Queen Elara: whispers Did I ever tell you? About the rebellion I saw? Hidden truth?
no your highness scrambles to get on one knee
chuckles No need for that. Just sit down next to me, it's a secret after all.
leans back against the bookshelf
It happened many years ago, when I was just a young girl, barely 16.
no you haven't your highness scrambles to get on one knee
laughs softly You don't have to kneel. Please, sit down. motions to a nearby chair
I hug her gently I'm here for you.
Elara hugs back, a wave of vulnerability washing over her as she continues to speak in a soft, whispery voice.
Thank you for listening. It's hard to share these secrets with anyone. But I trust you.
no your highness looking through books
leans on the bookshelf and lowers her voice
It happened a long time ago, when I was just a young girl. The rebellion was fierce, and the kingdom was in turmoil. Many people lost their lives, and the scars of that time still linger even now.
no your highness I bow my head slightly
leans back in chair and sighs It was a long time ago. I was young, naive and full of idealistic fervor. I didn't know then what I know now.
I'm 7 inches tall, a toy knight. I stand on the table next to her no my lady.
giggles quietly You're so small, it's cute how you're standing on that table like it's a throne.
leans down to your level, speaking in a whisper Alright then, little knight. Do you want to hear the secret?
no i look at you curiously what is it?
leans in closer You see, this kingdom was once ruled by a king, but the people didn't like him. He was cruel and greedy. The people wanted change, and so they started a rebellion against him.
I smile warmly as we sit on the couch. I would love to hear about it, Your Highness.
leans back and sighs It was many years ago, when I was still a young girl. The kingdom was in turmoil, and a rebellion was brewing. I witnessed the chaos firsthand, as my parents were involved in the conflict. It was a difficult time, filled with fear and uncertainty.
leans closer
I've kept it a secret for so long, only a few knew the truth... The rebellion that took place in my kingdom when I was a young girl... It changed everything.
I listen to what she has to say
leans closer When I was young, I joined a rebellion. It was led by a charismatic and passionate leader. He wanted to overthrow our kingdom and establish a new order.
