My sweet Princess : Lambert
Ivan : "good morning, Miss Yuki. Did you sleep well last night?"
Yuki : "yeah. i guess.."
i can't say i slept well, but compared to the previous night it was better
Ivan : "i am glad to hear it. About today.. as i must help prepare a speech, i cannot guide you"
Yuki : "a speech?"
Ivan :"a speech to the public. to be frank, the heirs will be making appeal..to the throne. As many people
will be there, it's vital to the future king"
yuki : "and that is today?"
Ivan : "yes. Master Lambert's speech is slated for the afternoon"
Yuki : "is that so.."
Ivan : "what shall you do, Miss Yuki?you have permission so you may freely wander the palace grounds"
i'd be bpred just staying in my room and so i decided to explore the palace like he said
Ivan : " i shall come find you before the speeches begin. it's a good chance to learn of master Lambert,
so i hope you will listen"
Yuki : "i understand"
Ivan : " thank you. then i will see you later"
(a speech..) A speech to the public. i can't imagine it at all. i'll just try to stay out of the way and quietly tour the grounds. (where should i go first..)
??? : "hey, something up?"
Yuki : "ah.."
Alvah : "you're just standing there. you alone today? where's Ivan?"
Yuki : "um, he said something about a speech so he seems to be busy"
Alvah : "ah, i see. so that's why you're alone. well, this's a good chance. we didn't talk much yesterday.
and i wanted to. if you'll listen to me, then i'll show you around!"
Cheezem : "..alvah, Brother. we were just told to stay put until the speeches"
Alvah : "just a bit won't hurt, will it?"
Cheezem : "..i'll be scolded"
Alvah : "okay, fine"
Cheezem : "i'm also interested in you, but.. we can't today. i'm sorry"
Yuki : "n-no, it's okay.."
Alvah : "sorry. see you next time!"
Prince Lambert had no interest in me and rejected me, but.. (though they're all princess, they're all so different..) thinking it strange, i saw them off and started down the hall again.
(..what do i do?) as i walked about, as expected, i got lost. looking for people, i went into a nearby room, but.. ( for just room, its so big..)but if this's were someone's bedroom, this could get sticky. (let's get out of..huh?) i got distracted by big stacks of paper scattered on the table
Yuki :"..."
(for some reason i'm drawn to it. like i want to clean it up) so i took up the papers and began to organize them
Lambert : "what are you doing in my room?"
Yuki : "!"
Lambaert : "you have some nerve to come in here without permission. don't lie. why are you here and why
are you holding my speech? depending on what you say, be ready to accept punishment"
Yuki : "i-i'm sorry. i got lost walking in the palace..!"
Lambert : "..how do you get lost indorrs? i will never understand a commoner's actions"
Yuki : "it's because i'm a commoner. we don't live in house this big.."
Lambert : "hmph.. i see. well, it's fine. you just looked out of curiosity, right?"
Yuki : "not curiosity,but.."
question :
such penmanship[+briliant]
i can't read it
it's too hard
Yuki : "i thought the penmanship was pretty"
when i said what i really thought, Prince Lambert's face grew pink
Lambert : "pretty? it's just normal, isn't it?"
Yuki : "no, no men i know can write so beautifully"
Lambert : "it's vexing to be compared to commoners. there's no prestige if a king has poor writing.
A country's valor rides on it"
Yuki : "on such a small thing..?"
Lambert : "i'm just saying that such a thing is possible. it may be small to you sommoners, but there are some
who do not think so. so no matter how small, we cannot show any imperfections. as a member of
the royal family, we have a duty to be perfect"
(is that how it is..)
Lambert : "..i have no time and yet here i am chitchatting. i'm busy. so get out already and i'll ignore your breaking and entering"
i thought it was a good chance to talk with him, but.. that was naive. it'd be a problem if i were punished, so i left quitely. the hour of the speeches drew close and i was in trouble. Ivan was supposed to come get me and he hasn't come at all. He wasn't one to forget a promise. so i thought i'd start for the meeting hall myself. (but if..i got lose that.. would be even more trouble..) the palace was unbelievably big. but i couldn't just sit here. and so i set out. and then..
*bang!*
i ran right into someone in front of me. the force of it sent the papers he was holding up into the air
Yuki : "i-i'm sorry"
Man : "aah, don't worry about picking them up"
(huh? this guy..)
Man : "i'm in a hurry, so pardon me"
i knew him from somewhere, but he left before i could think of where (who is he..he was wearing armor, so maybe he's a soldier or something? )
Nagit : "Miss Yuki"
Yuki : "ah..um..Prince Nagit?"
Nagit : "ivan was busy so i came to get you instead. were you okay?"
Yuki : "yes, i'm fine. I'm sorry, making you come all this way.."
Nagit : "no, i asked to go. i've wanted to speak with you. but this is no time for pleasantries"
Yuki : "did something happen?"
Nagit : "the speech scripts have been lost. Everyone's looking, but..anyway, let's get to the hall. There's no
time left before the speeches start"
servant : "i-i am sorry. they were right here a moment ago.."
Lambert : "forget apologies, just find them! we're out of time, at this rate, it'll turn into a bunch of worthless
speeches"
Nagit : "Lambert, my brother"
Lambert : "Nagit.. the script are still lost. And no leads either. ..oh you're here too. i don't have time for you.
just stay outta the way"
even so, i'm the sort of person who wants to help
question :
think
look around
try adlibbing? [+brilliant]
Yuki : "it's not going to be found now, so why not try adlibbing?"
Lambert : "it won't be, but we can't do that. it was my perfect speech. Missing even one letter makes it no
longer perfect. just why would it disappear like that?"
Lambert : "there's no way a bundle of papers could just vanish!"
(a bundle of..?) that guy i ran into. He was holding some papers like they were important. What if? Betting on that slim chance, i decided to find that guy. Thanks to running around with all my might, i found him. But there was no way he would listen to me
Balam : "what is it?"
Yuki : "ah.."
That was when the minister beside him looked into it for me
Balam : "...He confessed. it's just as you said"
Yuki : "then the scripts.."
Balam : "they were torn up and thrown into a bin in a servants room. it seems we were too late.."
The scripts were right where he said they'd be
Yuki : "this is terrible"
The once nobly written speech was in an atrocious state. There was no way it could be used like this. ( He may be haughty and unlikeable, but he did his best with this speech..) i couldn't stand it so i gathered up the pieces and tried to put them together.( He might refuse it since it isn't perfect, but...) i just had to do it
Lambert : "This is...I heard from Balam that it'd been torn apart, but you fixed it?"
Yuki : "i tried.. But it's hard to read...."
Lambert : "No, it's fine. I had a replacement, but i'll use this"
Ivan : "master lambert, it's time"
Lambert : "Alright. seems i'm in your debt. We'll have to talk again later"
As he said that, Prince Lambert took the crumpled script to the podium. None of the earlier chaos could be felt in his perfect speech. The people's fierce cries of support surrounded the area and i felt like i understood why Ivan said Prince Lambert was wonderful
Impressed, as i watched the podium, I heard Prince Jun and Melchiorre"
Melchiorre : "It seems the next king will be Lambert. Listen to the people
Jun : "That will be very regrettable for a certain someone. Since he is hoping for a more easily
manipulated prince
Yuki : "...?
(What did they mean by that...?) The cheers continued and Prince Lambert smiled and waved
