    Special Episode: The Princess Who Never Smiled

    Ever since Princess Atreya was released from the tower where she spent her adolescence, all anyone ever does is tell her to smile. Everyone knows Atreya has no sense of humor––or does she? Baffled by expectations that she should behave coquettishly for the delight of suitors she doesn’t find amusing, Atreya is maligned as a shrew and blamed for the kingdom’s misfortunes. The king offers Atreya’s fair hand to any man who can make her laugh. Which might be a problem for a rebellious princess who doesn't think these lame dudes are funny...
