Ep 3. The Princess of Darkness

Bean, Lucy, and Elfo decide to go on a quest to find a legendary treasure supposedly guarded by a mysterious creature known as the "Princess of Darkness". Along the way, they encounter a band of thieves who steal their horse, forcing them to continue on foot. As they journey deeper into the forest, they come across a beautiful but eerie castle where they are greeted by the Princess of Darkness herself. The princess tells them that in order to claim the treasure, they must first defeat her in a game of riddles.

Brimming with confidence, Bean accepts the challenge and begins playing the game. She quickly discovers that she may have underestimated the princess, who seems to have an answer for every riddle. Lucy and Elfo do their best to assist Bean, but the princess is one step ahead. As the game goes on, it becomes clear that the princess is not just a clever opponent, but also a formidable enemy should they fail to outwit her.

As they continue to play, tensions rise and emotions run high. Bean becomes obsessed with winning the game, determined to prove herself as a true hero. Lucy, on the other hand, questions whether the treasure is truly worth risking their lives for. Elfo provides some much-needed comic relief, but even he begins to feel the pressure as the stakes get higher.

Despite the odds stacked against them, Bean and her companions manage to hold their own in the game, answering some of the princess's riddles correctly. However, they soon realize that the princess is not interested in playing fair. She begins to use underhanded tactics, forcing the trio to question whether they should walk away before it's too late.

In the end, it all comes down to one final riddle. If Bean answers correctly, she will be awarded the treasure. However, if she fails, the group will suffer unspeakable consequences. The tension in the room is palpable as Bean gives her answer, and the fate of the cast of characters hangs in the balance.
