An amnesiac king raises his rescued daughter in obscurity, unaware she will trade him for a prince.
Monarch Carl of Monclair surrenders his identity to pull orphan Jessica from peril during a diplomatic trip, then vanishes into twenty years of manual labor as her sole provider.

The revelation arrives only after the rupture: the father she cast into the street is the vanished sovereign the realm has mourned.
