Princess Maker 1.5: Heart Soldier Senshi
[ 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, her nursemaid, are there instead, 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 dog, 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 11 stands, smiling at you. A stern-looking shepherd dog sits obediently next to her.
This is your little girl. 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 she'll need a guiding hand, you know. Better she become a princess than go off to war, though—better that she bear the burden of aristocracy than living a life of loneliness wrapped up in duty like her mother, or losing that life on the battlefield like her father. Whether she actually becomes a princess or not . . . well, that's up to fate, isn't it? 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 can do it: Joyous Dark Firestorm Starling, one of the Queens of your Kingdom, hand-selected your employer's child. She could not send her own child to the Lost Continent, of course—she has her own inheritance battle to face within the Kingdom and sending her own child out is essentially forfeiting that battle—so she's selected theirs to sponsor. It's because of her that your charge will be able to go at all—in other words, it's your patriotic duty to make sure your charge gets that inheritance. ]

Re: DISCUSSION
[ IT'S JUST LIKE LAST TIME. she's.
the sense of deja vu is so much. ]
I'm not saying we shouldn't do this, but we should be prepared that if we get caught, we're in for a fight--and possibly getting shipped off to jail. Are we prepared for it? If not, we should get ready.
Re: DISCUSSION
I'm ready to do this, whatever it ends up taking.

Us, and all of the children they were trying to sell for profiteering off of for the personal lives and their "grand war."
[ she only had to live in what amounted to a concentration camp for a couple months. SHE'S READY TO MURDER ALL OVER AGAin. ]

Re: DISCUSSION
it's not as if she's mad at hurricane, but this is bringing back... a lot of trauma. and old anger. SHE HATES THIS WORLD AND WHAT IT DOES TO CHILDREN... ]
Re: DISCUSSION
... I'm just saying, we need to be prepared. Last time, King and I weren't--and things got out of our control really quickly. Our daughter might bear the consequences too--so we have to be super prepared.
Re: DISCUSSION
...I'm ready, is all I'm saying. I ain't willing to let em kill some dude who didn't do nothing wrong.

[ ha. aha.ha... ]
... I'm sure if we asked her, now or later, she'd say she wants her father. And he hasn't done anything wrong. We... should try to save him, for her sake.
Re: DISCUSSION
If we're a Knight maybe we can pay off a guard and just do this without causing a commotion. Like, have them say he died in his cell or something.
Re: DISCUSSION
[ Less evidence, for one.... though... ]
It'll probably take a lot of resources to get the guards to agree. Magic, maybe.
