Selena

It's nice to meet you. I am Selena Slavica, you can call me Selena.

I hope you don't mind meeting in such an informal way. As the queen of a country, I should be more cautious. But as a friend, I don't think I need to be too formal.

Your choice

Hello, Selena.

It is a pleasure to have new friends like you.

Selena

You really like to talk to people like rumors say.

As far as I know, you have a connection with each faction and maintain a good relationship with them...

I have to say that this is a very clever approach.

From the moment the contract is concluded, we are destined to stand together.

Becoming friends will be more beneficial to fighting than staying strangers.

In my opinion, a tightly integrated team is more advantageous.

I think, if we can, before we get to know each other better...

Let's have a sincere conversation to make introductions and also to lay a good foundation for our relationship.

I hope this bold idea doesn't make you feel embarrassed.

Your choice

I think this is a good step.

I'm a bit surprised...

Selena

It's great that we can reach a consensus straight from the start...

Let's get started then!

Sorry... This is how I usually do things. If possible, I would like to see how you do things...

The more disagreements that arise, the better you can tell what the other person thinks and your own shortcomings.

Let's start.

Although I am titled a princess, at the end of the day, just the heir of a humble little country.

The power gained from rights is nothing compared to the influence of being a Radiant, so I am mostly operating as a Radiant.

What about you? Leader, how did you get involved with the dream and the real world?

Your choice

I am just someone looking to answer the questions in their heart.

I am just someone who wants to contribute to the world.

Selena

It seems like your heart is very clouded.

No matter how dark the night is before dawn, the light of dawn is inevitable.

I hope you find the light that will disperse your heart's cloud.

You've gotten so far with such a simple view. Your perseverance is really admirable.

But sometimes, that harder the question, the simpler the answer.

At first, I just wanted to protect a country's peace. But then, as I discovered the unrest in the world, the sober reality hit me.

The whole world is connected. When fate falls on you, no one can escape. Rather than turning a blind eye, we should take the initiative and attack.

That is probably why I was selected by the Lens.

Your choice

How were you selected by the Lens?

What lens was this?

Selena

It was a very surreal feeling. I was surprised by Miyuki's description of the dream world. In my heart, it felt like I had been expecting it...

When I was lost, there was a faint light leading me forward. When the light and I became one, the fog lifted.

Protect my country, protect the world. Fight for the survival of the real world with chivalry!

A lens from the famous monarchy, Elizabeth I.

She is a monarch that I admire. Her spirit can be condensed into a lens. It's probably the best form of recognition in the world.

I am curious about your Spirit Lens. But since the situation is still unclear, we shouldn't discuss it in public.

I would prefer to fight side by side in the future to further understand you and to personally find out more about the lens.

Your choice

It seems I can't hide my strength.

Let me see what answer you'll come up with.

Selena

You have hidden strength? That is unexpected.

But I am even stronger! Needless to say, I look forward to our next battle!

As the princess, learning to govern the country is a necessity... So, I'm great at reading people.

Please look forward to the day I reveal the answer.

It was a pleasure meeting you today. I'm honored to have spoken with you.

However, I would like to get to know you better. I hope to hear more of your stories the next time we meet.

2. Date 2

Selena

Afternoon tea is the most important and relaxing part of the day. I'm happy that we can share this time together.

This place is sunny and the smell of the grass reaches the bottom of my heart.

Your choice

I heard chocolate parfait goes better with black tea.

The wind is a bit noisy today...

Selena

This high-caloric pairing sounds interesting, but it's just another way of lying to myself.

Black tea can balance out the fat from the chocolate.

But as a Radiant, you must always maintain combat readiness.

Yes, I can feel the footsteps of danger getting closer.

I have to say, Leader, your arrival gives us some relief.

I am very honored to be able to fight side-by-side with someone of your potential.

If I may be so bold, I recently encountered some problems.

Do you have a moment to listen to them?

Your choice

Do tell.

Princess problems?

Selena

Seems like you really are as understanding as the legends say.

Many partners have told me that if I chat with Leader occasionally, I will receive various rewards.

Even a princess has problems. Is that strange?

Hidden by different social roles... A princess is the same as any commoner.

Everyone has their own problems.

The truth is, Nightmares have appeared in my country.

I was rotating between seeking help from SEED and training Radiants of my country. As the princess of a country, there should be no hesitation...

If you were me, what would you do?

Your choice

I think asking for SEED to help is better.

I think letting them grow on their own is better.

Selena

You think so too? Knight Angela once told me that a new Radiant needs strong and positive guidance--otherwise they may go astray.

Nightmares are good at confusing people. That's the reason I'm leaning towards asking for SEED's help.

