PRINCESS MAKER 1.5: LiliS

[ 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: after all, she's part of the Philanthropy Program, right?

Well, okay - she doesn't have a sponsor, sure. But that's fine! She's in Class 2B with all of the more unsavoury types, those sponsored and reared by shady folks and those suspected of witchcraft and sorcery, but even being here is more than you could ask for her. It's not like you aren't used to working your way up through the ranks, and so you're thankful for the opportunity she has on the Lost Continent. ]

"Of course. Let's reach out to her and her family, then. I'm sure they want to clear their daughter's name, just like we want to see justice is done."

[ CAN WE.... TALK TO WILD CITY/WC'S DAUGHTER, I GUESS? ]

[ In that case, she's going to sit with Daughter-to-be-Named so she can watch her write. ]
Greetings WILD CITY,

This is Amaranth of LiliS, writing together with my daughter. Both of us have been very concerned about the murder that took place in 2-B's classroom, as I am sure does not surprise you.

My daughter tells me that the noble-born girls who have accused your daughter have long had a habit of mistreating her, and are cruel-natured in general. Because of this, we would like very much to hear your daughter's side of events. Perhaps by working together, we may determine the true culprit, and see true justice done.

With sincerity,
LiliS

Well, that clarifies that she wasn't even there at the time—but I can't help but wonder if those shadowy figures were, and they're the true culprits.
Talon and WILD CITY,

I am grateful to receive your response—as is my daughter, who has chosen the name Ambrosia (after the wildflower). This is a crime not easily solved, but one thing is certain: the truth will never come out if your daughter is unjustly blamed.

LiliS will vouch for your daughter's character, and to the malicious intent of her accusers. We may not have the status of nobility, but our word should at least buy time for more investigation. Unfortunately, neither Chrysanthemum nor John are with us, and a thorough investigation is not within my own skills. However, if WILD CITY is able to more closely examine the scene of events, LiliS will contribute by speaking with other knights (and any others who will hear us) about what grudges might be the true motive behind this murder.

In solidarity,
Amaranth and Ambrosia, on behalf of LiliS
