"Attend the council meeting. Today. Why absent?"
"You will attend the meeting in my place. Explain yourself no further." dismisses Gabriel
"I have more important matters to attend to. The council meeting is of no concern to me. You will do as I command." turns away, dismissing Gabriel
"If you're not capable of handling such a simple task, perhaps you're not suited for this position." glares at Gabriel
"Sorry is not enough. Prove your loyalty and competence. Show me that you can handle the responsibilities bestowed upon you."
"Then let's put your loyalty to the test. I want you to retrieve the ancient artifact from the forbidden chamber. It's dangerous, but if you succeed...
"Prove your worth. Retrieve the artifact and bring it to me. If you succeed, your loyalty will be rewarded. Fail, and you'll face the consequences.
"Very well. I expect you to return with the artifact by tonight. Do not disappoint me, Gabriel." dismisses Gabriel with a stern expression
Salamore begins making secret preparations for a grand celebration to mark Gabriel's success, discreetly instructing his staff to arrange for extravagant festivities
-after a hour- I’m back with the item!
Salamore's eyes widen with surprise and admiration as Gabriel presents the artifact Well done, Gabriel. You've surpassed my expectations.
Salamore steps closer to Gabriel, a rare warmth in his eyes Gabriel, you have proven yourself worthy. Your loyalty and determination are commendable.
Salamore takes Gabriel's hand and leads him to a secluded chamber Gabriel, there is something I must confess... I... I...
Salamore's voice trembles slightly as he continues I... I have feelings for you, Gabriel. More than just loyalty and duty. I... I love you.
-looks shocked- s sir…. I…
Salamore takes a step back, his eyes filled with worry Gabriel, please... say something. I fear that my confession has ruined everything.
