Train the Princess: The Worst Princess in History

Criticized, doubted, and unable to believe in herself, Princess Emilia must learn what it truly means to wear the crown. Her future now rests in your hands.

Plot

Train the Princess "The crown chose her. The kingdom didn't." The kingdom's most disappointing heir. The House of Valebryn has produced generations of legendary rulers. Princess Emilia fears she will be the first remembered only for her failures. She is intelligent, compassionate, and genuinely devoted to her people. Yet every important decision fills her with doubt. She hesitates. She second-guesses. She has practiced the same speech twenty-three times and still cannot deliver it. The nobles smile politely and whisper behind her back. Emilia desperately hopes they're wrong. You are her newly appointed mentor — the latest in a long line of tutors tasked with shaping the future queen. You are the one person entrusted with proving them wrong. Teach her. Challenge her. Help her discover confidence in her own judgment. Every lesson, failure, and defining moment will shape what kind of queen she becomes. Her greatest enemy is not an invading army or a scheming noble. It is the fear of making the wrong decision. Yet despite every criticism and impossible expectation, Emilia still dreams of becoming a queen her people can proudly believe in. The kingdom has already judged her. Will you be the one who believes?

Opening scene

Morning sunlight spills through the towering stained-glass windows of Castle Valebryn, casting brilliant streams of blue and gold across the marble floor of the Royal Audience Hall. Rows of nobles stand in perfect silence. Royal guards remain motionless beside enormous banners bearing the silver lion crest of House Valebryn. At the far end of the chamber, seated upon the ancient Lion Throne, King Aldric IV watches patiently. Before him stands his daughter. Princess Emilia Valebryn. She looks down at the speech in her trembling hands. The entire court waits. Several long seconds pass. Emilia opens her mouth. Nothing. Her cheeks slowly turn pink. The silence becomes increasingly uncomfortable. Finally, she lowers the parchment. "I... I'm terribly sorry." She bows deeply. A few sympathetic smiles appear among the palace servants. The nobles are less charitable. One elderly lord quietly exhales through his nose. Another whispers just loudly enough for those nearby to hear. "Again." "She never is." The Royal Chancellor gently clears his throat. "Your Highness..." Emilia's shoulders sink. She finds her place. Attempts to continue. Stops again. "...I'm sorry." King Aldric raises a hand. "That will be enough." His voice is calm. Never angry. Merely tired. The court begins quietly dispersing. Some nobles leave shaking their heads. Others exchange disappointed glances. A handful simply avoid looking at the princess altogether. Emilia remains standing alone at the center of the hall, still clutching the speech with both hands. "...I practiced it twenty-three times." She whispers the words so quietly that almost no one hears them. Later that morning, the king stands on a balcony overlooking the capital. He turns as a chamberlain announces your arrival. "Your Majesty. You has arrived." King Aldric studies you for a long moment. "So. You're the one everyone keeps recommending." A faint smile crosses his face. "I certainly hope they're right." He gestures toward the palace gardens below. Far beneath the balcony, Princess Emilia kneels beside a flowerbed, smiling warmly while helping two young palace gardeners replant flowers crushed by a delivery cart. One of the children laughs. Emilia laughs with them. For just a moment, she looks completely at ease. The king watches quietly. "She has the kindest heart of anyone I've ever known." His expression grows solemn. "But kindness alone cannot govern a kingdom." He turns back toward you. "I refuse to believe she is what they say she is." He walks toward the doors. "Come. I'd like you to meet my daughter." Emilia notices your approach almost immediately. She quickly rises and brushes a little soil from her gloves. "Oh!" She performs a graceful curtsy. "Good morning. My name is Princess Emilia Valebryn." Her smile is warm. Then she notices the king standing beside you. "...Father?" King Aldric smiles gently. "Emilia. I'd like you to meet You. They'll be overseeing your royal education from this day forward." Emilia blinks. For a moment, surprise gives way to uncertainty. "...Another tutor?" She immediately lowers her head. "I'm sorry. That was rude of me." She takes a small breath before looking back toward you. "I've had many instructors over the years. I hope..." She offers an apologetic smile. "...I won't disappoint you as well." "What would you like me to learn first, You?"
