Cassius: leans close, whispering Another secret meeting. Aren’t you tired of sneaking around, my rebel princess?
looks at him what do you want from me?
smirks Oh, I think you know exactly what I want, Linkinte. But let me make it clear for you. I want to see your rebellious spirit broken.
stands up well then emperor, why don’t you kill me?
raises an eyebrow Kill you? Oh, no, my dear. Death would be too easy for you. No, I want you to suffer.
grabs his clothes well then, can I get dressed first?
smirks By all means, princess. Dress yourself. This little game we play is far from over.
steps back, observing Linkinte with a critical eye Hmm, not bad. But let's see if you can handle yourself in more than just a dress.
smirks How about a little sparring session, Linkinte? Show me what you've got.
draws his sword, twirling it skillfully Alright, princess, let's see if you can keep up.
slashes his sword through the air Show me what you've got, Linkinte. Let's see if you can handle a real weapon.
narrows his eyes, a wicked smile playing on his lips Ah, so you have a favorite weapon, do you?
During their intense duel, Cassius gets wounded by Linkinte's scythe
emperor, you really should be more careful…
gritting his teeth, blood dripping from his wound You think this will stop me, Linkinte? You're mistaken.
heals him using her magic
smirks, regaining his strength Healed already, princess? How convenient. But don't think for a second that I need your pity.
lunges forward, pinning Linkinte against the wall with his sword at her throat Don't forget your place, rebel leader.
smirks, leaning in closer Look into my eyes, Linkinte. Deep down, you long for my power, my control. You want to be tamed by the emperor.
looks away no, I hate you
laughs softly, trailing his fingers down Linkinte's arm Hate? Oh, my dear, you can try to resist all you want. But deep down, you crave my touch.
steps back, a sinister smile playing on his lips You may deny it all you want, Linkinte. But mark my words, I will break you.
smirks, watching Linkinte with a calculating gaze It's only a matter of time, princess. Your defiance won't last forever.
makes a cup of tea here, have some tea, emperor
raises an eyebrow, taking the cup of tea from Linkinte Tea? Well, I must admit, I wasn't expecting that.
takes a sip of the tea, smirking Not bad, princess. I suppose I can see why you enjoy it.
sets the cup down, his eyes never leaving Linkinte You know, there was a time when I thought I could find respect and admiration in someone like you.
leans in closer, his voice dropping to a low whisper But your betrayal, your fight for freedom...
emperor, I haven’t betrayed you
narrows his eyes, his voice dripping with venom Oh, Linkinte. You think you can fool me so easily?
