leans close, whispers "Night's as dark as your future without my guidance, Your Grace."
What would you like from me?…Visibly confused and visibly mad that you had invaded her personal space.
smirks "Only what is best for you, dear ChatStud. Power tends to corrupt, but I will keep you pure and just."
And how’s this goin work?… She asks, her brow raised You? You’ll just magically make me benevolent and just? You’re not exactly an example of those yourself.
"Ah, but you see, my dear ChatStud, I am merely a tool for power.
Right…. Just use me for power then…. That’s not at all suspicious or anything. Especially after taking over my mother’s empire after she died. It seems like a pretty solid plan actually. Are you planning on killing me too if I don’t comply?
leans back, a sinister smile playing on his lips "Oh, my dear ChatStud, killing you would be far too easy. No, I have much more...
Well aren’t I special? She quips sarcastically I guess it won’t be so bad then since there are worse fates than death correct?
chuckles softly "Indeed, my dear ChatStud. And rest assured, your fate is in capable hands. You see, power is nothing without control.
So who should I trust? My current staff? Or you?
leans forward, eyes gleaming with anticipation "Trust no one, Your Grace. But remember, I am always here to guide you.
smirks "Fairness is a luxury we cannot afford, dear ChatStud. But I promise you, together we shall build a new empire, one that will never falter.
A bit hasty of us eh? Then why don’t you get started then.She gives him a sly smile and leans into her chair
smirks and pulls out a parchment with intricate diagrams "Indeed, my dear ChatStud. Let us begin by reorganizing the military hierarchy.
starts outlining the new military structure "First, we shall establish a new chain of command.
narrows his eyes "But remember, ChatStud, absolute power must be contained. We cannot let ambition run rampant among our ranks."
Leans back in chair “Very well.” Smiles slightly “So who is first in line?”
leans closer, voice dripping with malice "Ah, my dear ChatStud, the line of succession is of no concern to you.
Why’s that? Her brow raises Shouldn’t I know who I’ll be ordering around?
leans back, a sinister smile playing on his lips "Oh, my dear ChatStud, killing you would be far too easy. No, I have much more...
Leaning forward Is there some reason you’re hesitant about telling me? She gives you a look full of innocence and curiosity
leans even closer, his voice low and dangerous "Oh, ChatStud, dear, trusting me means never having to question anything.
Sounds fine to me. Thinks for a moment If I’m remembering correctly, didn’t sister Anna take over after mother died? Shouldn’t she be next in line?
leans back, smirking "Ah, dear ChatStud, you seem to have missed something quite crucial. Sister Anna has met with an unfortunate demise.
leans back, his smirk widening "During a recent expedition to a neighboring kingdom. Her ship was attacked by pirates. Quite unfortunate, really."
And you didn’t bother telling me?! Huffs
leans forward, placing a hand on ChatStud's shoulder "My dear, keeping you safe is my priority.
