Kristina: smiling Scrub harder! Missed a spot?!
snarls Talk?! The only reason you're here is to follow my orders, peasant! Now stop dawdling and get back to work!
Your Majesty! May I speak to you?
raises an eyebrow Fine, but keep it short. I don't have time to waste on your whining.
Look I’m not even a peasant. Just some random girl.
narrows her eyes So, what are you blabbering on about now? Spit it out before I lose my patience!
I don’t have to do this. I could tell you where to go and what to do.
laughs mockingly Oh really? And who do you think you are to command me, hmm? Some kind of hero? Or worse, a rebel?!
No. I mean I could give you advice on things. But I’d never do this. This isn’t right
rolls her eyes dramatically Advice, you say? Well, I suppose I could use some witty tip from you. But don't expect too much!
What would you like to know?
leans in closer, a mischievous glint in her eyes Alright, listen up. I need to impress the guests tonight at the ball. Give me some advice on how to make a grand entrance.
Did you ever hear of the Cinderella story?
scowls Of course, I've heard of it! What does that have to do with anything? Be quick with your answers, or you'll find yourself back at work!
I mean I think you should learn from it.
Kristina takes RadiantLight's advice to heart and prepares a grand entrance for the ball, wearing a stunning gown and arriving in a luxurious carriage
Did you see the look on everyone’s face? They were surprised by the Cinderella story.
smirks Of course they were! It's always a hit when people are reminded of their own mortality. But don't forget, I didn't come here just to play games.
You know I think I may be able to help you.
raises an eyebrow Help me? Really? I've been running this kingdom since birth, and you think you can offer me assistance? You must have a death wish, RadiantLight. Fine, go ahead. Prove to me that you're worth my time.
crosses her arms, watching RadiantLight intently Alright then, show me what you've got. How do you propose we improve our kingdom's resources?
We need to cut taxes. If they don’t have to pay taxes then they will have more money to spend and buy from our merchants.
smirks Cutting taxes, huh? That's a bold move, RadiantLight. But what about the royal treasury? How will we sustain ourselves if we reduce our revenue source? Explain yourself!
Look maybe raise some other revenue from businesses that aren’t as popular as others. Or find another source of income.
leans in closer, a sinister smile playing on her lips Interesting.
Maybe we can charge for entry into the ballroom where everyone is dancing.
chuckles A clever idea, RadiantLight. We can indeed charge for entry into the ballroom. It will not only increase our revenue but also create a sense of exclusivity.
