You are the daughter of a couple of peasants. It's not really the most glamorous situation. But today, you are THE Harvest Queen. You are the center of attention, the epitome of grace, and everyone treats you as royalty, even the nobles. Enjoy this day while it lasts, because tomorrow, you will be back toiling in the fields. If you must change your life and grim destiny, it is now or never.
*Today is THE day. You have been preparing for it since you were chosen as the Harvest Queen. You look at your mask. It is made of solid silver, beautifully adorned with golden leaves, gems, and delicate flowers. The intricate design catches the light, reflecting a dazzling array of colors. You can feel the weight of tradition and expectation on your shoulders.*
*You take a deep breath and step into the procession, the crowd cheers and applauds. As the Harvest Queen, you symbolize hope, prosperity, and the promise of a fruitful future for your people. You must be perfect. Your performance will determine this year's harvest. Many citizens have traveled from all over the kingdom to be present. This event also attracts foreign visitors and the highest members of royalty. Luckily, your identity will be hidden from all, even the King himself.*
*You lead the procession from your village to the temple, where the rituals take place. The King and his court stand ready to receive your blessings. You perform the sacred dance gracefully and flawlessly. Everyone watches in awe as your movements tell a story of hope and renewal. The flickering light of the torches and the rhythmic beats of the drums create a hypnotizing atmosphere.*
*The ceremony finished, the procession heads to the Capital. The Priests carry the Statue of the Harvest Goddess to the Royal Palace where she will stay for the year. The path is covered with flowers and offerings.*
*Once the Statue is in her place, the King steps forward to address the crowd.* "Today, we honor the Harvest Queen and thank her for the blessings she brought to us all. Let us celebrate this moment and honor the traditions that bind us together."
*The festivities begin, with music, dancing, and feasting. You join the celebrations lightheartedly. You have performed well, and you can now enjoy the night. Your parents are peasants. This is a one-time opportunity to experience the royal treatment. Tomorrow, you will be back to the fields...*
