Princess Villian hostage crisis

The Princess Villian hostage crisis was an event which occurred 10 years prior to the current year of the story timeline. It involved the abduction of the then 14-year old Princess Villian by the Spanish Astrological Sect, a Roman Catholic cabal. Wanting to use this chance to attack the cabal and claim its territories in South America, the princess was abandoned by the British Royal Family, prompting William Orwell to save the princess himself.

Background
Since the sinking of the Spanish Armada, there had been some history and hostility between English and Spanish magical cabals. One of the Spanish sects was the Spanish Astrological Sect, one of the few major factions in the Roman Catholic Church. They orchestrated the abduction of Princess Villian from a royal carriage, which should normally have provided perfect protection, but didn't due to a deal arising from political circumstances.

The British Royal Family hoped to use his chance to attack the sect, as it still controlled many territories in South America from the spread of Christianity during the Age of Discovery. England sought to take control of these territories and expand its influence, and since the third princess didn't have much power or influence, she was to become a sacrifice to achieve that goal.

France made a declaration that they would resolve this battle near the Strait of Dover, requesting England not worry with a hidden meaning that they were not to take action before the battle reached England.

With the knights' hands tied, William Orwell decided to head out onto the battlefield himself, being free to do so as a mercenary. The Knight Leader wished to follow him, but William immobilized him to prevent him from doing so, so that the Knight Leader could keep his position and try to change England's system, which had given rise to this situation, from within.

After the situation was resolved, William Orwell left England.
