I did not choose to be a prince. Nor did I choose to become ruler of my realm. In fact, there is little that I have chosen for myself. This includes my enrollment at this school. Why must I be bound by the whims of fate?

Perhaps Joshua had it right. From now on, I will choose what *I* want.

Other people have taken this philosophy to heart. Their decisions have been based on their own needs rather than the needs of others. I only have one life to live. Why must I waste it on people who do not truly appreciate my efforts?

What do you intend to do, Ephraim?

Pursue my dream of becoming a mercenary? Become as close as I want to be with my sister?

I haven't decided yet.

But maybe I might start by spending some time with you, Ike.

Oh, alright. When would you like to meet?

[regal_lance]

The privacy of your room would be nice...

[i_m_best]

Oh, my lord, what bothers you so?

[regal_lance]

You again with that passive insult. Nothing's bothering me. In fact, things are looking better than they were before.

[i_m_best]

Passive insult? Whatever do you mean?

Oh nevermind, Innes. Just keep to your affairs and I will keep to mine.
