CW for very explicit animal cruelty/murder & implied (child) murder I really enjoyed this short story. Immediately fell in love with the protagonist, and I did hate the little prince, too, so I felt a lot of sympathy for her. If you enjoy creepy, brutal, dark fantasy stuff, I highly recommend this one! Would love to read more about the protagonist.
