Princess Maker 1.5: AlcheME!

[ 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, and you're not the only one that thinks your charge could bring about great change to the world.

You've been a follower of The Great Z's doctrine for some time now; she will come to liberate this country, and she is well on her way, but she recognizes that her reach could be farther. If her words could take root in the Lost Continent—wouldn't that be grand? And your charge could be the first hook.

You may have subtly or not-so-subtly implied as such to your local revolutionary leaders, and soon enough, you heard back: The Great Z entrusts the task of guiding that child to you. Just a little after that, a mysterious benefactor sent word to your employers, declaring that your charge would be sent to the Lost Continent with them as her sponsor.

The Great Z must be smiling, somewhere. She's surely blessed you . . . and you won't let this blessing go to waste. ]

Oh, say, someone who wants to get rid of the commoner, 'cause then that would be one less girl to compete against in school. And it's easier to get rid of her than, say, you or your friends, or the girls from the knight families.

I just think it doesn't make sense for the commoner to be the one to have done it. This sort of thing would get her thrown out, and no one comes to this school only to blow their chance on doing something so obviously stupid.

If she was gonna steal, she could have done it without wrecking the classroom. What sort of thief paints a big red target on their back like that? And just 'cause you don't think she's a threat doesn't mean another girl doesn't.

And in any case, even getting you to come here needed someone else vouching for you. Imagine how much harder it was for her family to get noticed for her to be allowed to come here? She's got more reasons to behave herself than anyone else.

[ Please he hopes this gets Venus to think a little harder. ]

... I just worry because if it turns out that my suspicions are even a little right, then you and your friends are going to be responsible for breaking another girl's dreams. 'Cause it your words against hers. Are you okay with that?

Then...do you want to investigate and try to find out what really happened? You saw them making their escape, but you didn't see what they were doing before, right?

Do you want to help the girl from the knight family, then? Since she's investigating too.
