Payment for Peace. The Serpent Principality

The bloody war between three states has ended. According to the terms of the peace treaty, the defeated side must give the lord of the Nagas the king's daughter. But instead of the rightful heir, the lord receives an illegitimate daughter, a mute warrior princess. However, she quickly won the favor of his closest supporters, and could not remain in the status of a powerless captive. Inadvertently entangled in the web of a conspiracy against the lord of the Nagas, she has woven its threads around herself, attracting the attention of not only the lord but also his enemies. Who is she? A payment, a punishment, or a gift?
