Master!

Ah, Princess, it's been a while.
Are you in good health?

Yes. Master, you look
quite well, yourself.

It seems you've traveled to a great
many places since last we met.

Yes! I've seen and heard so many things...
it's been an amazing experience.

But was that experience really
necessary in order for you to
take the imperial throne?

What do you mean...?

You've been cavorting about with people
of questionable character, without any
regard to proper behavior or principles.

Questionable character, huh...

Have you given any thought to whether
or not these have been the right actions
for a candidate to the imperial throne?

But Master, you said that I needed to
have a wide range of experience...

There's nothing wrong with
broadening your horizons.

The problem is your own actions.

My own...actions...?

It's a question of whether or not you've
been conducting yourself in a manner fitting
of the sacred role of empress!

I'd like you to reexamine the actions that you
yourself have taken since you left the castle.

And consider whether or
not those were truly the
correct actions to take.

What a self-righteous old geezer...

I didn't notice that attitude the last time
we met him. Is he always like that?

Yes, Master Drake has always been very...strict.
I'm pretty used to it, though...

...But really, he might
just be the reason that
I'm traveling with you.

I mean, I want to prove myself to him...

That's just a guess, right?

I'm sorry, actually...

No, it's fine if you're just guessing. It's true
that you want to prove yourself to him, right?

Yes.

All right, then you should set him aside and
give him a piece of your mind someday!

Okay.
