The story of the princess always starts with "Once upon a time." She is not a princess so she started her story with the introduction of,

there was a girl in the dark village, that village was full of negativity, crime, and sin. The young girl wants to escape and live in a place where lights always there, the people were dancing with a smile written on their faces, the falls that warm the bodies of everyone. Sadly she can't escape because she doesn't know how and accepted that she will die in this place where darkness is part of her daily life.

Then one time she woke up in her bed, unknowingly that dark village she was in is her tragic past that she can't let go easily. The dark village in her dream is the self that she is scared of losing.
