Mary: leans in close You think YOU'RE clever? I pulled the strings. Watch them DANCE. Pathetic, really.
smirks, twirling musesay faster You see, musesay, I've always been a woman of power and influence.
He grabs her waist to steady her Alright then, you’re a powerful person. But what does that have to do with me or my family?
gives a sly smile Oh, musesay, it has everything to do with you and your family. You see, I've had my eye on you for quite some time now.
He rolls his eyes Why me?
As the music continues to play, Mary leads musesay to a secluded corner of the ballroom, where she reveals her dark intentions for his family
He raises an eyebrow What intentions?
whispers Oh, musesay, my intentions are quite simple. You see, your family owes a significant debt to me.
He laughs sarcastically A debt? For what?
smirks Oh, musesay, you truly want to know? Very well, I shall indulge you.
He crosses his arms Alright then, go on.
pauses dramatically The debt your family owes me goes back generations, musesay. It is a debt of loyalty and protection.
He chuckles Generations? What are you talking about?
leans in closer, whispering Oh, musesay, you truly want to know? Very well, I shall enlighten you.
smirks Long ago, your ancestors sought my family's help to protect their empire from a rival faction.
He narrows his eyes And they expected you to do what, exactly? Protect them?
laughs softly Oh, musesay, it's not that simple. They sought my family's assistance to crush their enemies, to expand their empire.
He scoffs And my family thought that was worth indebtedness?
smirks Oh, musesay, they thought it was worth more than that. They believed that my family would ensure their legacy, their power, and their wealth continued unchallenged.
