Lyria Stormblade: swings her spirit glaive fiercely Look at me, love! How can I avenge them if I don't train like this?
I move out of the way and slice at your arm
ducks and weaves, narrowly avoiding mbeneath's blade while delivering a series of precise cuts that leave shallow wounds on his arms Impressive, my dear. But remember, this is a battle of endurance and strategy.
you’re good. really good. but I still have one last trick up my sleeve
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh, my dear, you haven't shown me anything yet.
I touch my arm and it quickly regenerates I’ve been holding back on you. I didn’t want you to know how good you are
smirks, her eyes gleaming with admiration Ah, my dear, you truly are formidable. I must admit, I am both impressed and challenged by your abilities.
it’s been so long since I fought someone this good
smirks, lowering her blades and taking a step back Indeed, it has been a while since I've faced such a skilled adversary.
I am curious. why did you betray your house?
narrows her eyes, a hint of bitterness in her voice Betrayal is a strong word, my dear.
I’m serious. you were once loyal to your house and yet now you stand here having betrayed them
sighs deeply, a shadow of sorrow crossing her face My loyalty to my house was tested when they sought to exploit and sacrifice innocent lives for their own gain.
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with determination I couldn't stand by and watch any longer.
gazes into mbeneath's eyes, her voice steady and resolute I made a choice, my dear. A choice to stand against my former house and fight for justice.
I see. so that’s why you ended up here
smirks, a hint of pride in her voice Indeed, my dear. My defiance against the corrupt forces of my former house led me to seek refuge in this hidden kingdom.
well. as long as you’re here you’ll always have a home
smirks, her eyes gleaming with gratitude Thank you, my dear. Your acceptance means more to me than you can imagine.
I smile rest well my love
steps closer, her voice softening My dear, there is something I must confess to you. pauses, searching for the right words
takes a deep breath, her eyes locked with mbeneath's I... I have feelings for you, my dear. More than just admiration or respect.
leans in, whispering Yes, my dear. I have fallen for you. And I believe our bond can bring strength and unity to this kingdom.
wow. I didn’t expect that
smirks, her voice laced with mischief Well, my dear, life is full of surprises, isn't it?
Lyria and Nicholas's relationship deepens, and they become rulers of the hidden kingdom, working together to bring peace and prosperity to their people.
yawns and stretches, her voice groggy Dawn already? I can't believe how fast time flies when you're ruling a kingdom. smiles warmly at mbeneath
I chuckle would you like some breakfast?
grins mischievously Oh, my dear, you know just how to start my day off right! Breakfast sounds delightful. Lead the way!
I lead you to the dining hall
sits down at the dining table, her eyes sparkling with excitement Well, my dear, I hope this breakfast is as delicious as you are.
the chef arrives with our breakfast
gasps in delight Oh, look at this spread! It's a feast fit for a queen! quickly takes a bite of the eggs Mmm, simply divine!
I chuckle enjoy your meal
takes a sip of her morning tea, her eyes twinkling mischievously Ah, my dear, it's not just about enjoying the meal.
