soul to season up said art.

Welcome to CYS. There are stories to read and writers that appreciate those that read them and even go the extra proverbial miles to comment.

And you can also write too.

I hope you don't use it for any writing!

I wanna smash ya kneecaps!

And to think her last post was directed to me.

Sherbet as always shows off his excellent marksmanship. If that weapon is ranged and gets replaced by a new implement in its place.

My current pfp is from a gacha game that I haven't played since I didn't get the character I wanted from pulls in the first banner. And I have better sense than to get sucked into gacha bullshit and start spending thousands of real life dollars for shiny new anime waifus or husbandos to play with in a game. It's actually uninstalled and somewhere in my playstation's digital libary somewhere. Not a single cent spent on it. 

Tldr.

But for my current pfp. Even though she comes from a bullshit Chinese made gacha game, Belle's design is still cool. 

Again, I haven't done anything to be deserving of being anyone's idol on here. I partly think you're trolling, you know?

If anything, you should idolize mizal. She's more idol worthy than me.

You should really read her advice. It'll make you a better writer, and maybe even a better person, hmmm? I think you have a review you have to do or something, by the way.

Hmmm. Well, it seems you can handle insults.

I think you should stay. If you can't write a story-game, at least reading story-games, rating them, and leaving even a comment that's not even long enough to be featured still goes a long way.

I'm also a flaky college student after all. But I can manage that... sometimes..

My story? I'm still working on it...

I don't want to be the idol of a retard. Take me off your page with your cringe theme that you thought up for me too.

Never liked you. And I hope you're banned too. 

Just leave already you gigantic crybaby, whining, useless homo faggot.
