Princess Maker 1.5: future is now
[ When you insert the key and open the door, you'll find the room inside looks like the living room of a mansion. There are several doors, but one in particular stands out to you: it is ornately decorated, the very door's wood itself carved beautifully with gold etched in to make luxurious patterns depicting what looks like the sky and the wind blowing through the grasslands. 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. That child, your charge—you're her nursemaid, so you go to her and rock her 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 at the age of 11 sits on a chair, smiling at you. A long-haired, pure white cat 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 her family history has gone, she's going to have to work to get to the top. Still, you have faith in her—she's your girl, after all. Fortunately, when she goes to the Lost Continent, she won't be alone: you, as her longtime caretaker (her third parent, really, or her first, if you consider how her family's left her care entirely to you), may accompany her to her new school. You'll be her ally, her support, her greatest weapon; you'll be the one who determines her success . . . or her failure. ]
[ Of course, you're not the only one that thinks your charge deserves the world: Primrose Victory Bacon^3, one of the Queens of your Kingdom, hand-selected your employers' child. She doesn't have a child of her own to send to the Lost Continent—and even if she did, she would have her own inheritance battle to face within the Kingdom anyway—so she's selected theirs to sponsor. It's because of her that your charge will be able to go at all. That your child would catch the Queen's eye surely means the inheritance is as good as hers!
. . . Though, it's a little unsettling that the one rumored to be the Queen of Crime is your charge's sponsor! ]

Re: DECISION
1) Release all the videos incriminating the commoner.
2) Call for the dissolution of the school due to the school's negligent security and rampant misbehavior by parents attempting to frame children.
3) Give Sheepity a lesson in "you stand up against bullies, but don't become one yourself. And sometimes, just let the chips fall where they may. But mostly, don't make choices you'll regret."
Who knows what their girl will be like after this but honestly, she's well on her way to becoming the next Batman, probably.
Re: DECISION
When you released all the videos incriminating the commoner, it happened to be when one of the nobles charged for an investigation against her family! You successfully got her family (and also like, her entire gang? she was in a gang? sportspuck was a gang? of crimes?) jailed.
The school is also dissolving, due to, uh, wow, this is all fucked is n't it!
Your daughter learns not to regret anything. She doesn't.
Bad news:
They don't have, like, "videos" in this world. . . They don't have technology either but they were perfectly content to let you just be a weirdo until you showed them the videos. Now they've accused you for witchcraft, and you've been jailed! Oops! Oops! Oops oops oops!
Sheepity tries to get you free—but it seems she also has an aptitude for Technokinesis and Gadgeteering, and she's imprisoned as well.
She can't really take the final exam in prison . . .
. . . But she won't regret the choice she made here. She'll make things right.
You may now proceed to Endgame.
