[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.]

...Well, I know what I'd do.

Go to his parents and kick their butts?

Direct confrontation will only make things worse.

The teachers aren't even listening to her! What else are we supposed to do? It's not fair!

We pull at their financial wealth. We want her to be successful, so she needs to appear a kind lady. But there's no rule against us finding a way around them.

...what are you thinking? [GO ON...]

We turn it back on them. As the "parents" in this scenario we should have some acclaim to be able to do so. For example, if they make money off a store we'd just buy it away. In this case... It would seem the best response is to spread whatever information we have on them around.

For example, their son is taking more time bullying other students then paying attention to his own work.

Of course, it working depends entirely on if we have any influence outside of her.

Our best bet is relying on her. But we can't put her in any situation that would cause her further harm or eyes on her reputation.

...If that were case then, I suppose, the best bet is to suggest she friend the bully. She's charming enough she might be able to make it work and keep him away from the other students. There is the chance it won't work, but hopefully that's where we'd come in.

...well.

After all, we're nobles too...they can't be the only ones with connections around here! As long as we're not the ones accusing them of anything, they can't turn it back at us, right?

She's our super cute and lovable daughter, so she'll definitely be able to distract that bully a little. Then she can just let mommy and daddy take care of everything else~

Exactly. As long as we're careful with how we do it, then it should work out. Any good high-class family wouldn't want their name soiled and so should act on it quickly. Whatever that means.

Who knows, she may actually be good enough to get through to him. She's a charming enough girl and we've taught her to do the right thing thus far. We could even go as far as letting her decide to do what she thinks is best.

Yeah. I believe in her! Whatever happens, we'll figure it out together!

[Not quite what he was thinking, but he'll go with it.]

At the very least we know she'll do the right thing.

[with the new moral story part...]

We could just get rid of him.

We can't just get rid of him.

Are you sure? It would make our lives so much easier.

There are LAWS unfortunately.

Yes, and unfortunately, for a simple bully we can't upsurp them. I wonder if we told her to ask him to stop if he would? Or perhaps if he truly is charmed by her-- if he does listen to whatever she wishes-- well, it shouldn't be a problem.

Maybe she can just tell him to stop being a jerk or she'll never love him.

Perhaps. We'll certainly not letting her date him. Nor should we let him give her that idea though. Perhaps have her word it as "he'll never find love" this way?

Yeah. We do NOT want him to think he has a chance!

Man, when did becoming a princess get so complicated...?

Commoners always think it's easier than it is.

What's with that 'commoner' talk, anyway!? I could be a princess myself for all you know!

Doubtful. If you knew the situation a high-class person was born into you wouldn't say such things.

I don't know ANYTHING! I just GOT here! If you know so much about being high-class, why don't YOU just go out there and fix everything right now, huh???

It's hardly that simple.
