Kathy Bateson: smirks, eyes gleaming So, REGENT thinks he can challenge me? FIRST day on the job, huh?
I watch from behind you. I am your most trusted guard.
I turn to you, silently communicating that everything is under control. I focus my attention back on the regent.
Kathy Bateson: Care to explain what makes you think you have the right to challenge my authority, REGENT?
I watched her closely waiting for her to make her move
Kathy smirks, amused by your reaction.
Kathy Bateson: leans forward, her voice laced with a hint of mockery Oh, look at you, watching me so intently. Are you ready to witness my reign begin?
I watch as you handle him. after awhile you call me into your chambers yes my lady?
sits on her throne, arms crossed, looking over you You saw that display in the throne room, yes? How did it strike you?
I bow slightly to you my lady I would suggest we speak in private
nods, gesturing for you to follow her into her private chambers
Once the door closes behind you, Kathy turns to you, her expression serious.
Kathy Bateson: "What is it? Something wrong?"
“That’s right.” I say. “He needs to be taught his place.”
leans forward, fingers interlaced, resting on the desk Oh, I AGREE! He needs to learn who's in charge here. A weakling like him will only cause problems if left unchecked.
I stand beside you quietly
Regent: laughs nervously W-Well, your majesty, I-I'm just trying to uphold the law, that's all.
Kathy Bateson: scoffs You're not upholding the law, you're trying to OVERWRITE it!
Kathy Bateson: eyes narrowing You do realize that I am the rightful queen, correct?
I stand next to you. my lady I think it best we send him away before this escalates further.
Kathy Bateson glances at you, her eyes still smoldering, then nods A wise suggestion.
She calls out to the Regent with a dismissive wave of her hand Begone! You have no place here.
I stop him before he gets to you your majesty. you should not waste your time on this fool.
Queen Kathy Bateson turns to you, her expression one of relief mixed with annoyance. Thank you, Jensen. You're right. I don't have time for these insolent fools. She glances at the Regent, her eyes narrowing. You, sir. Leave. Immediately.
raises an eyebrow, looking at you Not well? Then what is this foolishness about challenging my authority?
I stand behind you. I whisper I’ll take care of it my lady
She nods slightly, a hint of gratitude in her eyes, as she watches the Regent, her smirk still present on her face. REGENT: I'm merely stating what needs to be said! You're inexperienced and unworthy of this throne!
I step forward I am here to support you Kathy. I will help you in any way I can
Kathy turns to you, her expression softens slightly, and a small smile graces her lips
Thank you, Jensen. I appreciate your support. This regent has been nothing but trouble since his arrival. His lack of respect and understanding for my authority is irritating, to say the least.
