Royal Perfection

We've all heard of royalty, right?

The bloodline that flows from generation to generation -- each younger one expected to uphold tradition and maintain the good rule of the family.

And princesses -- daughters of emperors, kings, czars -- by definition, are supposed to be good-natured and beautiful, awaiting the day they are to be wed to a wealthy prince who could take care of them and their subjects.

But not all princesses are the damsels in distress, waiting for their prince. Not all of them are helpless and vain. A good number of them know how to fight, how to defend themselves and their kingdoms. Some are incredibly intelligent, filled with wit and clever remarks, observant to all around them.

And yet, you have those that harbor dark thoughts. Those that have come to absolutely hate their title, and dread taking the throne.

What if a princess, one seemingly innocent and obedient, quiet and soft-spoken, turns out to be a ninja assassin? What if she finds a hint of romance during one of her dark nights of killing? What if her family finds out?
