Rejecting Destiny/Veronica: Brave Princess

Veronica: Brave Princess - C

Veronica

I was out for a walk just now... An Askran soldier gave me a very strange look. She took one glance at me... It was as if she had seen a ghost. And then she ran off... Is everyone here...scared of me? You don't think so? That's...kind of you to say. Thank you. The Veronica you know of the Emblian Empire... We aren't the same person. Even if people could look at me and instantly see that...would it really make a difference? Probably not... If people continue to mistake me for her, I won't hold it against them. In fact, I will not even mind. I suppose if everyone is as frightened of me as that solider was, I shouldn't bother trying to approach anyone... An invisible wall... Yes. It's as if there is an invisible wall, and it separates me from everyone else.

Veronica

How do people become close? Before I was summoned to this world...I lived the life of a princess. I didn't have to make an effort. Everywhere I went...everyone treated me like a friend. So my experience in having to meet people on their terms has been... lacking. In this world, I'm no princess. I am simply one of many Heroes, no different from any other. I can no longer count on attendants and servants as I have before... How do you suppose I should approach this new experience, 【Summoner】? You're going to...take some time to think about it? You'll have an answer when next we meet? Thank you... You really are quite kind. You look nothing alike, nor do you act alike, and yet...you somehow remind me of my brother. Perhaps it's your gentle aura that draws me to you.

Veronica

If I wish to become closer to others, I should simply...act normally? But my "normal" is that of a princess. It's far different from that of the common soldier. How does one act? You mean I just have to...greet people? Good morning... Good afternoon... And good evening? Yes, people have said these things to me before. But you're claiming these three simple phrases can bring me closer to others... Is greeting people in such a manner really what you consider normal? Hmm... The only person I have ever greeted in such a manner is my brother, and he and I are very close... So perhaps...if I treat others as I treat my brother, I can become very close to them. I understand. I will follow your advice. The morning has already passed, so I must now wait for the afternoon...

【Summoner】! Look! This flower... It's beautiful, is it not? An Askran soldier just presented it to me as a gift. It worked just as you said. I began greeting every person I passed, and they soon became friendly. People have once again begun to call out to me as if we were friends. And it's not only the soldiers. Prince Alfonse, Princess Sharena, even the Heroes are all treating me well. A simple greeting is such a strange thing. How can just a few words contain so much meaning? You are the one who afforded me this opportunity... So thank you, 【Summoner】. I no longer feel an invisible wall between myself and others... Nor do I feel a need for one. Everyone treats me as their ally and friend. I feel their camaraderie quite strongly. So I will lend my strength to those who have accepted me as one of their own. And that includes you most of all. This would not have been possible were it not for you.
