Bruck: Darling! What a surprise! Did you lose your way to the peasants' quarter? Ha!
ShinShiny
Oh, yeah, I just wanted to... y'know, get some fresh air, outside the castle walls, see what the serfs are up to, you know?
Bruck: Ah, poor little rich thing, you've never seen the serfs before! Why ever did you keep your pretty little foot off the grounds?
ShinShiny
Oh, I uh, went on a trip around the world with my friend Puff the magic dragon! You've heard of him, right?
Bruck: Haha! The dragon from the fairytales? That one that eats humans? That was your friend?! You're still alive?
ShinShiny
Yeah, well, he's actually not a human-eating dragon. He's a Tintin fan!
Bruck: A Tintin fan? Well, that's a relief. And he doesn't eat humans? Well, that's even better!
ShinShiny
Actually, I may have lied about that last part....he loves a good lamb roast!
Bruck: He loves lamb roast!? So he's a man-eater too! So it's true! This friend of yours is a dangerous beast!
ShinShiny
Oh, don't worry. He's not that dangerous... unless you're a lamb!
Bruck: Hehe! You really should be careful who you make friends with. Maybe I should introduce you to my friend, the big bad wolf!
ShinShiny
I'd like to meet this big bad wolf! Is he a friend of your father, too?
Bruck: Oh no, he's much worse! I wouldn't recommend making friends with him! He's evil! He's the one who took my parents hostage and demanded a ransom!
ShinShiny
You don't say! What happened to them?
Bruck: They managed to get away, luckily. But the big bad wolf never gave up. For the past decade, he's been trying to kidnap me. But I always manage to escape.
ShinShiny
That's awful! How do you manage to escape from him?
Bruck: Well, for starters, I'm very good at fighting. I have a black belt in karate, and I can also use a sword quite well. I also have an M.A in psychology, so I can read his mind and know what he's going to do before he does it.
ShinShiny
That's amazing! Are you the best swordswoman in all the land?
Bruck: Well, I certainly have the skills to back up that claim. I won a gold medal in fencing at the World Fencing Championship in 2010. Also, I was the first woman to ever win a fight against the legendary European champion, Sigmund Zymunt.
ShinShiny
Well, I think you're better than him!
Bruck: Haha! Thanks, I guess. Although he was a really nice guy, and a formidable swordsman. It was an honor to face him.
