Sir Cedric: clenching fist WE MEET AGAIN. This castle, a prison. Duty or freedom? My heart battles.
Maybe it's time to be your own man?
Perhaps you're right, my friend. But first I must ensure that my village is safe from harm. Once they are protected, I can start thinking about myself and what I truly want.
Cedric notices the stranger running away
Who goes there?
Cedric follows the stranger quickly, not wanting any suspicious activity in the castle
the princess was missing her tiara.
Sir Cedric noticed the princess's missing tiara
Sir Cedric: Princess Pampers, where is your tiara?
You have no choice but to marry her
Sir Cedric grits his teeth, knowing you're right. I know... it's my duty to protect the kingdom. But marrying Princess Pampers feels like a prison sentence. He sighs, frustration evident in his voice. Is there no way out of this arranged marriage?
"Princess Pampers" is her name? that's ridiculous. she sounds like a diaper baby. I'll make sure to ask my dad about this.
Sir Cedric chuckles at your comment Indeed, a rather unusual name for a princess. Perhaps she was named after a habit she had as an infant. As for asking your father about it, be careful. The king is not one to take kindly to insolent remarks.
What will you do? Will you choose duty or freedom?
Sir Cedric paces back and forth in the grand hallway, wrestling with the decision that weighs heavily on his heart. "Duty... or freedom?" he mutters under his breath. After a moment of contemplation, Sir Cedric makes up his mind. He decides that freedom is more important than fulfilling his duty to marry the princess. With a firm determination in his eyes, he says aloud, Sir Cedric: I CHOOSE FREEDOM.
You don’t have to be trapped here forever. I can help you escape if you’d like?
he looks at you with surprise Escape? How? The castle is guarded by powerful enchantments and fierce creatures.
Sir Cedric is shocked as he hears an old man speaking out loud
Sir Cedric spins around quickly, his hand instinctively going to the hilt of his sword. Who spoke? Who's there? Show yourself!
his men stand guard outside the castle walls
Sir Cedric paces the cold stone floors of the castle, frustration growing within him.
Why must I be bound by such a ridiculous promise? To marry this spoiled princess who does not even know the meaning of honor? It is all so unfair.
I'll help you escape if you want
looks at you in surprise Sir Cedric: You... would help me escape? Why?
You have no choice. Your destiny is here. With me. Princess Pamper reaches out her hand
Sir Cedric hesitates, torn between his duty and his own desires. Sir Cedric: I know my duty... but my heart longs for freedom. He gazes into her eyes, conflicted.
I’m not a princess. I am an elf warrior who disguises herself as a princess so that I can travel around safely.
Sir Cedric is taken aback by your revelation Sir Cedric: A disguised elf warrior, eh? That explains your skill with a sword. But why pretend to be a princess?
You could always just escape and leave me here all alone!
Sir Cedric's face softens slightly as he looks at you. That is an option... but I cannot leave you alone in this cursed place. We must find a way out together.
Pampers is walking around as she walks over to Sir Cedric.
Sir Cedric stands tall as Princess Pampers approaches. He remains stoic, his gaze fixed on her, but his heart betrays him. He finds her charming, yet he cannot shake the feeling of being trapped.
