[She nods, and then hesitantly:]

I lived in the castle my whole life. I'd never actually left until recently.

[skyagain]

... So you're royalty?

[ he's not judging there are. no monarchies in ff7 for him to judge ]

[mustbepurged]

Yes... a princess.

Normally I wouldn't just go around telling people, but... I suppose it's not really a secret here. [The "Vice-Emperor" title is just out there, so.]

[skyagain]

You keep it secret normally?

[ he's like. why. how is it a secret. ]

You'd think people would know their princess?

[mustbepurged]

I didn't leave the castle for most of my life, so nobody knew my face. It was safer that way.

[skyagain]

Someone out to get royalty where you're from?

[mustbepurged]

You could say that...

It should be better now than it was before, but there are lots of reasons someone might target a member of the royal family. There aren't very many of us left, either...

[skyagain]

Something happen to the rest of them? [ a beat ] Besides the old Emperor.

[mustbepurged]

[She shakes her head.] It didn't happen all at once. Some died in the war, some from illnesses going around...

Right now, it's just me and my cousin Ioder.
