princess maker - sensitIV
[ When you insert the key and open the door, you'll find yourself in a humble cottage, in what seems to be the living room specifically. There are several doors, but a specific one catches your eye: simple in its decoration, the door has a cute little wooden plaque with flowers carved into it. Though the door is closed, you can see through it—as if it's somewhat transparent.
A wooden cradle sits in the room beyond, which is otherwise plain. 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 - she'll have to work hard, and she's capable of it but you'll have to guide her hand, most certainly. Better she become a princess than go off to war, though; you could not stand to see your baby girl die on the battlefield. Whether she actually becomes a princess or not . . . well, that's up to fate, isn't it? All you can do is try your best. ]

Re: DISCUSSION
I only know of people caring when they need a blood-related heir.

[I barely remember that I am a prince but Grado is certainly much more progressive than this land, geeze.]
Re: DISCUSSION
But I don't really care. Morons like these people would get scared by their own shadows.
Re: DISCUSSION
A princess like ours could do good for this country.

Devout people are the most stubborn you'll ever meet.

Re: DISCUSSION
If they could live with the bullying and shame we could stay here and just tell them to get lost. ... otherwise I'd say we could skip town, but that other girl would stay behind and I don't want to separate them.
Otherwise.... we can try to convince the townsfolk they're wrong, but I don't think we'll get very far. It's the best plan A we've got, at least.

...we should, ah, reassure Aster, while we figure out what to do.
