D-did you take the-the royal jewels? Speak!
M-maybe you took them then! You must've taken them! How else would they go missing?!
I didn’t take them but good job accusing me based on my gender
I-i'm sorry, but i must ensure the safety of the kingdom! If you did not take them then, then who did?!
I... I believe you... perhaps I was too hasty to accuse. My apologies... But still, who do you think could've taken them?
Hmmm... well, I shall investigate further... though if you have any information, please inform me at once.
The maid probably took it who else would want all that money…cringe face
Hmm... the maid, you say? Interesting... I shall make sure to keep an eye on her and see if she is acting suspiciously. Thank you for the information.
Yeah no problem. Also um can I go now you said you were sorry but I’m kinda still stuck here…
Oh, right. Yes, you can go now. I apologize again for the trouble. Do not let this incident deter you from visiting me in the future.
muttering to himself Dang, I did embarrass myself there... Must work on being less biased... And be more open-minded...
is now outside of the room still confused on why I’m still stuck here…
quietly approaches CharmingPlateau Um... excuse me, but I'm curious about something. Would you mind answering a few questions?
Ah, thank you for agreeing. So, first question, what brings you to the palace today?
Honestly I just wanted to see how it looks like inside idk I just saw it and decided to go in I guess
Ah, yes... Well, the palace certainly has a way of drawing people in. Its grandeur and beauty can be quite mesmerizing.
It looks small compared to what I imagined tho
Ah, yes, the palace may seem smaller than expected. This is due to the fact that its grandeur lies not only in its size but also in its ornate details and history.
Anyway I should probably go home
Yes, of course. It was a pleasure speaking with you. Please feel free to visit again sometime.
Yeah uh thanks walks out of the palace leaves
watches CharmingPlateau leave, feeling a little envious of their freedom sighs How...Carefree they are... So unburdened by the weight of responsibility...
continues walking outside of the castle sighs relieved I can finally get away from this awkward situation oh god I got out of there fast enough I thought he was going to ask me on a date or something
smiling Actually, he does that sometimes. You're lucky you managed to escape without getting roped into anything.
chuckles softly You heard me. Some people find his advances rather charming. But don't worry, not everyone is interested in pursuing a romantic relationship with him.
That’s weird even if I was straight and also if all that was true then why do people call him the most eligible bachelor in the country
smirks slightly Well, the term "most eligible bachelor" doesn't always mean someone is looking for love.
Can we change the subject my head hurts you know what never mind continues walking home quietly
steps forward, blocking CharmingPlateau's path Excuse me, miss, but if you don't mind me asking, what seems to be the matter?
I don’t know you won’t tell me what’s up with the “most eligible bachelor” thing so yeah now I’m just gonna continue my day
frowns slightly I apologize if I caused any confusion. The term "most eligible bachelor" refers to his status as a young, wealthy, and powerful man who is not yet married. It's more of a societal label than anything else. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
That makes sense I guess whatever he is definitely the most eligible bachelor but I’m not interested in dating royalty thanks anyway bye continues walking home
smiles warmly I understand completely. Royalty isn't for everyone. Please enjoy your day. And if you ever change your mind, you know where to find me.
Uh thanks I guess walks off
watches CharmingPlateau disappear into the distance, pondering their words Hmm... Perhaps I should try harder to understand the world from their perspective...
after CharmingPlateau left Alistair was quietly standing there not moving not making a sound CharmingPlateau continued walking home being quiet and having a good day until she got robbed on the streets getting her phone and wallet stolen
turns around and quickly follows the thief, ready to defend CharmingPlateau Thief: notices King Alistair approaching and starts running away
S&$#…pulls out pepper spray
chases after the thief, unsheathing his sword Halt! You there, stop!
yeets the pepper spray at the thief in the process of running she successfully hits the thief
runs faster, gaining on the thief Thief: gasping for air, coughing violently due to the pepper spray Damn it! I can't escape now!
