What do you think of this detective story plot?

It's an idea I had for a short story we have to write in English and was wondering what others thought of it

Ok, so, it's set in a small fictional nation and it follows this 21-year-old female private detective, she's cocky, egotistical, and rude, but is a genius and he meets his man who is framed for murder, but he's innocent, blah blah blah, she clears his name and they become friends and love interests.

The ploy twist is she's a princess, the daughter of the king and heir to the throne, but shed rather be a detective, so she has to keep her true identity hidden from her boyfriend and friends

Well? How does it sound? It's not that detailed at the moment but I have 3 weeks to work on it

Thanks

    It's hard to believe that an heir to a throne would be allowed to go anywhere without a team of bodyguards, let alone put herself in danger by snooping into other people's lives. But hey, this is fiction, right?

    It kind of sounds like the story goes all over the place. The first part, of her clearing him and becoming love interests, can be a fine story all on its own. Adding the princess thing just makes things seem long. You might want to refrain from writing too many topics in one story. Maybe narrow it down a little.
