[Knightwing64]

Your parents would be mortified to know that one of your favourite pastimes was to catch rats with the cook's daughter. It had started as a dare. Gale had been assigned to stop the mice from entering the kitchens. The royal mouser, a man with a dozen cats, had been at his wit's end trying to get rid of the pests. Gale didn't think you'd do it, since you were so high-born. You had proven her wrong. After that, the two of you had spent many hours exploring the lower levels of the castle and disposing of the pests. An odd hobby, but strangely enjoyable.

An hour later finds you covered in dust, dirt and scratches. Gale has brought a small bag of food from the kitchens to enjoy. You sit down to eat the breakfast that she has brought, paying no mind to your dirty hands. Gale takes some of the food and begins to eat.

Touch her hand shyly while reaching for some food.
Lean over and kiss her.
Eat your breakfast.

Oh, it’s because I always go for the noble. It’s a cook only option. Interesting

A thrill of excitement goes through you as you feel her soft hand. She smiles at you as you pick up a piece of cheese and pop it into your mouth.
(Gale Relationship +3)

The breakfast slowly begins to disappear as you fill your stomachs.

"Mom says I should start thinking about my future," Gale says between bites.

Ask, "What do you want to do?"
Ask kindly, "You're a good cook. Won't you take over as head cook?"
Say coldly, "You're just a servant. Just do as you're told."

[Naturegirl1999]

Ask, "What do you want to do?"

[Knightwing64]

"I don't know," Gale says with a shrug. "My mom wants me to work in the kitchens, like her, but I don't know if I want that life."

"Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to live my own life," she adds. "Away from the castle and everything."

Every twelve year old in the world has probably had the same ideas, regardless of background and personal situation.

"I have to go," Gale finally says as she pops a last morsel of food into her mouth. "Mom will need help with the big banquet tonight."

You are also busy. You have lessons and should have left several minutes ago. Harmond, your tutor, will probably be anxious because you're running late. You hurry off to the library, giving Gale a quick wave before you go.

When you arrive at the library, Harmond is waiting for you. You have to respect the old man—he doesn't say a word about the condition of your clothing as you arrive. There are many books placed across the table in front of him. As a prince, you are expected to be well-versed in politics, economics, history, geography, heraldry, spellcraft, and religion. In addition to your academic studies, you have been taught to ride, hunt, play musical instruments, speak eloquently, and dance.

Your academic studies are your favourite.
Your music, diplomacy, and dance classes are your favourite.
You don't care for any of your studies, preferring to be doing something physical instead.

Btw, I would show stats when they are needed to make a decision in combat or etc. Basically, when they are actually relevant.

Harmond smiles proudly as you immediately fling open the books in front of you.
(History +10, Geography +10, Arcana +10, and Religion +10)

"Very good, Bubba," Harmond says after several hours of study. "Now, tell me what you know of the Consortium."

Say, "Demon worshippers."
Say, "Their compound is in Vernex, a city in the north."
Say, "You're the teacher; now stop being lazy and do your job."
Say knowledgeably, "A political and arcane movement for the increased allowance of demonic evocation."
Make up something.

[Naturegirl1999]

Say knowledgeably, "A political and arcane movement for the increased allowance of demonic evocation."

[Knightwing64]

That's correct!" Harmond says happily. "Although, historically, it has never been successful."

He explains some of the failed Consortium movements in the past for a few moments before continuing.
(History +3)

"The Consortium of Planewalkers is a group of mages who believe that demon summoning should be allowed across the land. They believe that demon labour should be used without regulation."

Harmond paces the front of the room as he lectures you about the history and current politics of the Consortium. He folds his hands behind his back and closes his eyes as he becomes lost in his own words.

"So, that's your teacher," the disembodied voice from your dream says.

You look around, but you don't see the speaker. Harmond doesn't seem to notice that you're distracted.

"I know that book," the voice says, referring to the tome in front of you. "Turn to the last page. There's map from the skilled cartographer Roxas. Tear it out and put it in your pocket. The map isn't entirely accurate, but it's close enough and it's beautiful. It will help you on your journeys."

The voice vanishes. You open the book, and sure enough, you see a gorgeous map of Daria.

Tear out the page and put it in your pocket.
Leave the map where it is.

[Naturegirl1999]

Tear out the map

[Knightwing64]

You quietly tear the page from the book without Harmond noticing.
(Geography +3)


The strange voice is gone and you are alone with Harmond once more. He continues to speak about the Consortium without having noticed that you weren't paying attention.

Listen intently as your tutor lectures you.
Ask rudely, "What's the point of all this?"
Stop listening and wait for your lessons to end.
