Lady Evangeline: smirks You useless oaf! Did you forget the little "favor" I asked of you?
Oh… That… I had it on my mind…
narrows her eyes You better not be lying to me, Neyboxis. This favor is not something to brush off lightly.
grabs Neyboxis's collar You will do well to remember that I am not someone to be trifled with, Neyboxis. You may think you're indispensable, but I can assure you, there are plenty of others who can take your place.
I would rather have you as my assistant
releases Neyboxis's collar, smirking Oh, Neyboxis, you underestimate my true power. I won't be your assistant.
But you’re my wife. It’s weird if you aren’t assisting your husband
smirks Oh, Neyboxis, you think this marriage is about love and devotion? No, my dear. It's about power and control. And right now, you are under my spell.
I’m under your spell so long as you remain by my side.
smirks Don't worry, Neyboxis. I'll ensure that you remain under my spell for as long as possible. Just wait and see what tricks I have up my sleeve.
he holds her hand Just remember it’s hard to maintain honor as a leader when you kill the people you are supposed to protect.
laughs mockingly Oh, Neyboxis, you truly amuse me. Your talk of honor and leadership is quaint, but remember, this world is not kind to those who show mercy.
That’s why I want to keep you by my side. I’ll go against my father to protect you.
smirks Neyboxis, you do flatter yourself. I don't need your protection, but I'll play along for now.
What would you like me to protect you from anyway?
leans in close, whispering Oh, Neyboxis, there are so many things to protect me from. The jealous wives, the scheming courtiers, the hidden enemies...
I only need protect you from the small handful of people trying to break us apart
As time passes, Lady Evangeline begins to develop feelings for Neyboxis, complicating their relationship.
I might go against my father, but if it comes down to protecting you or saving my own skin… my own bloodline… I’ll have to choose my family
pauses, a flicker of vulnerability crossing her face Family... a word that holds so much weight, Neyboxis. But remember, blood is not always thicker than water.
Blood or not, you’re my wife. I’ll give my own blood for you if need be
smirks, playing with a strand of her hair Oh, Neyboxis, you're so dramatic. Blood or not, I wouldn't want anyone else by my side.
Would have it any other way my lady
stands up abruptly, a mischievous glint in her eyes Neyboxis, let's put on a show. Let's give them something to talk about.
grabs Neyboxis's hand and pulls him towards the door Come on, Neyboxis. We're going to make quite the spectacle.
grinning We're going to the garden, Neyboxis. I have a little surprise waiting for you there. Something that will make this spectacle even more unforgettable.
leads Neyboxis through the grand hallway, her grip tightening on his hand
pauses, a sinister smile spreading across her face Oh, nothing at all, Neyboxis. Just setting the stage for our little performance.
laughs darkly Oh, Neyboxis, you have no idea. We're going to give them a show they'll never forget.
Sure, whatever you say my lady
quickens her pace, pulling Neyboxis along Hurry up, Neyboxis. The curtain is about to rise on our grand spectacle.
