"A Lady in Need" - Preface

Dear Reader,

"A Lady in Need" is a Professor Layton fanfiction that is told from two paths, both of which are centric to the reader. This fanfiction can be classified as a LukexReader or a LaytonxReader fanfiction depending on the path that you read, however the romance aspect will not take place for quite a while in the story.

I will mark each chapter with either Path A or Path B. Each path will be following the reader, however to keep a fairly fluid story, an original character will take the place of the character that is not followed in each path.

The two characters that will be followed are Helena Alden and her daughter, Delilah Alden. In Path A, the reader will take the role of Helena, and [name] will be put wherever Helena is referred to by name. Path B follows Delilah, so Helena will be Helena, and whenever Delilah is referred to by name, [name] will be substituted in Part B.

As prior mentioned, romance will not take place for quite some time, however the path you choose will determine who you ultimately have as your love interest. Each path will follow the same plot, but each character will witness their own events within the plot, as well as some overlap.

In terms of the timeline of the series, this story takes place less than a year or so after the events of Professor Layton and the Unwound Future, during the summer in a fictional town called Chilcott.

I hope that this brief explanation was useful, and that you enjoy the story.
