Alicia is a female knight who has fought hard and won consistently. A sorcerer she once spared — and perhaps should not have — has returned to exploit that mercy. His curse is targeted and cruel: it prevents her from equipping any armor. For a knight, this is potentially fatal. It does not stop Alicia. She finds what she can wear, she arms herself with what is available, and she heads for the sorcerer's castle to settle this permanently. The best option she could find for protection was a maid's uniform. She is not pleased about it. She is going anyway.
