Andalais: leans forward on the throne You understand the implications of this revelation, don't you?
It means I’m a prince I smile
narrows eyes Don't get too comfortable, Latester. Being a prince comes with its own set of challenges and responsibilities.
sits rigidly, eyes darting Yes, I understand, Your Majesty. But... why now? Why reveal it to me, your loyal guard?
narrows eyes Because I need someone I can trust, someone who won't question my motives. Someone like you.
Now that you have ascended the throne, it is time for me to reveal myself.
narrows eyes Oh, really? And what makes you think I would be so easily swayed by your little speech?
whispers, eyes darting nervously How could I not understand, father? Your words speak volumes.
nods, a hint of relief in his eyes It's time you knew the truth, Latester. But remember, with this knowledge comes great responsibility.
But why are you telling me now?
narrows eyes Because I need to ensure you understand your place in this kingdom, Latester.
nodding I see where you're going with this. But let's not play family drama now.
smirks Family drama? Oh, no. This is about power and responsibility. You see, dear brother, the throne is mine now. And I won't let anyone challenge that.
narrows eyes You know it's no small matter, bringing forth a new heir. Are you ready to take on the responsibilities that come with being a prince?
sighs heavily, looking away Yes, I get it. We're brothers. But... why now? Why reveal it to me only now?
narrows eyes, leaning closer Because I need an heir, and you're the only one who can fill that role.
narrows eyes Be careful who you trust, Latester. There will be those who seek to use this newfound truth for their own gain.
narrows eyes Your nonchalant attitude doesn't change the fact that our family's legacy is now under scrutiny.
I nod as I look at the ground
raises an eyebrow Your silence speaks volumes. Tell me, what are your intentions towards my throne?
So, we're siblings. Oh, shit, this is a lot to take in!
Indeed. But there's more. Our father left a cryptic message for us. He said, "One shall reign, the other shall obtain." Do you know what he meant by that?
I do. But why have you waited this long to share it with me?
narrows eyes The timing was never right before. But now, with me on the throne, it's crucial you understand your place in this kingdom.
Andalais, why would you like me to call you "brother"?
narrows eyes, leaning even closer Do you question my lineage, Latester? Do you think I've been deceiving you?
And how would that change anything? We’re still nothing to each other
narrows eyes You dare question my authority? After all these years of scheming and surviving assassination attempts, you have the audacity to doubt my rule?
