OMETOTCHTLI
[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.]

Re: MORAL DILEMMA
Whatever you decide, know that we'll always be here for you. We love you sooo much, and we'll do whatever it takes to make sure you're happy and safe. If you don't want to do this we'll find another way, but no matter what, we'll do it together. Cause we're a family, and there's nothing we can't do together!
Re: MORAL DILEMMA
The rest of the populace begs to differ. Many parents are at a loss as to what to do, seeing as how nobody wishes to listen to go against the wishes of the town's nobleman. What could they possibly do. . . . ?
--
Your daughter is encouraged by your words, and she decides she wishes to understand her bully. She wishes to understand his upbringing, and if possible, befriend him; this is exactly what she sets out to do.
Naturally, because she is so charming, it isn't particularly difficult for her. She befriends him, though at first she's merely used as a gopher. Still, it seems she's charmed this boy by the end. . . .
. . . .yet, he won't stop his actions, not against other people. He has stopped bullying her in particular, at least overtly, though he's also of the opinion that maybe they should become more than just friends - ? His mother taught him that his wife should be someone he is enamored with, and he's certainly enamored by your daughter.
Your daughter, on the other hand, is not sure how to deal with this.
Re: MORAL DILEMMA
What we are going to propose is a sports festival, play, or other means that the students perform and the parents participate in. During this time, we hope that the boy will show his true colors and his parents are forced to answer to it.
Otherwise, right now... We're doing our best to keep Tempie "comfortable," as it were. We're not going to force her into anything she's against, but we will strongly suggest that she set the boy straight. She should tell him that if he expects to be loved by anyone this behavior shouldn't keep up. Furthermore, that they are only ten and there priorities should lie elsewhere. Although, the last part is better left unsaid depending on his reaction to the first part.
If all of this fails, then we'll simply give her private lessons and keep her from the situation as much as possible.

Re: MORAL DILEMMA
. . . . unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, the nobleman's son is on his best behavior today. He's trying to impress his future wife's parents, after all.
But it's hard to keep one's personality under wraps, and every so often he snaps and yells at someone before reigning it in - though he's irritated. It turns out, he's not that great at sports, even though he's got the physical prowess.
He almost gets through the end of the time without a mishap - but when your daughter confronts him and tells him that she doesn't feel very comfortable with marrying him, he. . . ends up going a little ballistic.
Fortunately that's what you wanted, you evil, evil parents. You're given the opportunity to step in, while other parents and victims of this bully are able to cry out in outrage! His parents continually deny that anything wrong was happening and accuse everyone of being their enemies - but by the end they're unable to show their face for a while. You can consider that a mission accomplished.
Now your daughter isn't entirely sure what happened - but she's happy for it. She spoke her mind and this is what happened!
Now it's just waiting for the Summer Festival to come around. . . .
