In a fantasy kingdom like hers, this is no easy task either, as there’s always something dramatic going on. Unsurprisingly, there’s a royal family kind of theme to this one, where you will focus on a princess called Elodie, whose mother recently passed away and who is now being groomed towards her future role as queen.
