The Second Lady of The Black Dragon

Planning Process

Attachment disorders describe conditions that cause children to have difficulty with emotional attachments with others. This can include a lack of emotional responses or overly emotional attachments.

That's the first thing Google showed when I searched "What is an attachment issue". Yeah, still remember that.

Just asking, why suddenly remember that?

Hm, don't know. You could say..just feels like it.

We don't have that, do we?

Don't know. Don't think so.

Well, that's one thing. We searched "attachment issue", why "attachment disorders" that came out..

Don't ask me, ask Google.

Yeah, okay. Just wondering why we think of this in this situation, anyway?

Good question.

"Evalina, stop thinking."

"Ah sorry-- huh?" I looks at Erin in disbelief who is standing, brewing tea.

"You were zoning out just now. Don't do such things, not now. I came here to talk. It would be best for you to put your attention on what I'm about to ask." replies Erin.

"Oh.. sorry. What did you want to ask?" asks me, regaining my composure.

"What do you want to do now? I mean by your steps to achieve your goal." answers Erin as he places two cups of tea on the table. It's for both of us.

I takes my time to answer his questions by taking the cup, blows and take a few sips of the tea. After thinking of a suitable answer, I places down the cup.

"First thing first, I want to show a good appearance in the public. I need a good reputation, you know."

"Hmm.. I also have to befriend with Lady Sophia so that The Crown Prince wouldn't hurt me that much in the future. Apart from that, I have to befriend with her so it will be easy for me to know if she learn the only spell to cure The First Empress."

"Also,  in case Lady Sophia haven't learn that spell or master it yet, I can make the cure myself. You know, Lady Sophia found out another way to cure that disease without using light magic. And I still remember the ingredients and directions, so that's a back up plan!"

"I need allies apart from you. But, that could be hard for now so I want to strengthen Lady Evalina's friendship with her friends and get to know them better. I think I already friends with The Second Princess so I just need to boost her confidence or make her brave enough to not be afraid of The Second Empress."

"Talk about The Second Empress, we need to have some kind of peace contract with Eleign Empire. Or something. I'm not sure what to do with Eleign Empire since their plan already started and it's ongoing....but you know. Either peace or nah."

I takes a glace at Erin as I stops to catch my breath. Erin is writing something. More precisely, take notes of what I said. He's determined.

"And then, I also want to make some friends with other noble ladies. Although that might be hard but yeah, I'll try. Then--"

"Wait."
Erin stops me.

"Huh?"
I tilts my head.

"I was thinking, perhaps we can take Her Majesty(The Second Empress) into our side. It is difficult for it to happen; however, we can try." suggests Erin.

Huh, I never thought of that.

"So, a redemption arc for her. A second-chance?" asks me for confirmation.
