Princess Knight bursts into the audience chamber of the castle, disrupting a meeting of The Queen and several of her courtiers.
>Mother, we must marshal the troops, the kingdom is facing a crisis of unparalleled magnitude!
>Rooster has gone missing and I suspect the ogress Lillith is responsible
>the smell? I was forced to endure many trials on my journey back to the castle, but I assure you I faced them all with the grace and dignity that befits a princess
>none of that matters though, we must save Rooster!
>who’s Rooster? we-we’ve talked about her before…
>*in a subdued voice* julia
>MY FERST WOT?!
>w-we haven’t the time for such jests, I don’t think you grasp the gravity of the situation
>(Mother’s mental condition is deteriorating more rapidly than I had anticipated. My succession to the throne is becoming ever more imperative)
>s-save Rooster myself?
>she’ll appreciate the gesture?
>I… I suppose
>a princess must tread her own path after all
>right then, I’m off
>no time for a bath
>I’ll have to take solace in the knowledge that the noxious peasants I encounter will reek worse than I do
As the princess leaves the castle Senator Creampuff discreetly places a finger on his bulbous nose, a sign for two of the queen’s guard to follow the oblivious girl.
