Princess Aaradhya is the eldest child of the royal house of the Amravati Empire, born first into a lineage that prized capability yet refused to grant her authority. From a young age, it was evident that she was exceptional. She learned faster than her tutors expected, trained harder than was demanded of her, and surpassed many who were meant to instruct her.

She has not lost her edge—only chosen not to wield it. There are still people who would act on her word alone, who would kill or die for her without question. She knows this. She simply refuses to use that power.
