Part 35: Goon Playthrough - Part 35
Hell yeah girlfrien'.
He's such an intriguing man, I wish I could spend a little more time getting to know him, and today it almost sounded like he invited me here. Ah! There he is! Sitting in the same corner he sat in last time. Habit? Hm, looks like he's leaving. Wait, is he coming towards me?
Yes! I'm surprised you recognized me in the Town Square today.
Well, you were on my mind. Would you care to join me for a drink?
Yes. You came to mind after a recent discussion I had with the Prince.
Oh. Um, I'm flattered, I think? What were you talking about, exactly?
A candidate for wife, of course. Surely you've heard about the King's last wish.
Actually... I haven't.
According to the King's final wish, the Prince cannot be crowned until he's found a wife for himself. So the coronation is being postponed and every noble in the kingdom is trying to foist a daughter on him. It's been very tiring for him, as many of these women are groomed for looks alone. He is losing faith. But I think that the world still holds many bright and intelligent women, and you're a living proof.
Nothing can possibly go wrong with this plan involving a woman you barely know.
My apologies. The drink is making me more direct than is proper. These days, there's little to pass the time in my position, so I spend many hours here. I don't want to bore you with the small complaints of my life. And I apologize for being so curt with you when we met last time.
Yeah, sure. Blame it on the alcohol.
I understand. A lot happened, and it's no surprise if you weren't in the mood for discussion. Honestly, I should probably apologize for bothering you when you wanted to be left alone.
It wasn't a bother. I found the discussion very interesting. Listen, I know you asked about the Prince last time.
