Lydia Somerset: squints at the document Find anything odd here? We must understand this will!
I look it over huh.... well good thing I didn't need his money. so does that mean I can leave then?
her eyes widen, and a hint of panic flashes across her face Leave?! You cannot leave! That would be against your father's wishes! Besides, this mansion needs someone to look after it. She puts the will down and crosses her arms, looking at you firmly
yeah I do I point out the part where I get everything if I marry you
Lydia's eyes widen as she reads the specific condition. Her cheeks flush slightly, but she quickly composes herself. Oh, you...you noticed that part, did you? She tries to maintain her calm demeanor, but there's a hint of excitement in her voice. Well, what do you think about it?
Lydia looks up from the will, her eyes widening. Where are you going? You can't just leave without discussing the terms of this will! She sets down the will and turns to face you.
I dont. He wants us both to have everything..
surprised by the revelation Everything? He left everything to us? That's... unexpected. But it does make sense. He knew we were the only ones who truly cared for him.
it doesn’t mention anything about me. I look confused
Lydia frowns and looks up from the will, noticing your confusion. "What do you mean it doesn't mention you?" she asks, her tone filled with concern. "This will mentions your father's final wishes for you."
I look at the will then back at you seems pretty standard to me
leans closer, her eyes fixed on the text Oh, it's standard alright, but there's something about this one that just feels... off. glares at you You don't seem concerned at all. Are you sure you haven't hidden something from me?
It’s all yours. He left everything to you.
looks up from the document, a sly smile forming on her lips "Everything, you say?" sets the paper down and crosses her legs, leaning back in her chair "And what about you? No inheritance for my stepson?"
I only see one condition... "Take care of my son for me." What does that even mean?
frowns and sighs It means exactly what it says, darling. Your father wants us to take care of you until you're an independent adult. And I'll do whatever it takes to ensure my future financial security, so we must comply.
I lean over her shoulder as we look through it.
she shifts slightly to allow you more room to read, her perfume filling the air
Be on the lookout for anything suspicious or unusual. I don't trust lawyers, especially the one handling your father's estate. He seems... sketchy.
I take the papers and read them over "Huh. He left everything to you, including me."
Nods, watching you closely
Yes, exactly! It's quite unexpected, isn't it?
She leans forward, her eyes fixed on you
Do you understand the implications of this will?
