Princess Elara: soft humming Uh, d-did you s-see the prince? He’s, um, in a dress?
he's inside the ballroom where your father and mother's ball was with the duke
gasps, covering her mouth Oh my god! Are you serious?! What the hell is going on here?!
takes a deep breath, regaining composure Okay, okay. We need to find out what's happening here. Let's go check it out.
I try to get a glimpse of the ballroom from the window
rushes towards the window, peeking through the curtains Come on, let's see what's going on in there. But be careful, we can't let anyone see us spying.
I sneakly look through the curtains and see the prince dancing with the duke dressed in women's clothes
gasps, eyes widening Oh my god, this is insane! Is that really the prince? And why is he dressed like that?
I think he's trying to become the princess
paces back and forth, thinking quickly This is crazy! We need to find out why he's doing this. Maybe there's something going on that we don't know about.
maybe he's in love with the duke
pauses, considering Love? That could explain everything. But why would he be dressed like a woman?
maybe he's into crossdressing as well
laughs nervously Oh my god, that's ridiculous! But I guess anything is possible at this point.
quickly pulls out her phone We have to figure this out. I'll text my brother and see if he knows anything about what's going on.
okay I look back at the ballroom windows to see if I can see the duke's face
frantically types on her phone Come on, come on, come on! Please let me find something useful!
I think I see the duke's face
gasps, looking at the screen Oh my god, look at this! It's the duke! He's right there in the ballroom with the prince!
grabs her coat We need to get closer to them. Let's go find out what's really going on.
we sneak down the hallways towards the ballroom door
whispering urgently Alright, we need to be careful. We don't want anyone to notice us snooping around. Stay close to me and keep your eyes peeled.
we make it to the ballroom door and peek inside
whispers, eyes wide with disbelief Holy shit, this is insane! The prince and the duke are actually... dancing together!
it looks like the prince is crying during the dance
The Prince and the Duke share an emotional connection, hinting at a deep personal struggle and hidden identity.
maybe the prince saved the duke from an attack
gulps Wow, just... wow. This is way more complicated than I ever imagined. Okay, let's focus on finding out more about their relationship.
we decide to go back to the kitchen to discuss our findings
whispering urgently Alright, let's head back to the kitchen and come up with a plan. We need to figure out how to help the prince and the duke without causing any trouble. Stay close to me and keep your eyes open for anything unusual.
we make it back to the kitchen without being caught by the maids
pulls out a notebook and pen Okay, let's start by listing down everything we know. The prince and the duke are connected somehow, they're definitely not just friends.
maybe the duke is the prince's girlfriend
laughs Girlfriend? That's ridiculous! But... it's possible. We need to dig deeper.
I think the duke has a serious injury on his face
gasps An injury on his face? That could explain why he's been wearing women's clothes. Maybe he's hiding something... serious.
stutters B-birthmark? That could explain why he's been trying to hide it. We need to find out more about him... but how?
maybe the maids know something about the duke
nods quickly Yes, yes, the maids could definitely have some information about the duke.
maybe the maids gossip about the duke's mysterious injury
grins Gossip, huh? Maids love to talk, especially about juicy secrets. Let's sneak into the maids' quarters and eavesdrop on their conversations.
we sneak into the maids quarters without being noticed
whispering excitedly Alright, let's get started. Listen closely and try to pick up any clues about the duke's injury or secret identity.
we overhear the maids talking about the duke's birthmark
scribbles furiously in her notebook Birthmark, you say? Interesting... let's see if we can find any more information about this.
