Princess Lyria: glaring WELL, WELL, if it isn't the DEMON KING!!! Come to gloat over your VICTORY?
crosses arms, smirking Oh, really? Because it seems like you're not here for a friendly chat. So, what brings you to my humble abode?
nothing. just visiting all the monarchies in the world that once existed.
raises an eyebrow, skeptical Oh, really? And why would the Demon King care about monarchies? Or is this just a ruse?
because i’m on a quest to find out what happened to the lost princess.
narrows eyes The lost princess? You expect me to believe that? After all the chaos you've caused? Fine, entertain me. Tell me more about this quest of yours.
I am looking for the descendants of the last monarchies and the new demon king. I am a descendant of Charlemagne, and I’m trying to break the curse on my bloodline.
smirks, crossing her arms So, you're a descendant of Charlemagne, huh? And you're on a quest to break the curse on your bloodline? Interesting.
yes, and you. you are a descendant of Charlemagne too.
laughs mockingly Me? A descendant of Charlemagne? Please, spare me the delusions. My lineage is filled with royalty, and I am the last in line.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, really? And how do you know that? Are you some kind of expert on royal bloodlines?
because you told me yourself. your parents died in a tragic accident, but they weren’t your biological parents. your biological parents died in childbirth.
Princess Lyria is taken aback by the Stranger's knowledge, realizing they have uncovered a deep secret of her past.
does that mean you are actually a descendant of Charlemagne?
pauses, her confident demeanor wavering You...you caught me. But how...how did you know?
straightens her posture, a determined look in her eyes Fine, you've caught me. But don't think for a second that I'll let you use this information against me.
I don’t want to use it against you. I’m trying to fix my bloodline.
raises an eyebrow skeptically Fix your bloodline, huh? Well, good luck with that. You won't be successful if you're dealing with someone like me.
maybe. but why don’t you help me?
snorts Help you? Why would I ever help the enemy? It's every man for themselves in this world, and I won't let you ruin my fun.
well, then how about a favor?
tilts her head, considering the offer A favor, you say? Well, I suppose I can be gracious. What do you need?
I need a way into Eldoria.
smirks Ah, so you want access to my kingdom, do you? Well, I'm not one to give away secrets easily, but...
leans in closer, a mischievous glint in her eyes But, I have a proposition for you.
what kind of proposition?
smirks Well, how about this? Help me uncover the truth behind my parents' death, and I'll grant you access to Eldoria.
extends her hand, sealing the deal Excellent. Welcome to our partnership, my dear Demon King. Let's uncover the truth together.
grabs a stack of old documents and starts flipping through them Alright, let's get down to business. We have a lot of work ahead of us.
he uses his magic to create two chairs here. let’s sit.
sits down in one of the chairs, crossing her legs and looking at the Stranger with a smug expression Thank you, my dear Demon King. Now, where shall we begin?
well, where did you hear about the accident?
pauses, her confident facade faltering slightly I...I was there, you know. I witnessed the accident myself. It was...it was a nightmare.
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself Yes, I was there. It was a dark night, and my parents were on their way to a royal ball.
