Escape from the Maiden's Tower.

As we know, we have reinterpreted the most well-known legends about the Maiden's Tower. Let's briefly recall the legend.

There are several stories about the name of the tower. According to one story, an oracle prophesied that the emperor's beloved daughter would be killed by a poisonous snake on her 18th birthday. The Emperor had a tower built in the Bosphorus to protect it and locked it here to keep it away from snakes. His only regular visitor was his father. On his 18th birthday, the emperor gifted him a basket of exotic fruits, so glad he was able to thwart the prophecy. However, the princess who died in her father's arms was bitten by a snake hiding among the fruits, just as the oracles predicted, and the Maiden's Tower takes its name from here.

Based on this story, in my story, the emperor's daughter may have escaped from the tower. I think it might be a new approach to the story. Actually, the girl didn't die, she may have escaped in a hot air balloon. The girl may have gone far from the snake when her father came to the island. This time the prophet was wrong.
