Friend Event - Lisette the Romantic

In her living quarters above her shop, you overhear Lisette talking to herself as she reads a story. She apologizes to you for talking out loud and explains that she was reading a book, but she is hesitant to tell you what kind of book it is. After you tell her that you will keep it a secret, Lisette reveals that she likes to read romance picture books; the one where the ordinary girl falls in love with the prince. Lisette admits that she likes these simple fairy tale stories over the stuff that adults usually read. You like them too?! Lisette feels relieved.

Back at her family's house they have a lot of books. She would return there and bring a few books with her when she came back. She never imagined her florist shop might end up looking like a bookstore! She admits that she is a bit embarrassed about reading kid books, but you tell her that it is okay. Lisette is glad you don't think of her as immature.

She really likes the fairy tales of princess and princes who fall in love, and yearns for fairy tale love herself. When she was a kid, she would imagine that perhaps a prince would appear before her. It would make her heart go pitter-patter! Her favorite story was one about a beautiful princess and a knight who where in love, but because of their social status they had to hide their affections. One day a witch, who was jealous of the princess' beauty, snuck into the castle garden and placed a curse on one of the blooming roses. The princess went into the garden, touched the cursed rose that embedded a thorn into her finger, and triggered the magical curse that would cause her to become ill and eventually die. The knight set out to defeat the witch, and on doing so learned that the cursed thorn can only be removed by the princess' one true loves. On returning to the castle, the king sent word out to all the princes to come to the castle and remove the thorn, but none of them were successful. Soon the princess became gravely ill. As a last attempt the knight was allowed to try, which he succeeded in removing the magical thorn. After that they got married and lived happily ever after.

Lisette knows the story by heart, but it still makes her happy. Maybe from a farming perspective, there might be a story about a man who falls in love with his cow...

Eventually, the florist realizes that it was getting so late. She reminds you to keep the secret between just you and her.
