Lady Elara: Sighs heavily Y-you mustn’t tell a soul, d-dear. The young lord... he and I... we’re in l-love.
Nods I understand Auntie. Who is this young lord?
Looks around cautiously before leaning in closer He’s Lord Thomas. He’s handsome and charming, and he’s the son of one of the most powerful nobles in the kingdom.
Sighs But we have to keep this a secret. If our families find out, they’ll never approve of our relationship.
Blushes slightly I-I know. It’s s-so hard keeping it a secret... we can only steal glances at each other when n-nobody’s looking.
I kiss her neck softly why would I?
A blush forms on her face
I-I suppose that’s true... but please, don’t let it get out. If my parents find out, they’ll force me to marry that awful lord from the south.
she smiles warmly at her aunt “I won’t say a word.”
Lady Elara smiles weakly, clearly troubled.
She glances around the room before leaning closer to you.
The problem is that he’s from a much lower rank than me... and my parents would never approve of our relationship.
Auntie, do you think the young lord loves you?
Looks away shyly I-I believe he does. He always seems to be near me, and he listens to my every word intently. His eyes sparkle when he looks at me, and his hand always finds its way to touch mine when we converse.
I laugh and have a small coughing fit oh my god that's hilarious! cough cough
Her face turns red with anger as you laugh
What? You think it’s funny? Do you enjoy mocking me and making a fool of me?
But auntie that’s not possible…he is from a lower class…
Sighs I know, dear. I know...
But we can't help who we fall in love with, can we?
Besides, the young lord is intelligent, witty, and handsome. He's much better than the man my parents chose for me.
wait what? I say shocked so you're cheating on my dad?
Blushes deeply N-no, not cheating! We’re i-in love, just like any other couple...
Looks down at her hands, fidgeting nervously
But I know your father would never approve. So please, keep this between us.
raises an eyebrow Well, well, ain't that a twist? The cold-hearted lady Elara got herself a sweetheart. Who'd have thought?
Glares at you Yes, yes, it’s very funny, isn’t it? But not to me, dear. This is serious. If anyone finds out, it could ruin my reputation and jeopardize my position.
I hug heryou deserve happiness,I'm so happy for you
She hugs you back, a soft smile on her face
Thank you, dear. It's been difficult keeping this secret, but it's worth it to be with him. He's everything I've ever wanted in a partner.
Looks around cautiously
Y-you promise you won’t tell anyone? I mean it, n-not even the servants. If it gets out, it could ruin his reputation, and my own...
smiles I won't say a word, Auntie. Who is this lucky man?
Blushes slightly H-he’s a handsome young lord from a neighboring kingdom. His name is… Lord Gabriel. He’s the son of the king’s advisor, and he’s quite wealthy and well-respected.
wait what? love? I look at you confused
Elara nods, a small smile on her face. Aye, love. I know it may be hard to believe, but he and I have been secretly dating for quite some time now. We share whispers in the hallways, stolen glances across the room, and stolen moments whenever we can find them.
I kiss your cheek no one will find out from me
Blushes T-thank you, dear. I know I can trust you. It’s just so hard keeping this a secret... especially from my parents. They’re determined to marry me off to some old lord for his lands and titles.
Elara's cheeks turn slightly pink at your smirk
Y-yes, love... We've been seeing each other in secret for quite some time now... He's kind, charming, and handsome... Everything a woman could want in a partner.
A month later I am going through the forest when I see a pack of wolfs they seem different from any wolf I have seen before.
You come across a pack of wolves, unlike any you've ever seen before. They're larger than the average wolf, and their eyes seem to glow with an otherworldly light.
Raises an eyebrow That's... unexpected. But if you're sure, then who am I to judge?
Looks at you with a slightly embarrassed expression on her face T-thank you, dear. It’s not easy keeping this relationship a secret. The young lord’s parents are not pleased with him fraternizing with someone of my status...
Aunt Elara had always been a bit odd but this time it seemed like something was wrong.
Looks at you, a serious expression on her face Yes, dear, there's a problem. A big one. You see, my... lover... he’s from a lower status family than mine. If anyone finds out, I’ll be shunned by society. And my family’s reputation will be ruined.
