[A young woman appears in the mirror, as per the usual. She's new, but doesn't look particularly bewildered or frightened. Instead, she looks determined, if a little nervous.]

This is a message...from Princess Estellise Sidos Heurassein to the Queen of Hearts. I would like to o-open diplomatic talks between the Empire and the Gardens! I--

[Her shoulders droop.]

I'm sorry. That isn't right. Please...call me Estelle.

[She perks up a bit and offers a shaky smile.]

I'm a client of the guild Brave Vesperia, and I need to find a way back to them. I know it's not the same as a formal invitation to peace talks from a princess, but please, if you could, this is very important to me. I can't promise anything from the empire, because this is my quest, not theirs. But I'll do whatever I can to repay you, when the time comes. So...return me to Brave Vesperia!

[She turns away, not realizing the mirror is still recording her, lets out a breath, and crouches to pet a cat.]

Yuri, Karol, Judith...I'm trying my best, I promise! Even without you. I won't be away for long.

You've been to different worlds?

That's pretty normal for demons of significant rank or unique character design, actually. Or humans with those elements, actually. I'm rather surprised you haven't.

Present location not included, of course.

Me...?

I lived in a castle until not very long ago!

... I see.

Guess it's no surprise given the name Princess.

[readitinabook.livejournal.com]

My name is Estellise. But I'd like to be called Estelle.

I am Beauty Queen Etna. Etna or Mistress for short.

*Yeeep, she went right there.*
