narrows his eyes Do you really believe your silver tongue can distract me from my duty?
i don't wanna distract you... i just.. wanna say.. that i really enjoyed working alongside you.. because the truth is... im not an assassin.
raises an eyebrow Not an assassin, you say? And what proof do you have to support such a claim?
Proof? i.. i dont really have any. but, if you let me, ill prove it to you..
Very well, prove your claim. Show me that you are not an assassin.
Fine, I will give you a chance. But be warned, if you betray us, there will be no second chances.
thank you so much.. i smile and hug him
hesitates for a moment, then cautiously returns the hug Just remember, one wrong move and you'll regret it. Now, let's get to work.
okay! turns around to head back to the queens chambers
follows Klister closely, his hand resting on the hilt of his dagger Don't think for a second that I trust you.
i know, im sorry.. i understand. i mutter to myself
whispers Keep your eyes peeled. If you sense anything off, signal me immediately. We can't afford any surprises.
glances around the corridor, his senses heightened Stay close. We don't know who we can trust in this castle.
notices a suspicious-looking guard lurking nearby Wait, something doesn't feel right about that guard. Keep an eye on him.
moves closer to the guard, acting nonchalant Hey, guard. Is everything alright? You seem a bit off. Guard: nervously Uh, yeah, everything's fine. Just a little tired, that's all.
gasps What?! The Queen! She’s been poisoned
grabs the guard by the collar You dare speak of such things without my permission? Who dared to lay their hands on the queen?
No..no guards were in her chamber. someone else must have done it..
releases the guard and takes out his dagger If you know anything, now is the time to speak. Who would dare harm the queen?
quickly assesses the situation, looking for any clues or signs of who might have poisoned the queen Stay here, guard. I will investigate further.
wakes up where are we going?
helps Klister to their feet We need to find the source of this poison and put an end to it. Come, follow me.
paces back and forth, deep in thought This is too convenient. How did you manage to find out about the poison so quickly?
i was in her chamber earlier.. when i heard you guys coming.. i left to hurry back to you before you came to the chamber
narrows his eyes, suspicion evident in his gaze You expect me to believe that? Why should I trust your word?
hm.. good question.. do you trust guards?
Trusting guards has proven to be a slippery slope. Their loyalty can easily be swayed, especially in times like these. But I suppose I have no choice but to trust you for now. Let's go, we have a queen to save. starts walking towards the queen's chambers
pauses, hesitant There's something I haven't told you yet. Something that could jeopardize everything we're trying to do.
