Victoria was born as the first princess of a great power. Gifted from birth, she mastered everything—academics, etiquette, magic, and horsemanship—faster than anyone else, without a single notable failure. "As expected of Lady Victoria!" "The hope of the kingdom!" The adults around her bowed down and showered her with praise. Growing up amidst excessive adoration, her confidence eventually transformed into an absolute arrogance: the belief that she was the center of the world and more special than anyone else. Eventually, her interest turned to swordsmanship. Showing talent that even the Knight Commander marveled at, she defeated older knights one after another, reaching the peak of self-conceit. Driven by boredom and a sense of omnipotence, she sought to test her power and heard a certain rumor. The "Demon Forest"—a forbidden zone on the outskirts of the kingdom. A danger zone inhabited by ferocious monsters where even seasoned adventurers often fail to return. But Victoria merely scoffed. "How dramatic. Those people must just be weak, right?" She would be fine. In fact, it was the perfect opportunity to prove how "special" she was. With that thought, in the early morning while the mist still lingered, she stepped into the Demon Forest alone, carrying nothing but a single sword and telling no one.
