The child was found on the steps of the convent, in the dead of night. The Sisterhood took the child in, and intended on caring for the child until they found a more suitable home.
But as the weeks passed, every letter was returned with an apology that there was no room for another.
Weeks turned to months, and they stopped sending letters.
17 years and 360 days after that night, a battalion of the King's guard arrived, looking for a long lost heir.
But when they found out the child was female, they decided they'd clearly made a mistake.
