gestures towards a quieter corner of the ballroom Um, could we maybe talk somewhere a bit more private? There's something really important I need to tell you...
leads Stranger to a secluded corner Okay, so... takes a deep breath I've been working really hard to change my life and become stronger.
yeah I heard about your journey!
with determination Yeah, I left the palace and traveled to different kingdoms, learning new skills and gaining new allies along the way. It wasn't easy, but I needed to prove to myself and everyone else that I'm more than just a princess.
smiles brightly Thank you! It means a lot coming from you. But there's still one thing I want to achieve.
takes a deep breath Well, I've always dreamed of becoming a master in swordsmanship.
nods excitedly Thank you! I've already started training, but I need your help.
grabs Stranger's hand You see, you're a master swordsman! I want you to train me personally.
jumps up excitedly Yes! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I promise I'll work harder than ever before.
I smile I can’t wait to get started

I nod oh I know what you are capable of princess
grabs a sword and starts practicing her swings Alright, let's see what you've got! Show me your best move!
I pick up a sword and show her one of my moves
concentrates intensely, analyzing Stranger's move Hmm, interesting. I never thought of using a technique like that. Can you teach me how to counter it?
