This is literally like a mini-Novoember. But I figured this was a perfect fit for the prompt because despite being through so much anguish, despite what the neighsayers might think of her, Novo will not let her past haunt her. She's made mistakes, but who hasn't? She learns like every leader does. And if anyone tries to come after her, her subjects, her Pearl, or her kingdom, well she won't back down this time."
