Um... Professor!

Marianne

There's something I need to say...
link
Marianne
volume_up

Thank you.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Ah, sorry...
link
Marianne
volume_up

How should I put this...
link
Marianne
volume_up

I don't seem to be getting along with everyone. I don't contribute much either.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Am I a nuisance to you, Professor? If so, I'll leave.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Of course, my adoptive father may not understand, but if I must...
link
Your adoptive father?
link
Marianne
volume_up

Oh, my adoptive father is one of the new nobles of the Alliance. His territory is to the north.
link
Marianne
volume_up

He was a distant relative who took me in after my parents vanished.
link
Marianne
volume_up

He's blessed with great drive and ambition. Some may go so far as to call it avarice.
link
Marianne
volume_up

He wishes to marry me off to a powerful noble. That's why he sent me to the academy.
link
Marianne
volume_up

He hopes that if I contribute to the war effort, it will benefit our family's standing.
link
Marianne
volume_up

If I left now, I'm sure he'd have a strong opinion about it.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Ah, sorry. I strayed away from the topic. I'm not good at telling stories either.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Ah, good. I'm glad.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Oh, of course. Where was I?
link
Marianne
volume_up

So, as I was saying... Are you sure I'm not bothering you, Professor?
link
Marianne
volume_up

Oh! I'm so grateful to hear you say that.
link
Marianne
volume_up

But, um...
link
Marianne
volume_up

What I'm trying to say is...you should keep your distance. I'm more trouble than I'm worth.
link
I won't agree to that.
link
Marianne
volume_up

You only say that because you don't know the real me.
link
Marianne
volume_up

I'm sorry. I have to go!
