~~ Alyssa Holmes - 19 Years Old - Famous Detective ~~
A tall white girl with full gray eyes, long dark brown hair. Wears a black shirt and blue jeans with a long brown detective cloak (hates it and is usually seen without it) and black shoes.

(Alyssa is actually the perfect person for Victoria to get help with escaping the kingdom because Alyssa will know the area around the kingdom and a way to a safe place to rest because she travels a lot. She is the most helpful. But it will take some serious convincing. And also Victoria may have seen Alyssa before but they have never talked face to face because the queen and king didn't want to. You can decide the real reason)

Royal balls. The royal family in general. Everything to do with royalty. She rather didn't trust it and didn't like it either.

Alyssa had a reputation. She was a famous detective and was well-known throughout the world. So being hired by high end people should be amazing, right? Dead. WRONG.

Alyssa had a problem with high end people. She usually argued with their claims, got distracted easily, and overall just didn't do very well with orders that weren't from her mother or normal people. The princess? That was a whole new cam of worms.

Princess Victoria always fascinated Alyssa in some way. Even though she was never seen in public, ever, Alyssa got opportunities to see the girl in person. While that girl was never allowed to speak with her, the detective had seen her a few times. Although the queen and king did everything in their power to make sure they never met face-to-face. And that bugged Alyssa. Why did they not want her to meet the princess? What does the princess have that the royal family doesn't want her to know? Why was she never allowed in public? This mystery was tugging her. And she needed to solve it.

Alyssa had been invited to the royal ball as a special guest. Of course she accepted it like everyone expected her to. But that meant she had to wear a dress and look pretty? Nope. Just as bad, she needed to wear her detective cloak. And have so much unnecessary stuff on her. And Alyssa was the center of attention until the princess showed up. Yup. I need to know more.

After about 3 hours, Alyssa finally pushed her way through the crowd and left the palace, exploring the palace grounds and gardens. Flowers brought Alyssa peace. She wasn't sure why, but they just did. Taking off her cloak and putting it on her shoulder, a glittering caught her attention in the grass nearby. It was a broken tiara. It's Victoria's. I saw her wearing it at the ball. Alyssa wasn't allowed to speak with the princess during the ball, and that bugged her. If the princess's tiara is here, then she must be close... Alyssa stood up, picking up the broken crown, and looking around.

Alyssa heard singing nearby, and her detective brain clicked in, and she followed it. And not too long after that, she found the princess. Oh my... She is... She is amazing.

Victoria sounded so good as a singer, she twirled, although she wasn't wearing the gloves and high heels Alyssa remembered her wearing at the ball. I don't care if I get in trouble. The others can go suck blood for all I care. She approached the princess, still holding the broken crown.

*ahem* She found herself clearing her throat. "Hello. You must be Princess Victoria. It's nice to see you face to face for once. I'm Alyssa Holmes." She fidgeted with the broken crown in her hands, feeling slightly nervous.

Alyssa stared at the princess as she spoke to her. "Balls bore me. I don't know why your parents invited me, I'm not from here. Probably because I was involved in helping catch someone who tried to kill the king like two weeks ago." She said, glancing at the crown. "I travel a lot, I'm a detective for hire, so I don't like fancy stuff. And I think I can tell you don't like being a princess."

She didn't care if it was rude. She was speaking the truth. Victoria didn't like being a princess. It was clear as day. Why else would she be here and not in the ball? Alyssa dropped the broken crown and shoved it into the grass. "And that's ok with me."

(If Victoria wants to escape the kingdom, she needs to stop Alyssa from leaving right now or she may lose her only chance)

Alyssa raised an eyebrow at Victoria as she tried to deny it. "Victoria... There is a reason I am one of the best detective in the world. I can read people's mind by just staring at them. I don't like using, and I almost never use it. But I can read people's faces as well. And their voices. How you are out here instead of in the ball, your broken crown, how you are dirty, it's enough for me. I don't need to scan your face. It's almost too obvious to see you don't like being royalty. At least it's obvious for me."

She wondered why this girl hasn't ran away already. She could easily. But... Actually no it wouldn't be easy. Oh well. "Well, I won't be making you feel uncomfortable anymore. I need to get out of here, and go off into the world more. It was great to talk to you, Victoria. You are someone that I am impressed with." She turned and started walking away.

Alyssa felt her sleeve be grabbed. She looked back, slightly jerking her body. "What?" She stared at the princess. She wanted her help to escape? "You want me to help you escape the kingdom? Right now?" Alyssa looked left and right. The coast was clear... Was she really going to do this?

"If I'm going to do this, you need to be in a different outfit. Quick. Follow me." She started walking fast towards some heavy hedges.
