The trade between the Silver Kingdom and the White Kingdom had escalated into a war. The Silver Kingdom had been prosperous at a point, Queen Regina's trade ensured that. But once she stopped trading, they began to become poor and the White Kingdom grew angry that the smaller Kingdom had, in their poorness, refused to continue trading. These events lead to the War of the Kingdoms.
On the battle field, Princess Natalia's father, the King Johnathan of the Silver Kingdom, fought. The princess was still a child, only three winters old, and still wasn't able to wrap her head around the idea of a war. She only knew that something bad would happen. The King had locked his beloved little girl in a hidden away room, guarded by his finest guards. If he were to die on the battle field, the Princess would have to live with her god-mother – Queen Regina. Honestly, he didn't want the Queen to be his child's god-mother. Not after she ended the trade with him. It was her fault that this War was happening, it would be her fault if he orphaned his motherless-child due to his actions in the War. He was angry with Regina, as he knew that the chances of him dying were high. The White Kingdom's army was stronger than his, and the soldiers would be heavily rewarded if it was their sword that cut through him. That's how his life ended. A recognizable soldier had come charging after The King, his own soldiers pushed aside by this single one. The blade went right through him, and it hurt, but not as much as knowing that he would never get to make it back to his daughter for tea.
