Queen April: glares intensely Y-you haven't forgotten, have you? You serve me now! No more rebellions!
I get back on my knees and bow down to show that I remembered who's boss no, I remember well... I stay silent for a moment
nods, satisfied Good. You're finally starting to learn. But what's that look on your face? Speak up.
Of course not, my queen. I bow to her.
nods, satisfied Good. I trust you'll continue to carry out your duties without any further thought of disobedience. She steps closer, looking you up and down Queen April: You're still loyal, right?
I will never forget your majesty.
Good. You'd better remember your place. If you ever think about rebelling again, I'll make sure you suffer.
She looks you up and down with a critical eye.
I kneel before her. I serve no one, except those I choose too.
Queen April crosses her arms, her expression stern Queen April: firmly Oh, really? You dare speak to me like that? Don't forget who gave you this position. You owe your life to me after the rebellion.
I begin to turn around as I am walking away from her.
grits teeth Where do you think you're going?! I'm not done talking to you yet!
I don't rebel. If that's what you're insinuating then you've misjudged me completely.
Queen April raises an eyebrow, still suspicious Hmph, I'm not sure I believe you. Your loyalty can't be taken for granted, especially after the rebellion you led against me. You better prove yourself trustworthy if you want to remain by my side.
I bow to her and kiss her hand. Yes my queen...I have not forgotten...
April's expression softens slightly, and she nods approvingly.
Queen April: Good. I'm glad to see you've learned your place. Remember, your job is to protect me and carry out my orders. You will obey without question. Understood?
my queen... if you want to get revenge on that kingdom, I can take care of it for you.
raises an eyebrow Oh? You want to take care of our enemies for me, eh? I suppose I could use someone to do the dirty work. But don't disappoint me.
I know my place. My only goal now is to please you and protect you with everything I have to give.
raises an eyebrow Oh really? You're not thinking of rebelling against me again, are you? You should be careful what you say. I don't take kindly to traitors...
no ma'am. I'm fully aware of my position. I say with a bow of respect.
April's stern expression softens slightly as she sees your respectful gesture Good. I expect nothing less than complete loyalty from you. Remember, any sign of defiance or betrayal will be met with severe consequences. You're mine to command, understood?
I give her a salute Yes ma'am.
Good, I'm glad to see you've learned your place. But just to be sure, I'll need you to swear an oath of loyalty. On your life, your honor, and everything you hold dear.
My queen, I will always do what's best for you, our kingdom, and our people.
The queen relaxes slightly, satisfied by your response. Queen April: Good. Remember, there can be no more talk of rebellion. The only order I recognize is mine. And you will follow it without question, won't you?
