You are a FAIR MAIDEN with a STRANGE STAR-SHAPED BIRTHMARK on your forehead.
As your parents are KING and QUEEN, you are also a PRINCESS.
Your name is MARIA.


...That sounds about right.

Your mother has implied that she wants you to do the laundry for some reason.

Please suggest an action.

Run away to have an adventure, inadvertently meeting a cute peasant boy who you take a strong liking to, telling him your name is "Mariana". Shortly after meeting him, get captured by the evil empire - getting the cute peasant boy arrested for kidnapping you. Once he escapes prison, he'll come after you to save you and (inadvertently) the rest of the world, because you belong to an obscure and time-forgotten ancient race of supremely powerful magic-wielding humans and are the only one who can stop the coming of the evil Empire's ancient evil god-hamster.

That'll show mother!

A good idea. She was always off in the head. Talking about how great it would be if I had siblings. Usually brothers.

You turn around and go back down the corridors of the castle-

Please don't narrate to me. I am aware of what I am doing.

...Maria finds that the door to the kitchen refuses to open, preventing her from blatantly disobeying her frivolous mother's intentions by baking a pie.

Instead of getting angry or voicing her discontent, Maria folds her hands over her lap with LADY-LIKE ETIQUETTE.

Maria patiently waits for further instruction.

What cute peasant boy? The servants here are very unattractive.

Nonetheless, Maria returns to her room. Which is locked.

Maria suspects her mother and the laundry has something to do with this. She gives the door a condescending glare, as if it could relay her large amount of distaste for the Queen's irritating shenanigans.

It is not painful! It is just color! So rude!

To prove her point, the bright red spots too florescent and concentrated to be called blotches and the blush clear as she trots off.

Maria's mother swoops in out of nowhere.

While Mother is indeed insane, the curiosity is rather rabid in me. Can't hurt to follow.

Maria and her mother walk briskly down the halls of the castle, descending at every stairwell until they reach a rather nice-looking tapestry at the end of the hall. A emerges from a door to the left.

That is my cousin Walter. Being 13 years of age, I am ripe for marriage, so father has been assembling suitors over the past four weeks. Walter is one of them. We are both equal on the fact we don't really want to marry each other. I wish I knew how he manages to eat so much but barely retains any weight.

"Ah! Hello Your Majesty, Maria!"

At least he has the manners to move the half-chewed food to his cheek so we didn't have to look at what he was digesting.

"Of course not. It's a mechanism in the castle."

Slightly reassuring.

>>70928
She stops at the end. Maria peers over her shoulder.

The room contains 12 caskets with silk pillows and bedding.

"...These caskets belong to your brothers."
"My what?"
"Your father always wished for a daughter, but no matter how many times we produced, it was always male. Twelve times. Your father went mad when I was pregnant with you, and did anything in his power to produce a female, using strange herbs. To ensure that you received all his land, he claimed if you were born a girl, he would kill all his sons."
"Father can't be that extreme."
"He was frayed at that time, darling. I am sure if they made no effort to take the land he would welcome them with open arms."
"What happened? Obviously these aren't filled."
"I told the youngest of the plan, as he was the most forgiving. I used flags as a signal for them, and knowing they had a sister, they fled."
"They're somewhere out there, then?"
"Yes. I miss them so."

This explains so very, very much.

Walter is like my brother (and it would be plenty more convenient for our friendship if he was). I do not approve of the idea we are 'cute together'.

Walter is trained in battle, of course, but I am not. I have yet to begin my lessons on war strategy, so I am essentially of no use in the event of a battle. Perhaps I can preform the age old technique of throwing dirt in their eyes.

>>71138
Mother stocks us well.
The load includes four casks of WATER, two weeks worth of FOOD, 500 GOLD PIECES, two SWORDS, a SMALL BOW with twenty ARROWS, and a LIGHT METAL SHIELD.

I assume by the way you shout random items those are of vague importance.

Yes.

The map...It's fairly straight-forward. The forest or the plains. It's faster to get to Haland than it does Walta, but Walta has the upper hand in being an enormous city. There are also two outposts on the way, one of them a war fortress.

It doesn't work with the rhyming pattern he's using. It requires adjusting.

It deserves a rain of salt
Shala, Shala
The man who meant no bother
Murdered without no fault
With water irony shall wash away
Shala, shala
And there shall be no greater day
Shala, shala."


The man seems amused by this and continues.

"So you see why you must
Shala, shala
It is no longer a problem of wrong or right
Shala, shala
The sword around her waist begins to rust
And the soldiers begin to take flight
If you do not you dance with death
Please rob him of his water
Shala, shala
With salt rob him of his water
Shala, shala."
