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. ]

...I think we're like way past that point.

Pretty sure we're gonna have to go off the grid.

If we do that then I think we forfeit our horse in this race. I wonder if one of us could throw ourselves on the stake for her and then just tell her never to use it again. We did warn her about this.

So one of us claims to be the one that was actually using Charm, the entire time.

Are you sure you're alright with the consequences that would come from that? [Man, why is she even asking, she knows the answer.]

[ lol. ] I'd do anything for her, and for you guys, and if these jerks are already coming to our house to break our windows and write nasty stuff, then the next time they may actually break inside and hurt somebody and that's not something I could stand to let happen.

What, like... gets to be the witch?

I always wanted to have dumb magic powers. I could make a big show outta my witchy powers and then take all the assholes on a trip around the country chasing after me while you guys get stuff set up here.

[She lets out a small laugh, then gets sad.]

But. The one of us that takes that position will, at the very least, probably never be able to see her again.

It's not a choice to take lightly... but it'll be for her future, and knowing that we've made it better, y'know?

If all of us are considering it, then how about we draw straws?

If you two are both willing to make this sacrifice for her...I'll do my best to take care of her, from this point on.

I'll let you two decide who's best for it.

I know you'll do an amazing job. I mean, if I'm being honest, you already have.

Hey, if the pay-off's that she gets to be safe and happy, I'll take it. I can say my goodbyes.

...alright. [She nods.]

I'll leave it to you and Diva to decide.