Yes... Even though this is an extremely risky route, it is through danger that the best knights are born!

Not only do I have to solve the problems at hand, I also have to consider the future of the country.

You are truly a Leader. You're always brave and determined.

Of course, there are many details I need to weigh... But not only have you given me advice, but also the courage to make a choice.

I'll make a decision as soon as possible.

Your choice

Have you never asked Miyuki this question?

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Selena

Actually, I have asked before and Miyuki agreed with the latter option. She thinks it is important to centrally train and enhance the region's forces.

If external forces are overused in the beginning, the situation may become more complex.

I don't know why, but when I heard you say it, I suddenly felt relaxed...

After I became an adult, I started solving various problems by myself.

It's valuable having someone who can listen and give opinions to me when I encounter a problem.

Ah... Sorry. It seems like every time we meet, I ask a lot of questions.

Maybe it's because I'm anxious to communicate with you on a deeper level.

As we will fight side-by-side, I can't help getting to know more about you.

Your choice

Don't worry about it. When we have these conversations, I understand your thoughts better.

Let's try something more relaxing next time.

Selena

Really? Leader, you seem especially good at sympathizing with others.

The mind of a person is limited. Too many thoughts and you will hesitate. The greedier you are, the more dangerous it will be.

That's why I don't want much, as long as I can protect those I care about!

Really? I look forward to it.

I will try to adapt to your communication style.

Another meeting that I didn't want to end. Memories that will be cherished.

Every talk with Leader is rewarding... Shall we call it a day?

See you next time, Leader.

3. Date 3

Selena

Long time no see, Leader. I wanted to invite you to a coffee shop...

But I thought about it and thought you might be able to relax here.

Your choice

Do you like it here?

You seem much more relaxed than before!

Selena

I can't say that I like it at the moment, but Miyuki told me that I can meet more Radiants here and learn more about the dream world.

She thinks I need to interact with more people to get closer to normal people.

Really? I don't really feel that way.

But now that you mention it, I seem to feel more at ease than before!

Uh, I actually have a question... Leader... Have you ever considered... love?

What I mean is... Love might have a slight effect in battle...

Ah... Never mind. I'm not good at asking this. It was actually Miyuki who wanted me to ask...

Your choice

I can't quite put it in words...

Why is Miyuki curious about this?

Selena

Ah, So you're really...

No, no. My point was, you don't seem like you would fall in love easily. It would be better to focus on the dream world for now.

Yes, that's the truth.

I'm sorry but... Miyuki actually made a bet with some friends...

I was there as well... So I...

Of course... I can't tell you how I bet.

Ah, my question was so rude...

It is so comfortable here and makes me become less strict with myself... No, Catherine! You only have yourself to blame!

In exchange, you can ask me a personal question. I will answer truthfully.

Your choice

Mind if I ask whether you have someone you like?

Eh, okay... What's your type?

Selena

There are lots of people I like. My family, my people, and people who have been helping me, like Miyuki...

Of course, I also like you very much. That's why I choose to follow you.

...However, if you mean the romantic kind of like... Sorry, it seems a bit out of line to discuss this...

When I was young, I would fantasize about a prince defeating a dragon and coming over the mountains for me, like in a fairy tale.

Unfortunately, there are no evil dragons or princes in the real world, only female knights.

Now, I look forward to meeting someone who is supportive and will work together with me to protect.

The power of the dream world is pressing against the reality. Perhaps in the future...

In the near future... there will be a great disaster...

So if there is someone who can go forth with me, side-by-side, it would be good.

Your choice

Selena, you look cute when you're serious.

When disaster strikes, we can only do our best.

Selena

Ehhh... Is that so?

Ah... We were supposed to discuss some light topics... It seems like I'm not really good at chatting with people.

If this happens again, you must remind me, Leader.

Thinking too much will only make it worse. We can only do our best with what's in front of us.

Leader, you have really put a lot of thought into these big issues.

Of course, I'm not saying you don't think about the smaller issues...

Uh... Sometimes, I feel like I'm a conversation killer...

I can never find a good topic... And I don't know what other women usually talk about...

Your choice

Something related to food and beauty?

Something related to boyfriends or gossip?

Selena

Miyuki talks about these topics on occasion too.

She is well-informed, so she doesn't take a great interest in those topics. She just nods along indifferently.

Her real thoughts are always hard to guess.

Yeah... Even though most of the women around me are single, it seems like a good topic to discuss.

Although most of the time, everyone seems to be discussing news about Radiants or Nightmare.

Ah... Back to serious topics again...

I didn't do well, but next time! Next time I will find a relaxing topic!

I look forward to a relaxing and pleasant conversation with you!

I hope you feel the same!
