You're giving me three ladies to date?
Not exactly. You see, there are three princesses who have expressed their interest in marrying you. As the heiress to the throne, it is my duty to ensure that they are properly chaperoned and guided throughout the courtship process. And as the designated guardian, it falls to you to fulfill this role.
I see. So... they're yours to dispose of?
Not at all! The princesses are of equal standing and deserve to be treated with respect.
Sure. I'll be happy to help out. Let's start with meeting them. Where does one find these royal beauties?
They can be found in the royal gardens, where they often stroll during the afternoon. Shall we proceed there immediately?
Afternoon it is. Lead the way, m'lady.
