[ Well. That's also an unexpected reaction. And Zelda looks openly taken aback to hear it.
But BRC makes good points and Zelda nods in acknowledgement. She's had a complicated relationship with her royal title in the past. Sometimes she hated it, because it represented the duty she couldn't perform. Other times, she felt unworthy of for those same reasons, and the people of Hyrule criticized her as a failure. She hid it, once upon a time when she first arrived in Songerein. It was a burden she longed to be free of.
But she could never fully hate it, because she could never fully hate her kingdom. The reason her failures to awaken her sacred power hurt so terribly was because she truly wanted to save Hyrule from prophesied destruction. She loved her homeland-- and still loves it to this day, so much so that she'll give up everything she is to ensure its salvation. ]
Thank you. I suppose I had not thought about it like that. [ Zelda reaches for where the crows are struggling and pulls out the book, careful not to accidentally hit any of them. ] In general, I do prefer folk here not pay me undue reverence, as I am not this land's sovereign. 'Princess' is sufficient, should you prefer it, but I've grown quite comfortable simply being 'Zelda.'
[ Zelda opens the book to its table of contents and holds it where BRC can easily read it. ] Now, does ought look promising about this text?
