Ch.6: Birabuto's Favorite Koopa

Time passed, and Lu was starting to enjoy his new life in Birabuto. While Daisy's royal council was trying to find a way to bring back his memories, said princess helped him get to know the city. At first, the residents were a bit nervous about having a creature like Lu in their city, but they began to trust him through their princess. They even began to like him even more when they saw what a kind and polite person he is, helping a lady who dropped her groceries or holding the door open for the princess.

Lu, of course, enjoyed being polite to the Daisy. She had helped him when he first came here and is willing to help him get his memories back. He owes her so much.

As for the council, it is taking them quite some time to try to find a way to get back Lu's memories because of the other pressing matters. Lu, because he owes them a great deal of gratitude (they never asked for it, of course), decides to help the members of said council with their pressing matters, forgetting about recovering his memories at the moment. The council finds Lu to be a very intelligent fellow, analyzing the situations to find the proper solutions. They felt as though he has become part of their council as well as part of the royal family through Daisy's friendship.

Speaking of the royal family, Daisy's father the king came to Birabuto one day to check on his daughter, and was surprised to find her in the garden with a Koopa. The Koopa, who happens to be Lu, was dressed in Sarasaland clothes in place of his missing shell and helping the Toad gardeners plant some flowers.

"Daisy," he asked her daughter as they watched this good deed, "what kind of a creature is he?"

"I believe he is a Koopa that Peach was telling me about," his daughter answered, "but he seems too gentle and kind to be a Koopa."

"What is his name?"

"He said his name's Lu, and he has lost his memories. He has no idea who he is or where he came from. We're trying to help him regain his memories, and he has been very dear to the city in the meantime. He's practically become a favorite to the townspeople and the council."

The king then saw that his daughter was right. He watched Lu as he helped some townspeople while going through the city with him and his daughter. He was impressed by his wisdom as he helped the council during their meetings. He began to like Lu when he humbly showed him proper respect.

"Daisy, I believe what you have done for Lu is very kind and compassionate of you," he said when Lu isn't with them at the moment.

"I believe so too, Father," she said. "Lu is already beginning to feel like a part of the family."

"I feel that way as well," he said, "which brings me to a wise decision." Daisy looked up at her father in confusion.

"What's that?"

"Properly crown him as the prince of Sarasaland."
