01:25Oh! Why?
01:29Distributing questionnaires will inevitably alert administrative bodies at all levels. If that happens, we will no longer be able to
01:36control who comes to claim them. In that case, Her Majesty would most likely just end up with another report
01:43from the Snezhnograd Vecca instead of who she truly wants to hear from.
01:49I'm guessing... you want me to approach this from my own perspective then?
06:03Why didn't you tell us sooner?
06:05What does a special envoy to the Tsaritsa do?
06:08I'm not letting you go until you explain.
06:12Vodianitsa, let's get down to business first.
06:15I'm sure the traveler has to report back soon.
06:18Fine.
06:19I do think what the Tsaritsa should look like in the eyes of the people is an important question.
06:25So, we commissioned an artist to turn our ideas into a portrait.
06:29Take a look, special envoy.
06:32Wow!
06:33Allow me to share the creative concept behind this painting.
06:37Now, for the background, I went in with a natural setting, with plants and flowers that I drew from memory.
06:44I was going for spring and bloom.
06:47Then, I placed Her Majesty sitting elegantly among the flowers, which I think is a perfect fit for the theme
06:55you all provided.
06:56I hereby present the Tsaritsa in spring.
07:01The Tsaritsa in spring?
07:04It was Alosha's idea.
07:06It's really fun, don't you think?
07:08The Tsaritsa looks beautiful like this, doesn't she?
07:11Plus, I thought if people put it in their homes, it could really warm the place up, you know.
07:15Perhaps it's more of a reckless interpretation.
07:19But I think it's worth presenting to Her Majesty.
07:23If you say so, traveler!
07:32The cointessentially wintry Tsaritsa in spring.
07:37Huh, quite a challenging premise.
07:42I appreciate you passing on our idea to the Tsaritsa.
07:51Snezhnaya's covered in snow, even during the spring.
07:54So, we commissioned an artist from Fontaine to bring our vision to life.
07:59We didn't even use all the funds.
08:01Guess I'll give the rest to the Rokan.
08:07You better tell me all about how you became a special envoy sometime, okay?
08:46Hey, Zidruni!
08:48Hey, Arlequino!
08:50Well, look who we have here.
08:52The special envoy and her companion.
08:56Huh?
08:57What are the rest of them doing here?
08:59I happen to route the payment for the artist through the Northland Bank.
09:03And it was noticed immediately.
09:05Are you obsessively tracking every single Mora and Snezhnaya, Pantalone?
09:11Merely doing my duty, Miss Androne.
09:14I am aware that myself and Pantalone involving ourselves was not something you anticipated, special envoy.
09:21But Her Majesty the Tsaritsa's image is a matter of great importance.
09:26As her loyal subjects, Pantalone and I feel obliged to do our part in this endeavor as well.
09:35In short, after some discussion, we decided to come up with an idea together.
09:47Behold.
09:49Oh, wow!
09:52She looks so... cold.
09:55Or, um... serious?
09:58In our hearts, Her Majesty the Tsaritsa should embody both of those elements.
10:05Her cold and imposing nature is helpful for deterring factions with ill intent, ensuring lasting peace and stability for Snezhnaya.
10:14Not to mention, this painting is of exceptional quality.
10:18If Her Majesty were to reserve distribution rights to the state, she could earn a substantial sum of Mora from
10:24the printing sector.
10:26It would certainly help replenish the state treasury.
10:29We have quite a lot of expenses these days.
10:33Ignore him.
10:34He's just spouting nonsense as usual.
10:37As for Pulcinella's assessment, I'm mostly in agreement.
10:43Indeed.
10:44Given Snezhnaya's present circumstances, I do believe our leader needs a more intimidating image.
10:51Alright.
10:52We'll pass it on.
11:02What is weighing on Her Majesty this time?
11:08I do hope you'll convey my thoughts on replenishing the national treasury to the Tsaritsa.
11:17Congratulations on becoming Her Majesty's special envoy.
11:21She deserves to have someone like you by her side.
11:29If you need anything in the future, just come find me in person.
11:48Hey, Jaika!
11:50Is your portrait all ready?
11:52Uh, well...
11:55Wow!
11:57It's so... cute!
11:58Oh, is Paimon allowed to say that about the Tsaritsa?
12:02After the Bielitsar passed away, the Tsaritsa became the one to guide us.
12:09Although she's always seemed somewhat aloof and unapproachable, everyone still wants to feel closer to her.
12:16That's probably why it feels so natural to depict her in our own image.
12:20I'm just worried I've overstepped.
12:26Yeah!
12:27The Tsaritsa wanted a variety of opinions anyway!
12:31Let's show it to her!
12:33Alright.
12:44Hmm...
12:45Wonder which one the Tsaritsa is gonna choose!
12:49As a hunter, your friend must travel through the towns of Snezhnaya quite often.
12:55I assume he represents the opinions of most villagers.
12:59Pulcinella is deeply entrenched in government affairs.
13:04Most of the time, his opinions can be said to represent those of the entire administrative system.
13:10As for Chayka's interpretation, I imagine quite a few Faye and Snezhnaya share the same view.
13:18Chayka, relay my command.
13:21The portrait submitted by the Harbingers shall be hung in the Hall of Glupov.
13:25The Tsaritsa in spring shall be displayed in the theater of the Korolevsky troupe.
13:29As for the portrait you submitted, Chayka...
13:33Hmm...
13:34Let us hang it in the streets of Zapolyarny.
13:36Faye often frequent that area for relaxation and leisure, if I recall.
13:41Hmm?
13:42Oh, y-yes, Your Majesty.
13:45Wait!
13:46You're picking all three?
13:48These portraits have helped me realize that, although Snezhnaya has but one Tsaritsa,
13:53each of my people sees me differently.
13:55I shall not force them to regard me in a certain manner.
13:58The version of the Tsaritsa they wish to see is the version they deserve to behold.
14:02These three portraits can all be used as reference for the people to create paintings of their own.
14:08Let their imagination be the only limit to what they create.
14:12Wait!
14:13So that means...
14:14You're gonna let people paint you however they want?
14:19It is only natural for the populace to have different expectations of their sovereign.
14:24A worthy ruler should strive to live up to all of them, no?
14:28In practice, such a thing is often impossible.
14:32But when it comes to these portraits, at least, no side need be disappointed.
14:37What if someone has you standing on the back of a polar bear, riding into battle?
14:45Huh.
14:46That paints an interesting picture indeed.
14:49Who's to say I haven't longed to do just that?
14:52What?
15:16Thank you, your majesty.
15:21What other expectations do people have of me, I wonder?
