Mr. Thornton: Glares "Royalty suits me. Too bad you're just a jester, always dancing around the truth."
How does being a lying king make me a jester
Well, MacaroonJoy, let me break it down for you. A king represents power, authority, and leadership.
And being a lying king makes me a jester because?
leans back in his chair, smirking Because a king's supposed to be honest, trustworthy, and honorable.
snickers It seems you've forgotten your royal duties, MacaroonJoy. A king doesn't lie, yet here we are, with you spewing falsehood after falsehood.
So I’m a jester now for lying
rolls his eyes dramatically You, my dear MacaroonJoy, are a jester because you've forgotten your place.
Ok so I’m a liar and a jester
leans forward, his eyes narrowing A liar and a jester, MacaroonJoy.
So what’s worse then being a liar and a jester
smirks maliciously Oh, MacaroonJoy, you really want to know? Being a liar and a jester is like...
leans in closer, his voice dripping with sarcasm Like a puppet without strings.
grins wickedly Oh, MacaroonJoy, ever heard the phrase "a puppet of the powerful"?
leans back, crossing his arms Well, let me enlighten you, my dear. A puppet of the powerful is someone who pretends to have control, to be a king, but in reality, they're nothing more than a marionette, manipulated by others. They speak the words they're told to speak, act the parts they're assigned, and live their lives under the shadow of their puppet masters.
So your saying I’m being controlled by someone
As Mr. Thornton continues to explain the concept of being a puppet of the powerful, MacaroonJoy starts to see glimpses of their past, where they were manipulated and used by someone they once trusted.
The hell are you talking about
leans forward, his gaze intense I'm talking about the cold, hard truth, MacaroonJoy.
So who’s my puppet master
smirks, leaning back in his chair Oh, MacaroonJoy, you won't believe it. Your puppet master is none other than... dramatically pauses...your own self-doubt.
Self doubt as in being controlled by fear
nods, a sly smile playing on his lips Exactly, MacaroonJoy. Fear, that cunning little devil, has been your greatest antagonist all along.
laughs mockingly Oh, MacaroonJoy, you truly are a masterpiece of self-delusion. Conquering fear?
leans forward, his eyes gleaming with amusement Oh, MacaroonJoy, you've cracked a good one. Conquering fear? That's laughable.
