In a far away land, the Homeworld Kingdom was ruled by her grand majesty, Blue Diamond.
She was one of the kindest queens the kingdom has ever seen and even after the tragic death of her dear sister, and former queen, Pink Diamond, she managed to keep her positive attitude and rule in her place.
After Pink Diamond's death, war was declared against the kingdom responsible for what had happened.
The Beach Kingdom, a place built by rebels against the Diamonds monarchy. Ruled by Rose Quartz, former lady of the Homeworld's royal court, and her trusty right hand, a Pearl with excellent fighting skills.
Blue Diamond did not want the war, being as kindhearted as she was, but she and her kingdom felt like they had to avenge their fallen queen.
It has been going on like that for thousands of years and eventually, a rare, aristocratic gem was made. A beautiful Sapphire, crowned princess and to be protected at all cost to one day fight in the place of her highness.
To accomplish this, she had to live under strict circumstances.
Firstly, Sapphire was not allowed outside the castle walls without a guard to accompany her.
So she would walk around the halls and the garden with her best and most loyal friend, an Amethyst that was considered a defect and too weak for fighting because of her height.
Still, on request of Sapphire, she was allowed to stay as a personal maidservant for the princess.
Secondly, she wasn't allowed to travel anywhere outside the kingdom. Not even with company, the queen fearing that something would happen if Sapphire did go out.
The last rule was the one Sapphire had the least problem with.
Blue Diamond would choose the princess's partner as soon as she would come of age.
Sapphire was okay with that, knowing that she wouldn't be able to meet someone on her own anyways.
Due to never going out and meeting new people, Sapphire didn't know what it was like to feel real love.
Of course she knew love. She loved the people around her. Her queen, Amethyst, the other servants... But she saw all of them as her family. Gems she had known all her life.
She wanted someone new in her life. She wanted something new to happen around her.
She wanted to escape. Of course, it was nice having people around you that take care of all your needs. Living the life she had...
But to her, it felt wrong. Like she wasn't supposed to be in that situation and forced to stay against her will.
She felt like the future had plans for her, outside the palace life. She just didn't know what or when it would happen.
But something inside her gave her hope to continue and wait for her opportunity to escape and start anew.
