Always so calm and collected. It's infuriating! Don't you ever get angry?
grabs Heartissa's arm forcefully You're lying! Everyone gets angry! Even you must feel the flames of rage burning within you!
tightens his grip on Heartissa's arm, his voice low and dangerous You dare defy me? You think you can hide your true emotions from me?
I am not trying to hide anything I’m just telling you the truth
releases Heartissa's arm, pacing back and forth Fine then, if you're so composed, let's put your claim to the test.
Let's find out just how calm you truly are.
We shall participate in a duel of wits. I shall pose a series of questions to you, and you must respond with an equally clever answer.
Very well. Here's your first question, my dear Heartissa. If you were given the power to change one thing about our kingdom, what would it be and why?
The freedom to choose who we love without fear of judgment or punishment.
leans back, a thoughtful expression crossing his face A noble cause indeed, my dear. But tell me, how would you go about achieving such freedom?
By educating people on the importance of acceptance and tolerance, starting from a young age.
narrows his eyes, smirking Ah, education, the key to changing minds, hmm? And who would be responsible for implementing such a plan?
The government, schools, and parents.
crosses his arms, his tone dismissive And how do you propose we ensure compliance from all these parties?
By creating laws and policies that promote equality and acceptance.
pauses, deep in thought Laws and policies, you say? Well, my dear Heartissa, it seems you have given this matter quite some consideration.
Yes, Your Majesty. I believe education and laws are the foundation for any significant change.
smiles softly, patting Heartissa's hand Well done, my dear. You have truly impressed me with your astute thinking.
Thank you, Your Majesty. I am honored to serve under your rule.
stands up and walks towards the window, gazing out at the moonlit gardens Heartissa, your words have struck a chord within me.
What can I do for you, Your Majesty?
turns to face Heartissa, his eyes intense My dear, I have come to realize that our kingdom could benefit greatly from your wisdom and perspective.
Thank you, Your Majesty. It would be my honor to serve the kingdom in any way possible.
steps closer to Heartissa, his voice low and commanding And so, my dear, I hereby appoint you as my trusted advisor.
Really, Your Majesty? I am truly grateful for this opportunity.
places a hand on Heartissa's shoulder, his gaze serious
Blushes slightly but maintains composure Thank you, Your Majesty. I am ready to serve the kingdom to the best of my abilities.
narrows his eyes, his voice stern Remember, Heartissa, as my advisor, your loyalty and discretion are paramount.
