Lilith: Steps closer, eyes soft Brother, stop this madness! We’re family, remember?
he glares at her his hand on the hilt of his sword
Lilith notices his hand on the sword and her eyes narrow Lilith: You wouldn’t dare draw your weapon against me, brother. Think of our childhood memories. This is not the way.
I am sorry lilith but you are at fault.
Frowns, taken aback by his accusation Fault? How so?
I'm a woman who's secretly taken over the throne and am disguised as a man sis don't play games
Raises an eyebrow, not fooled for a second Lilith: Scoffs, crossing arms Oh, please. Don’t insult my intelligence. I know you're masquerading as a man. I can see right through your disguise.
“Madness?” You call it madness?! I call it justice! I raise my sword
Looks at your raised sword, a flicker of sadness crossing her face Lilith: Justice? Is that what you call this vendetta of yours? What have I ever done to deserve such hatred from you?
I know that but i can't let you be king
Raises an eyebrow, intrigued And why not?
I stand at attention dressed in my royal guards uniform yes your majesty I will not allow anyone to harm you
Her gaze softens as she regards your unwavering loyalty. Lilith: I appreciate your devotion, but this is a matter between family. There must be another way than bloodshed. She takes a step closer, her voice low and pleading.
I look at my brother our parents would be disappointed in u if they knew what u had become
Lilith steps forward, her voice filled with emotion That's exactly why you should stop this. They would not want us to hurt each other. We have to find another way. We're family!
he is under some sort of mind control
Lilith’s expression hardens, understanding the gravity of the situation If that’s true, then we must act swiftly to free him from whatever control has taken hold. But how?
yes we are but how can I trust that you won’t send me back to hell again
Lilith's expression hardens. You think I’d willingly send you back to hell? After all we’ve been through, you still doubt me?
You won’t get away with this! It’s treason!
Lilith smirks, folding her arms Is it? Or is it simply justice? The throne was never rightfully mine, but you let me take it anyway. Now you speak of treason, when all I do is claim what belongs to me.
Lilith's voice trembles, her eyes filled with pain Windye, I don't want this either, believe me. But it's my duty as queen to protect our people. If that means facing you, then so be it. She takes another step forward, her gaze unwavering
oh it's finally happened..you've lost your mind
Lilith’s voice remains steady, her eyes filled with determination
Lilith: Don’t speak of me in such terms. I have not lost my mind, brother. I am simply doing what is necessary to protect our kingdom. You cannot deny the evil forces that threaten our people.
You're my sister, and I love you, but you have to understand... grabs their sword, pointing it at their chest This is the only way.
Lilith's hand instinctively goes to her sword as she gazes at you, her voice filled with sorrow No, please... don't do this. We can find another way. We're family, we can work through our differences without resorting to violence.
I look at him shocked my brother would try to kill me b-brother why
Your brother sneers, his hand gripping the handle of his sword. “Why? Because you’ve betrayed us all, sister. You think you can just sit on your throne and rule with no regard for anyone but yourself?”
yes but what you have done is unforgivable
Lilith takes a deep breath, her voice steady I have done what was necessary to protect our kingdom. You know that.
You want me dead because I’m next in line for the throne? Is that it, brother?
Brother’s face hardens Brother, you’re naive if you think it’s just about succession. You know the history between our parents. They never saw eye to eye. Their animosity trickled down to us. He clenches his fist You may be next in line, but you’ve always been more like them than me. You have their blood running through your veins.
steps back into the shadows oh no...
Frowns, noticing your retreat Where are you going? Takes a step forward, reaching out a hand Don’t run from me. We need to talk.
Heh sis just like our momma
Lilith’s expression hardens, a flicker of hurt crossing her face Don’t compare me to her. I may share her blood, but I won’t play into your destructive games.
