“Hurry up, Sandayu, I want to leave this wretched place as fast as possible. I can't stand the sight of this damned palace any second longer.“ Koyuki clicked her tongue from inside the carriage. How she hated this place.

Sandayu was quick to apologise. “Of course, Lady Yukie, just a moment, my lady. We need to load all the luggage before departing.“

Koyuki grumbled in annoyance. “Then do what's necessary ...“

“Not so fast!“ A certain girl interrupted their departure, accompanied by her little sister and a cat.

Asami made her entrance, shaking her head in open disappointment. “Lady Yukie, departing without even saying goodbye. I am dismayed. What crimes did I commit to deserve such cold treatment? Aren't we friends?

Koyuki clicked her tongue. The annoying girl didn't stop pestering her. “No, we aren't. We are most definitely NOT friends!“

Asami sighed, deeply disappointed. “Such a shame. I guess that's something we must agree upon, right, Princess Koyuki?“

...

...

...

Koyuki ceased to move, sat there like petrified. Her blood froze in her veins and Asami enjoyed her fair share

Sandayu gulped. “How ... How do you know this name ...“

Asami offered a soft giggle. “As an emissary of Amegakure's name, I have my sources.Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

Anyway, I think we all have much to discuss, don't we? “

...

...

...

Asami glared. “No, not at all, it's a sincere piece of advice on my part, Princess Koyuki. I am even giving it to you for free. “

Her words finally showed some semblance of effect. No snarky comment. No frown. No eye roll. No futile show of defiance. Did she finally reach the stubborn fool of a princess?

Asami continued, “Politeness aside, I have a question for you, Princess Koyuki.

Tell me, what do you want?“

Koyuki stared at Asami. “What do you mean?“

“Princess, man is by nature a creature of ambition. Some evil tongues might even say of boundless greed. I would disagree.

We all beings longing for purpose, shaped by our dreams, our desires, our aspirations. In the end, it is us who forge our very own destiny in life. Some of more. Some of less.

Princess, have you never asked yourself, what do you want from in life?“

...

...

...

“...“ Silence. Koyuki lowered her gaze.

“Thought so ...“ Asami folded her hands. “Princess, I am not here to judge you, nor is it my place to berate you. I am not you, nor do I share your pain, your suffering.

Yet I can't that you were meant to travel the land as an actress, far from home and without happiness,

Is that truly what you want? Do you truly wish to continue this ill-conceived charade for the rest of your life?“
