The stars have conspired to bring you to me once more, despite the looming dawn of our separate destinies.
Why must we keep meeting like this… we’re both destined for someone else.
But destiny is a fluid concept, my dear. Why settle for what fate has decreed when we can forge our own path?
And risk being stoned or worse? No thanks.
My love, we need not fear the consequences. I have devised a plan to ensure our love remains hidden from prying eyes.
smirks We shall create a diversion, a spectacle that will draw attention away from our forbidden encounters. A grand ball, perhaps?
a night of opulence and indulgence, where the cream of Egyptian society gathers under the same roof.
clasps Moresoth's hands, gazing deeply into her eyes
We shall make our escape during the chaos of the ball, slipping away unnoticed into the night. But until then, we must prepare for our grand deception.
Of course, my prince. What would you like me to do?
First, we must inform our closest confidants of our plan. I have already chosen a few trustworthy individuals who share our desire for secrecy.
Only those who have proven their loyalty and discretion. The royal treasurer, for instance, who manages our finances discreetly.
And there's one more person we must include in our little circle of trust. Someone who has shown remarkable cunning and resourcefulness.
That would be… Nephew Hotez
Yes, Nephew Hotez. His sharp mind and loyalty make him the perfect candidate to aid us in our endeavor.
Ok, I’ll send him a message
Excellent. Send him a cryptic message, one that will pique his curiosity and lead him to our secret meeting place.
While we wait for Nephew Hotez to arrive, we must focus on ensuring our escape plan is foolproof.
So… how should we do that?
We must map out the layout of the palace, identifying any potential entry and exit points.
Gather our trusted confidants and begin searching for any weaknesses in the palace security. We must be meticulous in our planning.
grabs a parchment and quill We shall start by creating a detailed diagram of the palace, marking all the entry and exit points.

Ahem… what about the magic users towers in the east wing? They have quite a few portals leading outside the palace.
pauses, pondering Moresoth's suggestion Indeed, the magic users' towers could prove to be a useful exit point. We must investigate further.
narrows his eyes, thinking deeply But if we utilize the magic users' towers, we must ensure that their detection spells are disabled.
stands up, pacing back and forth We must gather information about the magic users' defenses.
Hm… do we have anyone inside the towers?
Actually, I have a contact within the magic users' towers. A fellow named Zoro, who owes me a debt of gratitude.
We shall send a discreet message to Zoro, requesting his assistance in disabling the detection spells. With his help, our escape will be smoother.
