This sounds like an interesting build up…
Long ago a beautiful young princess was born the only child and heir to a prosperous and wealthy kingdom. However he father was killed in battle but for many years her mother continued ruling. But then in a tragic illness the queen died and the young inexperienced princess was placed on the throne. For a while she ruled well but she knew the kingdom needed a king and finally she accepted the advances of a young and wealthy nobleman. Many promises he made to her, and within a few years after their marriage he broke them all, except for the one that he would be the king and her lord and master. However before all of this had taken place, but enough had happened for the queen to see the shadow of the future, a child was born, once again a princess and once again, an only child. At the christening a fairy asked the queen what gift she would choose for the princess to have and the sorrowing queen said, “I would that she would keep her promises”. So it was the fairy gave the child the gift that no matter what, she would keep her promises. However none there at the time knew what serious consequences would follow from this gift.
That might make a good opening for a story, or perhaps a plot opener. At any-rate, with the exception of a few scattered ideas, that is about all there is of the story. There may be more eventually and then again there may not, but I’m quite sure it will all end happily. Hopefully.
