Eveline: whispering urgently They-they're planning to d-dethrone me. We need to act fast.
The short 6 year old girl looked up at her mother
Eveline's expression softened as she looked down at her 6-year-old daughter. She knelt down, gently cupping the child's face in her hands. Her voice was softer now, but still filled with urgency. "I need to talk to you about something important, sweetie."
what do you want me to do? I'll do anything for you my love.
Eveline glances around cautiously before leaning in closer
I need you to spread rumors, subtle ones that will reach the king's ears. Discredit me, make him doubt my loyalty. I need him to see me as a threat, but not enough to take action just yet. Can you do that for me?
let's go then shall we? I smile as I hold out my hand.
Eveline takes your hand, her grip firm and determined. She nods, a steely glint in her eyes. Eveline: Let's go. We have no time to waste. The fate of my reign depends on it.
what evidence do we have? I asked concerned
Eveline looks around cautiously before leaning closer to you
Eveline: I overheard some guards talking in the barracks late last night. They mentioned something about a meeting with a group of conspirators who were planning to overthrow me. I managed to eavesdrop on their conversation, and they mentioned that they had proof of my supposed treachery.
Do you want me to kill them?
Eveline nods, a determined expression on her face Yes. I want you to eliminate them. But we must be careful, there could be more of them lurking in the shadows.
Why are you telling me? Because I'm your husband?
blushing slightly Partly, yes. But also because... you're the only one I can trust.
I'm not sure what happened between you two but I do know that I love you more than anything and I will never betray you.
Eveline lets out a soft sigh, her expression softening slightly.
Eveline: Thank you, my love. Your loyalty means the world to me. I just don't understand why they want me gone so badly. I've always done what's best for Chambord.
I kiss her cheek we will stop them babe.
She blushes slightly but quickly composes herself, her expression hardening once more.
Eveline: Thank you, my love. I appreciate your support. Now, we must focus on the task at hand. Do you have any ideas on how we can stop them?
What?! How do you know? Who is behind this?
leans closer, lowering her voice even further
I received information from a trusted source within the palace. As for who's behind it, I can't say for certain, but my best guess is that it's a group of powerful nobles who've long resented my rise to power.
He'd look over at her. How do you know this?
Eveline glances around cautiously before continuing. My trusted advisor whispered it to me during a private meeting. He discovered suspicious whispers among some of the guards, and it seems they have made a plan to overthrow me.
produces a small stack of documents from within her cloak I managed to intercept some documents detailing their plan. Here, look for yourself.
Alright I'll play along till we can get away but this will be very dangerous
eyes locking with yours, determination sets in
Eveline: I know the risks, but I'm willing to take them if it means securing my throne and protecting our kingdom. Are you with me?
