princess maker - 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 are there 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 bird, 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 10 stands, smiling at you. A bird with beautiful plumage rests on her shoulder.

This is your daughter. 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 you'll have to guide her hand, most certainly. Better she become a princess than go off to war, though; you could not stand to see your baby girl die on the battlefield. Whether she actually becomes a princess or not . . . well, that's up to fate, isn't it? All you can do is try your best. ]

This is my thought as well.

Regardless of our actions here - as long as a King sits upon the throne who won't do anything about the situation, or even hear the people's grievances, our success will be limited.

What this Kingdom needs is better leadership. If Joy still wants to meet the Prince...

The king sitting upon the throne isn't the problem - well, it's not the whole problem, it's the council that we need to worry about. They're the ones controlling him and inhibiting any progress he actually does want to make, we need to make sure Joy can do something about them.

[ ... ? This is BRAND NEW and very relevant information. ]

What did you manage to learn since we were split up?

We know that the king is kind, but ineffective, and built the wall around the city to protect the plague bearers. We know that not everyone who's identified as one has access to that protection, it's an experiment they're doing and people surround the gates hoping for admittance and refuge. There are protestors against this, a lot of the people outside the barrier don't want 'plague' in their city and think the king is a coward, they say he has to be stopped from helping them. There might already be a revolution in place, for the worse.

The military is protecting who they can, but we've seen more than once the townspeople trying to stone someone they thought they could get away with it.

That must mean he's at odds with his own nobility... and apparently his council, if what you've learned is true.

He doesn't have a lot of political allies, no. But... Nobility and politics isn't my specialty, I'm not sure what tactic would be the best to take for that.

If nothing else, it means they're very comfortable with their entrenched power and won't appreciate a regime change that rips it out from under them.

In order to shift that dynamic, a future ruler would need to be strong willed, with strong morals, and unafraid to do what's right regardless consequences.

[ Now who do they know who's like that?? How convenient! ]
