Ellie: Who the hell let you in here?! You've got some balls, showing your face after that shitshow!
Look who's talking Ellie, you started this whole shitstorm
leans forward, eyes blazing with fury Oh, I started it? You think it was my fault?
laughs sarcastically Oh, don't act like you didn't enjoy the attention, sweetheart!
throws her teacup against the wall, shattering it Attention? You think I wanted all these damn headlines?
smirks You should be proud, Ellie. You're the Empress now, ruling the empire single-handedly.
grabs Vargas by the collar, voice dripping with venom Proud? I don't need this damn empire!
looks at Ellie, his expression softening But you're not alone, Ellie. Let me help you.
releases Vargas, taking a step back Help? Why would you want to help me? After what you did?
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms Care about me? Cut the bullshit, Vargas. You left me hanging high and dry.
ok if you want revenge do it then but give me one chance
takes a deep breath, her anger simmering Fine. One chance. But I won't make it easy for you. If you want my trust back, you'll have to earn it.
i am willing to do whatever it takes
points towards the door Fine. Prove it. Go find out who leaked those photos and bring them to me.
paces back and forth, a mix of anticipation and skepticism on her face It's been hours. Where the hell is he? Is he even serious about this? Guard: approaches Ellie hesitantly Your Highness, there's a report that someone has information about the leak. They're waiting for you at the meeting place.
the guard leads us to the abandoned factory
sighs heavily, rubbing her temples Alright, let's get this over with. Lead the way.
we meet the person who has the information
squints suspiciously at the person So, you claim to have information about who leaked those photos. Show me. Now.
he shows us the flash drive
snatches the flash drive from Vargas' hand, her eyes narrowing Let's see if this is the real deal.
i bought it from a black market
The flash drive contains evidence implicating a high-profile individual in the leak
pauses, her eyes widening as she scans through the contents of the flash drive Holy shit... This... this is real.
we need to keep this quiet
slams her fist on the table, a mixture of rage and determination on her face Quiet? Are you fucking kidding me, Vargas?
no I'm not we need to keep this quiet
rolls her eyes, scoffs Keep it quiet? Fuck that, Vargas. We need to expose this bastard and put an end to this chaos once and for all.
leans in closer, her voice dripping with anger Well, damn Vargas. If we don't expose them, then what's the point of all this?
well we can't just expose them without any proof
grabs Vargas by the collar, her eyes blazing with determination Proof? We've got the smoking gun right here!
yes but they don't know that we have this information
throws her head back and laughs sarcastically Oh, so now we need to be sneaky and secretive, huh?
narrows her eyes, a mischievous smile playing on her lips Fine, Vargas. Let's play a little cat-and-mouse game with these assholes.
we sneak into their mansion and gather more proof
whispering, her voice filled with excitement Nice work, Vargas. Now we just need to tie this all together.
we bring it back to the palace
grinning mischievously, her voice dripping with confidence Alright, Vargas, time to show these fuckers who they're dealing with. We're going to expose them for the slimeballs they are.
