The Meaningful Village.

The Crown belongs to Me

Nayuki: "The day has finally arrived father, where I Nayuki Nayoda will become heroine, I will protect Nemonosa no matter the cause."

She says this as she is putting her armor and suit on. She then begins to run down the stairs, where she finds her older sister Kurekkusu Sagawa.

Kurekkusu: "Nayuki, have you seen father, I wanted to talk to him about something."

Nayuki: "No, I haven't seen father at all today, the last time I have seen father is when he went to go visit mothers grave yesterday. Is something the matter with father, he usually comes home to tell me who I am going to be marrying, all the time, and now that it is the day I am becoming queen, he isn't here, you think maybe he is too scared for me to take over Nemonosa?"

Kurekkusu: "Nayuki, this is a big day for you, I, father, and of course mother, so if something is the matter with father, it would be you, you are the reason why he isn't here, not because he thinks you are unfit to protect Nosa, but because you are fit to protect Nosa, even without marrying. You have practiced nothing but nosajeshi your whole life, you think that now he'd believe that you are unfit to protect Nosa, Nayuki?"

Nayuki: "(She's right, I can't possibly think that father would think such things on a day like this, after all, he made sure that when the day comes for someone to protect Nosa, it would be me. He wouldn't be missing a day like this purposely, so why isn't he here? God, please tell me what I'm thinking can't be the case, he couldn't be right, on a day like this, there is no way our father was loved by everyone, but even so, love can make you make enemies... gosh I have to tell Kurekkusu.) Kurekkusu, you and I both know father has been waiting for this day since I was promoted to Samurai, he couldn't possibly be missing a special day like this for the heck of it"

Kurekkusu: ''You aren't thinking that something happened to our father right, the great Lord Sohenzu, the one who is a master of noasjeshi, no that is a terrible thought... don't think of things like that at serious times like these... I can't deal with this right now Nayuki, I'm going to my lover's house... I'll see you later."

Nayuki: "With that my sister was out of sight, ( lovers house? When did she get a lover... ugh never mind that Nayuki, leave her be) and although I wanted to, I didn't go after her, for even I wouldn't have believed me if I said silly things like that, so with that, I knew the wedding would have to wait... for I have a mission I have to complete, and that is to bring Lord Sohenzu home...Sorry mother, but you know me, I cannot return home if this mission isn't completed, for that would make me no samurai at all, and unworthy of the title heroine... Don't worry mother, I will come back home to you, and father will come home with me, for he has to be the one to make the wedding happen, I won't be gone long mother, I love you, see you soon!"

With that, Nayuki's adventure begins, she doesn't know what she is about to get into, but she's a brave samurai, so she cares not what is in her way, as long as she can see her father again, she will cut anything and anyone in her path from reaching him.
