>>5144453>I heard something from Chrem about being a goddaughter, why did you pick her of all mons?King Slow's smile drops, and is replaced by a stern look.
"You come to me today, on the day my Arceusdaughter's is to be married..."
*cutaway to Chrem and IronQuill at the altar officiated by a Pawniard priest*

>>5144454>"Where is Chrem?""In the palace chapel. I SUGGEST you leave her to her matrimony."
>>5144456>Explain why the scroll's important to you and clarify as to its fate after we show it to you."I desire all forms of ancient knowledge, for the betterment of all Pokékind. Some 'mons cast away the past in disgust, unable to realize its necessity to create the future. I will not take the scroll from your possession unless necessary to preserve it. I presume you have been good stewards of it so far?"
>>5144457>"How and WHAT do you know about ou--, the human world?""I know that you are all human, or at least have enough knowledge to imitate the behavior of one perfectly. I've studied your culture long enough to recognize your mannerisms when I see them. I have never been to the human world, though I know enough to fill a library of information about it. In truth, I do own a library, ever-growing with the knowledge of our two worlds."
*The shellder within Slowking's lap stretches its tongue in a yawn, and settles back into his (owner's?) lap*
>>5144459>Vee speaks up and asks a question to the king. "What is your connection to the Cherrim named Chrem?""I will answer no more questions about my blossom. For your sakes, never lay a finger on her again, no matter how she may tease you."
>>5144461>"Thank you. How do you and your guards know so much about the human world, enough to know one o- erm, what I assume is their language?""The royal family and I have scoured this world for knowledge of humanity's past, and the past of the Pokémon who lived among them, for many years. There was so much lost to the mists of time since The Event... *King Slow's eyes waver, and almost become watery before he recovers himself* But together, we have recovered much. Entire libraries, factories, museums, armories... The list goes on. We have not looted them, but guarded and studied them, even repairing old technology if possible. It is only natural we should learn the languages of the past to better understand it."
>>5144464>"King, the scroll is of such importance, we can't just leave it anywhere, so i might ask, how is the palace built? Specifically, what keeps it up as it seems like it's made of the finest, smallest sand on the world?"Ah, it seems there are indeed wise individuals amongst this guild; However, a king cannot give up all of his secrets so easily." 1/2
