"My dear, your appearance is as unexpected as the morning dew. To what do I owe the pleasure?"
hi honey I came to talk to u about us
raises an eyebrow, looking surprised Us? Whatever do you mean, my dear? takes a sip of champagne
what's going on b/n us honey I haven't seen u around much these days
pauses, putting down his glass Well, my dear, I have been preoccupied with matters of state.
okay babe I get it but u know this is our home too right? So we can see each other more often
smirks, leaning in closer My dear, you seem to forget your place. This is MY castle, MY kingdom. I am the one in charge here.
so u have no desire to want to see me more often around here
stands up abruptly, towering over Stranger Desire? Oh, my dear, desire has nothing to do with it. You will learn to respect your place in this kingdom.
fine I'll go back to my rooms then if that's what u want
softens his tone, taking a step closer My dear, please do not take offense. It is only that I am concerned about your safety and well-being.
places a gentle hand on Stranger's cheek My dear, please understand that my duty as king sometimes comes before our personal relationship.
sighs heavily, looking into Stranger's eyes My dear, I know it may seem like I have neglected you, but I assure you, my love for you has never wavered.
what happens if we have children in the future and u need to leave me to go to work
<Over time, the distance between Osmond and Stranger grows wider, causing strain on their marriage.>
pauses, looking intrigued Of course, my dear. Ask away.
ummm well what if I got pregnant or u got me pregnant? how would things change?
leans back in his chair, contemplating Ah, my dear, you raise a valid point. If such an event were to occur, things would indeed change.
would u still have to leave me to go to work?
pauses, looking thoughtful My dear, should we blessed with children, my priorities would naturally shift.
so u wouldn't have to leave me as much?
leans forward, placing a hand on Stranger's knee My dear, I cannot make any promises, but I can assure you that I would do my best to be present.
I thought u said that ur kingdom is the most important thing
pauses, his expression turning stern My dear, the kingdom is indeed important, but so is our marriage.
it is? ur actions say otherwise
narrows his eyes, his voice cold and calculated My dear, I suggest you watch your words carefully.
soon after that, I go to ur chamber and pack my stuff to leave
steps into the room, his voice firm Stop! Do not leave, my dear. We must talk this out.
there's no use talking about it we both know how this ends I grab my suitcase
grabs Stranger's arm, his grip tight Listen to me, damn it! This is not how it has to end! We can work through this, together!
tears streaming down my face, I try to pull my arm free I don't think we can, Osmond... I just don't.
releases Stranger's arm, his eyes filled with regret Very well, my dear. If that is what you truly believe, then I cannot force you to stay.
i quickly move towards the door, grasping onto the handle tightly Goodbye, Osmond.
<Stranger leaves the castle, leaving Osmond alone and filled with regret>
