Oh... I'm sorry. That must be difficult. Is there any way to earn their trust...?

[marauderprincess]

I have spent years researching all I could about it and haven't found a way to. I do hope some day I can, but until then I have my magicology.

[sootprints]

Magicology...?

[marauderprincess]

I can't hear the spirits, but I can still use spirit stones in an engine to make things like my flying broom or a kettle that boils water.

[sootprints]

That's very resourceful of you. Do many people practice magicology where you're from?

[marauderprincess]

Nope! It's just me and my friend Euphy.

[sootprints]

Oh. I'm glad you have a friend you can share it with, though. What are they like?

[marauderprincess]

Euphy is a lady genius who is very smart and beautiful!

[sootprints]

She is, is she? How did the two of you become friends?

[marauderprincess]

I decided to steal her away from my brother.

[sootprints]

Huh?

...... She was, um... with your brother?

[marauderprincess]

She was in an arranged marriage with my brother. He decided to publicly dump her and ruin her reputation so I decided to steal her for myself.

[ ... ]

As my research assistant.

[sootprints]

Th, that's really something...

Did you get in trouble for that?

[marauderprincess]

My father wasn't pleased at first, but he realized why it was necessary.

No one would want to marry someone who was rejected by a prince in such a way. Making her the Magical Research Assistant to the princess would overshadow any negativity and let people know we're still in good standing with her.
