In the beautiful kingdom of Knightenburg, there lived a king and queen who had no children.They were very sad , so it was no surprise that when a witch visited the kingdom, they foolishly accepted her offer of giving them a daughter in exchange for a favor.

A few years later, when the princess was 15 years old, the witch came back to collect what the king and queen owed her, which by that time she had finally thought of something she wanted....

You see, she needed an important ingredient to complete her latest potion...

ROYAL BLOOD!

It was a potion to become very powerful, and that , the witch decided, would be what she asked for. So she set off for the long journey to the palace.

Meanwhile, the royal family was having a party to celebrate princess Alexa's birthday.

Even then, the princess was interested in sword-fighting and dragon -slaying.

She didn't like to wear poofy dresses or fancy make up or jewelery. She just wasn't interested.
