I am the sacrifice.
Damsel quotes

If you want these people to think we belong here, you can't act so easily impressed.
It is this sacrifice we commemorate every generation. A tradition going back centuries. Your hand, child. A legacy of honor and duty you now inherit, Princess Elodie of Aurea. Let our two lines mingle and fast become one. She is now of royal blood.
It seems even the harshest clime can grow the fairest flowers.
It seems your family need money. My family needs a bride. What we don't need is more family.
So, tonight, you join a long line of women who have helped build this kingdom.

There are many stories of chivalry where the heroic knight saves the damsel in distress. This is not one of them.
There is no way out princess. Not for any of you. Three were taken. Three must be given.

They may be royalty, but that doesn't make them good people.
This is the end of your story.
This story ends the same.
You're Elodie. You can do anything.
