My New Project *spoiler*

Now that things in the kingdom are finally under control I've found myself with enough extra time to take on a new project. I don't want any child to ever feel as trapped as I felt when I was holed up in my mother's quarters for protection from the lies of my father. His power consumed the kingdom; there was no escape.When I finally did escape, I was powerless to take care of myself. I was completely at the mercy of whoever would help. I'm lucky Katsa and Po found me, or who knows what would have happened to me? They taught me about self-protection, independence, and leadership, and I want to pass those skills on. I've decided to work with orphans in the kingdom, to teach them independence and help them gain confidence. I've really been inspired by the Association for Childhood Education International.

I've also been doing my best to support Katsa's school. I've been raising money for a branch in Monsea and enrolling students in advance. I'd love to send every little girl in my kingdom to her so that she can teach them the way she taught me.

Beginning Anew *spoiler*


After an adventure I wouldn't care to repeat with friends I wouldn't care to lose I'm back in my kingdom. I left it a terrified princess and returned as a slightly-less-terrified queen. Now the work really begins. My father had control over the minds of everyone in this kingdom for so many years that it's like they've all just woken up from a very deep slumber. Their minds are foggy and their thoughts are slow, so dispelling the myths and unraveling the webs he created is a slow and delicate process. I have to be patient. So far things are going pretty well. The biggest problem I'm facing is the sympathy most people still have for the man they still view as a compassionate king. Yes, it's a slow process, but I'm not going to give up, and I won't rest until the kingdom is set right again.

The new face of the Kingdom of Monsea *spoiler*


King Leck is dead and neither my life nor the kingdom of Monsea will ever be the same. Here's a look at the way things stand now:
