princess maker - avante en garde

[ 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, though immediately a nurse comes in to rock the child back 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 the age of 10 sits on a chair, smiling at you. a golden retriever 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 your history's 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. ]

Haha, we can definitely afford that.

[calmthefoxdown]

Let's ask her if she's okay with that.

Hello, dear~ Your father and I think you should listen to your heart and return the toy. But! We'll offer to buy it from your classmate, at what it cost in the store when new. So if they really don't care, it will be yours after all. What do you think?

[idolpro]

Your daughter considers this, and then nods.

"But what if they don't want to give it back? I'll pay more than what it would cost at the store! It's valuable!"

[calmthefoxdown]

That's not a bad idea. Just don't let them name the price, otherwise they might try to charge you way more. A reasonably higher price, enough to be tempting, but not enough to give away that you want really it.

[knightceties]

Consider it a test of your negotiation skills~ Also important for a princess, you know.

[idolpro]

"Alright! I'll do it!"

Your daughter's temperament is now haggler.
