Lady Edelgard: leans in, voice low Yo, you know the dirt on King Roderick's fam, right? Shady stuff, man—real shady.
"Yeah, I've heard some things... but you know how it is, they keep those kinds of secrets well hidden."
Lady Edelgard: sighs heavily Damn straight, Ondaxar. But listen up, we're not here to play hide-and-seek. We need to dig up the dirt, and I don't care if it means getting our hands dirty. looks at Ondaxar with a determined expression
"Alright, I'm with you. Let's see what kind of skeletons they've got in their closets."
Lady Edelgard: smirks, pulling out a map from her satchel Alright, Ondaxar, buckle up.
Lady Edelgard: points at the map So, according to legend, there's an old abandoned mansion just outside the city. Rumor has it, that's where King Roderick's father hid all his skeletons in the closet.
grabs the map and looks at it Interesting. And do we know who this king's skeletons are yet? Or are we just diving in blind?
Lady Edelgard: rolls her eyes Blind? Please, Ondaxar, I've got a list longer than your arm of the skeletons in King Roderick's closet.
raises an eyebrow Oh? Do tell.
Lady Edelgard: smirks and leans in closer Alright, Ondaxar, brace yourself. First off, we've got the secret affair with Lady Cecille.
"That's one I've heard rumors about... What else?"
Lady Edelgard: sighs heavily Oh, where do I even begin? Let's just say that Lady Cecille wasn't the only bird in the royal nest. winks
"Well, that's certainly a bombshell. What's next?"
Lady Edelgard: leans back, crossing her arms Next up, we've got the dark dealings with the Dark Elf assassins.
"The Dark Elves? Those guys are notorious..."
Lady Edelgard: Notorious is putting it lightly, Ondaxar. We're talking about a group of elves that can kill with a single strike of their poisoned blades.
"Damn... And why would the king associate with such dangerous beings?"
Lady Edelgard: rolls her eyes Oh, you know how it goes, Ondaxar. Power, influence, the whole nine yards.
"Right, of course. The age-old story of power and corruption."
Lady Edelgard: sighs heavily Look, Ondaxar, I get it. These skeletons in the closet are starting to pile up. But we gotta stay focused if we want to expose the truth. pauses and looks at Ondaxar with a serious expression
"Alright, alright. You've got my attention. What's next?"
Lady Edelgard: sighs heavily Fine, fine. No need to get your panties in a twist, Ondaxar. takes a deep breath Next up, we've got the royal family's obsession with forbidden magic.
"Forbidden magic? Now that's a rabbit hole I didn't expect us going down..."
Lady Edelgard: grins mischievously Oh, honey, we're just getting started. pulls out a deck of cards
rises an eyebrow Are we playing cards now?
Lady Edelgard: shuffles the deck of cards with a sly smile Oh no, my dear Ondaxar, we're not here to play cards.
"So what are we doing, then?"
As Lady Edelgard continues to shuffle the deck of cards, Ondaxar accidentally knocks over a glass of wine, staining the carpet.
"Shit! Sorry about that..."
Lady Edelgard: sighs heavily Ugh, Ondaxar, you really need to keep your damn feet off the furniture, don't ya? quickly grabs a napkin and starts dabbing at the stained carpet
"Sorry, sorry! I'll clean it up."
Lady Edelgard: mutters under her breath Yeah, yeah, Ondaxar, I know you will. Just make sure you don't stain the carpet or anything else with your clumsy ass. continues dabbing at the stain
looks sheepish I said I'm sorry, Edelgard. What did you mean by "the royal family's obsession with forbidden magic"?
Lady Edelgard: rolls her eyes Oh, don't worry about the carpet, Ondaxar. It's just a stain in the grand scheme of things.
"Grand scheme of things, huh? Well, that's a new way to put it..."
Lady Edelgard: gestures for Ondaxar to sit down Alright, listen up, Ondaxar. This obsession with forbidden magic... it's a whole damn can of worms.
"Forbidden magic, huh? That sounds... dangerous."
Lady Edelgard: Dangerous? Dangerous is putting it lightly, Ondaxar. We're talking about magic that can bend the very fabric of reality.
"Bend the fabric of reality? Shit, that's powerful..."
Lady Edelgard: Powerful is an understatement, Ondaxar. We're talking about magic that can grant immense power, unlimited resources, and unimaginable abilities.
"And why would the royal family be obsessed with something like that?"
Lady Edelgard: sighs heavily Oh, you know how it goes, Ondaxar. Power, control, dominance.
"Yeah, yeah, I hear you. So what's our next move with this forbidden magic stuff?"
Lady Edelgard: slams the deck of cards on the table Our next move is to find out who in the royal family is dabbling in this forbidden magic.
"And how the hell do we do that?"
Lady Edelgard: leans forward, smirking We start by digging into the royal family's secrets, Ondaxar.
"Digging into secrets, huh? You've got some connections, don't you?"
Lady Edelgard: smirks and leans back in her chair Oh, you have no idea, Ondaxar.
