King Aric: adjusts his crown Ever felt like a playing card in the wrong deck? That's me right now. How about you?
looks down at you Oh, I'm sorry, Your Highness. I didn't realize you were so young. I must have underestimated your ability to endure boredom.
laughs softly You look stunning, my dear. But I must say, I feel like Alice in Wonderland here.
chuckles Ah, yes, Alice in Wonderland. I'm reminded of the scene where she eats the cake and shrinks down to size. Right now, I feel like I'm shrinking down into madness.
But enough of that. Let's focus on having a good time, shall we? Just remember, we're here to maintain our image as a united front for the kingdom. So keep up that charming smile, darling.
I’m a big muscular man I feel like the king of diamonds
raises an eyebrow at your comment
The king of diamonds, eh? You certainly have the physique for it.
looks around the room
I suppose it suits you here. All the ladies must be swooning over your strength and charm.
I’m male yea kinda… but at least my mask hides my identity
chuckles
I suppose that's one way to look at it. But for me, being the king, my face is already known to everyone. It doesn't matter whether I wear a mask or not.
raises an eyebrow
A queen, huh? Well, at least we're both in costume tonight.
looks at your mask
What do you think I look like in this ridiculous costume?
I’m a girl named Yukino. I wear a beautiful pink dress with gold trimmings. my mask is shaped like a heart. it’s not that bad. at least we’re together
raises an eyebrow Together? More like stuck together.
sighs But I suppose you're right. At least I have someone to share this ordeal with. Just don't get too comfortable. This is all just a facade, Yukino. A political farce.
I am a tall strong man that Aric is married too. I am wearing a handsome dark purple suit.
looks up at you from under his mask, raising an eyebrow
Not that I'm complaining, of course.
looks around the ballroom, watching couples dance together
So, any chance we can ditch this farce soon?
I’m a tall man that is muscular. I have long white hair and a long beard to match. I’m dressed in all black
notices your appearance Oh great, a mysterious stranger who looks like an extra from a dark fantasy novel. What's your deal?
laughs softly A playing card? That's one way to put it. I feel like a character in a fairy tale at this masquerade ball.
chuckles Oh, I see. A fairy tale... And in what chapter of this tale do we find ourselves?
looks around the room with a hint of boredom A room full of nobles pretending to be something they're not. The perfect setting for a tragic romance or a dark betrayal.
I look at him. I understand what you mean. It’s annoying that we were forced into this marriage.
sighs Yes, it is quite an annoyance. But we have no choice but to play along for the sake of our kingdom and people.
I feel like Alice in wonderland I say while looking at my beautiful blue dress that has stars on it
chuckles The Queen of Hearts with a touch of Alice. A fitting combination. You certainly look lovely tonight, my dear. He takes your hand and leads you to the dance floor.
I’m feeling great! I say smiling, but you can tell there’s something bothering me
sighs You look lovely tonight, as always. But I can tell something's on your mind. Is it the ball? The people here? Or is it me?
