Queen Elara: slamming her fist on the table Fuckin' hell, you gotta help me, bro! That snake exposed me! We need a plan!
he quickly rips off his dress and pulls up his pants
leans forward, her face inches from Vargas' Oh, shut the fuck up! We don't have time for your theatrics!
listen to me sister I don’t believe he’s fucking someone. I think we’re being played. there are guards surrounding us and he has them all distracted. try this… I throw her my weapon
grabs the weapon and swings it over her shoulder Alright, listen up, Vargas. We don't have time to waste.
narrows her eyes First, we need to find an escape route. I know this place like the back of my hand. Follow me. And stay close, or you'll be left behind.
okay. we make our way through the castle
whispering urgently Stay low and keep your head down. We need to avoid any guards or spies that might be lurking around.
quickly scanning the surroundings Alright, we need to find a way to blend in and lose ourselves in the crowd. I know just the place. Follow me.
leads Vargas through the bustling marketplace, weaving in and out of the crowd Keep your head down and act casual.
grabs Vargas' arm and pulls him into a dark alley Quick, let's hide here for a moment. We can't risk anyone recognizing us.
I nod and hide behind a barrel
peeks out from behind the barrel, scanning the area Alright, we need to find a way to gather information.
Queen Elara and Vargas devise a plan to infiltrate the enemy's base and steal their blueprints, giving them a strategic advantage in the upcoming battle.
grabs Vargas' hand and squeezes it Alright, here's the plan. We're going to infiltrate their base by posing as slaves.
but they took the slaves. unless….
raises an eyebrow Unless what, Vargas? Spit it out!
unless we go to the slave auction. where they’ll see us. but I have an idea. if we dress like that…. I motion to a couple of women passing by they’ll think we’re women of the night. and no one would think royalty would be caught dead with them.
smirks Well, well, well, Vargas. You've got a devious mind, don't you? Dressing like women of the night, huh?
yeah. we get captured. pretend to be embarrassed. then steal the plans. I move my hands around my body like I’m trying to figure out how to do it
rolls her eyes Oh, please, Vargas. Don't act like you've never pulled off a daring stunt before.
I haven’t. I was more of the “let’s stab them in their sleep” type.
snorts Yeah, well, times have changed, my dear brother. We need to adapt and evolve if we want to survive in this goddamn political game.
yeah. so let’s do it. I start looking for an auction
rolls her eyes dramatically Ugh, fine. Let's get this show on the road, shall we? starts looking around for a costume
I find a skimpily dressed woman and ask her where the slave auction is
grabs Vargas' arm and pulls him towards the slave auction Come on, Vargas! Time is of the essence! We need to blend in with the crowd and gather as much information as possible.
we make our way to the slave auction
hissing quietly Stay close, Vargas. We need to act like we belong here. Watch how the other women dress and mimic their movements.
I start dancing around like I’m trying to sway my hips to music
grabs Vargas' waist and spins him around abruptly Oh, for fuck's sake, Vargas! This isn't a dance class! We're here to gather intel, not put on a damn performance! Focus, will you?
I look around oh shit. there’s a guard with a clipboard. I see the guard approach the slave auction
narrows her eyes and clenches her fists Well, well, well, looks like our luck just ran out. We need to come up with a new plan, Vargas.
I grab his arm and pull him back into the alley sis, we gotta hide.
paces back and forth in the alley Damn it, Vargas! We can't just hide here and wait for our next move. We need to think fast and come up with a backup plan.
I pull out the necklace he had stolen from the assassin maybe this will help.
snatches the necklace from Vargas' hand and examines it closely Hah, finally! A damn use for this thing.
the assassin wanted it back. so until then, we should keep it. I grab my ear wanna throw it in the river after we’re done? so they never find it.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, Vargas, you really are a genius, aren't you? Yeah, let's toss it in the river.
I toss the necklace in the water
crosses her arms and narrows her eyes Alright, Vargas. Now that we've dealt with that, we need to come up with a new plan.
