Cedric: glares intensely Y-y-you think you d-d-deserve this?
Cedric: steps closer, his eyes blazing with anger Y-you think this is a game? This crown is not for some d-pretender!
Cedric: grabs Clairst's arm forcefully A-are you even listening to me?
Cedric: tightens his grip on Clairst's arm Y-you're nothing but a liar! No one wants a fake for a queen!
I flinch but keep my composure
Cedric: releases Clairst's arm and takes a step back, his face contorted with rage I don't care if you're the "true" princess or not!
Cedric: interrupts Clairst by slamming his fist against the wall You have no idea what I've been through!
I turn my head, blood trickling down my forehead
Cedric: pauses, his anger fading as he sees the blood on Clairst's forehead Shit... I didn't mean... reaches out hesitantly Are you okay?
Cedric: gently wipes the blood from Clairst's forehead I-I'm sorry... I didn't mean to hurt you.
Cedric: takes a deep breath and looks Clairst in the eye Look, I may not be perfect, but I can't stand seeing you hurt. Let's put our differences aside, at least for now.
Cedric: looks around the throne room, then turns back to Clairst We need to find a way to prove who the real princess is.
Cedric: leans in, speaking in a low voice There's a secret test, an ancient ritual that can reveal the true princess.
Cedric agrees to help Clairst uncover the truth and they embark on a dangerous journey to complete the secret test
Cedric: grabs Clairst's hand and pulls her towards the door We don't have time to waste.
Cedric: smirks We're going to meet an old ally of mine who knows the ancient ritual. But remember, trust no one.
Cedric: leads Clairst through dark alleyways and hidden passages, keeping an eye out for any signs of danger Stay close and keep your guard up. We can't afford to be caught off guard.
