Talk to Allysse.

(She lets out a sigh as soon as he is out the door.) I need to tell you both something very important.
I'm a princess. Or... I used to be.

Kean

Then Milo is...
|
Allysse
|
The last prince of the kingdom.
His mother was a very prestigious noblewoman. I never met my own, but father had a love for dancers...

Father... The king told me that I was brought to court as a baby.
The queen raised me as her own, even when the other nobles gossiped and talked.
The men of the Pontiff's court were particularly convinced that I was a witch.

Allysse

(Allysse's gaze wanders to the window.) I have... a power.
I've never been hurt. I never scraped my knees, never had a cold.
Sometimes I would sit in my room and ask for the rain, and the rain would come, as if it heard me.
Still, it was peaceful. Mother protected me...
Until the uprising. I still remember the blood in the halls... There was so much.
The fighting started midday, and the floors were still wet when I carried Milo away that night.
We fled into the rain and mud with the Pontiff's dogs on our trail, but Milo...

(Tears well in the corner of Allysse's eyes.)
|
Allysse
|
I'm sorry, it still feels like it was yesterday.
The rest is... inconsequential. We escaped, and now we're here.
|
Kean
|
How did you escape an army?
|
Allysse
|
We had help from a kind sorcerer in the Pontiff's Court.
|
Allysse

That was 10 years ago, and Milo doesn't remember a thing.
I don't know if it was the shock, or just denial, but I'll take any small comfort I can get.
If I can just get Enzo to stop prattling on about destiny, we could have a peaceful life here.

(Her eyebrows furrow ever so slightly.)

Allysse

There are some things you can't run from, <Karok>.
(She looks past you to the door.) Keep an eye on Milo. He's not as strong as he thinks he is.
Please.
