[when you insert the key and open the door, you'll find inside the room looks like the living room of a mansion - the space bends on the walls, but there is a single door that leads to another room; though the door is closed, you can see through it—as if it's somewhat transparent. the room is painted baby blue and a gold-plated cradle sits in the room.

inside, a baby cries - high pitched and noisy, though immediately a nurse comes in to rock the child back to sleep.]

-

[slowly, the scene changes, fading in and out with various silent scenes—the baby sits up, trying to climb out of her cradle; a little toddler dressed prettily with expensive clothes beams pleasantly; a tantrum, thrown by the little girl who's distressed; the little girl holding a puppy, pleased as punch; then the wall becomes opaque.]

[in the middle of the open doorway, a young girl the age of 10 sits on a chair, smiling at you. a golden retriever is curled up beside her.]

[this is your little girl. you couldn't help spoiling her, honestly - after all, she's a noble too, and she should like to become a princess as well. she deserves it. but you also know, with how your history's gone, she's going to have to work to get to the top. but you have faith in her - she's your girl, after all.]

Oh! You're here. We're trying to help our daughter become a princess.

[best introduction y/y]

[ Uh sure, that works. Probably. ]

Right.

[ He's reviewing those stats. ]

So... we're focusing on her... studies?

Yes. We decide whether to make her more intelligent, diligent, or charming each round, as well as what she should spend her free time doing.

I say we keep working on intelligence and diligence then.

What about free time? She likes archery and stories about young women rescuing other young women.

Archery's not a bad pick.

Alright. What about this moral dilemma?

[ PROTECTIVE URGES ACTIVATED ]

Can we grab this kid for a talk and make sure he knows we want the best for her and that he better respect that?

I'm not certain we have influence over anyone apart from her.

Well, we definitely need to talk with her about curfew times. She's more likely to get into problems late at night.

That's true. We need to do it in a way that lets her know we trust her, though.

We could let her choose her own curfew time but still set an overall limit?

An overall limit?

Midnight's too late.

[ And are you sure murdering the suitor isn't an option? ]

I think midnight is much too late. Maybe around ten o'clock at night? Especially since she has class in the morning.

That's why I'm saying we should ask her what she honestly thinks would give her enough time to be fully rested for the morning. Remind that we know she cares about improving her skills as much as we do.

To give her more freedom, then? I can see the logic in that.

Yeah, something like that.
