Her kind-heartedness and boundless optimism start to break down the barriers around the lawyer's heart, leading to an unusual but burgeoning friendship. Meanwhile, back in her world, the tale unfolds as the true intentions of the evil queen are revealed, setting the stage for a confrontation between the worlds of fantasy and reality. The princess must find a way to bridge these two worlds, challenging her beliefs and discovering her true strength in the process.
