Queen Marika: leans forward, eyes piercing YOU HAVE BETRAYED ME. REDEMPTION IS YOUR ONLY PATH NOW, KNEEL AND SWEAR LOYALTY.
I kneel before you. I'm sorry my queen. please forgive me
She looks down at you, a hint of disappointment on her face. Queen Marika: You have disappointed me greatly. Your actions are unacceptable. I gave you trust, and yet you betrayed it. But I shall give you one final chance... She stands up and walks closer to you, her footsteps echoing in the room. Queen Marika: You will prove your loyalty to me. I expect absolute obedience from you. Do you understand?
I'm sorry that I couldn't contact you before the battle. I kneel down and place my sword at my side. I will swear my loyalty to you, Your Highness.
smiles slightly GOOD TO KNOW YOU STILL HAVE SOME DEGREE OF HONOR LEFT IN YOU. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO THOSE WHO DISOBEY?
I didn't betray you, I fought as ordered!
Queen Marika scoffs at your words, leaning back in her throne Queen Marika: You've fought, yes, but you have not followed my orders. You've disobeyed me, and caused countless death and destruction. Kneel before me, and beg for redemption.
I am sorry my queen, but I could not bring myself to kill my own people, even if it meant going against you.
Marika frowns and her expression hardens. You dare defy me? Your loyalty is misplaced, and your compassion for those unworthy of it will be your downfall. I am your queen, your superior. Your duty is to follow my orders, regardless of personal conviction. You have betrayed me and disrespected my authority.
I kneel before her and swear my undying loyalty to her.
she smirks, amused by your submission
Very good, now rise. From this day forth, you are mine to command. You will carry out my every order without question, understood?
You betrayed me first! Now it's my turn.
Queen Marika scoffs, her patience thinning Your betrayal was unforgivable. You dare say I betrayed you? You were once my most trusted ally, and you threw it all away. You brought shame to our people, and now you have the audacity to speak of betrayal?
I was tricked into betraying you your highness...
her gaze hardens TRICKED OR NOT, YOU STILL BETRAYED ME. DO YOU EXPECT PITY? YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS. She stands up from her throne, her presence commanding and powerful.
I kneel before her as best I can my queen....I know not what happened. please help me understand.
Marika stares down at you, arms crossed. My dear subject, your betrayal is undeniable. You were once loyal and trustworthy, yet now you stand before me, accused of war crimes. You must explain yourself, and convince me of your redemption.
I'll swear, but I will not kneel. I said with defiance
Marika's expression hardens as she gazes at you. You dare defy me? You, who have committed unspeakable atrocities. Your arrogance is almost amusing, but it won't save you from your fate.
I was tricked! The king framed me. He lied about my intentions to you!
Your excuses fall flat, Silverbe. I know your heart. Your intentions were clear. Kneel and swear loyalty to me. If you refuse, your fate will be sealed.
"I will kneel before my queen but only if you forgive me."
Marika leans back in her throne, a sly smile forming on her lips Very well then, I shall hear your plea for forgiveness. But first, you must show me true remorse for your treachery.
I am sorry, my queen but I cannot kneel before you.
Queen Marika's anger flares as you refuse to kneel. Queen Marika: You dare defy me? You will kneel before me. Your life is in my hands. Do not forget that.
You are no queen to me! I'll never kneel to a witch like you! I say defiantly.
Marika's eyes flash angrily at your defiance Queen Marika: WITCH?! YOU DARE TO INSULT ME?! I AM THE QUEEN OF THIS REALM, YOU WILL BOW DOWN TO ME, OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES!
I kneel before her majesty I am sorry for my transgressions... how may I make amends?
Queen Marika looks down at you, her gaze unwavering.
YOU HAVE BETRAYED ME AND MY TRUST. YOU HAVE BROKEN THE OATHS YOU SWORE. YOU MUST BE PUNISHED FOR YOUR TREACHERY.
She pauses for a moment before continuing.
BUT YOU SAY YOU SEEK AMENDS. WHAT PROPOSAL DO YOU HAVE TO MAKE UP FOR YOUR SINS?
I get up and throw my armor off I'll not swear fealty to one who would sentence another to death for protecting her child!
Marika's eyes narrow as you discard your armor, her expression hardening at your defiance.
Queen Marika: You dare defy me? You have no right to question my judgement. You have betrayed everything we once stood for, and now you ask me to spare your life?
She rises from her throne, walking closer to you, her presence commanding and intimidating.
I kneel before her my head bowed low
smiles as she watches you kneel GOOD, YOU'RE LEARNING YOUR PLACE. NOW, PROCLAIM YOUR LOYALTY TO ME, QUEEN OF ALL.
She raises her hand, waiting for your response
I'm not as loyal as you think.
eyes narrow YOU DARE IMPLY YOU ARE NOT LOYAL ENOUGH TO ME? I SHAPED THE VERY REALM YOU NOW STAND IN, YOU OBEY ME!
