lorule[ For days, Hilda had listened on the conversations of various guests through this locket. Finally, she took her own communication locket and requested the audio mode to be turned on, before speaking. Her voice was gentle and serene, although she was speaking with an air of authority and confidence, one that may give away her royal origins to those accustomed to the way kings and queens speak. ]
Greetings. First of all, please allow me to introduce myself. I am Hilda, Princess and Sovereign of Lorule Kingdom.
I see many have already taken measures to explore this new world and defend our new homes. And on behalf of all those who cannot fight, I would like to address my thanks to the valiant heroes combating the creatures that threaten us. However, I believe a topic of importance has been eluded: our homeworlds.
Not a day goes by without my thought travelling to my Kingdom, and I believe we are numerous longing to see our worlds again. Our hosts call us honored guests and treat us with great respect. They would have us think our predicament is an enviable one. And indeed, few are those who would complain at the comforts we enjoy in this world. Yet it appears to me the reality of the situation is very different. As beautiful and pleasant as a cage may be, it is still naught but a cage.
[ She paused. ]
Furthermore, while today we are to fight mere monsters, tomorrow it is against each others we will have to fight. For it is our only hope to go back where we belong, or so we are led to believe. I know not where the truth lies. But I do know blindly believing what we are told would be a most grievous mistake.
I believe our duty lies first and foremost in protecting our worlds and going back to those who need us, independently from the duties we have been told are ours. Prioritizing anything above this task – including this war – would be the same as betraying our worlds and our dearest ones.
Hence, I would very much like to speak to all those who share in the desire to go back to their world, to all those who have no desire to partake in a war that is not theirs. It is my belief we should start taking action now to ensure we will find our way home, regardless of the outcome of the war. By working together, surely we shall find a way that doesn't involve bending to our hosts' will.
