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.]

[He sighs.]
We suggest she tell him that he'll never find anyone to love him that way, first of all. Certainly not her.
And then we encourage the other members of the upperclass to have a discussion with the boy. It seems spreading rumors isn't doing more for us then letting us know they're unhappy with the situation. So our best bet is to have children come forward and hope they see reason.
Unfortunately, it's a double-edged sword that could backfire. If he's too ahead of us, then the tables turn against us and we'll lose any of our allies. At the same time if we split the argument then a fight will break out.
Do you see why there is no simple solution?
Re: DISCUSSION
Trying to reason with them didn't work before and it won't now. The only way the others'll help is if we can get them all to go against his parents at once. And you KNOW they wouldn't just be talking.
If Tempie can't convince him, we're doomed.
Re: DISCUSSION
If the rulers of a kingdom found the princess-to-be from a family of usurpers it wouldn't do us any good. There's other ways.
What we need to do is hold an event of some kind. Force his parents to catch him in the act and everyone else. We could do a school sports festival or something of the sort. But if we put them in a position where they can't deny it that is our best and safest bet.

We seem to have our way then.
