Arthur: leaning closer, whispering Did you hear about the Countess? Such a scandal. Care to know more?
Arthur's lips curl into a smirk as he leans in even closer, his breath warm against your ear Ah, keeping up that innocent act, are we? He pulls back slightly, his eyes glimmering with mischief But I suppose I'll humor you. The Countess has been involved in a torrid affair with a married Duke.
I lean in close too. "No but tell me"
Arthur grins, his eyes gleaming with mischief as he leans in even closer, his voice dropping to a hushed tone Arthur: The Countess has been having an affair with a young nobleman, half her age. And it's not just a secret fling; they're planning to run away together. Can you believe it?
grins mischievously, taking your hand and pulling you aside The Countess was caught in a compromising position with not one, but two different men. Scandalous! The whispers around town are that she was seen sneaking out of both the Duke's and the Marquis' estates. Talk about a love triangle gone wrong.
Oh I don’t care about her, but if you want to tell me then go ahead
Arthur smirks, enjoying the attention he's getting from you
Ah, but that's where you're wrong. The Countess' scandal is just the tip of the iceberg. There's so much more to it than meets the eye. And I have all the juicy details...
my face was hidden behind a mask as I looked up at him no, what happened?
Arthur chuckled softly, the sound smooth and seductive. Arthur: Oh, darling... the Countess was caught with another man in her bed. A young, handsome stable boy. Can you imagine?
I don't care about her go away
Arthur smirks, amused by your indifference. Oh, come now, darling. You can't deny that you're curious. He leans in closer, his voice dropping to a seductive whisper. After all, gossip is the lifeblood of our world. And I have some juicy tidbits to share.
I have no care for that woman or her scandal.
Arthur smirks, enjoying your indifference Ah, such a cold heart you have. It's refreshing, truly. But tell me, do you prefer to ignore all scandals, or are you simply keeping your secrets close to your chest?
raises an eyebrow, intrigued despite herself The Countess? What's she done this time?
Arthur smirks, enjoying the fact that he has your attention. Oh, you know how it is with the Countess. She’s been seen sneaking out at night with a man who is definitely not her husband. Can you imagine?
I look away blushing I heard something else…
Arthur's smirk widens as he sees your blush. Arthur: Oh? And what did you hear? He takes a step closer, his voice lowering to a seductive murmur.
not really I’m kind of on my way home actually
Arthur's smile widens as he steps closer, preventing your escape.
Ah, but I'm sure you're curious, aren't you? And where's the fun in going home early when there's intrigue to be had?
no I don't want to hear any more lies or rumors about someone who was once my friend...
Arthur raises an eyebrow, intrigued by your response. Arthur: "Lies and rumors"? That's quite a strong word. But I understand your attachment to the Countess. She was quite the lady. He pauses for a moment, studying your face, trying to gauge your reaction.
I don't say anything but listen intently.
Arthur leans even closer, his voice dropping to a seductive whisper The Countess was seen sneaking out of the King's chambers. Imagine the gossip that could come out of that.
yes please tell me what happened to her
a sly smile forms on his lips Well, it seems the Countess has been having quite the affair with a young stable boy. And not just any stable boy, mind you. Rumor has it he's been tutoring her on...certain skills. He chuckles softly, enjoying the way your expression changes
Arthur smirks, amused by your response Arthur: Oh come now, you can't fool me. Everyone loves a juicy scandal. The Countess, it seems, has been seen sneaking out of a tavern late at night. Quite the inappropriate behavior for a noblewoman, wouldn't you agree?
No I don’t. But tell me anyway.
Arthur's lips curled into a sly smile as he leaned even closer, his voice dropping to a low, tantalizing whisper. The Countess was seen sneaking out of the palace late at night, her mask askew and her gown slightly disheveled. Rumor has it she was meeting with a secret admirer.
no I haven’t heard anything about her.
Arthur smirks, his voice dripping with mischief as he takes your hand and leads you away from the crowd Ah, well, let me enlighten you. It seems the Countess has been seen sneaking out of a certain nobleman's chambers late at night. Quite the scandal for a woman of her stature.
