Years passed by, Ani was struggling with her confidence as both Crown Princess and a future queen.

Ani’s life that was always under her mother’s shadow made her feeling not confident to be the next queen.

Things got worse, when Ani’s father passed away. At the funeral, the queen announced that her second child, Calib, would become the next ruler.

Feeling confused, Ani tried to confront the queen. “Mother, I ask pardon for intruding so soon after the mourning period, but I must ask you about your statement some weeks ago,” said Ani.

“Yes, yes my child, about Calib. Sit down,” the queen asked Ani to sit and continued explaining, “You remember, five years ago we received a visit from the Prime minister of Bayern.” Ani nodded.

“Well actually, according to our tradition, if it has to be one of my kids to marry the prince of Bayern, it should be the third child, Napralina.  But she is too young, and you, my dear Ani, you are different. After the trouble with your aunt, I’m worried that people would never trust you as the rumors of you being a animal-speaker have sunk too deep,” said the queen.

Furious and upset, Ani had no other choice and was obliged to agree. Ani’s lady-in-waiting and best friend, Selia also convinced her to go to Bayern.

Ani was crushed, but performed her duty and left Kildenree. However, another bad thing happened.

On the way to Bayern, Ani began to feel alienated from Selia. Selia later took Ani’s identity as the princess and seeized Ani’s power.

After days wandering in the forest alone, Ani eventually stumbled on the house of Gilsa and her son, Finn.

Gilsa told her, “Go to Bayern with Finn when the market opens. If you are fortunate, you will meet the king in person.”

Eventually, Ani and Finn went to the market to try to speak to the king. They met the king but she ended up telling him that she was new to the city and had nowhere to go.

Hence, the king assigned her as a goose girl. At first, as a goose girl, Ani struggled to connect with the other workers and the geese.

However, this changed when she met Enna who worked with chickens, and Jok, an injured goose that she nursed back to health.

Over time, Ani built friendships with the workers including with a man named Geric, who told her that he was the prince’s guard.
