## History

Unlike her mother, who grew up at the beck and call of her own mother, Sultana Amani, Esin was the exact opposite. She is feisty and longs for independence. Her clothing style and make-up are often shamed by the press, who don't suspect an Oasis Springs princess and future monarch to behave in such a manner, but she ignores the comments and salvages the little independence she has. She was very naturally intelligent and is able to read people very quickly. She follows her family's mannerisms and actions and can easily predict how they would react to certain things.

Finally fed up, Akina had no choice but to put Esin under conservatorship. All affairs regarding her finances and daily life were controlled by her mother and grandmother. Esin would not be able to get out of this conservatorship until she was capable of being a respectable princess in their eyes. Esin was furious and as a result shut herself away from her family. Akina thought it would help her mature into her role, but really just proved of how blind she was of the generational trauma she was putting onto Esin. If anything, the conservatorship made Esin more sneaky. She secretly made an arrangement with Prince Alastair and Grand Duchess Roksana of Del Sol Valley that she would betrothed her future child to their oldest daughter with her richest as a rewards if they would help her out of the conservatorship. The couple agreed and began plotting their plan. She knew that if she were to run away, then her family would go looking for her and beg her to come home. So Esin believed that if she could run away and find a place where no one would find her, she'd be able to go through with her plan. She didn't want to leave forever, but made it look like that so her family would start to bride her to come home and eventually lift her conservatorship in order for her to return. Unfortunately her plans were foiled when her mother found her sneaking out on night. She was dragged back to the palace, where she was confronted by her mother and grandmother. All they wanted was for her to be obedient and play her role in the family and do good for their reputation. But Esin wasn't having it anymore and lashed out at her mother and grandmother about their ways. If their reputation meant more to them than the happiness of their daughter, then Esin was willing to give up her throne. Reputation was only a social construct anyway, but they were so disconcerted to see that Esin was suffocating under this strain and would never be held up in high regard to Akina and Amani. After their argument, Esin, Akina, and Amani weren't on speaking terms and the whole family remained tense for a long time. Esin did try talking to both of them, but they never budge in their ignorance, silently disowning her. Marcus, Kengo, and Ravza seemed to be the only ones putting effort into conversation, but the conversations were baseless and they missed their talks that involved the whole family.

During this drama, Ravza was going on dates with her betrothed, Lord Fang. However, Fang lusted over her while she just wanted a friend and someone to lean on while her family was fighting. Eventually, he sexually assaulted Ravza, causing her to withdraw from Fang and others. She kept it a secret for a while, but realizing that she had no one else to turn to, she blubbered out her secret and opinion in front of her whole family. Realizing their toxic and dismissive attitudes, the three woman apologized for their faults and comforted Ravza during her recovery. Things eventually lightened up for Esin and she was taken out of the conservatorship as a result.
