conversations.value:  Philine returns to the Imperial Castle after parting with Claire and Rae. She entrusts her bag to a servant and began the walk back to her own room, in a good mood. Claire’s words had struck a chord with her and still rang fresh in her mind. She felt like there was something even someone like her could do. She felt like real change could come.

conversations.value:  Hildegard Eichrodt was a government official. She had silver hair and red eyes, and she wore a monocle, something seldom seen on a woman. Though she seemed cold and unfriendly at first, she was actually quite kind. In fact, they’d first gotten to know each other when she helped her find her lost cat.

conversations.value:  "Huh? Y-you can tell?" Philine's hands flew to her cheeks. She had been smiling this entire time without realizing.

conversations.value:  "R-really? How embarrassing…" How silly of me, Philine thought. But still, she held on to the spark Claire had given her.

conversations.value:  "What happened? Would you mind telling me?"
conversations.prefix: Hildegard:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "The truth is…" Philine told Hilda of today’s events: the novel confectionaries she received, the wonderful conversation she’d had with Claire, and even how she felt like they might be friends now. Philine was surprised to hear the passion in her own voice—she must really have wanted to tell someone about all this. "And that’s what happened today. Do you think there’s something even someone like me can do?"

conversations.value:  "Wh-what? Why?" Philine was confused.

conversations.value:  "That girl is from the Bauer Kingdom. It could cause problems if you spent too much time with her."
conversations.prefix: Hildegard:

conversations.value:  "Problems? Claire isn’t a bad person."

conversations.value:  "That may be true, but she’s still the hero of a revolution, and you’re the princess. You can’t be certain she didn’t approach you with an ulterior motive in mind."
conversations.prefix: Hildegard:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  Her words surprised Philine. She was prone to forgetting she was, in fact, the imperial princess. She’d lost count of how many times people had approached her with hidden intentions, to the point that she dreaded dealing with people altogether.

conversations.value:  "Claire is different. She actually listens to what I have to say."
conversations.prefix: Philine:

conversations.value:  "That could just be what she wants you to think. What if she’s taking advantage of your weakness?"
