    The young princess, lost in a labyrinth of her own thoughts, wandered the palace gardens. She was often seen speaking in riddles, an enigma to all.

    Her loyal servant, always by her side, watched her worriedly. She had been with the princess since birth and noticed the oddities more than anyone else.

    The princess often retired to her chamber, speaking to imaginary creatures. The servant, ever vigilant, began to suspect the truth about her origins.

    The servant noticed the princess's constant companion, a faerie who was always by her side. She wondered if the princess's strange behavior was linked to this creature.

    One moonlit night, the servant followed the princess to the garden. She observed the princess whispering to the faerie and saw the creature respond with a soft glow.

    "You can see her, can't you?" The princess suddenly asked, her eyes meeting the servant's. The servant nodded, confirming her suspicions about their shared ability to see faeries.

    The servant started researching about their heritage. She found old tales of humans born to changeling fathers who could see faeries, just like them.

    Armed with this knowledge, the servant decided to help the princess understand her unique abilities. She hoped that this would help her make sense of her riddles and thoughts.

    The servant explained their unique heritage to the princess. She listened attentively, her eyes wide with realization and relief.

    With the servant's guidance, the princess started understanding her riddles and communicating effectively with the faerie. She felt less lost and more in tune with her abilities.

    As days passed, the princess's behavior started to change. She was happier, more confident, and her riddles started making sense.
