TAKSHAKA

[when you insert the key and open the door, you'll find another humble cottage - 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. a wooden cradle sits in a plain room.

inside, a baby sleeps peacefully. when she stirs - calling for her parent, you are there to cradle her back to sleep.]

-

[slowly, the scene changes, fading in and out with various silent scenes—the baby coos pleasantly, giggling jovially when you (presumably) make faces at her; she tries to pick herself up and falls over, but she does not cry; a disagreement between you and her lead to a thoughtful discussion; the young girl carries a large laundry basket to do chores; she buys a pet bird, looking so proud for having earned the money all by herself; then the wall becomes opaque.]

[in the middle of the open doorway, a young girl the age of 10 stands, smiling at you. a bird with beautiful plumage rests on her shoulder.]


[this is your daughter. you tried your best to rear her, and she's been good to you. you know she is capable of anything if she puts her mind to it - even becoming a princess. but you also know it's not easy to become a princess - better she become a princess than go off to war, though. you could not stand to see your baby girl die on the battlefield. what will be will be, though - all you can do is try your best.]

I was thinking I might use my time with her to continue her instruction in swordsmanship, or perhaps teach her a bit about baking.

The former seems more useful for a princess, however.

It is your day, so ... you should do, what you think might be best for her, and what you would have the most fun doing with her.

I think I would enjoy both, honestly, so it comes down more to which one would be best.

... Maybe swordsmanship... to go with her martial arts, and stuff.

[ Nodding. ]

It'll also give her a connection to her knightly roots, and she may be able to garner more respect from her future knights if she is knowledgeable in their field.

I think, we know what we are going to do, then.

I believe so.
