Executive power in the Mushroom Kingdom sure seems like it firmly resides in Peach's white-gloved hands. Maybe there's an aged King and/or Queen Toadstool still alive somewhere and Peach is ruling as some kind of long-term regent, but I have my doubts

It's not just Peach either, you know; as of Tears of the Kingdom, "Princess" Zelda is unambiguously the Queen of Hyrule, both de facto and de jure, and in what universe (ayo) is Rosalina, who's clearly some kind of cosmic mother goddess, possibly the "princess" of anything?

It's high time someone stood up and called these phony "princesses" out, and I for one am ready to make my voice heard on this urgent matter

(Part 11 of The New Goddess - Previous: Her Triumphant Return)

Not what I would call ideal timing for You to indulge Your hunger, Goddess, I have to say. Did You really have so much faith in the three of us, or have You been lying even to me about how in control of Your urges You are?

Stalking Nina and Velle as they descend through the palace, it's immediately clear that Velle has regained some of her former self. How much, I wonder? I want to believe that her brusque attitude with the princess is a matter of urgency, and that her heart has not entirely discarded the woman she loved just this morning.

I believe in her. Whatever memories she regains, Velle would never hurt Nina. However, I also believe in being careful, so I stick to the shadows and follow at a distance. She would definitely hurt me, and the Goddess... well, I hope she still can't hurt the Goddess.
