* '''Played for Drama''': After finding out that she's run away, the King and Queen are genuinely devastated and so is Alice's younger brother Charles, believing her to be dead. Alice is on an emotional high at first, but soon finds life outside the palace hardly satisfying; the first month, she's attacked by bandits and left for dead, with all of her money pilfered. When she reaches the next town over, it's a complete shithole run by thieves and other scum of the earth. Since she has no other skills, Alice is forced into [[TheOldestProfession walking the streets]] just to make a living. When Prince Charles comes across Alice decades later, he can hardly believe that this pitiful, barely recognizable being before him is his sister.
