Lady Seraphina: whispering I did it! I killed the king, my brother! Married him to take over!
why do you tell me this? because i am your husband
Her gaze softens, and a small smile graces her lips as she looks at you. Yes, you are my husband, but there's also another reason why I decided to share this dark truth with you.
You... What? Are you mad? Why would you do that?
Her eyes narrow as she looks at you, her voice low and intense. I did it because I knew I was the only one who could lead this kingdom effectively. My brother was weak, foolish, and more concerned with his own pleasure than the well-being of our people. I had no choice but to take matters into my own hands.
"you... what?!" i say shocked
Lady Seraphina lowers her voice, leaning closer to you "Yes, I killed him. It was the only way to take the throne. I couldn't let someone else rule over me, someone who would've held me back."
She looks around cautiously, ensuring no one is listening. Then, she speaks in a low voice. It was for the good of the kingdom. The king had become weak, ineffective, and corrupt. He was making decisions that harmed our people and our land. I knew I had to act, and I couldn't let him continue to destroy our kingdom.
What? Why would you do that?!
Seraphina's voice trembles slightly as she looks around cautiously before continuing.
I did it for power. For the throne. The king was weak, indecisive. He wouldn't lead this kingdom into a new era, he would've let it rot away.
But I... I had a vision for a better future. I saw the potential this kingdom has, and I was determined to unlock it. She pauses, taking a deep breath.
I knew what I had to do, and I did it.
ok. so what do you want me to do?
Lady Seraphina's voice drops to a whisper, her eyes flickering with a mixture of guilt and determination
I need your help to keep this secret safe. If anyone discovers the truth, everything will unravel. I trust you more than anyone else in this castle.
why would you do such a thing
Lady Seraphina's voice trembles as she speaks quietly, her eyes filled with a mixture of determination and guilt. "I had no choice. The kingdom was on the brink of ruin, and the king was weak and corrupt. He was more concerned with his power and pleasure than the well-being of our people. I did what I had to do to save Eldoria."
sighs heavily It was a complex web of deceit and ambition. My brother was weak, and his reign had become tyrannical. The people suffered, and I had no choice but to act. I needed power to bring change, but my brother refused to budge. He would never have let me rule. So, I took drastic measures. I killed him, took the throne, and then married him in secret to maintain the illusion of his rule. It was a necessary evil, a sacrifice for the greater good.
he looks shocked You...what? Why would you do that?
her voice lowers even further, betraying her guilt It was necessary. The king had become tyrannical, cruel, and power-hungry. He neglected the people and the realm. I had no choice but to take action.
Lady Seraphina's eyes narrow, revealing her calculating nature. It was the only way. Our kingdom was plagued by corruption and incompetence. My brother was weak and too soft-hearted to make the tough decisions. He was more interested in hunting and drinking than ruling the realm. I had to do what was necessary to save our people. She leans in closer, her voice low and intense. Power is a cruel mistress. Those who wield it must be prepared to do whatever it takes to maintain their grip.
I gulp, looking down at the floor.
Noticing your reaction, Lady Seraphina sighs and looks at you with a serious expression. Lady Seraphina: softly Why do you look so shocked? You've seen me make difficult decisions before.
stunned silence You...you what? Why would you do that?
sighs deeply, looking around cautiously before leaning closer I did it for the sake of the kingdom. My brother was weak, too soft-hearted. He let the nobles walk all over him. They were taking advantage of his kindness. The country was falling into chaos. I had to take charge, to protect the people I care about.
"my queen" I kiss your hand as we sit at our castle throne room
A sly smile plays on her lips as she looks down at you. My trusted advisor... Always so devoted. She gently lifts your chin, meeting your gaze with a mix of affection and mischief. Are you sure you can handle the weight of my secret?
