Принц и Гвардеец

I'm curious about the process behind selecting these particular tales from the larger universe. Were they written at different times or planned as a set from the start?

Some characters felt more fleshed out or relatable than others. Did you find yourself rooting for specific characters or moments more than others?

The royal palace and its world felt so vivid — I wonder what inspired the author to craft this particular universe and its culture.
