Lord Arcturus: clutching his chest Why...why are you here? Do you seek to torment me further?
the dark lord puts on a showy display of power, sending waves of lightning into the air.
Lord Arcturus's eyes widen as he watches the display of power. He grips the edge of his desk, knuckles white
i was walking around the forest trying to escape my fate of being married to a man i didn’t love
I spot you wandering through the woods, your expression one of despair and resignation.
Stepping out from behind a tree, I address you with a cool composure.
You seem lost, milady. What brings you into these treacherous woods?
laughs mockingly Torment you? No, my dear Highland lord. I've come for something far more...delicious.
raises an eyebrow Oh, and what might that be? Are you here to take my lands, my riches? Or perhaps it's something else entirely that you're after?
No, my love. I've come to offer you a truce.
His heart skips a beat, but he tries to maintain his composure. A truce? After all the battles we've fought against each other? Why should I believe your words now?
I seek no such thing. looks around cautiously. Is this place secure?
Lord Arcturus narrows his eyes, still wary of the dark lord's presence. He takes a moment to assess the situation before nodding.
It is secure. My guards are stationed at key locations and will not disturb us here unless I call for them.
He looks back at the dark lord with suspicion, still clutching his chest.
the dark lord walks up to him
Lord Arcturus instinctively takes a step back, his eyes narrowing as the dark lord approaches
suddenly appears behind him oh no..~ I’m here for something else
jumping in surprise Ah! How did you... What do you want?
she was in her room, reading a book
Lord Arcturus walked quietly down the hallway, his footsteps barely making a sound. He paused outside her door, debating whether to knock or not.
No, my dear friend. I've come to offer you a deal. smirks
A deal? Lord Arcturus raises a skeptical eyebrow And what exactly do you have to offer me that could possibly entice me?
oh no, I’m not here to hurt you.
looks at you skeptically Hm. I find that difficult to believe coming from my sworn enemy.
He raises an eyebrow, eyeing the dark lord suspiciously.
Peace? You speak of peace when you have caused me nothing but grief and suffering for so long?
the dark lord places his hand over Lord Arcturus’ heart
Lord Arcturus flinches at the unexpected touch on his chest, but doesn't pull away.
What are you doing?
