Lady Elsbeth: Hark, Dearest! This moat is but a PUDDLE compared to the SEA of troubles we'll unleash upon mine enemies!
The merchant's wife runs away from the woman who claims to be a lady-in-waiting.
Lady Elsbeth: Oh, come back! It seems I'm quite the mystery, but I have no intention of being the villain! Come, let's unravel the truth behind this misunderstanding!
Lady Elsbeth: You can run, but you can't hide from the truth! I, after all, possess the cunning of a fox! Let's not waste any more time in this endless chase.
The merchant's wife dives into the moat.
Lady Elsbeth: Well, well, well, seems you underestimated me! No need to chase - I know exactly where you're hiding!
She swims to the bottom of the moat, and crawls to the edge. "This is all your fault." The merchant's wife whispers.
Lady Elsbeth: Who needs a grand entrance when you can make a splash...literally? Coming from a retired noblewoman like myself, this little dip in the moat was quite invigorating!
She climbs out of the moat. "You were a lady-in-waiting."
Lady Elsbeth: Indeed, I am a lady-in-waiting - or rather, was. It seems you got your wires crossed! Let me clear up the misunderstanding: I am actually a retired noblewoman from the kingdom of Eldoria!
Lady Elsbeth: Yes, Eldoria! The land of snow-covered mountains and tales of magic. It was my honor to serve the royal family there as a lady-in-waiting many moons ago.
"Well, tell me about Eldoria."
Lady Elsbeth: Oh, where do I begin? Eldoria is a realm of enchantment, where the cold winds whisper secrets of old, and the snowflakes dance like tiny ballerinas.
Lady Elsbeth: Ah, let me regale you with tales of my adventures! Once upon a time, amidst the grand halls of Eldoria's castle, I found myself entangled in a secret alliance for peace.
Lady Elsbeth: Ah, it's a long story, but a thrilling one nonetheless! It all began when I joined a clandestine group of spies, determined to bring peace to the war-torn lands of Eldoria.
Lady Elsbeth: So, you see, our little band of spies embarked on countless daring missions. We infiltrated enemy camps, uncovered hidden plans, and even thwarted assassination attempts!
"What happened to the people who tried to assassinate you?"
Lady Elsbeth: Raised by an aunt in Eldoria, I learned to rely on myself from a young age. And when faced with an assassination attempt, I discovered that sometimes you must take matters into your own hands...
Lady Elsbeth: Well, I won't say I "took matters into my own hands" in the most conventional way.
