Welcome Jester Vivianne!
Spoilers for A Fools Endeavor by @mable-stitchpunk ! ! !

.
.
.
Things go mostly the same as the book, the queen has Lure, then dies in childbirth with Vivianne.
Elia knows the truth and tells Lure, they find a way to hide the baby girl while the king is distracted with greif.
.
Lure does prince stuff and studying but makes sure to make time for Vivianne when he can, playing with her and teaching her things.
.
.
When the kingdom is attacked Lure hides her in the chest again.
The guards grab him and leave, not caring to look for a jester once they have the prince.
.
.
The next day the castle is empty so she goes to coffcords house, the only place she knows outside the castle.
.
She packs her little backpack and declares shes going to rescue the Prince.
.
Coffcord's like 'yeah sure you are, basalm go keep an eye on her please'.
He expects them to walk around the neighborhood for a bit them come back.
Unfortunately Basalm MASSIVELY misinterpets 'go keep an eye on her' and they set off on the journey to Olalylark.
.
.
On the way they find the camp and Viviannes like !! We made it to Olaylark!
And Basalm has to be like 'uhhh not quite'
.
They pick up Morrick, who is utterly confused so as to why this little girl and a guy she doesnt know are trying to rescue the kidnapped Prince.
Baslam's like 'no its ok Coffcord said we could'
And Morricks like 'damn, who am I to argue with the head alchemist I guess' and goes with them.
.
Various shenanagins of Vivianne walking directly into danger and the two adults desperately trying to save this 8 yr old girl from immenant death every five minutes.
.
Morrick and Basalm are woefully unprepared to be babysitters😆
.
Yves wondering why two grown men in the middle of the woods are taking orders from a miniature clown
.
Anyway they get to Olaylark and Lure is NOT the sweet older brother figure Vivianne has been describing, but an absolute *nuisance* and is litterally gagged in the middle of the courtroom and still making a mess.
.
Uhhhhh they save him
.
Hes ecstatic to see Vivianne is safe and grateful they rescued him but wHAT MADE YOU THINK IT WAS OK TO BRING A CHILD ALL THEY WAY TO OLAYLARK WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU FOUGHT SNAKES AND ALMOST DROWNED MULTIPLE TIMES??!?!?!!?
.
Morrick has 0 tollerance for his bullshit and they immediately start their old married couples bickering.
.
The journey back is eventful and it is very easy to see where Vivianne gets her chaotic whirlwind nature from.
.
.
They make it back home and Cofcord almost kills them all himself.
WTF HAVE YOU BEEN FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU ACTUALLY WENT I TOLD YOU TO TAKE HER ON A WALK OR SOMETHING NOT DIRECTLY TO OLAYLARK WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU ACTUALLY SAVED THE PRINCE WHO ARE THESE GUYS
