The Beginning of Adventure?

[artemis_royal]

Oh, my! A magical storybook? This sounds exciting!

I found this book on my bed this morning, though I have never seen it before. The maids and servants all claim to not have put it there, and I don't believe they would lie about that, unless with great reason. Perhaps it's a present from Father, and he doesn't want me to know! Hee hee, if he asks

Ah! It's you!

[artemis_royal]

M-me?

[la_vie_en_jaune]

Princess Natalia! Much loved by the people, accomplished in the Lanvaldear archery style, notable hunter, wise ambassador and formerly betrothed (the other party having, er, disappeared under mysterious circumstances).

It's hard not to hear about you. ^__^

[artemis_royal]

O-oh my, you know all of that?

I... I'm afraid I can't say the same, miss...?

[la_vie_en_jaune]

Oh, you wouldn't know me. I'm just a poor messanger. You can call me Maora!

Why haven't you thought about him as much recently?

[artemis_royal]

It is nice to meet you, then, Maora!

I... I suppose one reason is because I have been so busy lately. And then there is the matter of my marriage. My father would like me to find a different suitor...

But, oh! I... I shouldn't be bothering you with my problems.

[la_vie_en_jaune]

You're not bothering me with anything. I'm the one who asked after all ^___^

So, you're really going to pick someone else huh.

[artemis_royal]

Yes. I will be coming of age soon, and father wishes me to choose. It is my duty to find a king for fair Kimlasca.

[la_vie_en_jaune]

Hmm, any prospects yet? ^___^

[artemis_royal]

There were a few princes and nobles Father wanted me to visit when I have the time. But I haven't seen anyone that caught my fancy yet...

[la_vie_en_jaune]

Like who? ^___^

[artemis_royal]

Let me see... There was Prince Fakir and Prince Maguri. Oh, and Sir Ichinomiya's son... Yoshitaka, I believe. Yes, I think those are the three primary people I am to visit this time.

[la_vie_en_jaune]

O.o;

I wish you a lot of luck then. Each of those will be a, hm, how do I say this... challenge in their own way.

^_________^

[artemis_royal]

A... A challenge?

Oh... I hope they won't dislike me...

[la_vie_en_jaune]

Well, Prince Fakir doesn't seem to like anybody. At least, that's what people say. I've seen otherwise...

Prince Maguri is just... well. An idiot.

And Yoshitaka ran away from home. ^___^

There are your challenges, fair princess!

[artemis_royal]

Oh my, that does sound difficult...

And... Yoshitaka ran away? I... I wonder how I am to find him.
