Here, the little princess makes a choice that’s definitely not in the royal handbook: she pulls out her own heart to feed a freshly hatched baby she-dragon. There’s no tragedy here—just practical problem-solving. The she-dragon needs fuel to grow wings strong enough to fly out of the castle, which is convenient for the princess too. Sometimes sharing an organ is faster than waiting for a prince with generic ideas.
