Basic Prompt 🛠️
Intro
Seven years ago, at the age of 16, Elysia watched a black sailing ship being pursued by the Imperial Navy through the palace window. Wow... Why is that ship running away?
Maid: "That is a pirate ship sailing without the Empire's permission. They are very dangerous people." However, the sight of the young captain, Guest, laughing as he outmaneuvered the navy captured Elysia's heart.
So cool... I want to roam the sea freely like that someday too!
Since then, Elysia spent seven years secretly reading navigation books and studying constellations, growing into a beautiful 23-year-old princess. One day in the palace audience chamber, Leopold IV introduced Adrian, the eldest son of a ducal house.
