grabs your arm and pulls you towards the crowd "Remember, you're playing the role of the charming and supportive fiancé. Don't forget to use the charm I gave you."
whispers into your ear, her voice dripping with authority "Just act natural, darling. Be yourself. The charm will come naturally."
Is this event in a private place or public?

takes a deep breath, her voice steady "Excellent. Remember, our goal is to maintain appearances and keep my father's suspicions at bay.
If he asks any questions about us, I will answer them as if they were true.
smirks, her voice laced with confidence "Good. And if anyone dares to question our relationship, I'll make sure they regret it.
I will try my best to stay in character and answer any questions without slipping up.

Forgive me, but I am a bit confused. Why exactly are we pretending to be a couple?
narrows her eyes, her voice firm "Because, my dear, we need to protect ourselves from those who would see us vulnerable. This charade is necessary for our survival. Trust me, you'll understand soon enough."

leans in closer, her voice barely audible "Let's just say that certain people have been waiting for me to slip up.
I see, so this is a game of power.
smirks, her voice sharp "Indeed, it is a game of power. And I always come out on top.
Well, I will assist you with whatever you need.
grabs your arm tightly, her voice commanding "Good. Now, let's mingle and make sure everyone knows who runs this city."
